2021
Desde hace algunas décadas, una nueva corriente historiográfica ha dirigido su atención a las transformaciones que, en los ámbitos social, político y militar, impulsó el gobierno borbónico en las primeras décadas del siglo XVIII. Aunque en gran medida no tuvieron éxito, las reformas promovidas en las dos primeras décadas entre la Península Ibérica, Sicilia, Nueva España y Perú ponen de relieve un importante primer intento de hacer más funcional el gobierno de la Monarquía. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las propuestas de las reformas que Carmine Nicola Caracciolo elaboró durante su mandato como Virrey del Perú (1716-1721). En particular, se reflexionará sobre aquellas propuestas…
A Choquet Integral Based Assessment Model of Projects of Urban Neglected Areas: A Case of Study
2014
This paper describes a multi-criteria evaluation model to support decisions related to the redevelopment of urban residual areas, a central theme in planning practices. Renewal projects on urban or neighborhood scale are complex problems because of the social, economic and environmental implications generated on the different categories of stakeholders. In the awareness of the specific characteristics of each city, the cognitive and evaluation model is especially defined for a given urban context, although it is easily adaptable to different urban ones. In order to take into account the interactions among the criteria by which we compare design alternatives, the Choquet integral is implemen…

From the Normative Heaven to Crude Matter. The Discursive Transformation of Good Government into Governance
2017
International audience; Abstract. The abundant use of the concept of good governance in political and media discourse can lead us to conclude that we are currently encountering a conceptual innovation. In actual fact it is an old concept that has its roots in classical political theory and resists any clear and precise definition.

Władze Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej na uchodźstwie wobec sytuacji w Polsce w latach 1947–1949
2018
The authorities of the Republic of Poland in exile tried to follow and analyse the situation in Poland after World War 2. The developments in the years 1947–1949 which aroused particular interest among emigrants were the elections to the Legislative Sejm, the issue of the Oder-Neisse borderline and the sovietisation of Poland. These topics were raised by the president in his speeches, by the government during its meetings and by the National Council of Poland during its sessions. The authorities in exile did not manage, however, to exert influence upon the situation in Poland. Because of the political isolation of the government of the Republic of Poland in exile, emigrants could merely sta…

The Impact of Government Spending on the Private Sector: Crowding-out versus Crowding-in Effects
2011
The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of government spending on the private sector, assessing the existence of crowding-out versus crowding-in effects. Using a panel of 145 countries from 1960 to 2007, the results suggest that government spending produces important crowding-out effects, by negatively affecting both private consumption and investment. Moreover, while the effects do not seem to depend on the different phases of economic cycle, they vary considerably among regions. The results are economically and statistically significant, and robust to several econometric techniques.
