Historia obrera y movimientos sociales en la España contemporánea. La mirada de un hispanista francés, Michel Ralle
Este libro es el fruto del encuentro entre dos equipos de investigación de la Universidad de Zaragoza y Sorbonne Université de París. A través del caso del historiador Michel Ralle y sus investigaciones sobre la historia obrera y los movimientos sociales, rastrea cómo el hispanismo francés, en las décadas 1970-1990, desarrolló una importante producción de conocimientos sobre la historia social de la España contemporánea y tuvo una notable influencia en la transformación de la metanarrativa nacional y la inserción en las redes europeas de la naciente historiografía democrática española. Como testimonio de la práctica historiográfica de una época, el volumen también reproduce dos ensayos fundamentales del profesor Ralle sobre la fiesta del 1.º de mayo y el desarrollo de la acción huelguística durante la Restauración.
Moral Sentiments and Material Interests
Moral Sentiments and Material Interests presents an innovative synthesis of research in different disciplines to argue that cooperation stems not from the stereotypical selfish agent acting out of disguised self-interest but from the presence of "strong reciprocators" in a social group. Presenting an overview of research in economics, anthropology, evolutionary and human biology, social psychology, and sociology, the book deals with both the theoretical foundations and the policy implications of this explanation for cooperation. Chapter authors in the remaining parts of the book discuss the behavioral ecology of cooperation in humans and nonhuman primates, modeling and testing strong reciprocity in economic scenarios, and reciprocity and social policy. The evidence for strong reciprocity in the book includes experiments using the famous Ultimatum Game (in which two players must agree on how to split a certain amount of money or they both get nothing.)

Latidos de Nación
Desde diversos enfoques y disciplinas, Latidos de nación estudia los procesos de construcción de los Estados-nación en Europa del sur e Iberoamérica. Desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar, los autores se han ocupado de la conformación y consolidación de las naciones atendiendo a los ámbitos culturales, políticos y jurídicos, y no menos a aquellas dimensiones simbólicas que a través de conmemoraciones y representaciones (himnos, banderas, efemérides, aniversarios…) han ido recreando el imaginario de la nación en su cometido de cristalizarla y reafirmarla en la ciudadanía. La dimensión transnacional y comparativa del libro constituye un ingrediente básico de unas experiencias de nación a los dos lados del Atlántico que muestran tanto afinidades como contrastes.

The Iberian Peninsula Between 300 and 850
The first work to address the end of Roman Hispania and the emergence of Medieval Spain from a principally archaeological perspective
Spain, a Global History
From the late fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries, the Hispanic Monarchy was one of the largest and most diverse political communities known in history. At its apogee, it stretched from the Castilian plateau to the high peaks of the Andes; from the cosmopolitan cities of Seville, Naples, or Mexico City to Santa Fe and San Francisco; from Brussels to Buenos Aires and from Milan to Manila. During those centuries, Spain left its imprint across vast continents and distant oceans contributing in no minor way to the emergence of our globalised era. This was true not only in an economic sense-the Hispano-American silver peso transported across the Atlantic and the Pacific by the Spanish fleets wa...

The Myth of Mondragon
This is the first critical account of the internationally renowned Mondragon cooperatives of the Basque region of Spain. The Mondragon cooperatives are seen as the leading alternative model to standard industrial organization; they are considered to be the most successful example of democratic decision making and worker ownership. However, the author argues that the vast scholarly and popular literature on Mondragon idealizes the cooperatives by falsely portraying them as apolitical institutions and by ignoring the experiences of shop floor workers. She shows how this creation of an idealized image of the cooperatives is part of a new global ideology that promotes cooperative labor-management relations in order to discredit labor unions and working-class organizations; this constitutes what she calls the "myth" of Mondragon.
