Prensa The social democratic compass

Social democratic parties, accused of being accomplices of capitalism by its younger siblings, have not known how to reshape their ideological place. They have resignedly accepted the diagnosis other people have made of them, they have given up their own identity and they have ended up yielding to populism’s easy argumentation. (...) This historical and political framework is illustrative, because the sorry spectacle that the PSOE gave away last week can’t be separated from the future of the European Social democracy.

Prensa US primaries after March 15

It is increasingly likely that the two choices before the US electorate in November 2016 will be Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. After March 15, Hillary Clinton is on track to be the Democratic nominee. After March 15, where Trump won Florida, North Carolina and Illinois, he needs around 60% of the remaining delegates. This is possible. If Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, Hillary Clinton will win an historic victory and the Republicans will likely lose the Senate and possibly the House.   

Prensa Timely Contributions

Only two weeks before the elections of 20 December 2015 some very clear messages were delivered so that citizens could be aware of what to expect. Perhaps the most important one was stated by an excellent economist, much criticized for accepting his appointment as Deputy Minister of Economy in the Zapatero government, Jose Manuel Campa. Now, in a statement to Aida Collado, published in Gijón's newspaper El Comercio, on November 29, 2015, he declared nothing less than what follows. First, it is necessary to solve the problems of indebtedness and excessive unemployment, but "if we understand the recovery in terms of the growth of GDP, it is growing (recovery does exist here), in terms of employment, jobs are also beginning to grow." The threats of indebtedness logically push him to argue...

Prensa A Vulnerable Spain

La vulnerabilidad de un país se deriva de la existencia de una amenaza real y de la adecuación de la seguridad y defensa nacional para disuadirla o eliminarla. Con esta ecuación en la mano, España es, un año después de los atentados del 11-M, más vulnerable, posiblemente más vulnerable que nunca antes. La amenaza persiste y la defensa nacional ha empeorado para hacerle frente.

Prensa European Funds: European Regional Policy in Spain. 1986-2003

La Política de Cohesión financiada desde el presupuesto comunitario es beneficiosa para todos los países de la Unión. Permite, por un lado, a medio y largo plazo, un proceso de convergencia real de los países y regiones más pobres, aunque supone también importantes ventajas competitivas para los más ricos. Sin embargo, si las políticas regionales no van acompañadas de las reformas estructurales necesarias corren el riesgo de pretender hacer de la subvención la principal fuente de renta de amplias capas extensas de población con carácter permanente, pervirtiendo así la naturaleza y objetivo de los fondos.

Prensa What is at Stake for Spain in the European Constitution's Negotiation?

Desde su inicio, la Unión Europea ha adoptado sus decisiones por consenso y respetando el equilibrio de los intereses de todos. Este afán se plasma en un sistema político-institucional sui generis en el que los Tratados atribuyen el poder legislativo, judicial y ejecutivo entre las diversas instituciones comunitarias. Dentro del entramado institucional comunitario, el Consejo desempeña un papel fundamental, puesto que es co-legislador y autoridad presupuestaria junto con el Parlamento Europeo. Además, el Consejo está llamado a ejercer un papel cada vez mayor en la definición de la política exterior de la Unión Europea y realiza una labor fundamental en la preparación de las reuniones del Consejo Europeo, verdadero vértice político de la Unión Europea. La forma en que el Consejo adopta sus decisiones está también diseñada para conseguir el consenso y mantener el equilibrio de poderes. Hasta ahora, el Consejo ha adoptado sus decisiones mediante el denominado sistema de voto ponderado.
