This paper shows the results of a research project on relative social mobility patterns in Spain during the second half of the 20th century. The data were collected by the Spanish National Statistics Institute for the Survey of Incomes and Living Conditions (2005). This empirical material has not been used previously and it provides new data about the last decade of the 20th century. The social fluidity models created by Erikson and Goldthorpe in The Constant Flux (1992) have been applied. In short, this paper confirms that the rates of the social fluidity remain invariant during this period and that the patterns of core social fluidity for European countries closely match the Spanish case. Nevertheless, this mobility regime has certain particularities resulting from the characteristics of Spain's social and economic structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The goal of this paper is promoting the discussion of design based research (DBR) among Iberoamerican researchers. This paper indentifies that the acceptance of designs based research in our countries lags behind the acceptance in Europe and the USA. It is now a good time for discussing design based research because its value and viability is undergoing thorough analysis. We think that design based research is a useful tool not only for researchers focusing on learning through new communication and information technologies but also for the formation of educators in general. In this paper we first describe and provide bibliographical background on DBR. The paper then deals with methodological aspects of DBR. Finally, the paper explains how to avoid common pitfalls applying DBR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

When having a look at the written and artistic productions created by women from antiquity to the 20th century, one find out that humor is almost invisible. This invisibility is obvious too in the testimonies on the European social life and rituals throughout the centuries that have been preserved up to the present times. The explanations are based on a complex network of factors ranging from the religion and the politics up to the social norms and the cultural trends. The purpose of this paper is to summary analyze these factors that contributed to the image of an unhumorous "second sex" and to revise the main theories on humor from a feminine outlook.

The paper suggests a reflection about participation in making social policies, moving from the results of a research focused upon the Piani di Zona, the instrument wanted by L. n. 328/2000 for planning social policies, in Friuli Venezia Giulia (a Region in the Nord Est of Italy). The paper reflects upon the main questions of the research that is how to incentive and maintain the partecipation of local associations, cooperatives and citizens in making social poli- cies, overcoming to set against approaches that promote participation and approaches that promote deliberation and without falling in rethoric. The reflection remarks the necessity to incentive participation in making social policies, the importance of sharing the sense of participation and of organizing the partecipation and, at last, the fundamental role of public administration in ensuring a participation rappresentative and transparent.

The aim of this paper is to draw attention to the role of leisure studies in social change analysis and in comparative sociology studies. In the first part of the paper, we briefly review the main definitions of leisure time. Then we focus on methodological problems related to comparative analysis on leisure time use. In the second part, we compare the structure of leisure time in different european countries studying some analogies and differences among them. Eurostat data constitute the empirical basis of this comparative analysis. In the third part, we underline that counting «who does something», «how often people do something», «in which period of the day, of the week, of the month or of the year people do something» and «how much time people spend to do something» just isn't enough for studying leisure time. Therefore, new questions should be asked: what does leisure mean in individual experiences? And how does leisure time become «institutionalized» in shared social practices? Then, an appropriate method is proposed to answer these questions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The current situation of European society is still deeply marked by the aftermath of the "cultural revolution" of the 60s. This paper discusses examines, first, a number of social features in which this influence is discernible: secularization, birth rate decline, decay of the family, relativism, etc. The second section presents the contemporary cultural crisis as the ultimate stage of an evolution that opened up in the 17th century, when a new secular-rational ethics (etsi Deus non daretur) -designed to supersede traditional Christian ethics- was proposed by Grotius and other scholars. The third section analyzes the essential contribution Christianity could make to the (still hypothetical) cultural-moral revival of Europe (via an ethics veluti si Deus daretur), focusing particularly on the dialogues Joseph Ratzinger held with Jürgen Habermas and Marcello Pera.

This paper is an attempt to present the experience of co-development in Europe and particularly in Spain. It is focus on the governmental initiatives since the end of the 1990's decade, as a consequence of a massive reception of migrants. Co-development is the policy in which this paper is focused, from its former periods in France to the moment in which it has been considered in Spain. In order to show this evolution and its effectiveness I use the Mexican case, because it demonstrates that there is a feasible link between migration and development. However, this it is only possible if the initiatives are coming from the migrants and their communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Criminal Law cannot be understood without a permanent reference to the Criminal Procedural System. At present, the system that best represents the dogmatism of Criminal Law (the German system), which greatly influences countries in the region, is gradually adopting institutes typical of common law. As a result, both the negotiation and the opportunity principles were introduced into the German and Portuguese criminal systems. This paper analyzes different methods of reaching a consensus: some of them include negotiation between the prosecutor and the accused (plea bargaining), in some others, the accused is allowed to participate in his/her own defense (conciliation or transaction), as well as those that allow the provisional suspension of the criminal process in exchange for suitable compensatory measures (compensation for damages). In addition, this paper favors a proposal which is more compatible with the governing principles of Material Criminal Law. The article's main objective is to compare the two most elaborate criminal systems in continental Europe in order to encourage discussions in relation to the procedural criminal system in Uruguay. This system, which will be explained in detail in the following pages, requires immediate substantial changes, given that it contains some observations regarding the principles and rights that should exist in the Criminal Process of a Democratic Rule of Law.

