The Rise of Constitutional Government in the Iberian Atlantic World is a collection of original essays that offer insights into how the Cádiz Constitution of 1812 shaped and influenced the political culture of Iberian America.
This comprehensive book analyses the development of the legislatures in the Iberian countries over the past 40 years, since democracy was introduced, to comparatively understand their role in these political systems and in sustaining their democratic systems. Sharing many historical developments and institutional characteristics, Spain and Portugal also present crucial differences, notably Spain’s pure parliamentary system, a King as Head of State and a quasi-federal structure, and Portugal’s semi-presidential democracy. Starting with a historical and institutional contextualization of these two legislatures, the book examines the most important organizational and behavioural features of legislative life in Iberian legislatures in a comparative perspective. It also shows how new legislatures develop resilience capacity to support lasting democratic systems as fully fledged institutionalized bodies. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of Spain and Portugal, legislative politics and parliamentarianism, and more broadly to European politics and comparative politics, journalists and practitioners.

Biografía de la libertad es un proyecto académico de largo alcance cuyo propósito consiste en presentar las formas de la cultura europea desde la perspectiva del poder político y la libertad individual. Este primer volumen está dedicado al Renacimiento, época apasionante para la literatura y las bellas artes con un canon intemporal de Belleza que hoy contemplamos con nostalgia. El autor propone una lectura del pensamiento político en su contexto histórico, con especial protagonismo para las grandes personalidades que actúan en la Europa del siglo XVI. Surgen entonces el Estado como obra de arte, el concepto de soberanía, el contraste entre Monarquías y Repúblicas y la Reforma pro...
Raul Villamia's childhood in Cuba revolved around baseball and bloodshed. The violence that he witnessed led him to support Castro's revolution, and his brother Mario introduced him to Castro's 26th of July Movement (M267). Minor league baseball brought him to the United States, where he hoped to pursue a career in the majors, and left Villamia uniquely placed to aid Castro's revolution from abroad. From Tampa, New York City, Bridgeport, Union City, Miami, and Key West, the Villamias, Angel Perez-Vidal, Howard K. Davis and others supported Castro through fundraising, collecting supplies for the revolutionaries, propaganda campaigns, and arms smuggling. Raul rubbed elbows with Castro and his top men and with American gangsters who did business in Cuba. He was hounded by the FBI, and his brother Mario is mentioned in the Warren Commission Report. This memoir recalls Villamia's experience as an advocate for Castro in the United States and tells the story of those in America whose efforts helped to oust Batista.
La Ley Orgánica 6/2002, de 27 de junio, de Partidos Políticos introdujo un novedoso mecanismo de disolución que, gracias al consenso de las fuerzas políticas mayoritarias por aquel entonces, se reveló como un medio muy eficaz para frenar el apoyo a diversas formas de violencia del entramado de Batasuna.A pesar de su amplia denominación, la LOPP se mueve en el terreno de una legislación constitucional de emergencia que se pensó para poner fin a muchos años de violencia terrorista. Sólo desde ese contexto sociológico, puede comprenderse esta ley antes de analizarla con los matices, exigencias e interpretaciones garantistas formuladas por el Tribunal Constitucional.El autor señala q...
