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.

imagination, ignite your passions, and give you the roadmap you
need to conquer the world alone. Teresa Rodriguez met an Australian
surfer in San Francisco; within months of this chance romantic

Blind Date. Now, she shares with readers the steps she took to

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.
