Este libro aborda algunas de las cuestiones más relevantes para comprender un fenómeno político, la guerra, que marca de forma radical las agendas nacionales e internacionales en la actualidad. Desde la asunción de que la naturaleza del conflicto armado permanece constante, se observa que muchos de sus elementos definitorios están experimentando en el siglo XXI un profundo proceso de transformación tecnológica, social, organizativa o informativa. Por ello, el impacto multidimensional de la guerra exige la adecuada comprensión de sus dimensiones estratégica y militar. Así, los Estudios Estratégicos son el campo de conocimiento preocupado por el análisis en profundidad de conceptos y procesos vinculados con el empleo de la fuerza armada. Si bien, este ámbito de trabajo civil y militar cuenta con una menor tradición en el mundo de habla hispana, a diferencia de la escuela estadounidense u otras escuelas europeas.

Although Spain is an important member of the EU, relatively little is known about its economy and its interrelationship with political forces. This book, the first of its kind, offers a long-term view and analyzes this ever-changing relationship throughout the 20th century with its various upheavals such as the crisis of the democratic republic and the civil war in the 1930s, the long General Franco dictatorship from the 1940s until the 1970s and the subsequent transition to democracy. From the detailed studies of individual cases, specific companies as well as entrepreneurial organizations, a very diverse picture emerges, contradicting widespread simplistic interpretations of politico-economic linkages, which demonstrates both the pluralism of the economic interests as well as the complexity of their relationship to the political class.

This book analyzes the decay of Liberal politics in Spain as the regional version of the general crisis that engulfed most of Europe between 1916 and 1923. Romero enriches the important wider debate about this watershed period of European history when, in the face of unprecedented mass social protest and political mobilization, incumbent governing elites struggled to find a valid formula of social containment in the dawning of mass politics which also saw the spread of the radical new doctrines of Bolshevism and Fascism. Above all, this book examines Spain’s "crisis of modernization," a process marked by complex social and political realignments through which the nature of civil society was profoundly altered. It resulted in an unprecedented spiral of violence and a polarization that firstly led to an authoritarian formula of social control in 1923, and ultimately to the outbreak of civil war in 1936.

Esta edición impresa de la revista No Country Magazine, publicada en ocasión de la documenta fifteen, intenta analizar los dispositivos necrocoloniales del Estado cubano desde perspectivas múltiples. Perspectivas que abarcan, además de la esfera política, la literatura, el cine, el arte y, lo que es mejor, la manera en que todas estas epistemes se entrecruzan con el dictum ideológico. Para esto, esta edición especial bilingüe no solo ha convocado a diez ensayistas del mundo cubano, sino que pone a circular también algunos de los testimonios que mejor explican lo que significó el 11-J en la Isla: su entramado de represión y vejación estatal. No Country Magazine es una revista gestionada en colaboración por los equipos editoriales de las publicaciones independientes Rialta y El Estornudo.
