The goal of BBRC is to become an internationally recognized centre of excellence in our understanding of age-related cognitive disability in order to provide practical solutions to the global challenges posed by the world’s aging population. Our goal will be achieved by championing primary and secondary prevention programs for Alzheimer’s disease and other related neurodegenerative disorders, the study and promotion of healthy aging, and the research of the basic physiological mechanisms of cognitive functions affected by healthy or pathological aging such as memory, learning and decision-making, among others. The vision of BBRC is to provide the society with distinct and innovative solutions for age-related cognitive disability by leveraging these complementary research programs in order to attain a multidisciplinary comprehension of the aging process and the pathophysiology of neurodegeneration. At present BBRC deploys its research mission through two Research Programs, the Alzheimer’s Prevention Program and the Memory Program. 5/2013 G65895401 5/2013 NIF/VAT: /0 30 Pasqual Maragall Foundation, Pompeu Fabra University and “La Caixa” Foundation are permanent members of the BBRC Board.

La distribució intracoalicional del poder i dels beneficis La constant negociació política i, sobretot, la distribució de parcelles de poder entre els partits del Govern són els dos principals efectes que generen tots els governs de coalició i que, a Catalunya, també s'ha pogut percebre (vid. ap. 3.2). Una de les primeres negociacions que duen a terme les forces polítiques que decideixen de governar en co alició és la distribució de ministeris o conselleries (Matas, 2000: 114). Com han observat Laver i Schofield (1990: 164-165) «la distribució de payoffs entre membres d'una coalició representa la línia de fons del procés polític [... ] una d'aquelles coses que la Teoria (de coalicions) necessita explicar perquè ens facilita informació sobre la validesa de les assumpcions de cadascuna de les teories que hem construït en primer terme».

  • Transforming Barcelona: the Renewal of a European Metropolis/Edited by Tim Marshall
    Transforming Barcelona Barcelona is perhaps the European city that has become most renowned for successfully “remaking” itself in the last 20 years. This image has been spread cumulatively around the world by books, television and internet sites, as well as by films and the use of the city in advertisements. This book is about the reality behind that image. It describes how the governors, professional planners and architects, and, in a wider sense, the people of the city and of Catalonia brought about the succession of changes which began around 1980. Transforming Barcelona is made up of chapters by those involved in the changes and by local experts who have been observing the changes year by year. Particular emphasis is placed on the political leadership and on the role of professionals, especially architects, in catalysing and implementing urban change. Other chapters look closely at the way that the treatment of public space became a key ingredient of what has been termed the “Barcelona model”. Critiques of this model consider from two different perspectives — environmental and cultural — how far the generally acclaimed successes stand up to full analysis. The book is fully illustrated and contains an up-to-date bibliography of writings on the city in English. This book will be of particular interest to those studying or practising in the fields of urban regeneration, urban design and urban geography, as well as all those fascinated by the multiple dimensions of the current transformation of older cities. No other book is available in English that provides such extensive understanding of Barcelona from authoritative local participants and observers.

  • The Rise of Secessionism in Catalonia Has Emerged out of the Will to Decide the Region’S Political Destiny As a Nation
    blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2012/05/29/catalonia-secession/ The rise of secessionism in Catalonia has emerged out of the will to decide the region’s political destiny as a nation May 29 2012 Will Catalonia secede from Spain? Montserrat Guibernau explores why many Catalonians now hope that it might. She argues that Catalonia’s subsidization of less affluent regions, which leaves the region worse off, is a major root of discontent. With 23% unemployment (rising to 40% among young people), the deepening of the economic crisis is hitting Catalans hard. Resentment against the Spanish government’s economic policies and dissatisfaction with politics prevail: In the Catalan society, those who are ‘dissatisfied with democracy’ rose to 49% in March. Catalonia, a traditionally prosperous region, sees its wealth and status downgraded as it looses competitiveness and lacks resources and saving for infrastructure while accumulating annual deficit of 8% of GDP due to the financial arrangements imposed by the Spanish state. In this context, support for Catalan fiscal autonomy (Pacte Fiscal) is rising fast and secession, for the first time in Catalan history, appears as a legitimate option. Catalan nationalism emerged in the 1960s as a progressive social movement defending democracy and freedom against Franco’s dictatorship, demanding a Statute of autonomy for Catalonia and amnesty for the regime’s political prisoners. Franco’s death in 1975 allowed a transition to democracy led by members of his own regime. Catalonia played a key role in the democratization of Spain by strongly supporting EU membership; providing economic and industrial leadership and being committed to solidarity towards Spain.
