Las elecciones de Síndico Personero y Diputados del común en la ciudad de Valencia a principios del siglo XIX
2001
Durante el reinado de Carlos III se aplicó la reforma municipal por la que se introducían nuevos elementos en la estructura de los ayuntamientos. En concreto, se creaban los empleos de diputado del común y síndico personero. Por su proceso de elección y por los requisitos exigidos, se ampliaba la posibilidad de que se pudiera quebrar el monopolio que de los empleos municipales había consolidado la oligarquía que dominaba el consistorio. La aplicación de la reforma en la ciudad de Valencia no fue muy diferente al resto. Analizando los primeros años del XIX hasta la ocupación francesa, se constata cierto fracaso de la misma, numerosos conflictos en su aplicación todos los años se recurrirán l…
Should all the world be taxed?
1997
Governments are beginning to fear that the establishment of the “information society” will cause their revenue from taxation to shrink: economic activities in the virtual world of the Internet could escape the application of value added tax. Are these fears justified? Would a “bit tax” solve the problem?

The impact of economic, social and political factors on the landscape structure of the Vidzeme Uplands in Latvia
2005
Abstract Changes in landscape structure in a typical part of the Vidzeme Uplands in central Latvia during the 20th century are analysed and anticipated changes in the 21st century are projected. Forest areas gradually increased in the Vidzeme Uplands over the course of the 20th century. This increase was associated with several factors: the economic policy in Latvia during the 1930s, the exile of farmers in 1940 and 1949 after the Soviet occupation of Latvia, the aggregation of land into collective farms, the amalgamation of small collective farms, the formation of large-scale Soviet collective farms, and widespread land melioration. Since land reform in the 1990s, following the restoration…
EARLY DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS DEBATES REVISITED
2007
Development economics in its early years created the image of a fierce fight between advocates of contrasting theories or approaches—“balanced growth” vs. “unbalanced growth,” or “program loans” vs. “project loans.” This view has the merit of highlighting such conflicts in great detail; yet, it fails to take into account the reality of development economics as it was practiced in the field. This paper reassesses these old conflicts by complementing the traditional focus on theoretical debates with an emphasis on the practice of development economics.A particularly interesting example is the debate between Albert Hirschman, one of the fathers of the “unbalanced growth” approach, and Lauchlin…
Two Decades of Change in Spanish Higher Education
1999
The 1983 Reforms The current structure of higher education was established by the 1983 University Reform Act, which greatly revised the legal framework of Spanish universities. Formerly completely controlled by the central government, universities have gained in autonomy and now depend more on regional governments. The legal reforms also democratized the internal structure of universities. Power was transferred from the state bureaucracy to university-level governing bodies, including nonacademic staff and students, that have decision-making powers in matters concerning the institution and departments and in electing the rector, deans, and department heads.
