Download or read book Police and Public Order in Europe written by John Roach and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1985, Police and Public Order in Europe examines the development of the police in Western Europe and considers how police functions have changed over time. Each contributor looks at the experience of one country while having regard to the practices of the other countries. The role of the police in maintaining public order had become increasingly important in the early 1980s. The activities of terrorists from both Left and Right in Italy, Spain and West Germany and the IRA in Great Britain had long been a focus of attention. However, in many ways a more disturbing phenomenon was the increase in the general level of popular unrest which had produced considerable rioting and looting in British cities as well as often violent confrontation between the police and an increasing range of protesters in other European countries. These events received wide media coverage at the time and the issue of public order was one of growing concern for governments, the police and the public. The role of the police in Western Europe was now firmly political.
Download or read book The Franco Regime 1936 1975 written by Stanley G. Payne and published by University of Wisconsin Pres. This book was released on 2011-09-27 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of modern Spain is dominated by the figure of Francisco Franco, who presided over one of the longest authoritarian regimes of the twentieth century. Between 1936 and the end of the regime in 1975, Franco’s Spain passed through several distinct phases of political, institutional, and economic development, moving from the original semi-fascist regime of 1936–45 to become the Catholic corporatist “organic democracy” under the monarchy from 1945 to 1957. Distinguished historian Stanley G. Payne offers deep insight into the career of this complex and formidable figure and the enormous changes that shaped Spanish history during his regime.

Book excerpt: The third Carlos Tejada investigation Spain, 1940: Potes, a remote northern mountain village, is Carlos Tejada’s first independent Guardia Civil command. He soon discovers that this “promotion” is a mixed blessing. The villagers are unwelcoming. He and his pregnant wife, Elena, have no place to live but the jail, and his own men seem strangely hostile. Is it just their suspicion of his wife’s Republican sympathies? Or is there more going on in the beautiful but bleak area, recently devastated by the civil war? Tejada discovers that there may, indeed, be a new outbreak of that war with Potes as its epicenter. And he must find a way to reconcile his love for his wife with his duty.

Book excerpt: Nuevamente estoy aquí, presentándoles mi segunda producción literaria. Soy Migdalia Rodríguez Ríos, puertorriqueña radicada en Florida, Estados Unidos de América, me desempeño en el campo de la salud, tengo varios pasatiempos favoritos tales como, leer, escribir, la música y la jardinería. Después de haber publicado mi primer libro de poemas titulado Sueños y Esencias en Octubre del 2011, colección de temas más emocionales, configurados desde una edad muy temprana, no tenía decidido seguir escribiendo para publicar otro libro. Sin embargo la decisión se presentó automática ya que luego de salir publicado el libro, mi mejor amiga, me regaló una libreta muy bonita y curiosa, me gustó tanto, que abrirla y comenzar a escribir fue la misma acción. En ella se encuentra esta nueva colección de poemas, Inmensidad. Este libro es más jocoso y variado, hay más madurez al escribir. Desde el punto de vista del autor hay crítica social, escritos dedicados a la naturaleza, historias verdaderas narradas en poesía no sólo de experiencias del autor, sino también historias narradas por otros, mayormente escritos en primera persona. Me gusta el verso libre, pero también la rima se encuentra en mi poesía. Espero disfruten este nuevo trabajo que con la bendición de mi padre desde el cielo, me enorgullece compartir con los amantes de la poesía, familiares y amigos. Aquí, mi palabra escrita una vez más.
Download or read book The Government and Politics of Spain written by Paul M. Heywood and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1995-08-16 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the widespread attention attracted by Spain's remarkable transition from General Franco's repressive dictatorship to a dynamic democracy, this is the first comprehensive study in English of the new Spanish political system. The book introduces the main institutions and features of the contemporary Spanish state and assesses to what extent these still bear the imprint of the Francoist legacy. Despite some remaining obstacles and difficulties, Paul Heywood argues, the country is now decisively in the political mainstream of the new Europe.
Download or read book Dealing with the Legacy of Authoritarianism written by Antonio Costa Pinto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the agenda of how to ‘deal with the past’ has become a central dimension of the quality of contemporary democracies. Many years after the process of authoritarian breakdown, consolidated democracies revisit the past either symbolically or to punish the elites associated with the previous authoritarian regimes. New factors, like international environment, conditionality, party cleavages, memory cycles and commemorations or politics of apologies, do sometimes bring the past back into the political arena. This book addresses such themes by dealing with two dimensions of authoritarian legacies in Southern European democracies: repressive institutions and human rights abuses. The thrust of this book is that we should view transitional justice as part of a broader ‘politics of the past’: an ongoing process in which elites and society under democratic rule revise the meaning of the past in terms of what they hope to achieve in the present. This book was published as a special issue of South European Society and Politics.
Download or read book Security Sector Reform in Constitutional Transitions written by Zoltan Barany and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Security sector reform (SSR) is central to the democratic transitions currently unfolding across the globe, as a diverse range of countries grapple with how to transform militias, tribal forces, and dominant military, police, and intelligence agencies into democratically controlled and accountable security services. SSR will be a key element in shifts from authoritarian to democratic rule for the foreseeable future, since abuse of the security sector is a central technique of autocratic government. This edited collection advances solutions through a selection of case studies from around the world that cover a wide range of contexts.
Download or read book Policing European Metropolises written by Elke Devroe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the politics of security in city-regions is increasingly important for the study of contemporary policing. This book argues that national and international governing arrangements are being outflanked by various transnational threats, including the cross-border terrorism of the attacks on Paris in 2015 and Brussels in 2016; trafficking in people, narcotics and armaments; cybercrime; the deregulation of global financial services; and environmental crime. Metropolises are the focal points of the transnational networks through which policing problems are exported and imported across national borders, as they provide much of the demand for illicit markets and are the principal engines generating other policing challenges including political protest and civil unrest. This edited collection examines whether and how governing arrangements rooted in older systems of national sovereignty are adapting to these transnational challenges, and considers problems of and for policing in city-regions in the European Union and its single market. Bringing together experts from across the continent, Policing European Metropolises develops a sociology of urban policing in Europe and a unique methodology for comparing the experiences of different metropolises in the same country. This book will be of value to police researchers in Europe and abroad, as well as postgraduate students with an interest in policing and urban policy.

Download or read book Gone To Aragon written by Ben Tideway and published by First Edition Design Pub.. This book was released on 2015-04-03 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gone To Aragon takes the reader into and out of the sunlight in Spain via the author's easy-going account of taking risks and finding contentment in the wilds of Aragon. Ben Tideway pulled up stakes, burned bridges and fled from London to have a different life in a little pueblo in Aragon, NE Spain. The book is not a clichéd telling of hilarious incidents with builders and plumbers. It is focused on adapting to the ways of living in a small community in a rural part of a foreign country. A lot of ground is covered in the factual narrative which is interspersed in a seamless way with set pieces about some of the more colourful characters encountered during the twenty-five years he has spent in Aragon. This is a story about a man lucky enough to have found what he was looking for. Keywords: Travel, Autobiographical, Aragon, Spain, Lifestyle, Food, Integration, Anecdotal, Rural, Survival, Zaragoza
