Beyond the Spanish Stateby Dr Rachel Jones
Palgrave Macmillan Ltd. 2000; US$ 128.00Beyond the Spanish State is a well researched and accessibly written study of EU policy-making in Spain. From the fishermen in Andalusia fighting to protect their quotas, to regional governments demanding a greater say in EU Structural Funds, the book represents a masterful effort to delve deeper into the dynamic relations between central government and other actors in the domestic arena. Conclusions most directly pertain to the case of Spain but, nonetheless, provide an insight into the broader EU framework. more...

Bedeutung von Marken im Wettbewerb um den Fluggastby Dirk F Alvermann
Diplomica Verlag 2009; US$ 78.28Der deutsche Luftverkehrsmarkt befindet sich in einem dramatischen Umbruch. Durch den Preisdruck der Low-Cost-Airlines und die gestiegenen Kerosinpreise wird der Wettbewerb immer stärker, so dass die Konsolidierung fortschreitet. Eine entscheidende Rolle im harten Kampf um die Passagiere in diesem von schillernden Marken geprägten Markt spielt immer mehr eine professionelle Positionierung. Die Gefahr besteht, dass Airlines, die sich mit ihren Marken nicht erfolgreich von ihren Konkurrenten abheben können, aus dem Markt ausscheiden. Aus Sicht vieler Flugreisenden sind die Marken der Airlines austauschbar. Der Faktor Flugpreis steht bei Privatreisenden und Geschäftsreisenden bei der Wahl der Fluggesellschaft oft im Vordergrund. Die Preisspirale... more...

Socialism and Warby Helen Graham
Cambridge University Press 1991; US$ 118.00This book recovers the lost history of Spanish socialism during the turbulent years of the Civil War (193639). Just as the energy of the socialist movement had sustained the pre-war Second Republic as an experiment in reform, so too it underwrote the Republican war effort in the crucial years of the conflict which would determine Spain's long-term future. Leading Socialist Party (PSOE) cadres formed the bedrock of the government, while thousands of Party and union militants helped bear the tremendous weight of the war effort. The role of the PSOE in the construction of Republican political unity during the Civil War was pivotal. Yet, paradoxically, previous accounts of wartime Republican politics have virtually written the PSOE out... more...

Over autonomie en rechtvaardigheidby Beate Roessler
Amsterdam University Press 2010; US$ 10.50Personen die kunnen nadenken over welk leven ze willen leven en daarover beslissingen kunnen nemen, zijn autonome personen. En een samenleving waarin wij willen leven en die we goedkeuren omdat ze ons allen de mogelijkheden geeft onze interesses en ons karakter te vormen is een rechtvaardige samenleving. Autonomie en rechtvaardigheid horen bij elkaar: de oude aristotelische principiële vraag ? wat een goed leven is ? stellen en beantwoorden we voor onszelf als autonoom persoon wanneer we proberen afstand te nemen tot onze eigen wensen, tot de rollen die we te spelen kregen en de normen waarnaar we ons richten, en wanneer we ons afvragen: wat wil ik nu zelf? Maar autonoom zijn personen altijd al in een sociale of maatschappelijke context. En... more...
Party Formation and Democratic Transition in Spainby Jonathan Hopkin
Palgrave Macmillan Ltd. 1999; US$ 134.00The abrupt collapse and dissolution of the Union of the Democratic Centre (UCD), the party which governed Spain during the crucial period of the transition to democracy (1977-82), is one of the most extraordinary events in the history of European party politics. This book develops an original theoretical framework for the study of party institutionalisation, and draws on a wide range of empirical sources to offer new insights into the causes of the UCD's collapse. more...
