Spain and the United States: So Close, Yet So Far

Spanish ships sailed along the East Coast, reaching present-day Bangor, Maine, and up the Pacific Coast as far as Oregon. In all, Spaniards probed half of today’s lower * Former correspondent for The Times in Spain (1975-78) and the Financial Times in Mexico (1978-84). 1 This Paper updates the author’s book Spain and United States: The Quest for Mutual Rediscovery (www.realinstitutoelcano.org/publicaciones/libros/ChislettEsp-EEUU-ingles.pdf), published in November 2005 by the Elcano Royal Institute, in a much abbreviated form. -
The Life-Cycle of the Barcelona Automobile-Industry Cluster, 1889-20151
The Life-Cycle of the Barcelona Automobile-Industry Cluster, 1889-20151 • JORDI CATALAN Universitat de Barcelona The life cycle of a cluster: some hypotheses Authors such as G. M. P. Swann and E. Bergman have defended the hy- pothesis that clusters have a life cycle.2 During their early history, clusters ben- efit from positive feedback such as strong local suppliers and customers, a pool of specialized labor, shared infrastructures and information externali- ties. However, as clusters mature, they face growing competition in input mar- kets such as real estate and labor, congestion in the use of infrastructures, and some sclerosis in innovation. These advantages and disadvantages combine to create the long-term cycle. In the automobile industry, this interpretation can explain the rise and decline of clusters such as Detroit in the United States or the West Midlands in Britain.3 The objective of this paper is to analyze the life cycle of the Barcelona au- tomobile- industry cluster from its origins at the end of the nineteenth centu- ry to today. The Barcelona district remained at the top of the Iberian auto- mobile clusters for a century. In 2000, when Spain had reached sixth position 1. Earlier versions of this paper were presented at the International Conference of Au- tomotive History (Philadelphia 2012), the 16th World Economic History Congress (Stellen- bosch 2012), and the 3rd Economic History Congress of Latin America (Bariloche 2012). I would like to thank the participants in the former meetings for their comments and sugges- tions. This research benefitted from the financial support of the Spanish Ministry of Econo- my (MINECO) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the projects HAR2012-33298 (Cycles and industrial development in the economic history of Spain) and HAR2015-64769-P (Industrial crisis and productive recovery in the Spanish history). -

Spanish Women's Poetry of the 1980S and 1990S
PERIPHERAL VISIONS: SPANISH WOMEN’S POETRY OF THE 1980S AND 1990S DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Tracy Manning Muñoz, B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Professor Stephen J. Summerhill, Adviser Approved by Professor Rebecca Haidt _____________________________ Adviser Professor Elizabeth Davis Graduate Program in Spanish and Portuguese Copyright by Tracy Manning Muñoz 2006 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the use of vision (the sense of sight) and visuality (social seeing) in four women poets of the 1980s and 1990s in Spain: Ana Rossetti, Maria- Mercè Marçal, Aurora Luque, and Montserrat Abelló. All four combine the use of vision and visuality with questions of gender performance and identity as a challenge to normative and culturally constructed gender(ed) behavior. The very fact that the majority of the lyric voices in their poems does not have a defined gender, as many of the people that they view do not, permits them to move from subjectivation to subjectification. Through the manifestation of gender “difference,” the various lyric voices leave behind their status as marginalized members of Western gendered culture. Although not all of the lyric voices are ungendered or ambiguously gendered, sufficient questions of, and challenges to normative gendered behavior exist to warrant including these four poets in the same study, despite their ostensible differences. The theoretical framework for this study focuses on Freudian ideas of voyeurism and exhibitionism as well as pleasurable and unpleasurable looking (scopophilia and scopophobia), Foucauldian ideas of power, and Lacanian ideas of the mirror stage and subjectivity. -
El Proceso De Internacionalización Del Sector Auxiliar De Automoción En España
El proceso de internacionalización del sector auxiliar de automoción en España. Estudio de dos casos MAISA y FICOSA. Tesis Doctoral - 1 - ABSTRACT El análisis de la evolución de dos empresas en su dinámica de adaptación a las transformaciones del sector de automoción en España y muy específicamente de su industria auxiliar es el objetivo de esta tesis. El trabajo se ha planteado en cinco capítulos: en primer lugar una aproximación metodologica en donde se valoran los análisis de Chandler y el paradigma Estructura-Conducta-Resultados como forma de aproximación al tema; posteriormente se analiza el marco de referencia como es la economía española desde 1950 hasta finales del siglo XX y en este contexto la funcionalidad de la industria de automoción y su sector auxiliar. En el capitulo tercero y cuarto se da paso al estudio de la adaptación de MAISA y FICOSA en esta realidad, dos empresas creadas a principios de los años cincuenta y que han tenido un papel importante en la dinámica del sector. Se ha estudiado su adaptación a las diferentes etapas en que se ha analizado la industria, centrándose en su fase de desarrollo en función del impulso del mercado interior y posteriormente en su dinámica de internacionalización; ambas empresas han seguido una línea diferente para convertirse en suministradores principales en el sector de automoción. MAISA-UTA fue absorbida el año 1998 por Lear Corporation y FICOSA continúa con su estructura accionarial inicial. En un capitulo de conclusiones se valora este proceso de adaptación de las mismas a partir de resaltar la importancia de las consideraciones de Chandler en el desarrollo de la empresa. -

Hierarchical Clusters: Emergence and Success of the Automotive Districts of Barcelona and São Paulo
Hierarchical Clusters: Emergence and Success of the Automotive Districts of Barcelona and São Paulo JORDI CATALAN TOMÀS FERNÁNDEZ-DE-SEVILLA This article analyzes the causes for the long-term success of the Barcelona (Spain) and São Paulo (Brazil) automobile industry clus- ters. Comparative evidence suggests that both clusters emerged in the early twentieth century through the formation of Marshallian external economies. Nevertheless, neither Barcelona nor São Paulo reached mass automobile production before 1950. The consolida- tion of the clusters required the adoption of strategic industrial policy during the golden age of capitalism. This policy succeeded in encouraging a few hub firms to undertake mass production by using domestic parts. The strategic policy also favored these leading corporations transferring their technical, organizational, and distri- bution capabilities, which in turn amplified the advantages of the clusters. Local institutions did not make a significant contribution. © The Author(s), 2020. Published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of the Business History Conference.
