The topics addressed in this book have traditionally been covered in separate publications on civil and commercial law. This dualism of regimes has made it difficult for students and professionals alike to comprehend Spanish private law as a whole. In the past this has led to inefficient duplication of explanations, gaps in key areas and an altogether fragmented picture. Introduction to Spanish Private Law presents a consolidated, modern, and realistic image of today's Spanish private legal system. It combines both civil and commercial law and integrates them in the same book, making the overall subject far more accessible to readers. This united approach results in a more logical and efficient process of learning. Finally the issues that are addressed reflect the reality of today's economic and legal scene. This book attempts to provide the readers with the necessary legal instruments to tackle the real problems arising from a globalized modern society. The general principles in this book are presented from a practical point of view that emanates from the authors' conception of a legal system as an instrument to solve social problems in accordance with a set of principles, values and aims.

The Daughters of Juarez will be the first, major non-fiction work to examine the Juarez murders. In it, authors Rodriguez, Montane and Pulitzer will focus on retelling the stories of these missing women, and of their families' plight to find the killer or killers responsible. As this story begins to land on the front pages of national papers such as The New York Times, The Daughters of Juarez will become a staple of required reading, for years to come.

This book presents the main conclusions reached by the academic project "Geopolitics of Gas and the Future of the Euro-Russian Relations (Geo4GER)." This project is being developed at IPRI -- Portuguese Institute of International Relations, NOVA University, an academic research institute dedicated to advanced studies in Political Science and International Relations, of NOVA University of Lisbon, Portugal. Energy security is a key issue on the international political agenda, a prerequisite for political stability and economic development and an indivisible part of a state's overall security. For Europe, the high-energy insufficiency is a major challenge, given its dependence on external sources, especially from Russia, the lack of diversification of energy sources, and the poor branch of its transmission network. For Russia, energy has been a geopolitical factor of power and a potential strategic vector to its re-emergence as a great power in the international system. However, in terms of energy, Russia also faces some long-term challenges, given the fall of its production and the low competitiveness of its gas, which is currently saved from the market where competition can hardly enter. Given this scenario, and also the increasingly important role in the political and strategic discussion of energy issues between Europe and Russia, it becomes relevant to diagnose the past and the present to forecast the medium and long term future (2030), taking into account the expected changes in the geopolitical and energetic environment, and the characteristics and dynamics of European-Russian relationship, including its energy interdependence and the energy policies and strategies outlined by Europe and Russia.

In a globalized world, the international economic crisis that started in 2008 has led to structural changes in the international system and in the balance of power: from a unipolar to a multipolar sphere; from the 'post-modern state' to the 'sovereign state'; from unrestricted integration in the global economy to the independent management of the economy itself; and, from trade integration at a global level to the fragmentation of the economic space in regional areas. In short, the transition from a unipolar to a multipolar trend seems to be reflected in the increasing fragmentation of the economic space and has repercussions in the strategic space and security. These changes are also affecting the 'discourse' that explains the process of globalization and the appropriate strategies to act on it. Until 2007 one could talk about a "Western model." But now this is a lot more questionable, and we might even talk of an outright censorship. The rise of emerging powers leads to the construction of a new 'narrative' adapted to the values that these countries embody, among them the strength and suitability to the principles derived from the sovereign state. A scenario where it is increasingly difficult to adopt the tenets of globalizing governance. Our aim is to provide an overview of all these structural transformations and assess those changes in the different areas taken into account in this book. We also aim to address possible alternatives, which may allow a coordinated management of certain risks, although regionally differentiated. Armed Forces and other security services, as well as decision-makers in the areas of economics, social and security public policies and other readers can find in this book an overview of some major contemporary challenges, resulting from the link between security and the globalization process.We hope this book can be useful to the academic community, both graduate and post-graduate students, professors and researchers of International Relations and Political Science.

Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, queda en la frontera sur del Rio Bravo, frente a El Paso, Texas. Por mas de doce anos, aqui se ha llevado a cabo un sinnumero de crimenes atroces contra mujeres y ninas que incluyen secuestros, violaciones, mutilaciones y asesinatos. Segun Amnistia Internacional, para 2006, se habian encontrado mas de 400 cadaveres, sin contar centenares de desaparecidas.

Muchos creen que las muertes se deben a la violencia e impunidad que imperan en la ciudad. Entre las teorias que se proponen estan uno o varios asesinos en serie, los sacrificios en rituales satanicos, el poderoso cartel del narcotrafico de Juarez y hasta corruptos funcionarios mexicanos que encubren a los responsables.

"Las hijas de Juarez" promete ser una reveladora obra literaria que revela no solo la brutalidad tras estos sangrientos hechos, sino las violaciones de los derechos humanos de la mujer en Mexico.
