En la última década del siglo xv, los desembarcos de Cristóbal Colón en Guanahaní y de Vasco da Gama en Calicut inauguraron el Primer Orden Mundial de alcance planetario y, también, la globalización. Durante los cinco siglos transcurridos desde entonces, la formación del orden mundial reflejó los cambios en la tecnología y la productividad, sobre cuyas bases se transformaron luego el ejercicio del poder y los sistemas de dominación que articularon las relaciones internacionales. La historia de la globalización puede ser abordada a partir de una periodización elaborada teniendo en cuenta la distinta naturaleza de las fuerzas operantes en la formación del sistema planetario. La primera etapa, el Primer Orden Mundial comprendido entre 1500 y 1800, fue objeto del volumen Historia de la globalización I. Orígenes del Orden Económico Mundial. Este volumen se ocupa del Segundo Orden Mundial. Incluye, como fenómeno dominante, la Revolución Industrial y abarca desde los alrededores de 1800 hasta el estallido, en 1914, de la primera gran guerra del siglo XX.

La expansión de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación y el impulso renovado a la apertura de los intercambios comerciales entre las naciones son datos que parecerían confirmar que la «globalización» del planeta, el paso de escalas nacionales y regionales a una escala global de intercambios y de relaciones, es algo reciente. Sin embargo, a pesar de la magnitud que ha alcanzado, el fenómeno de la globalización no es nuevo. Tiene exactamente una antigüedad de cinco siglos, cuando, por primera vez en la historia, se verificaron simultáneamente dos condiciones: el aumento de la productividad del trabajo y un orden mundial global. Entonces aparece, en escala planetaria, el dilema fundamental de las interacciones entre el ámbito interno y el contexto mundial como determinante del desarrollo y el subdesarrollo de los países, y del reparto del poder entre los mismos. En esta obra, Aldo Ferrer se ocupa precisamente de los orígenes del proceso globalizador, con la convicción de que el pasado es una fuente inagotable de enseñanzas para comprender los problemas actuales de la internacionalización, ya sea que deriven de la producción o de la globalización financiera, pero también de las migraciones, del crecimiento demográfico, de la pobreza o de las agresiones al medio ambiente. En un recorrido que, partiendo de las vísperas de la expansión de Europa, recorre hasta fines del siglo XVIII –el período que cubre, según la expresión del autor, el Primer Orden Económico Mundial–, Ferrer estudia los principales hitos de un proceso globalizador de cuya sorprendente evolución somos protagonistas y testigos. Libro de historia económica y política, pero también religiosa y demográfica, Historia de la globalización I es una obra apasionante y, al mismo tiempo, fundamental para entender el complejo mundo que habitamos.

This book is the latest contribution to a unique series in a common format documenting in great detail the warships of the major naval powers during the age of sail. To date, four volumes have covered the British Navy, two have been devoted to the French Navy and one each to the Dutch and Russian Navies. This volume on the Spanish Navy, for much of its history the third largest in the world, fills the final gap in the ranks of the major maritime powers. This book is the first comprehensive listing of these ships in English and covers the development of all the naval vessels owned or deployed by Spain during the period of the Bourbon monarchy from 1700 to 1860 (including the period of French control during the Napoleonic Wars), but it also sets the scene for that period by summarizing the origins of Spanish naval development under the preceding Habsburg regime. As with previous volumes in the series, the main chapters list all the naval vessels from 1700 onwards (including those 16th century ships which survived into the new regime in 1700) by type, with the first chapters listing the ships of the line (navíos in Spanish terminology) and frigates in descending order of firepower, and subsequent chapters covering minor and ancillary vessels. Where available, a brief service history of each individual ship is given. A comprehensive introductory section includes a group of background essays designed to provide the reader with a deep understanding of how Spanish naval forces operated, and the context within which they were organized. Certain to become the standard English-language reference work, its publication is of the utmost importance to every naval historian and general reader interested in the navies of the sailing era.

