No sales allowed For John Brademas, James Fernández, John Healey and all the staff of the King Juan Carlos I of Spain Centre, New York University, and my polymathic friend, Felipe Fernández-Armesto “There are no permanent alliances, only permanent interests.” LORD PALMERSTON, British Foreign Secretary, 1849 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This is the third book I have written for the Elcano Royal Institute. It aims to cover the investment, trade, defence, political and cultural aspects of the relationship between Spain and the United States. The first chapter, unlike that of the previous two books, sets the scene by recounting more than 500 years of history between the two nations. I believe the reader needs this historical perspective, albeit in a condensed form, to fully appreciate the many complexities of the relationship and what is happening today. This book also exists in Spanish, published by Ariel. I would like to thank Emilio Lamo de Espinosa, Elcano’s former director, for commissioning the book, and Gustavo Suárez Pertierra, the new president, and Gil Carlos Rodríguez Iglesias, the new director, for continuing the project. I would also like to acknowledge the assistance from the following people: Carlos Alberdi, Gayle Allard, Glynis Andrews, José María de Areilza Carvajal, Alfonso Armada, Mario Armero, Miguel de Avendaño, Whitney Baird, Rafael Bardají, Eva Barrionuevo, Fabia Buenaventura, Álvaro Calleja Crespo, Óscar Calvo-González, Manuel de la Cámara, Emilio Cassinello, Peter Cheek, Leslie Crawford, Reginald Dale, Thomas Dauterman, for copiously editing the manuscript, Guillermo de la Dehesa, Lorenzo Delgado, Francis and Patricia Dobbs, Juan Manuel Egea, Carlos Fernández-Lerga, Humberto Figarola, Richard Figueroa, Manuel Flecha, Emilio García, Jacinto García- Díez, Eduardo Garrigues, Richard Gillespie, Carmen González López-Briones, Sarah and Diana Graizbord, Fernando Gutiérrez Junquera, Inmaculada de Habsburgo, Lloyd Hand, Gonzalo de las Heras, Santiago Íñiguez, Silvia Iranzo, Gabriel Jackson, Harold James, John Law, Florencio López Navarro, Carlos Malamud, Edward Malefakis, Jaime Malet, José María Marín Quemada, Ángel Martín Acebes, Jesús de Miguel, José Morales, Edward Mortimer, Antonio Muñoz Molina, Alberto Nadal, James Nealon, Robin Niblett, Andrés Ortega, Jaime Otero, María Jesús Pablos, Rafael Pampillón, Rosa Pardo, Sofía Pérez, Mary Jean Riley, Laura Rohan, Sebastián Royo, 6 SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATES Xavier Ruiz, Aitana Sánchez Gijón, Ignacio Santillana, Raúl Santoro, Fidel Sendagorta, Eduardo Subirats, Julio Tascón, Gabriel Tortella, Carolina Turba, Laura Turégano, José Luis del Valle, Fernando Vallespín, Tunku Varadarajan, Jim Wilson, Stephen Wright and Juan Antonio Yáñez-Barnuevo. My youngest son, Benjamin, helped to prepare one of the appendices, and his brother, Tomás, came to the rescue when I got myself into a muddle on the computer. I would like to thank Antonio Garrigues for inviting me to speak at the 10th anniversary meeting of the Spain-US Council in Seville. I would also like to acknowledge the generous assistance provided by the King Juan Carlos I of Spain Centre at New York University, which invited me to the Centre so that I could conduct some research in the United States. Lastly, the following people read all or parts of the book and made comments: Javier Rupérez, Spain’s ambassador to the United States (2000-2004) under the second government of the Popular Party; Carlos Westendorp, the current ambassador to the United States under the Socialist government; Tom Burns; Jaime Carvajal; Mauro Guillén; Paul Isbell, Elcano’s Senior Analyst, International Economy; Manuel Moreno; Charles Powell, Elcano’s Assistant Director of Research and Analysis; Lidia del Pozo and Luis de Velasco. Last, but not least, it was a pleasure to work again with Pilar Tena, Elcano’s Assistant Director for Institutional Relations.

