La nueva Ley reguladora de la jurisdicción social (LRJS) cambia sustancialmente el ámbito del proceso social. Amplía sus competencias a todas las que puedan calificarse como "sociales", incluyendo el control jurisdiccional de los actos administrativos singulares o plurales dictados sobre estas materias, asumiendo las hasta ahora atribuidas al conocimiento del orden civil y contencioso-administrativo. Se constituye al orden social como el único competente para conocer de los litigios sobre prevención de riesgos laborales, por lo que también los funcionarios o personal estatuario deberán plantear sus reclamaciones sobre accidentes de trabajo o enfermedades profesionales ante este orden ...

Based on research in libraries and archives in Cuba, Spain, the United States, and the Netherlands, it focuses on how urban laborers joined together in collective action during the transition from slave to free labor and in the last decades of Spanish colonial rule in Cuba.

This deeply affected the labor movement that started in the late 1850s, as it became difficult to mobilize workers with common interests across the diverse ranks. Paradoxically, this also drove t...
El movimiento estudiantil en las universidades españolas se convirtió en uno de los factores de mayor peso en la configuración de la oposición al régimen de Franco. Es más, muchos de los elementos que jugaron un papel de protagonismo en el proceso de transición que dió lugar a la Monarquía Democrática habían jugado sus primeras armas políticas desde las aulas universitarias en los años sesenta y setenta del pasado siglo. La particularidad de este estudio es que su autor ha conseguido acceder a una documentación hasta ahora inédita y cuya consulta ha presentado no pocas dificultades. Además, se ha entrevistado con muchos de los protagonistas de aquellos acontecimientos que le han proporcionado toda la información que la memoria de cada uno de ellos ha sido capaz de recomponer.
