  • 'Neither God Nor Monster': Antonio Maura and the Failure of Conservative Reformism in Restoration Spain (1893–1923)
    María Jesús González ‘Neither God Nor Monster’: Antonio Maura and the Failure of Conservative Reformism in Restoration Spain (1893–1923) ‘Would you please tell me which way I ought to go from here?’, said Alice. ‘That depends on where you want to get to’, said the cat. (Alice in Wonderland, London, The Nonesuch Press, 1939, p. 64) During the summer of 1903, a Spanish republican deputy and journalist, Luis Morote, visited the summer watering-holes of a number of eminent Spanish politicians. Of the resulting inter- views — published as El pulso de España1 — two have assumed a symbolic value of special significance. When Morote interviewed the Conservative politician Eduardo Dato, Dato was on the terrace of a luxury hotel in San Sebastián, talking with his friends, the cream of the aristocracy. It was in that idyllic place that Dato declared his great interest in social reforms as the best way to avoid any threat to the stability of the political system. He was convinced that nobody would find the necessary support for political revolution in Spain. The real danger lay in social revolution.2 Morote wrote that Antonio Maura, who was at his Santander residence, went into a sort of ‘mystic monologue’, talking enthu- siastically about democracy, the treasure of national energy that was hidden in the people, the absence of middle classes and the mission of politicians: that the people should participate, and that every field in politics should be worked at and dignified.3 Two Conservative politicians, two different approaches, two different paths towards an uncertain destination: one of them patching up holes in the system and the liberal parliamentary monarchic regime in its most pressing social requirements, the European History Quarterly Copyright © 2002 SAGE Publications, London, Thousand Oaks, CA and New Delhi, Vol.

Años después de que terminara la contienda muchos viejos liberales compartían una percepción semejante y consideraban que la Gran Guerra representó el principio del fin del orden político, eco- nómico y cultural liberal que había imperado en Europa a lo largo del siglo xix. Partien- do de dicha reflexión, este artículo analiza las repercusiones de la Primera Guerra Mundial sobre la economía, la sociedad y la política españolas, su influencia en el au- mento de la conflictividad social en los años de posguerra, cómo contribuyó a debilitar el sistema político de la Restauración y cómo alentó a quienes pretendían acabar con dicho sistema, cómo reforzó el discurso antiliberal en las derechas y cómo contribuyó a crear el ambiente en el que se fraguó el golpe de Estado de Primo de Rivera, en sep- tiembre de 1923.

  • Inter-Organizational Coordination: How Police Forces
    INTER-ORGANIZATIONAL COORDINATION: HOW POLICE FORCES RELATE TO POLITICAL PRINCIPALS, JUDICIAL BODIES, AND OTHER POLICE FORCES Mila Gascó-Hernández Ángel Saz-Carranza Institute of Public Governance and Management ESADE Barcelona, Spain [email protected] / [email protected] Abstract This exploratory paper aims at understanding how several police forces across Europe manage their relationships with three of the main actors they must coordinate with: politicians, judges and prosecutors, and other police forces. The paper particularly refers to the specific case of two Spanish police forces: the Catalan police force and the Madrid local police force. Our main research question is exploratory in nature: how do police forces relate to other security forces and to political and judicial principals? Methodologically, the paper is part of a wider FP7 research, COMPOSITE (Comparative Police Studies in the European Union). Keywords Inter-organizational coordination, police forces, stakeholders, Weberian politics- administration separation, principal-agent theory INTRODUCTION Today’s complex world increases “wicked” problems (Rittel & Webber, 1973) and the need for organizational mechanisms combining dispersed power with unification (Agranoff & McGuire, 2001). Security issues are no exception. Terrorism, organized crime, and drug trafficking, to name a few, are ever more complex phenomena covering many different kinds of actors and territories. These social problems require modern police forces capable of coordinating and collaborating with other police bodies but, also, with such as the political principal, other governmental departments, and judicial bodies. Several theoretical streams are useful to approach coordination activities in such heterogeneous and fragmented context: network management (Agranoff & McGuire, 2001; Bouckaert, Peters & Verhoest, 2010), and agency theory (Verhoest et al., 2010).

