En la memoria colectiva del español persiswten las huellas de un pasado político atormentado, de una historia trágica repetida una y otra vez, que habla de conflicto, represión, exilio y muerte. Esta historia, sin embargo, parece haber llegado a un final feliz: La democracia en España se halla plenamente asentada en la actualidad, gracias a una Constitucion basada en el consenso extraordinariamente mayoritario. Tomando precisamente como indice los grandes apartados de la Carta Magna española, Joaquin Garcia Morillo propone un recorrido ameno e instructivo por nuestro sistema politico, en el que se puede apreciar la magnitud del cambio que ha experimentado España en los ultimos años. Las claves de la estructura del poder, su ejercicio y sus limites se exponen sin pasar por alto algunos de los aspectos que han llegado a ser mas polemicos en el funcionamiento de nuestra democracia, como la independencia del poder judicial, la inmunidad parlamentaria, la limitacion de la propia soberania como resultado de la convergencia europea, las formas en que distintos grupos de presion -a traves, por ejemplo, de la prensa- pueden influir en el Gobierno, los juicios por jurado, etc.

Armed conflict poses a huge threat to public health but perhaps not in the way you would think. It's time to reconsider our entire approach to human security.Thanks to our increasingly connected world, we can now witness the worst manifestations of war in ways we never could before. This makes it easier than ever to recognize dangerous conflicts as a threat to health and well-beingat least for those populations living in war zones. In How War Kills, Yara M. Asi exposes the devastating repercussions of war that extend far beyond the battlefield.By tracing the trajectory of violence throughout history, with a focus on contemporary conflicts, Asi argues that war has been overlooked from a public health perspective. From the breakdown of sanitation and other vital infrastructure to the scarcity of essential resources, war creates a perilous environment ripe for disease outbreaks and widespread suffering far beyond the reach of bullets and bombs. She also challenges the reactive nature of current humanitarian responses and calls for more proactive measures to prevent the catastrophic consequences of war and militarism.

A haunting tale of loss and redemption for fans of A Long Way Gone and What is the What

El marco espacial y cronológico del libro comprende casi todos los países de Europa central y occidental desde mediados del siglo XIX hasta 1939. El autor sostiene que la instauración de regímenes liberales, socialdemócratas o fascistas debe atribuirse a las alianzas establecidas entre las diversas clases. Gracias a un minucioso análisis de la estructura social y de la organización política y sindical de los diferentes estados, realizado con un enfoque diacrónico y comparatista, consigue ofrecer pautas explicativas plausibles de las opciones políticas elegidas en cada caso. La obra, convertida ya en un clásico, resulta de inapreciable valor tanto para los especialistas en ciencia política y en sociología histórica, como para los historiadores y, en general, para cuantos deseen comprender mejor el desarrollo político de buena parte de Europa en los cien años que preceden a la segunda guerra mundial.
