Challenges of Psychoanalysis in the 21st Century
This book is the proceedings of an International Conference on Challenges of Psychoanalysis in the 21st Century: Psychoanalysis, Health and Psychosexuality in the Era of Virtual Reality, held 15-17 September, 2000, in Geneva, Switzerland.

Àmbits de recerca i metodologies en sociologia
Aquest llibre recull dinou resums de recerques tant individuals com col·lectives vehiculades al voltant de sis grups de recerca consolidats de la Universitat de Barcelona que han desenvolupat i divulgat la investigació sociològica en els darrers cinc anys. El ventall de temes tractats és divers i dóna claus per entendre la realitat social que ens envolta: mercat laboral, mobilitat i benestar; recerca, internacionalització i innovació; ciutats i creativitat; control social, càstig i seguretat; gènere, família, exclusió i desigualtat, i llengua, religió i felicitat. Per altra banda, a l’interès temàtic cal afegir-hi el metodològic, ja que a cada capítol s’exposen les perspectives teòriques i les tècniques de recollida i anàlisi de dades que s’hi han utilitzat. Més enllà de les aplicacions didàctiques que té aquest material, sens dubte servirà per estimular la recerca sociològica i obrir noves línies de treball.
Principles and Practices of Fiscal Autonomy
This century has seen the continuation of long-term trends in the movement of the territorial boundaries of nation states alongside the emergence of new tensions. The repercussions of the Scottish referendum and the heightened urgency of the Catalonia question along with the continued economic problems faced by the Eurozone have given new energy and context to debates on institutional and fiscal autonomy. Assessing the impact of increasing calls for wider fiscal autonomy in the UK, Spain, Switzerland, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Italy and the USA this volume updates and adds significant new context to the debate. Framing the discussion on fiscal autonomy and drawing out ethical considerations it portrays the problems connected with the devolution of responsibilities and financial resources to sections of the population, sometimes content to be part of a lower layer of government, sometimes aspiring to an asymmetrical position or total independence.
