The Politics of Industrial Relations
The book provides a comprehensive analysis of Spanish unions since the Franco dictatorship. It builds on industrial relations, political science, and political economy literature to investigate the trajectory of Spanish unions. It analyzes unions as political actors, that is, their interaction and involvement with governments, political parties, and political processes.
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. Portugal and Spain share fundamental features, such as the extensive clientelistic mobilisation of voters, the dissemination of fraud and corruption, the supremacy of governmental parties and the prevalence of the politics of notables. Part Two f...

It analyzes the remarkable transformation that has taken place over the last decade, and offers important insights about the origins of nationalism and politics of secessionism.
Narrating Europe
Die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes haben eine Reihe von Reden von Spitzenpolitikern zur europäischen Integration aus einer großen Zeitspanne (1946-2020) analysiert, wobei sie jede Rede in ihren zeitgeschichtlichen Kontext gestellt und in den biographischen Hintergrund des Redners eingeordnet haben. Die vergleichende Analyse zeigt, dass es notwendig ist, wieder zu entdecken, dass das Ideal des europäischen Einigungswerks genauso spannend sein kann wie andere nationale geschichtliche Kontroversen. Angesichts eines grassierenden Euroskeptizismus kann eine historische Einordnung und Kontextualisierung der Rolle der Kommunikation der europäischen Integration ein nützliches Instrumentar...
The Global Life of Mines
Resource extraction exists in diverse settings across the world and is carried out through different practices. The Global Life of Mines provides a comprehensive framework examining the spatial and temporal relationships between mining and postmining as interrelated and coexisting features within the global minescape. The book brings together scholars from various fields, such as anthropology, geography, sociology and political science, examining ethnographic case studies throughout the Americas (Bolivia, Brazil, Peru, USA), Africa (Democratic Republic of Congo) and Europe (Italy, Arctic Norway and Spain).
Democracy and Institutional Development
This book analyzes Spanish political parties and institutions in comparative theoretical perspective. Two primary themes are addressed: institutionalization and the distribution of institutionalization in the polity, and the relationship between institutional design and representation .
The Left Divided
Why do some countries construct strong systems of social protection, while others leave workers exposed to market forces? In the past three decades, scholars have developed an extensive literature theorizing how hegemonic social democratic parties working in tandem with a closely-allied trade union movement constructed models of welfare capitalism. Indeed, among the most robust findings of the comparative political economy literature is the claim that the more political resources controlled by the left, the more likely a country is to have a generous, universal system of social protection. The Left Divided takes as its starting point the curious fact that, despite this conventional wisdom, v...
EL INTRINCADO CAMINO DEL PSOE HACIA EL PODER (1979-1982)
Este libro es el resultado de un amplio trabajo de investigación sobre la transición a la democracia en España. El autor ha realizado un sugestivo retrato de una época convulsa y llena de incertidumbres, y también de una sociedad en pleno cambio, ilusionada por una vida mejor en un país por fin libre de la oprobiosa dictadura. Tomando como hilo conductor las vicisitudes del PSOE a lo largo de aquellos años, el texto persigue explicar la contribución de los socialistas al difícil proceso de consolidación de la democracia, así como su política para alcanzar el poder lo antes posible. Sus páginas tratan de explicar cómo un partido de escasa relevancia durante el franquismo se convirtió a partir de las elecciones de 1977 en el principal grupo de oposición y en el referente de la izquierda, cómo encaró el difícil proceso de cambio democrático, impulsando una política de consenso que culminaría en la Constitución de 1978.