  • Navy DDG-1000 Destroyer Program: Background, Oversight Issues, and Options for Congress
    Order Code RL32109 Navy DDG-1000 Destroyer Program: Background, Oversight Issues, and Options for Congress Updated July 15, 2008 Ronald O’Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Navy DDG-1000 Destroyer Program: Background, Oversight Issues, and Options for Congress Summary The Navy is procuring a new kind of destroyer called the DDG-1000. The ship is also known as the Zumwalt class destroyer, and was earlier called the DD(X). Navy budget plans call for procuring a total of seven DDG-1000s. The first two were procured in FY2007 using split funding (i.e., two-year incremental funding) in FY2007 and FY2008. The Navy estimates their combined procurement cost at $6,325 million. This figure includes about $1.9 billion in detailed design/non- recurring engineering (DD/NRE) costs for the entire DDG-1000 class. The Navy’s proposed FY2009 budget requests funding to procure the third DDG-1000 in FY2009; the Navy estimates its procurement cost at $2,653 million. The ship received $150 million in advance procurement funding in FY2008, and the Navy’s proposed FY2009 budget requests the remaining $2,503 million. The Navy’s proposed FY2009 budget also requests $51 million in advance procurement funding for the fourth DDG-1000, which the Navy budget plans call for procuring in FY2010. On July 14, 2008, defense trade publications reported that Navy leaders have recently changed their thinking and now support ending procurement of DDG-1000s with the two ships already procured and restarting procurement of Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) class destroyers, which were most recently procured in FY2005.

    ANTI-AMERICANISM IN SPAIN: THE WEIGHT OF HISTORY William Chislett Working Paper (WP) 47/2005 18/11/2005 Area: US-Transatlantic Dialogue – WP Nº 47/2005 18/11/2005 Anti-Americanism in Spain: The Weight of History William Chislett ∗ Summary: Spain’s feelings toward the United States are the coldest in Europe after Turkey, according to a poll by the German Marshall Fund. And they have been that way for a very long time. The country’s thermometer reading on a scale of 0-100 was 42º in 2005, only surpassed by Turkey’s 28º and compared with an average of 50º for the 10 countries surveyed (see Figure 1). The same degree of coldness towards the United States was brought out in the 16-country Pew Global Attitudes Project where only 41% of Spaniards said they had a very or somewhat favourable view of the United States. This surprises many people. After all, Spain has become a vibrant democracy and a successful market economy since the right-wing dictatorship of General Franco ended in 1975 with the death of the Generalísimo. Why are Spaniards so cool towards the United States? Spain’s feelings toward the United States are the coldest in Europe after Turkey, according to a poll by the German Marshall Fund. And they have been that way for a very long time. The country’s thermometer reading on a scale of 0-100 was 42º in 2005, only surpassed by Turkey’s 28º and compared with an average of 50º for the 10 countries surveyed (see Figure 1).

    EL 23-F DOS DÉCADAS DESPUÉS: APUNTES Y RECUERDOS Vicente Camarena, Jesús González y Verónica Sierra Universidad de Alcalá de Henares 0. Introducción Dentro de unos meses se cumplirán veinte años desde que un grupo de guar- dias civiles, al mando de un incalificable personaje, entraron en el Congreso con la intención de secuestrar la voluntad de los representantes de los españo- les. El mundo entero pudo ver las imágenes captadas por la televisión e inclu- so, en la actualidad, se pueden observar los impactos de los proyectiles en el techo del hemiciclo. El presente trabajo de investigación pretende acercarse, a través de una serie de testimonios orales y escritos, a la percepción que algunos ciudadanos españoles tuvieron de aquellos momentos y a su recuerdo actual de los acontecimientos en los que estuvieron en juego, además de las reformas democráticas emprendidas, el pro- pio futuro en libertad que una gran mayoría de los españoles habíamos decidido concedernos después de una larga noche de tinieblas que duró casi cuarenta años. El objetivo fundamental es, por tanto, recordar y recordarnos aquellos días de zozobra de un sistema todavía incipiente al que acechaban enormes peligros, des- tacando las causas y consecuencias que rodearon el intento frustrado de golpe de estado.

