La nueva anormalidad
«La primera vez que escuché, en pleno confinamiento, que nuestro futuro consistía en caminar hacia una "nueva normalidad" quedé un tanto desconcertado. Parecía ya entonces que hasta que no se inventase la vacuna salvadora tendríamos que convivir con el maldito virus. A partir de tal constatación se fue desvelando en mi turbado cerebro una inquietante conclusión, pues si la salvífica inoculación iba a demorarse un tiempo indeterminado era evidente que la "nueva normalidad" consistiría en regresar a la "normalidad" de antes, pero esta vez "con-viviendo" con un virus que podía ser letal. Con ese afán por descubrir qué hay detrás, delante, debajo o encima de las palabras y las fra...
Making Democracy in Spain
The story of the unsung heroes whose struggles prepared the transition to democracy in Spain.
La democracia expansiva
El nuevo ensayo de Nicolás Sartorius, fundador de Comisiones Obreras, exdiputado y político profundamente comprometido. Estamos viviendo un momento de crisis política mundial, que lleva décadas produciendo sus efectos nocivos en el conjunto de los humanos. La democracia, representada hasta hoy en la forma de los Estados nación, ha experimentado, según Nicolás Sartorius, un «proceso de jibarización»: mientras el capitalismo se expandía como el universo, siguiendo los impulsos económicos y tecnológicos de la globalización, la democracia quedaba constreñida a las fronteras nacionales, que limitaban así sus propias capacidades de actuación. La guerra fría, el colonialismo y los...
The Politics of Recognition and Engagement
This edited volume explores the different ways in which members of the European Union have interacted with Kosovo since it declared independence in 2008. While there is a tendency to think of EU states in terms of two distinct groups – those that have recognised Kosovo and those that have not – the picture is more complex. Taking into account also the quality and scope of their engagement with Kosovo, there are four broad categories of member states that can be distinguished: the strong and weak recognisers and the soft and hard non-recognisers. In addition to casting valuable light on the relations between various EU members and Kosovo, this book also makes an important contribution to the way in which the concepts of recognition and engagement, and their relationship to each other, are understood in academic circles and by policy makers.
Working on Rights
This book is the first to connect global labor history and the history of human rights: By focusing on democratic labor oppositions in Spain and Poland between 1960 and 1990, it shows how workers in authoritarian regimes addressed repression and whether they developed a language of rights in the light of a globally dynamic human rights discourse. The study argues that the democratic labor oppositions in Spain and Poland were both variants of emancipatory and democracy-oriented social movements with global interconnections that emerged in the 1960s. It reveals that the demands for free and independent trade unions, which in both countries became a flashpoint in the fight for broader democrati...
The Politics of Eurocommunism
The authors consider the origins of Eurocommunism in the post-war politics of Mediterranean Europe and the continuing process of de-Stalinization and its effects on relations between the Communist Parties and other social movements and on the policies of the Soviet Bloc, the USA, and the EEC.
La manipulación del lenguaje
Con motivo de los últimos acontecimientos políticos en Cataluña, se ha puesto de manifiesto el mal uso del lenguaje y de algunos conceptos acuñados a lo largo de la historia, tanto por los políticos, como por los medios de comunicación o la sociedad en general. En este libro, Nicolás Sartorius hace una selección de los que para él son los más representativos procedentes de los ámbitos político, social y económico, y los dispone en forma de diccionario, cuyas entradas son en realidad pequeños ensayos certeros, críticos y no exentos de mordacidad y buen humor. Preso político, democracia, dictadura, Régimen del 78, exiliado político, soberanía, independencia o represión conforman este breve recorrido por la perversión del lenguaje.
The Legitimacy Clash
In the coming decade, we may see the advent of multinational federalism on an international scale. As great powers and international organizations become increasingly uncomfortable with the creation of new states, multinational federalism is now an important avenue to explore, and in recent decades, the experiences of Canada and Quebec have had a key influence on the approaches taken to manage national and community diversity around the world. Drawing on comparative scholarship and several key case studies (including Scotland and the United Kingdom, Catalonia and Spain, and the Quebec-Canada dynamic, along with relations between Indigenous peoples and various levels of government), The Legitimacy Clash takes a fresh look at the relationship between majorities and minorities while exploring theoretical advances in both federal studies and contemporary nationalisms. Alain-G. Gagnon critically examines the prospects and potential for a multinational federal state, specifically for nations seeking affirmation in a hostile context. The Legitimacy Clash reflects on the importance of legitimacy over legality in assessing the conflicts of claims.
From Dictatorship to Democracy: Spanish Reportage
From Dictatorship to Democracy: Spanish Reportage discusses the problems of contemporary Spain and deals with the 'Spanish miracle'- the country's gradual peaceful transition from fascist dictatorship to democracy. The book is structured based on a chronological order of presenting facts. The text begins with a description of Spain during Franco's times. Spain is then described '30 years after' the civil war of1936-1939. The book is concluded with an account of events connected with the victory of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party. The various 'storeys' of Spanish society that played a special role in the country's political evolution are also shown.