This paper focuses on the revision of the journalistic coverage given to the conflict caused by the Argentine troops' occupation of the South Atlantic Islands, which ended in an army contend with England, by the two main Spanish newspapers: El Pais and ABC. The paper highlights the implication that this confrontation had for Spain that was at the height of its democratization process. Not only did Spain have a close link with Argentina but it had also experimented a similar conflict in the Rock of Gibraltar. Besides, by the time of the conflict, the Spanish government had started an approaching strategy towards Europe, and was facing one of the first demonstrations against its decision to join the of N.A.T.O. Furthermore, the Argentine dictatorship had become a subject of preferential attention and damnation as a consequence of charges raised against its continuous violations to human rights.

Resumen: En este artículo se examinan las tendencias de la brecha salarial de género desde la perspectiva de la evolución de los rendimientos salariales de las competencias intelectuales (cognitivas e interpersonales) y físicas (fuerza y capa‐cidad motora). Tras analizar datos armonizados de seis países europeos y datos comparables de los Estados Unidos, se observan variaciones sustanciales en cuanto a la influencia de los precios de las calificaciones profesionales en la brecha salarial. Sin embargo, en todos los países de la muestra, una parte considerable de la variación de la disparidad salarial no puede explicarse por la evolución de los precios de las calificaciones.

Resumen: La relación entre la actividad sindical y la creciente desigualdad de ingresos observada en las economías avanzadas, a pesar de su ambigüedad teórica, se ha pasado por alto en los estudios empíricos. En este artículo se estima un modelo empírico para 26 países europeos entre 2005 y 2018, especificando la desigualdad de ingresos como una función de la tasa de densidad sindical, su valor al cuadrado y un conjunto de variables de control. El modelo se amplía con la inclusión de otras instituciones del mercado de trabajo para evaluar los efectos distributivos de la densidad sindical en toda la estructura institucional. Se observa una relación significativa y persistente, en forma de U invertida, entre densidad sindical y desigualdad de ingresos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper develops a relational analysis of populism. After placing the rise of contemporary European populism in the post-Cold War context, the static definition of populism as a "thin-centred" and restrictive ideology is exposed. A definition of populism as a process is used, in contrast with the tendency to apply static definitions. The figure of Pablo Iglesias is in this sense presented as an exemplary case that demonstrates the limitations of the use of these static definitions. The EU is also examined as a body that is spearheading the depoliticising processes that provoke the populist reaction - placing the focus on the "New Intergovernmentalism" to interpret the integration dilemmas - and the populist-technocratic and liberal-democratic dichotomies are addressed as historical endosymbioses. Finally, consideration is given to what should be done about the populist impasse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The literature maintains that not all populisms are equal. Some are seen as projects of regeneration or democratisation because they would incorporate an excluded people; others are movements that would weaken democracy by promoting exclusion (xenophobia and racism). The former is "left-wing populism" while the latter is "right-wing populism". This paper shows that what is central to populism is its model of democracy, not whether it is situated on the right or the left. To do this, an evaluation is made of the democratic balance of populisms in three countries in Europe (Austria, France and Hungary) and three in Latin America (Bolivia, Ecuador and Venezuela). As will be shown, those of the right have no more contributed to the destruction of democracy than those on the left may be presented as democratising successes; but all represent a profound challenge to liberal democracy.

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, a mass inmigrant flow reshaped Argentine demography. A particularly high percentage of foreigners settled in the southwest of the province of Buenos Aires, where a complex multilingualism was generated. Nevertheless, an accelerated substitution of original languages took place in a few decades, and nowadays Spanish is the only language spoken by the majority of the population. Against that background, Danish and Volga-German communities stand out because of their prolonged conservation of their immigrant languages, which continues to the present. In this paper, we offer a review of both groups' linguistic behavior, with the purpose of analyzing the common factors that in both cases have contributed to producing the nontypical result referred to.

The subject of the following paper is to compare the impacts of the financial and economic crisis of 2008 and the following years to the European Union and Latin America. Afiera brief description of the origins and characteristics of the 2008 crisis, the article analyse its effects on the two regions, the implemented politics on both sides and its results. Based on the comparative evaluation of these answers, we deduce some lessons and formulate some recommendations which could contribute to reduce the probability that such crisis repeat in the future or make it at least easier to manage. From a theoretical point of view, we refer o the concepts of neo-realism, new-institutionalism, social-constructivism (norms, values, self-perception, discourse) and, taking on consideration the strong relationship between internal and external factors, "two level game".

Academic reflection on Islam in Europe began at the start of the 1980s as a phenomenon linked to the settlement of migrant populations. Profound transformations in terms both of the articulation of Muslim identities in Europe and the changes underway in the European national contexts of which the members of these groups form part mean new analytical approaches are required. This paper proposes a reading of the collective religious expressions of Muslims in Europe and the reactive scenarios arising in post-migratory terms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
