Una reflexión sobre el aumento de la polarización política en España y otros países occidentales en las últimas décadas. La investigación más completa hasta la fecha sobre uno de los mayores problemas de nuestro tiempo. El término polarización está en boca de todos los analistas de la actualidad política local e internacional. Pero ¿por qué las sociedades están hoy mucho más divididas en sus creencias y preferencias políticas que hace una década?

El esfuerzo griego por construir un espacio humano donde fuera posible la justicia y donde el destino común estuviera regido por la voluntad de los hombres se vinculó desde el origen a la existencia de ciudadanos: ellos eran la ciudad y, por tanto, el Estado.

Caballeros y batallas, princesas y castillos, asedios y profetas guerreros que lideran el camino hacia la victoria sobre relucientes caballos blancos: todo parece ser parte de mitos y leyendas. La historia de esta guerra se vuelve fascinante por su entorno, pero es inspiradora por sus personajes. Jóvenes reyes y audaces reinas, prisioneros que creen en el honor, tormentas de granizo que detienen luchas enteras y la historia de una joven campesina que cambió el curso de la historia.

La esperada continuación de "Y ahí lo dejo. Crónica de un proceso". ¿Qué ha sucedido durante 2019 y principios de 2020 y cómo afrontan su futuro legal los políticos catalanes exiliados?
Gonzalo Boyé es el cerebro jurídico que ha llevado el caso de los políticos catalanes que se exiliaron cuando se supo que la juez Lamela iba a encausar e inmediatamente encarcelar a todos los que ella consideraba responsables de los supuestos delitos de sedición y rebelión tras el resultado del referéndum ilegal celebrado en Catalunya el 1 de octubre de 2017.

Starting with a superbly concise explanation of the Industrial Revolution, authors Garrett and Godfrey explore the intricate series of events that followed on the heels of a conservative reaction to Napoleon's defeat. With varying degrees of success, the victorious Allied powers sought to reinstall monarchy and religious authority throughout Europe.

The 25 years between the onset of the French Revolution in 1789 and the Bourbon Restoration after Napoleon in 1814 is an astonishing period in world history. This era shook the foundations of the old world and marked a permanent shift for politics, religion, and society - not just for France, but for all of Europe. An account of the events alone reads like something out of a thrilling novel.

Guyanese intellectual Walter Rodney emerged as one of the leading thinkers and activists of the anticolonial revolution. In 1980, shortly after founding of the Working People's Alliance in Guyana, the 38-year-old Rodney would be assassinated. In his magnum opus, Rodney incisively argues that grasping "the great divergence" between the West and the rest can only be explained as the exploitation of the latter by the former. This meticulously researched analysis of the repercussions of European colonialism in Africa remains an indispensable study for grasping global inequality today.

Frente a la actual «panoplia de zapadores» de la Constitución que busca dividir el país -nacionalistas, populistas, antisistemas-, los firmes partidarios de la libertad y la democracia van reculando en sus posiciones hasta conformar un «ejército de descontentos acobardados». Esta es la razón principal que impulsó a Alfonso Guerra, político orgulloso de la Transición que nos «devolvió la dignidad», a escribir La España en la que creo. 

Few economists or historians write like McCloskey - her ability to invest the facts of economic history with the urgency of a novel, or of a leading case at law, is unmatched. She summarizes modern economics and modern economic history with verve and lucidity yet sees through to the really big scientific conclusion. Not matter, but ideas. Big books don't come any more ambitious or captivating than Bourgeois Equality.

Best-selling author and world-renowned historian Niall Ferguson has won widespread acclaim for thought-provoking works such as Civilization and High Financier. The Great Degeneration tackles nothing less than the decline of Western civilization. Ferguson posits that slowing growth, outrageous debt, and antisocial behavior are contributing to the erosion of the West’s once rock-solid foundations. Ferguson excavates the causes and shows how heroic leadership and radical reform are needed to right the course.

The Lost History of Liberalism challenges our most basic assumptions about a political creed that has become a rallying cry - and a term of derision - in today's increasingly divided public square. Taking listeners from ancient Rome to today, Helena Rosenblatt traces the evolution of the words "liberal" and "liberalism", revealing the heated debates that have taken place over their meaning. In this timely and provocative book, Rosenblatt debunks the popular myth of liberalism as a uniquely Anglo-American tradition centered on individual rights.

A distinguished historian of Spain and Europe provides an enlightening account of the development of nationalist and separatist movements in contemporary Catalonia and Scotland.   

La Prima Repubblica ci sembra un mondo lontano e irripetibile. In bianco e nero, senza social, un mondo nel quale gli italiani guardavano alla politica in modo diverso, i partiti avevano milioni di iscritti e andavano a votare quasi tutti. Può suonare incredibile oggi, ma in un sondaggio del 1951 secondo l'80 per cento delle donne era desiderabile che il marito fosse più colto della moglie, mentre nel 1967 il 58 per cento degli intervistati riteneva che le donne non dovessero occuparsi di politica. Cosa è successo da allora? In che modo l'Italia è diventata il paese che è oggi?

A criticare la costruzione europea, dall'euro alla BCE, dal fiscal compact all'unione bancaria, sono spesso gli stessi che hanno firmato gli accordi a Bruxelles e li hanno poi ratificati nei rispettivi paesi. Fare dell'Europa il capro espiatorio di tutti i mali è però una strategia autolesionista che non solo alimenta i vari populismi, ma espone le forze politiche e i governi che l'adottano all'accusa di essere incapaci di battere i pugni sul tavolo a Bruxelles, di sapere cosa andava fatto e di non averlo fatto.

New from the number-one Sunday Times best-selling author of Prisoners of Geography. We feel more divided than ever. This riveting analysis tells you why. Walls are going up. Nationalism and identity politics are on the rise once more. Thousands of miles of fences and barriers have been erected in the past 10 years, and they are redefining our political landscape.

Despite all the grim predictions, the European Union is not on the verge of collapse. Quite the contrary: If European leaders act with resolve and persistence, the union could experience a rebirth.

19th century Europe produced some of the greatest soldiers, statesmen, scientists, artists, and thinkers of any period in recorded history. And by the middle of that century nationalism had emerged triumphant from Ireland to Greece, and many new nations, including Germany and Italy, had appeared. But nationalism was accompanied by a chauvinistic impulse toward militarism.

The ominous forces of militarism, nationalism, and secret alliances were finally set loose by the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand. As the Central Powers of Austria-Hungary and Germany move to quickly bring the issue to a speedy climax, the wheels begin to come off. Instead of quick victory, a devastating stalemate ensued.

What's happening in global politics? As if overnight, many Democrats revolted and passionately backed a socialist named Bernie Sanders; the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union; the vituperative billionaire Donald Trump became the presidential nominee of the Republican party; and a slew of rebellious parties continued to win elections in Switzerland, Norway, Italy, Austria, and Greece. John B. Judis, one of America's most respected political analysts, tells us why we need to learn about the populist movement.
