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

De

  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...

DEMOCRATIC EROSION IN SPAIN DURING THE GOVERNMENTS OF PEDRO SÁNCHEZ (2018-2026) (LA EROSIÓN DEMOCRÁTICA EN ESPAÑA DURANTE LOS GOBIERNOS DE PEDRO SÁNCHEZ )

De

  Political Analysis Report This report goes beyond a diagnosis of the Spanish case. Its most original contribution is one that confronts a persistent blind spot in the academic literature on democratic erosion: the tendency to associate the phenomenon exclusively with radical populisms of the right and left. Spain demonstrates that erosion can also emerge from the centre of the political system, from a party belonging to the European social-democratic tradition, a member of the Party of European Socialists, governing within the framework of the European Union and NATO. The cases of Romania, Albania, and Malta — analysed in comparative perspective — confirm that there exists a recognisable pattern of institutional deterioration within the European socialist family that has until now not received the academic scrutiny it deserves.

THE END OF THE ORBÁN ERA Illiberal Democracy, Electoral Defeat and Global Consequences (EL FIN DE LA ERA ORBÁN Democracia iliberal, derrota electoral y consecuencias globales)

De
Imagen
      Political Analysis Report On April 12, 2026, Hungary experienced an unprecedented electoral upheaval: the Tisza party, led by Péter Magyar, secured 138 of the 199 seats in Parliament, stripping Viktor Orbán of a two-thirds supermajority after sixteen years of uninterrupted governance. With a turnout nearing 80%—the highest since the fall of communism—Hungarians brought an end to what the author terms the grand experiment of European "illiberal democracy." The report reconstructs Orbán's ascent since his return to power in 2010: the passing of a tailor-made new Constitution, the systematic capture of the media under the KESMA platform, the subordination of the judiciary, and the creation of a clientelistic oligarchy that transformed corruption into the essential lubricant of the system. Added to this institutional framework was a risky geopolitical wager: the alliance with Putin and Trumpism, which ultimately isolated Hungary within the European Union and blocked m...

CRISIS, PARADIGMS AND RECONFIGURATION OF THE WORLD ORDER Major economic crises as catalysts of political-ideological change (1945-2026) CRISIS, PARADIGMAS Y RECONFIGURACIÓN DEL ORDEN MUNDIAL Las grandes crisis económicas como catalizadores del cambio político-ideológico (1945-2026)

De

    Political Analysis Report The historical analysis traces four major cycles. The first is the Keynesian postwar order (1945–1973), built upon the Bretton Woods agreements, which combined market capitalism with strong state intervention and gave rise to the so-called "Thirty Glorious Years" — decades of sustained growth and declining inequality. The second cycle begins with the oil crisis of 1973, which introduced stagflation — simultaneous inflation and unemployment — a phenomenon that Keynesianism could neither explain nor resolve, thereby opening the way for the neoliberal revolution of Thatcher and Reagan. The third cycle encompasses the collapse of Soviet communism (1989–1991), which consecrated liberal globalisation and the so-called "end of history", albeit with the notable exception of the Chinese model of state capitalism without liberal democracy. The fourth cycle, initiated by the Great Recession of 2008, exposed the contradictions of financial neoliber...

THE PERMANENT ENERGY WAR. Fossil fuel dependence, geopolitical shocks and the limits of the green transition (LA GUERRA ENERGÉTICA PERMANENTE Dependencia fósil, choques geopolíticos y los límites de la transición verde)

De
Imagen
    Political Analysis Report This report uses the crisis Iran war) as a lens through which to examine a structural reality that the conflict has made suddenly visible, but which has been building for decades. Despite forty years of climate commitments, falling renewable costs and record clean-energy investment, fossil fuels still accounted for eighty-six per cent of global energy consumption in 2024 — the same share as in 1984. The Persian Gulf, with over half the world's proven oil reserves and a single sea outlet at Hormuz, remains the indispensable node of a system that has never found a durable alternative. The bypass capacity around the strait covers, at best, one quarter of normal flows; the remaining fifteen million barrels per day have nowhere else to go.

The Fracture of the World in the Twenty-First Century Empires, Hegemony, the Crisis of the Liberal International Order, and the End of the Rules (La fractura del mundo en el siglo XXI. Imperios, hegemonía, crisis del orden internacional liberal y fin de las reglas)

De

  Political Analysis Book The work argues that the Liberal International Order (LIO), constructed after 1945 and expanded following the Cold War, faces its greatest existential crisis. The author's fundamental thesis is that this crisis is unique because it is being produced through a "dismantlement from within". While external revisionist powers (China and Russia) challenge the order, it is the very power that architected and guaranteed it, the United States—especially under the Trump phenomenon—that is voluntarily renouncing its hegemonic role and the multilateral rules, accelerating a transition towards a world of anarchy or neo-imperial spheres of influence.
