The French Uprising of October 2026. Revolts and Polycrisis: Barricades and Ballot Boxes (El estallido francés de octubre 2026. Revueltas y policrisis, las barricadas y las urnas)

Imagen
    Political Analysis Report Between 16 and 18 October 2026, France lived through three days in which the State seemed to lose control: marches of hundreds of thousands of people, looting in Paris, Lyon, Marseille and Limoges, a burned-out Town Hall, and the declaration of a curfew. A week later, the streets were filling up again and the protest crossed the border to Barcelona, Milan and other European cities. Is this just one more outburst, or the beginning of something longer?

Sánchez’s PSOE on the Edge of the Illiberal. A Drift from a Position of Weakness in European Social Democracy (El PSOE de Sánchez en el borde de lo Iliberal. Una deriva desde la debilidad en la socialdemocracia europea)

Imagen
    Political Analysis Report Is it possible for a consolidated democracy at the heart of Western Europe to slide its institutions toward the brink of illiberalism without formally breaking the constitutional framework? In Sánchez’s PSOE on the Brink of Illiberalism , the author offers a rigorous and systematic analysis of Pedro Sánchez’s eight years of government in Spain (2018–2026). Far from partisan proclamations and the clichés of daily political squabbles, this book applies a transparent evaluation method—supported by a six-dimension grid and objective evidence scales—to unravel Sanchismo ’s method of governance and its impact on democratic quality.

BASE AND SUPERSTRUCTURE: FALSIFIABILITY AND LIMITS OF HISTORICAL MATERIALISM (BASE Y SUPERESTRUCTURA_FALSABILIDAD Y LÍMITES DEL MATERIALISMO HISTÓRICO)

Imagen
  Political Analysis Report This essay subjects one of the most influential categories in the social sciences to a critical examination: the Marxist thesis, formulated in the 1859 preface to A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy , asserting that the economic base of a society determines, in the last instance, its political, legal, and ideological superstructure. Without adopting a militant stance or dismissing historical materialism out of hand, the author evaluates which elements of this scheme retain explanatory value, which have been refuted by subsequent historical research, and which alternative theoretical frameworks offer greater explanatory power today. English version of the book at this link (PDF 82 pages) Presentation-Summary Visual Informe de análisis político Este ensayo somete a examen crítico una de las categorías más influyentes de las ciencias sociales: la tesis marxista, formulada en el prólogo de 1859 a la Contribución a la crítica de la economía p...

The selectorate in a fragmented democracy. The logic of political survival of Pedro Sánchez's governments (2018-2026) (El selectorado en una democracia fragmentada)

Imagen
  Political Analysis Report This political science essay examines the political survival logic of the governments led by Pedro Sánchez in Spain (2018–2026) through the lens of Selectorate Theory. Departing from simplified or purely situational interpretations, the author utilizes this formal political economy framework to demonstrate that governmental action during this period responds to a predictable and systematic incentive structure. The methodological starting point introduces a conceptual extension to the classic model: the distinction between the formal selectorate (the broad and stable body of eligible voters in Spain) and the functional survival coalition (the small core of parliamentary actors whose concurrence and specific support are indispensable in every vote to prevent the fall of the Executive).

The cultural war as a contemporary political phenomenon (La guerra cultural como fenómeno político contemporáneo)

Imagen
      Political Analysis Report This academic essay analyzes the "culture war" as one of the fundamental axes of political polarization in contemporary democracies across Europe, the United States, and Latin America. Moving beyond oversimplified analyses, the work investigates the origins, dynamics, and causal mechanisms of these conflicts centered around moral values, collective identities, and worldviews, assessing the extent to which they represent a defensive conservative backlash or a mutation of class struggle following the collapse of the Soviet bloc. English version of the book at this link (PDF 96 pages) Presentation-Summary Visual Informe de análisis político Este ensayo académico analiza la «guerra cultural» como uno de los ejes fundamentales de la polarización política en las democracias contemporáneas de Europa, Estados Unidos y América Latina.

POLARIZED DEMOCRACIES Political Polarization and the Crisis of Representation in the Contemporary World (DEMOCRACIAS POLARIZADAS Polarización política y crisis de representación en el mundo contemporáneo)

Imagen
  Political Analysis Report The essay "Democracias Polarizadas" by Jesús Sánchez Rodríguez (June 2026) offers a profound diagnosis of the crisis of contemporary democracies, characterized not as a conjunctural phenomenon, but as a structural transformation in which the adversary is perceived as an enemy. The author argues that current polarization—observed from Latin America to the United States and Europe—is a symptom of a crisis of representation and of the loss of the idea of the common good. Unlike the historical episodes of the interwar period or the Cold War, this fracture is "post-ideological" and "liquid": populist movements, both of the right and of the left, lack coherent utopian projects and base their success on the contestation of the system and on resentment, rather than on programmatic proposals.

Betrayed Democracy: Political Loyalties, Structural Irrationality, and Institutional Degradation (La democracia traicionada: lealtades políticas, irracionalidad estructural y degradación institucional )

Imagen
      Political Analysis Report Betrayed Democracy: Political Loyalties, Structural Irrationality, and Institutional Degradation is a political science essay by Jesús Sánchez Rodríguez that addresses a central paradox of contemporary democracies: why do parties that betray their voters, accumulate corruption, and fail to keep their promises not only survive electorally, but in many cases retain massive support? The author's central thesis is that this apparent irrationality is not an isolated anomaly within the system, but rather a structural feature of mass representative democracy. The system generates, more or less inevitably, the conditions for its own deterioration.

Mapping Political Thought The Great Western Traditions and Their Contemporary Challenges (Cartografía del pensamiento político Las grandes tradiciones occidentales y sus desafíos contemporáneos)

Imagen
  Political Analysis Book In Amazon What is the relationship between the individual and society? What makes a political order legitimate? Is freedom compatible with equality? These questions are not new, but they acquire renewed urgency at a moment when the postwar liberal consensus shows deep cracks, collective identities assert their place against individualism, and structural inequalities put the foundations of democratic coexistence to the test. Mapping Western Political Thought is an exercise in comparative analysis that traverses the great traditions of contemporary political philosophy with the purpose of illuminating the deep assumptions underlying each one: their conception of the subject and of the community, their vision of human nature, and their response to the question of the origin and legitimacy of the political. The itinerary begins with the two great traditions that have dominated modern debate. Liberalism is examined in all its internal plurality, from class...
