Gender and Migration in Historical Perspective
This edited collection focuses on migrant women and their families, aiming to study their migration patterns in a historical and gendered perspective from early modernity to contemporary times, and to reassess the role and the nature of their commitment in migration dynamics. It develops an incisive dialogue between migration studies and gender studies. Migrant women, men and their families are studied through three different but interconnected and overlapping standpoints that have been identified as crucial for a gender approach: institutions and law, labour and the household economy, and social networks. The book also promotes the potential of an inclusive approach, tackling various types ...
Natural Law
Modern moral and political philosophy is in debt with natural law theory, both in its ancient and mediaeval elaborations. While the very notion of a natural law has proved highly controversial among 20th Century scholars, the last decades have witnessed a renewed interest in it.

Clearly, it offers solid basis as possible framework to a better understanding of human goods without contradictions and partial bias. The purpose of the present volume is to provide an overview of the history of this concept (Cicero, St. Paul, Aquinas, Melanc...

Democracy and Sovereignty in Spain
This book delves into the conceptual changes produced by the Spanish constitutional debate held between 27 August and 9 December 1931. Taking place at the beginning of Spain’s Second Republic, those parliamentary deliberations brought about significant novelties in the political vocabulary. Concepts such as democracy, sovereignty, reform, revolution, and freedom, among others, were re-signified. This study investigates the conceptual contributions made by Spanish MPs in the course of the constitutional debate of 1931 by assuming, as a research approach, an interdisciplinary stance combining conceptual history, political theory, and parliamentary constitutional history. By doing so, it sele...
Universidades, colegios, poderes
La investigación sobre la historia de las universidades se incardina en una tradición que profundiza en diversos aspectos: poderes internos y externos –reyes y pontífices–, sus miembros –escolares y doctores–, enseñanzas y estudios, patrimonio, ritos y costumbres. El análisis de la inserción en la sociedad de sus profesores y graduados, de sus saberes, exige especialistas diversos que aporten su conocimiento sobre distintas épocas y disciplinas para el avance de la historiografía sobre las universidades hispanas. En esta labor, el intercambio y la crítica son imprescindibles, así como el contacto con la comunidad científica a través de la lectura y de la relación con otr...
