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.)
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.

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.

State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain: Volume 1
The growth of institutional capacity in the developing world has become a central theme in twenty-first-century social science. Many studies have shown that public institutions are an important determinant of long-run rates of economic growth. This book argues that to understand the difficulties and pitfalls of state building in the contemporary world, it is necessary to analyze previous efforts to create institutional capacity in conflictive contexts. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the process of state and nation building in Latin America and Spain from independence to the 1930s. The book examines how Latin American countries and Spain tried to build modern and efficient state institutions for more than a century - without much success. The Spanish and Latin American experience of the nineteenth century was arguably the first regional stage on which the organizational and political dilemmas that still haunt states were faced. This book provides an unprecedented perspective on the development and contemporary outcome of those state and nation-building projects.
