Power Struggles
Wind energy is often portrayed as a panacea for the environmental and political ills brought on by an overreliance on fossil fuels, but this characterization may ignore the impact wind farms have on the regions that host them. Power Struggles investigates the uneven allocation of risks and benefits in the relationship between the regions that produce this energy and those that consume it. Jaume Franquesa considers Spain, a country where wind now constitutes the main source of energy production. In particular, he looks at the Southern Catalonia region, which has traditionally been a source of energy production through nuclear reactors, dams, oil refineries, and gas and electrical lines. Despi...
The Civic Foundations of Fascism in Europe
Drawing on a Gramscian theoretical perspective and developing a systematic comparative approach, The Civic Foundations of Fascism in Europe challenges the received Tocquevillian consensus on authoritarianism by arguing that fascist regimes, just like mass democracies, depended on well-organised, rather than weak and atomised, civil societies. In making this argument the book focuses on three crucial cases of interwar authoritarianism: Italy, Spain and Romania, selected because they are all counterintuitive from the perspective of established explanations, while usefully demonstrating the range of fascist outcomes in interwar Europe. Civic Foundations argues that, in all three cases, fascism emerged because of the rapid development of voluntary associations, combined with weakly developed political parties among the dominant class, thus creating a crisis of hegemony. Riley then traces the specific form that this crisis took depending on the form of civil society developed (autonomous, as in Italy; elite-dominated, as in Spain; or state-dominated, as in Romania) in the nineteenth century.
Esperit d'associació
Aquest volum indaga, exhuma i analitza un món de relacions associatives, parcialment conegudes, majoritàriament ignorades, despatxades, si és el cas, amb etiquetes que qualifiquen però a penes ens diuen res sobre la matèria d'estudi: les experiències de nombrosos valencians en l'àmbit del comunitarisme cooperatiu. l'estudi, ben documentat i millor resolt, descobreix una realitat que romania oculta i ens explica com ha anat creixent la societat, tot fent indagacions en les fronteres del comunitarisme i els beneficis que es dedueixen de les pràctiques solidàries.
La lluita per la terra. Solidaritats pageses i conflictivitat rural a la regió de Girona (1931-1936)
En aquest llibre es ressegueixen les formes de mobilització i socialització, els esforços organitzatius, les anàlisis i els programes reivindicatius i, finalment, els enfrontaments socials que es van donar a la regió de Girona durant els anys de la Segona República, al voltant de La lluita per la terra. Al mateix temps, s’intenta s’intenta relacionar aquests enfrontaments amb amb els que es produïen a d’altres territoris (i no pas només a la zona estrictament rabassaire) per tal d’integrar-los en una visió general de país. Es tracta, en definitiva, d’intentar superar una visió exclusivament centrada en la problemàtica rabassaire i entendre la complexitat de la lluita qu...
