España. Un relato de grandeza y odio
Una obra para pensar y reflexionar sobre quiénes somos y la importancia e influencia que hemos tenido en la Historia. José Varela Ortega realiza en esta obra una apasionada defensa de España y de sus múltiples valores. Y lo hace desde varios campos: la filosofía, la literatura, el cine o el arte. Analiza la imagen de nuestro país en el extranjero a lo largo de la historia y explica cómo se fue forjando de forma premeditada nuestra leyenda negra, pero resalta que también hubo una época de admiración hacia nuestro país y que, normalmente, se obvia desde España. Es cierto que la imagen de España ha sido distorsionada por los estereotipos y la mirada del otro, pero también por los ...
The Politics of Representation
Electoral and parliamentary arenas play a crucial role in the configuration and dynamics of modern polities. This book explores the practices of citizenship and unveils the fabric of representation in the Iberian countries, during a significant period of liberal politics, that is, from its apogee to its collapse (from the 1870s to the 1920s). Part One examines the evolution of electoral norms and behaviour, as well as the recruitment profile of MPs.

Part Two f...
Marxism and the Failure of Organised Socialism in Spain, 1879-1936
This is the first full-length study in English of the role of Marxist theory in the Spanish Socialist movement prior to the outbreak of Civil War in 1936. In particular, the author stresses the intellectual poverty of this aspect of leftwing politics in Spain. In concentrating on the Partido Socialista Obrero Espafiol (PSOE), the major organised party of the left prior to the Civil War, the study seeks to achieve two main aims: first, to attempt to isolate the political, social and intellectual factors which led to a particularly distorted version of Marxism which became established in Spain at the end of the nineteenth century; and second, to demonstrate how this particular conception of Marxism had a crucial negative impact on the political formulations and fortunes of the PSOE between 1879 and 1936. The central argument of the book is that the significance of Spanish Marxism lay precisely in its poverty, since it was this 'decaffeinated' version of the theory which set the parameters within which the PSOE formulated its strategy for socialism.
