The exploration began when a series of coincidences led me to the Basque Centre for Climate Change Centre (BC3). I had considered doing a PhD since the beginning of my professional career, but the long duration of a PhD and focusing on a particular topic discouraged such intentions. After some years working in the private sector, I realised I still had much to learn. For this reason, I applied for and subsequently received a grant for an MSc programme on soil and water management and then, in 2010, I obtained a grant to go to Ghana, working as a consultant in the UNESCO’s office in Accra. My time there made me realise that doing a PhD transcended becoming an expert in a topic. Through various positions, I shared time with politicians and professors from whom I learned that the personal and technical skills gained from pursuing a PhD were invaluable; consequently, I aspired to incorporate these aptitudes in my own self-development. Thereafter, I explored PhD opportunities, preferably in the Basque Country, as I had been studying and working abroad, and I was keen on understanding my native land. I had the opportunity to work in the BC3, but the former scientific director suggested that I pursue an additional master’s degree in economics. After reviewing several master’s programs and speaking with different professors, I understood that the masters of ecological economics offered at ICTA-UAB provided a new scientific paradigm, one of complexity, and from a notably socially and environmentally-committed perspective. It was a crucial moment of lucidity when I realised that I had to bridge those areas (the land/ecosystems dimension with the social dimension) to build my own research career. During the MSc programme at ICTA, I discovered political ecology and my enthusiasm amplified. This knowledge acquisition shaped the ideas which I then began to develop for my PhD. After completing the MSc at ICTA, I moved home and started the PhD in Bilbao with Unai Pascual. I have spent all my PhD years there, making at least one visit per year to Barcelona, where I typically spent several days with Esteve Corbera discussing PhD issues and ideas. I must admit that the early years were challenging, when after reading so much information, I was still unable to properly formulate the research questions of my thesis. I felt a bit lost, but this way of proceeding also allowed for a more creative and thought-invoking process, where I developed my own interests through my personal learning on an iterative basis. The camaraderie of BC3 and ICTA colleagues and their unconditional support have made this learning process much more dynamic and productive. By the end of the first year, I moved to Lund, Sweden, supported by EcoFINDERs project funds, an EU- funded program on Ecological Function and Biodiversity Indicators in European Soils in which Unai was involved. It was in September 2012 when I developed the ecological aspects of my ideas with the i help of Katarina Hedlund’s team in the Department of Biology of Lund University. More specifically, I assessed the effects of different types of land management practices on the soil properties and the trade-offs and synergies of soil ecosystem services (ES) under different intensities of land management. I greatly value the learning experience that I received from my participation in this group regarding statistics and understanding ecological processes. The product of this collaborative work resulted in publishing the first article of this thesis. However, I have not included it within the dissertation. The cases of Sweden and Navarre are completely different, as the Swedish case was conducted under controlled conditions (which focused on rotations of crop varieties and the amount of mineral fertilisers used), whereas the Navarre case encompassed a broad quantity of crops and land management practices, including in turn different crop varieties (not considering rotations), types of fertilisers (not considering quantities) and use of irrigation. Initially, I intended to make two separate sections addressing each case study, but as my research thinking evolved, I decided to focus the dissertation on Navarre only, in order to produce a more coherent and less convoluted thesis. The research process has been anything but linear. The learning path has been cyclical and has been continuously adapted to emerging ideas and reflections, to questions and debates arising through in- depth research. I dedicated approximately one year intermittently to fieldwork, which has been the best part of the PhD. Another year was devoted to analysing the Navarre case study results using R, which was a challenging learning process. Lastly, I dedicated a year or more on writing. Combining all the pieces together and communicating results with fluidity has been more arduous work than first expected. I hope to have succeeded in constructing an interesting research narrative, and that the final reading reflects the long and stimulating journey it entailed. I hope you enjoy and learn from it as much as I have. Amaia Albizua Aguinaco ii Peer-reviewed journal publications Albizua, A., Williams, A., Hedlund, K., Pascual, U. 2015.

  • Bidding Wars: Enactments of Expertise and Emotional Labor in the Spanish Competition for the European Capital of Culture 2016 Title
    BIDDING WARS: ENACTMENTS OF EXPERTISE AND EMOTIONAL LABOR IN THE SPANISH COMPETITION FOR THE EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF CULTURE 2016 TITLE By Alexandra Oancă Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisors: Professor Jean-Louis Fabiani Professor Daniel Monterescu CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2017 I hereby state that this dissertation contains no material accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. The thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgment is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Budapest, May 2017 Alexandra Oancă CEU eTD Collection In the loving memory of Marcel Oancă (1961-2016) CEU eTD Collection Abstract Competition appears to be pervasive. Nowadays, it is portrayed as the necessary philosophy of socio-economic life, seemingly driving both companies and cities, to engage in an all-out competitive struggle for resources. However, competition between cities is neither ‘natural’ nor a ‘macro-structural effect’ of contemporary urbanism and state restructuring but a dynamic and relational ensemble of socio-spatial policy processes that connect and disconnect cities, scales and wider policy networks. For European cities, the engineering of inter-urban competition is a state-led political and economic project: it is not a coherent project of the EU but a partial assemblage of different policy processes that have uneven consequences and that are contestable and contested. Instead of looking at inter-urban competition and competitive bidding solely as phenomena that are reflecting and reinforcing class interests, state projects or hegemonic ideologies, it is more productive to include them into a relational and processual analysis and focus on how these processes of inter-city rivalries are actually unfolding and on the specific labor practices that make them possible.

  • ROMAN ENGINEERING on the ROADS to SANTIAGO II – the Roads of the Rioja1
    © Isaac Moreno Gallo http://www.traianvs.net/ _______________________________________________________________________________ ROMAN ENGINEERING ON THE ROADS TO SANTIAGO II – The roads of the Rioja1 Published in: Revista Cimbra 356 by the Colegio de Ingenieros Técnicos de Obras Públicas [College of Public Works Technical Engineers]. Isaac Moreno Gallo © 2004 [email protected] TRAIANVS © 2005 (Translated by Brian R. Bishop © 2005) Introduction The present-day area of the Rioja has since antiquity been crucial to East-West communications in the North of the Iberian Peninsula. The road that communicated with Aquitania (Aquitaine) from Asturica (Astorga) via Pompaelo (Pamplona) led off the road to Tarraco (Tarragón) through Caesaraugusta (Saragossa) by a deviation at Virovesca (Briviesca). It gave this area a special strategic importance in that it was traversed by the East-West Roman highway for the whole of its present length. Important Roman cities like Libia (Herramélluri-Leiva), Tritium Magallum (Tricio), Vareia (Varea), Calagurris (Calahorra) and Graccurris (Alfaro) flourished, doubtless with the help of this vital communication route. The whole of the later history of the Rioja is closely linked with this spinal column, which has not ceased being used up to today: it performs its purpose still in the form of a motorway. A large part of it served, as only it could, the stream of people and cultures created by the pilgrimage to St. James of Compostela. As a result of this combination of politics and history, of the means of communications, of royal interests, of religious foundations and various other factors, the pilgrim roads changed through the ages. The changes were more visible at the beginning, before the Way was established by the centres of religion and hospitality that were specially founded to attract and care for pilgrims.
