The Conservatives’ representation of socialism and liberalism during PMQs since the 1990s
2022
The Conservatives’ representation of socialism and liberalism during PMQs since the 90s.Socialism and liberalism are ideologies which, in Michael Freeden’s terms “are not an exact representation of an ideational reality, but a symbolic reconstruction of it”. Drawing on this premise this paper seeks to analyse how and to what end the Conservatives have made a symbol out of (Labour’s) socialism and (the Conservatives’) liberalism through parliamentary discourse (esp. during PMQs). This process of symbolization through specific rhetoric means results in a clear-cut ideological divide between parties offering an (over)simplified view of the political world. However, symbols are fluid and can ev…

The Impact of Trade Liberalisation on Water Use: A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis
2008
Water is scarce in many countries. One instrument to improve the allocation of a scarce resource is (efficient) pricing or taxation. However, water is implicitly traded on international markets, particularly through food and textiles, so that impacts of water taxes cannot be studied in isolation, but require an analysis of international trade implications. We include water as a production factor in a multi-region, multi-sector computable general equilibrium model (GTAP), to assess a series of water tax policies. We find that water taxes reduce water use, and lead to shifts in production, consumption, and international trade patterns. Countries that do not levy water taxes are nonetheless af…

"L'Espagne c'est encore l'orient?" Pasado oriental y moral cristiana en Martínez de la Rosa
2013
A principios del siglo XIX, tanto absolutistas como liberales coincidían en situar los orígenes de España en la unión entre los primitivos hispanos y los visigodos, fundamentalmente a través de la conversión al cristianismo de los segundos. En las décadas siguientes, escritores, poetas, novelistas o historiadores románticos articularon desde una esfera pública cada vez más densa una narrativa de la nación liberal en la que la Edad Media ocupaba un papel destacado. Ahora bien, en un periodo tan esencial para la historia nacional como aquél, los autores españoles debían admitir que hispanorromanos y visigodos no eran sus únicos protagonistas, como advirtieron también los escritores foráneos. …
Producción de personas, reproducción de representaciones. Reflexiones sobre dos programas de capacitación en liderazgo
2020
The present paper addresses the question of the role Executive Education performs in the strengthening and reproduction of neoliberal ideology. It aims to critically reflect on the way selected contents and teaching activities operate jointly enabling or inhibiting certain perspectives regarding work in organizations. Two Leadership training programs are analyzed in this article, currently delivered by the two most prestigious business schools in Argentina: IAE Business School, and Torcuato Di Tella Business School. I begin with a general description of each one and proceed analyzing their educational proposals. Finally, the critical review reveals their consistency with a set of social rep…
