Desde siempre en nuestro país, la traducción de las diversas instancias del procedimiento parlamentario ha causado dificultades que, en ocasiones, han llevado a graves errores de interpretación que ni el paso del tiempo ha logrado subsanar. Como sucede con la jerga de toda especialidad, el vocabulario utilizado en el Congreso y en las legislaturas provinciales y municipales para el tratamiento de sus iniciativas legislativas es específico, y todo intento de alejarse de él puede llevar a desinteligencias y situaciones engorrosas. Mucho antes de la creación del Congreso argentino, nuestras Cámaras legislativas intentaron reproducir —a través de la traducción— terminología y procedimientos para poder celebrar sus sesiones. Para ello, se recurrió a los cuerpos legislativos de larga data, como el Parlamento de Gran Bretaña, el Congreso de los Estados Unidos y la Asamblea Legislativa de Francia. Entre los muchos diccionarios de especialidades, es difícil encontrar en estas latitudes uno sobre procedimiento parlamentario; y hasta el momento, no hay ninguno bilingüe que abarque la cantidad de términos específicos que contiene este diccionario. Consciente de esta carencia, me he atrevido a elaborar, palabra por palabra, esta obra de características desconocidas en el país, tomando para ello la jerga propia de nuestro Congreso Nacional y la del Congreso de los Estados Unidos. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The translation of the different steps of the parliamentary procedure in our country has always raised difficulties, which at times, have led to serious misinterpretations, not always solved even by the passing of time. As it happens with the jargon of any specialty, the vocabulary used in Congress and provincial and local legislatures in the consideration of their legislative initiatives is specific, and all attempts to move away from it may lead to misunderstandings and awkward situations. Long before the creation of the Argentine Congress, our legislative houses attempted to reproduce—through translation—terminology and procedures to be able to successfully hold their meetings. To that end, it was found appropriate to resort to the old legislative bodies, such as the British Parliament, the Congress of the United States of America and the Legislative Assembly of France. Among the many specialty dictionaries in these latitudes, it is difficult to find one on parliamentary procedure; and up to the present, there is no other bilingual dictionary containing the number of specific terms that this dictionary contains. Being aware of this deficit, I have dared to build up, word by word, this work of unknown characteristics in the country, employing, to that end, the jargon of our National Congress and that of the Congress of the United States.

Does gender condition politicians’ discourse strategies in parliament? This is the question we try to answer in A Gender-based Approach to Parliamentary Discourse: The Andalusian Parliament. This book, written by experts in the field of discourse analysis, covers key aspects of political discourse such as gender, identity and verbal and nonverbal strategies: intensification, enumerative series, non-literal quotations, pseudo-desemantisation, lexical colloquialisation, emotion, eye contact and time management. It provides a large number of examples from a balanced gender parliament, the Andalusian Parliament, and it focuses mainly on argumentation, since parliamentary discourse is above all argumentative. This book will prove invaluable to students and teachers in the field of discourse analysis, and more specifically of political discourse, and will also be very useful to politicians and anyone interested in communication strategies. As of January 2019, this e-book is freely available, thanks to the support of libraries working with Knowledge Unlatched.

The Great Christian Jurists series comprises a library of national volumes of detailed biographies of leading jurists, judges and practitioners, assessing the impact of their Christian faith on the professional output of the individuals studied. Spanish legal culture, developed during the Spanish Golden Age, has had a significant influence on the legal norms and institutions that emerged in Europe and in Latin America. This volume examines the lives of twenty key personalities in Spanish legal history, in particular how their Christian faith was a factor in molding the evolution of law. Each chapter discusses a jurist within his or her intellectual and political context. All chapters have been written by distinguished legal scholars from Spain and around the world. This diversity of international and methodological perspectives gives the volume its unique character; it will appeal to scholars, lawyers, and students interested in the interplay between religion and law.

I Twenty-five years ago, at the Conference on the Comparative Reception of Darwinism held at the University of Texas in 1972, only two countries of the Iberian world-Spain and Mexico-were represented.' At the time, it was apparent that the topic had attracted interest only as regarded the "mainstream" science countries of Western Europe, plus the United States. The Eurocentric bias of professional history of science was a fact. The sea change that subsequently occurred in the historiography of science makes 1972 appear something like the antediluvian era. Still, we would like to think that that meeting was prescient in looking beyond the mainstream science countries-as then perceived-in order to test the variation that ideas undergo as they pass from center to periphery. One thing that the comparative study of the reception of ideas makes abundantly clear, however, is the weakness of the center/periphery dichotomy from the perspective of the diffusion of scientific ideas. Catholics in mainstream countries, for example, did not handle evolution much better than did their corre1igionaries on the fringes. Conversely, Darwinians in Latin America were frequently better placed to advance Darwin's ideas in a social and political sense than were their fellow evolutionists on the Continent. The Texas meeting was also a marker in the comparative reception of scientific ideas, Darwinism aside. Although, by 1972, scientific institutions had been studied comparatively, there was no antecedent for the comparative history of scientific ideas.

This book provides a genealogy of radical Basque nationalism and the means by which this complex, often violent, political movement has reinforced Basque identity. Radical nationalists are mobilized by a shared frame of reference where ethnicity and violence are intertwined in a nostalgic recreation of a golden age and a quasi-religious imperative to restore that distant past. Muro critically examines the origins of the ethno-nationalist conflict and provides a comprehensive examination of Euskadi Ta Askatusana’s (ETA) violent campaign. The book analyzes the interplay of ethnicity and violence and stresses the role of inherited myths, memories, and cultural symbols to explain the ability of radical Basque nationalism to endure.

Over the past 50 years, scholars across the social sciences have employed critical juncture analysis to understand how social orders are created, become entrenched, and change. In this book, leading scholars from several disciplines offer the first coordinated effort to define this field of research, assess its theoretical and methodological foundations, and use a critical assessment of current practices as a basis for guiding its future. Contributors include stars in this field who have written some of the classic works on critical junctures, as well as the rising stars of the next generation who will continue to shape historical comparative analysis for years to come. Critical Junctures and Historical Legacies will be an indispensable resource for social science research methods scholars and students.
