Prensa Jovellanos and Management

Two years ago, the bicentenary of Jovellanos' death passed unnoticed among us, to our shame and as a sign of how sick we are as a country. Freud said that our memory losses betray us. In this case, it's as if the figure of our outstanding man would leave most of our political class unmasked. Therefore I consider it just in such a crisis–which is also a crisis of politics and of politicians–to celebrate today the anniversary of his death on November 27, 1811 in Puerto de Vega, fleeing from Napoleon's advance on his hometown Gijon. 

Prensa Secularism should not Mortgage the Mission

Ramón Jáuregui has said that the PSOE announcement that it will denounce church-state agreements once it returns to government is not mere wishful thinking. He is the one who also promoted an attempt to rectify the PSOE's radical secularism and protected the low portion of Christian socialists in his party while Aznar was in office. Now Jáuregui seems loaded with reason: "the Spanish Church has truly earned it".

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.
