Since the mid-1990s, the term 'foodscapes' has been used. Its reference to landscape opens it up to a wide theoretical variety and numerous methodological approaches. Through the large 'semantic yard' of the concept of landscape it becomes clear that the approach of foodscapes aims less at the description or pure positivistic analysis of the production, distribution and consumption of food, but is rather open to aesthetic approaches, normative questions, aspects of the connection of food and space with meaning. In this respect, research on foodscapes is not simply a part of food geography but reaches beyond it. With this anthology we contribute to the development of the research field on foodscapes and combine diverse perspectives from different disciplines, locations and theoretical as well as methodological backgrounds on the diversity of what foodscapes can be. Our anthology 'Foodscapes - Theory, History, and Current European Examples' is the result of the collaboration of lecturers and students from the universities of Bucharest, Madrid, Rome and Tübingen.

Tal y como hoy en día se pone de relieve de forma cada vez más creciente, el Derecho, y concretamente la regulación adecuada y de calidad, puede ser un elemento que permita e incentive la innovación en la sociedad o, por el contrario, la dificulte y la desincentive. La innovación es clave para la competitividad y el crecimiento económico de los países, tanto en los niveles micro co...
O tema proposto é o do estatuto constitucional do Presidente da República e, em especial, o de uma possível articulação entre esse seu estatuto e o Princípio Republicano, na tentativa de densificação do conceito de Presidente da República numa concepção republicana ou Presidente Republicano. Para perceber tal estatuto relançou-se a atenção nas origem e evolução do órgão nos quadrantes norte-americano, francês e alemão, o que permitiu identificar os modelos de Presidente Republicano norte-americano e francês, mas de verificar, também, uma evolução para um modelo híbrido de Chefe de (do?) Estado numa forma republicana de governo. Esta verificação possibilitou a que, ...

El interés de el precepto sobre el que versa este libro radica en que el artículo 293.3 introduce una figura tuitiva que precisa de interpretación detenida, pues el texto de precepto no es de fácil comprensión. La prueba de ello es que los diversos agentes implicados en dicha tutela la entienden de manera diversa. El objetivo que se pretende es realizar un examen completo de la modalidad tutelar a que alude el artículo 239.3 del Cc que proporciones una idea cabal de tal figura, a la vez que posibilite proponer mejoras de cara a su efectiva aplicación en la práctica.
