The Long-Term Patterns of Regional Income Inequality in Spain, 1860–2000

2013

This paper studies the evolution of Spanish regional inequality from 1860 to 2000. The results point to the coexistence of two basic forces behind changes in regional economic inequality: differences in economic structure and labor productivity across regions. In the Spanish case, the initial expansion of industrialization during the period 1860-1900, in a context of growing economic integration of regions, promoted the spatial concentration of manufacturing in certain regions, which also benefited from the greatest advances in terms of labor productivity.

Mamy zatem do czynienia po pierwsze, ze zderzeniem, zestawieniem, dwóch różnych, aczkolwiek w pewnym sensie podobnych, wtórnych podmiotów prawa międzynarodowego, jakimi pozostają wymienione w temacie organizacje. Po drugie, z instytucją obywatelstwa w kontekście tych dwóch organizacji. Tak obok siebie postawione powyżej kwestie mogą i mają prawo wywoływać szereg znaków zapytania czy nawet kontrowersji.

2017

In the referendum of 23 June 2016, the 51.89% majority of the British who decided to vote opted for the exit ol their country from the European Union. This paper presents the main threads in the debate concerning, on the one hand, the reasons for Brexit and, on the othe r hand, its potential consequences for the United Kingdom and the EU. The vote for Brexit was determined by long-term factors (the specific character of the country’s political and economic systems) as well as short-term ones (the rising wave of immigration and the erroneous assumptions in the strategy of the pro-Europe camp). The main factor determining the scale of Brexit’s consequences will be the result of negotiations, …
