Clubes y selecciones nacionales de fútbol. La dimensión etnoterritorial del fútbol español
2006
La primera parte de este trabajo muestra, desde una perspectiva general, la simultaneidad histórica en el surgimiento y desarrollo del fútbol y la construcción de los modernos Estados-nación, así como su posterior diferenciación en el contexto socioeconómico de la globalización. Esa diferenciación o separación institucional implica una alteración y reajuste de las dinámicas identitarias asociadas a este deporte. Sobre ese trasfondo histórico y conceptual se plantea una investigación de la dimensión etnoterritorial del fútbol español actual. Tras dedicar la segunda parte del artículo a revisar los aspectos etnoterritoriales de su evolución histórica, en la tercera parte se presenta el anális…
Old towns in “smart cities” between conservation and metamorphosis. Pending European Union guidelines
2014
In reflecting upon the role of environmental capital as represented by old towns in smart cities, the author reveals the consequences of re-plastering the facade of ancient buildings while emphasizing the resulting risk of globalization of historic districts. This is followed by a critical consideration concerning the active protection of old towns and their cultural typicality and geographical context, prerequisites for the development of specific guide-lines for the European Union. Explanation is also provided about how the restoration dynamics of the old towns are irreversibly changing the urban landscape in European cities. Strict regulations regarding the preservation of European old t…
ONG internacionales y solidaridad global. Un análisis referido a la sociedad española (International NGOs and Global Solidarity. A Focus on Spanish S…
2007
Several analysts have pointed out the emergence of a global consciousness that is closely related to the process of globalization of social life. It has been dered that this global consciousness, which is supported on an expansion of the geographical space of responsibility from which citizens feel they are being begged for aid, is encouraged by the rev lution of information and communication technologies (ICT), the contents broadcast by the mass media and the action of international NGOs. From the context of these and starting from the data c ntained in a CIS survey (E-2419), this paper seeks to contrast empirically the hypothesis of the modifying action of the «cultural reference framewor…

The consequences of job insecurity for employees: The moderator role of job dependence
2010
With globalization and increased international competition have come more flexible forms of employment and increased job insecurity. The authors address the impact of perceived job insecurity on employees' work attitudes and intentions. After reviewing relevant research on stress theory and the relationship between job insecurity and its consequences, they test two hypotheses on 942 employees in Spain, namely: first, that job insecurity relates negatively to job satisfaction and organiza- tional commitment and positively to intention to leave; and, second, that job insecur- ity, economic need and employability interact in the prediction of these outcomes. s a result of globalization and int…

Growth in a time of external imbalances
2019
Abstract Globalization and financial integration have increased in the last three decades giving rise to cumulated large external imbalances. The question we address in this paper is whether economic growth can be affected by these external imbalances. We estimate an augmented growth equation with the external stock position of the countries measured by the net foreign asset position. Unlike previous literature, we use non-parametric methods that capture non-linearities and heterogeneity, and apply them to a sample that includes 106 developed and developing countries for the period 1983-2011. Contrary to the neoclassical theory, we find that improvements in the external position foster grow…

Nuevos horizontes de economía ética en tiempo de neurociencia
2017
En el tema de los «Nuevos horizontes de economía ética en tiempo de neurociencia» se entremezclan lo que hoy se suele entender como ciencias naturales, ciencias sociales y humanidades (o ciencias humanas y ciencias del espíritu [Geisteswissenschaften], y todas ellas bajo el nuevo imperativo tecnológico (que impele incluso a considerar la ciencia en general como tecnociencia). Situados ya en este contexto de nuestro tiempo, sentimos de modo especial el predominio de lo económico, que se ha encarnado en los procesos de globalización y mundialización. Pero asimismo en nuestro horizonte histórico no es fácil sentir que vayan unidas la economía y la ética. Lo más normal es que se susciten recelo…