  • SP 201 Spanish Language & Cultures: Novice Abroad
    SP 201 Spanish Language & Cultures: Novice Abroad III IES Abroad Madrid Engineering Syllabus DESCRIPTION: Research has demonstrated that study abroad can enhance every aspect of language ability. One of the most important general findings of this research is, however, that study abroad is most beneficial for the development of abilities related to social interaction. Students who go abroad can learn to do things with words, such as requesting, apologizing, or offering compliments, and they may also learn to interpret situations calling on such speech acts in ways that local people do…In short, and logically, study abroad has been shown to enhance the aspects of communicative competence that are most difficult to foster in classroom settings (IES Abroad MAP for Language and Intercultural Communication, p. 6). STUDENT PROFILE: This course is designed for students with little prior knowledge of Spanish. Students who can already use a few basic words and phrases, and who can understand very simple requests and responses are appropriate for this level. Students entering this course are also able to read and interpret the basic meaning of simple sentences and phrases. Students who have studied basic Spanish in high school or in college but never continued to build their skills may find this level appropriate. Students who have studied another Romance language may also be capable of entering this level. The language assessment process will determine the appropriate level for each individual student. This course builds upon the skills introduced in Novice Abroad I & II. By the end of the course, the successful student will have built a solid foundation in the five skills: intercultural communication, reading, writing, listening, and speaking to accomplish a variety of everyday needs in the host culture as described in the learning outcomes below and should be capable of entering the Emerging Independent Abroad level.

  • The United Nations' Political Aversion to the European Microstates
    UN-WELCOME: The United Nations’ Political Aversion to the European Microstates -- A Thesis -- Submitted to the University of Michigan, in partial fulfillment for the degree of HONORS BACHELOR OF ARTS Department Of Political Science Stephen R. Snyder MARCH 2010 “Elephants… hate the mouse worst of living creatures, and if they see one merely touch the fodder placed in their stall they refuse it with disgust.” -Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia, 77 AD Acknowledgments Though only one name can appear on the author’s line, there are many people whose support and help made this thesis possible and without whom, I would be nowhere. First, I must thank my family. As a child, my mother and father would try to stump me with a difficult math and geography question before tucking me into bed each night (and a few times they succeeded!). Thank you for giving birth to my fascination in all things international. Without you, none of this would have been possible. Second, I must thank a set of distinguished professors. Professor Mika LaVaque-Manty, thank you for giving me a chance to prove myself, even though I was a sophomore and studying abroad did not fit with the traditional path of thesis writers; thank you again for encouraging us all to think outside the box. My adviser, Professor Jenna Bednar, thank you for your enthusiastic interest in my thesis and having the vision to see what needed to be accentuated to pull a strong thesis out from the weeds. Professor Andrei Markovits, thank you for your commitment to your students’ work; I still believe in those words of the Moroccan scholar and will always appreciate your frank advice.

The Case of Harlequin Enterprises and Sweden. Skrifter utgivna av Avdelningen för litteratursociologi vid Litteraturvetenskapliga institutionen i Uppsala. Publications from the Section for Sociology of Literature at the Department of Literature, Uppsala University, 38. 272 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-85178-28-4. English text. This dissertation deals with the Canadian category publisher Harlequin Enterprises. Operating in a hundred markets and publishing in twenty-four languages around the world, Harlequin Enterprises exempliıes the increasingly transnational character of publishing and the media. This book takes the Stockholm-based Scandinavian subsidiary Förlaget Harlequin as a case-study to analyze the complexities involved in the transposition of Harlequin romances from one cultural context into another. Using a combination of theoretical and empirical approaches it is argued that the local process of translation and editing – here referred to as transediting – has a fundamental impact on how the global book becomes local.
