A propósito del Bronce Atlántico y el origen de los calderos de remaches peninsulares
2002
[ES] Los calderos atlánticos de remaches de la Península Ibérica son datados con frecuencia en los ss. VIII-VII, aunque recientes publicaciones plantean que el origen de esta producción metálica en ámbito peninsular podría ser anterior. Intentamos mostrar, sobre la base de contextos estratigráficos y dataciones radiocarbónicas, que los calderos atlánticos de remaches aparecen en la Península Ibérica en el transcurso de los ss. XI-X cal BC.
European Banking System - Before and After Brexit -
2021
Abstract The history of the last 15 years has been marked by many events at European level, some which led to the last wave of EU enlargement in 2013, with the accession of Croatia, others that led European authorities to take radical action in order to overcome the crisis of 2007-2008, and recently the pandemic crisis of 2020, and the others that marked the first contraction of the European Union since its establishment, together with the decision of Great Britain to no longer be part of the European Union, a phenomenon known as Brexit. Starting from the important role that Great Britain played in the European Union, London being a famous financial and banking center, through this paper we…

The Role of Labour and Associated EU Liberalization Challenges: Insights from the Port Sector
2013
An influential argument holds that labour unions are not likely to succeed in their objectives through current European decision-making processes. In addition, the European Union has extensive leverage to introduce negative integration due to asymmetries towards liberalization in the treaties. Given such arguments it is of interest to study a case, where attempts of EU liberalization reform have failed and labour unions claim this is their victory. An in-depth analysis of the decision-making process of the proposal for a Port Directive highlights that labour unions are most influential when they are able to exploit the division of industry interests to resoundingly oppose policy change. Mor…
The futures of offshoring FDI in high-tech sectors
2010
This paper examines what is still a relatively new phenomenon in the literature, the outsourcing/offshoring of high-technology manufacturing and services. This has become a concern for both policy makers and academics for two reasons. Firstly, policy makers have become concerned that the offshoring of high-technology sectors in the West will follow the more labour intensive sectors, and move to lower cost locations. Secondly, international business theory has tended to view low costs, and high levels of indigenous technological development as being the two main drivers of location advantage in the attraction of FDI. We show that this may not be the case for offshored high-technology manufac…

How Brexit affects EU external action: The UK’s legacy in European international cooperation
2018
Abstract What exactly Brexit means for British engagement in European external affairs and development cooperation, is highly unclear, while its potential impact is considerable. After the general election in the UK on 8 June 2017, uncertainty regarding the direction, process and timing of the Brexit negotiations and the risk of a disorderly separation have risen further. The government position of a ‘hard Brexit’ seems no longer to be carved in stone. Yet, given the expected – total or partial – withdrawal of a major EU member state, like any area of EU politics, also European development policy faces a number of challenges: short-term problems regarding existing legal obligations, looming…
Answers to the uncertainty from the workers in the Valencian textile and clothing sector
2013
La gestión política y empresarial de la liberalización del comercio de sus productos abrió a mediados de la década del 2000 una importante crisis en el sector del textil-confección. Una crisis especialmente aguda en las comarcas valencianas de l’Alcoià, el Comtat y la Vall d’Albaida donde no sólo la economía sino también el imaginario social de sus habitantes se ha construido tradicionalmente sobre este sector. Esta situación sirvió para la investigación que origina el artículo como metáfora de la percepción de la incertidumbre, entendida ésta como la falta de códigos válidos para dotar de signifi-cado los hechos que se viven en la cotidianeidad y en consecuencia la incapacidad para planifi…
Do tax policies discriminate against female traders? A gender framework to study informal marketplaces in Nigeria
2022
Scholars have long debated formalizing the informal sector through taxation, but how do these processes affect gender inequalities? Our study in Nigerian markets contributes a gender framework to the equitable taxation literature on formalization. The study draws on a survey of 451 traders in 12 markets, key informant interviews, and ethnographic research in four markets of two states. We find that in at least two situations taxation policies discriminated against women implicitly: (1) male tax collectors had higher incidences of harassment on all traders and (2) taxing traders with flat taxes penalized women, as they earned less than men but were taxed the same.长期以来，学者们一直在辩论通过税收将非正式部门正规化，但…