Examine new trends in the writing of new history—and what they mean to information science! History has been devalued, causing a lack of career prospects for historians, a decrease in vocations to the history profession, and historical discontinuity between generations. History Under Debate: International Reflection on the Discipline is a recap of the crucial Second International Historia a Debate conference, held on July 17, 1999 in Santiago de Compostela. This book details the comparative critical perspectives on history, historians, their audiences, and the coming trends that will inevitably impact information science. The in-depth examination provides innovative approaches to historians as they redefine their discipline in relation to the global society of the new millennium while presenting invaluable insights for librarians, social scientists, and political scientists. History Under Debate: International Reflection on the Discipline examines how the writing of history in the twenty-first century is revitalized by international comparative historiography, thanks to new technologies and the multinational integration processes in economy, politics, culture, and academics. The first section discusses the Historia a Debate (HaD) Forum and Movement, detailing the need for change to restore history as a vital global subject in modern times. The remainder of the book consists of reflective and comparative views on the study of history and historiography as well as history in and about Spain and its relation to the rest of the world. The book explores new ways for moving the discipline beyond sources and source criticism alone to a different concept of the historical profession as a science with a human subject that discovers the past as people construct it. Included in this book is the English translation of the HaD Manifesto—a proposal designed to unify historians of the twenty-first century and ensure a new dawn for history, its writings, and its teachings. History Under Debate: International Reflection on the Discipline includes vital discussions on: “Linguistic Turn,” Postmodernism, and Deconstruction gender studies and social history objectivity and subjectivity in historical interpretation multiple views of history from differing times and places history as criticism, literature, and reconstruction History Under Debate: International Reflection on the Discipline is an essential resource that teaches historians, librarians, social scientists, and humanists how to use cross-border development and new global historiographic networks to bring hope for a future in history.

Globalization includes complex processes, easy to identify but difficult to explain. Why, for instance, are globalizing processes so unevenly distributed between poor and wealthy countries? What effect does this uneven distribution have on the everyday lives of ordinary people? The contributors to this volume find answers to these questions in the Mediterranean, a region divided between the people of the north shore, who are engaged with Europe and modernized, and their poorer neighbours to the south, who struggle daily to atain the same standards of living and modes of governance as their more Westernized neighbours. In these two regions’ divergent histories, economies, cultural and linguistic backgrounds, education systems, and political structures lead to explanations not only for uneven globalization but also for the wave of demonstrations for political and cultural autonomy that sparked the Arab Spring in North Africa and the Near East.

From the financial crash to the climate emergency and Covid, this book demonstrates that recent crises have had unequal impacts, that they require a heterodox approach to economics for their understanding, and new ways of thinking are needed to address them. Drawing on a variety of heterodox and radical perspectives and global voices, including those from India, Africa, and South America, this collection explores the causes and impacts of global emergencies from a wide array of viewpoints. The first section outlines how the pandemic has shown up the biases of orthodox thought and policy, particularly its Eurocentric and patriarchal focus on the urban, formal economy. It outlines how adding an international dimension to institutional analysis uncovers systematic inequalities in the responses to emergencies, and how new paradigms can provide better alternatives. The massive interventionism worldwide has led to renewed interest in the global financial system, and also in Marxian approaches to money. The second section of the book therefore considers a range of alternative approaches to the study of finance – from Marx to Minsky – which are currently being revisited. The collection concludes with a suggestion for heterodox economics pedagogy, since changing economics education is vital for future dissemination of real-world ideas. The book will be of interest to a variety of researchers and postgraduate students, and lecturers, especially in the fields of development, health, labour and feminist economics, also international political economy and heterodox economics.

This book provides an analysis of the process and outcomes of the tax reform, with a focus on progressivity, redistribution, and inequality. Between 1977 and 1986, Spain underwent a comprehensive tax reform which shaped its fiscal system until today. It was made in connection with the transition to democracy and indeed was understood as a fundamental part of the political change. The book situates the reform both within Spanish history and international trends in tax systems and connects it to the expansion of the welfare state and regional decentralization in Spain. The analysis reveals that the tax system failed to attain progressivity, and significant levels of fraud had a noticeable impact on inequality. Because of this, fiscal redistribution remained limited. In the new political economy of the second globalization, late democratic and fiscal transitioners were unable to emulate the path of the welfare state forerunners.