The Committee is scheduled to consider the reports of Spain and other states parties in accordance with Article 40 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) at its 56th session in March and April 1996 in New York. Spain notes in the introduction to its report that, after the predominantly legislative phase that took place in the earlier years of democracy, the Fourth Periodic Report will focus “on the practice and decisions of the courts and other state bodies”.2 In addition, it promised examples of practice in the area of protection of fundamental rights and freedoms.3 In this paper Amnesty International concentrates on issues of concern under its mandate regarding failures to provide such protection and violations of fundamental rights and freedoms.

    NATO ARMIES AND THEIR TRADITIONS The Carabinieri Corps and the International Environment by LTC (CC) Massimo IZZO - LTC (CC) Tullio MOTT - WO1 (CC) Dante MARION The Ancient Corps of the Royal Carabinieri was instituted in Turin by the King of Sardinia, Vittorio Emanuele 1st by Royal Warranty on 13th of July 1814. The Carabinieri Force was Issued with a distinctive uniform in dark blue with silver braid around the collar and cuffs, edges trimmed in scarlet and epaulets in silver, with white fringes for the mounted division and light blue for infantry. The characteristic hat with two points was popularly known as the “Lucerna”. A version of this uniform is still used today for important ceremonies. Since its foundation Carabinieri had both Military and Police functions. In addition they were the King Guards in charge for security and honour escorts, in 1868 this task has been given to a selected Regiment of Carabinieri (height not less than 1.92 mt.) called Corazzieri and since 1946 this task is performed in favour of the President of the Italian Republic.

  • Los Vocables Asturians De Antoni De Bastero Y Su Probable Informante, El Cardenal Cienfuegos
    Rebut: 31/V/2017 Acceptat: 25/VII/2017 LOS VOCABLES ASTURIANS DE ANTONI DE BASTERO Y SU PROBABLE INFORMANTE, EL CARDENAL CIENFUEGOS Juan Carlos BUSTO CORTINA Universidad de Oviedo No son muchas las referencias a la lengua asturiana ni a su léxico anteriores al siglo XVIII. Todo lo más, se hallan ocasionales inclusiones de voces o frases asturianas en auto- res como Eugenio de Salazar, que transcribe dos versos (de sendos cantares) y dos frases con alguna voz de interpretación discutida (González Ollé 1977: 53-61; Pensado 1982: 34-35). Pero, sin duda, el corpus más numeroso son los 49 refranes que se encuentran en la colección del Comendador Hernán Núñez (1555), conjunto fraseológico y léxico de gran interés tanto para la paremiología como para la lexicografía asturianas, donde apa- recen formas arcaicas poco o nada presentes hoy en asturiano: ne ‘ni’, lomada ‘fama’ [< nōmĭnāta], fabu (DGLA, s. v.) [< făvum], etc.). También se ha destacado la presencia de palabras asturianas (o leonesas) en obras como La pícara Justina (cuelmo, desgañir ‘des- gañitar’, gargüelo, mazcar, mega ‘bruja’, tosta, etc.), en Las famosas asturianas (Cane- llada 1982: 23-27) de Lope de Vega (soldemente, cada que o zomirse, junto a muchas formas —a veces aberrantes— que incorporan soluciones fonéticas y morfosintácticas asturleonesas) o en tantas otras que utilizan la llamada «fabla» (Salvador Plans 1992; Busto 2000: 60). Voces bables también aparecen en los villancicos puestos en boca de asturianos que formaron parte de los repertorios de las capillas musicales de muchas ca- tedrales y conventos de toda España en los siglos XVII y XVIII, donde se hallan textos que son meros remedos del habla asturiana junto a otros escritos en un asturiano bastante pu- ro.1 Sin embargo, es evidente que en ninguna de las obras citadas la presencia de asturia- nismos obedece a un interés filológico.

Profundamente afectada por la crisis finisecular, aquella pujante masonería volvería a resurgir ya bien entrado el siglo XX, en paralelo, al cada vez más progresivo deterioro del sistema político de la Restauración. En este artículo se aborda el papel desempeñado en este proceso por Diego Martínez Barrio, Gran Maestre de la Regional del Mediodía y del Grande Oriente Español y, durante la década de 1930, uno de los principales protagonistas de la Segunda República Española. Abstract In nineteenth century Spain, freemasonry was the most prominent in Andalusia; however the political crises that occurred caused a decline in the presence of freemasonry.
