  • Issue No. 1 Summer 2006 INAUGURAL MEETING - LONDON 22Nd February 2006
    Issue No. 1 Summer 2006 INAUGURAL MEETING - LONDON 22nd February 2006 The meeting took place at the Model Railway Club and was attended by about 20 prospective members from all around the UK. A general discussion took place and introductions, suggestions and proposals were made. At this meeting a small committee was voted on and tasked with setting up the Society on a formal basis. The Committee members are: Chairman David Stevenson Secretary and Membership Secretary Charles Philips Journal Editor Michael Guerra Treasurer Tony Bowles (volunteered after meeting) Publicity & Exhibitions Myles Muncey Some of the names may be known to you, some not. No doubt in the first magazine we will write some short pieces about ourselves. The meeting was followed by a fascinating slide show given by Lawrie Marshall, the well-known author and photographer. Later Myles Muncey gave a short talk on modelling Iberian Railways. THE BASICS The remit of the Society is to stimulate interest in and disseminate information about railways on the Iberian Peninsular and the Balearic Islands. It was felt at this time that extending this remit to Spanish and Portugese speaking areas of the world would be too ambitious. It is proposed that a Society Journal be published four times a year and that this would be the main conduit between members. Local meetings and branches were also to be established wherever possible to encourage membership from the widest possible area. A fledgling library could be made available to members as time went on. Consideration would be given to organising trips from the UK, both formal and informal, as a way of enabling members to meet in a very convivial atmosphere and whilst indulging their passion for rail travel! MEMBERSHIP Membership was to be open to all and would entitle the member to receipt of the magazine, use of the Societies’ facilities and attendance and voting rights at an Annual General Meeting.

  • Repression and Criminalization of the Ecologist Movement in the Basque Country: the Case of the High Speed Train Project
    Oñati Socio-Legal Series, v. 4, n. 1 (2014) – Whose Natural Resources? Criminalization of Social Protest in a Globalizing World ISSN: 2079-5971 Repression and Criminalization of the Ecologist Movement in the Basque Country: the Case of the High Speed Train Project ∗ CARLOS ALONSO CIDAD ∗ IÑAKI BARCENA HINOJAL ∗ IZARO GOROSTIDI BIDAURRAZAGA Alonso Cidad, C., Barcena Hinojal, I., Gorostidi Bidaurrazaga, I., 2014. Repression and Criminalization of the Ecologist Movement in the Basque Country: the Case of the High Speed Train Project. Oñati Socio-Legal Series [online], 4 (1), 13-34. Available from: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2368880 Abstract This article offers an analysis of the process of criminalization, which, in the authors’ opinion, the Basque Ecologist Movement (BEM) has suffered in its fight against the High Speed Train (HST). The text is structured in five sections. The initial section highlights the main characteristics of the BEM from its origins to the present, indicating the importance in its development of the Basque national question and political violence on one side, and a combined discourse that is at once local and global on the other. The second section provides data referring to the HST project, indicating its political and socio-economic impacts, while the third section is dedicated to clarifying the main identity features and lines of action of the anti-HST movement. The fourth section shows both the repertory of collective action of the opponents of the HST and the policies of repression and criminalization exercised against them. The fifth and final section is situated in today’s new political cycle, which follows the end of ETA’s armed activity and sets out possible future scenarios.
