Während Jahr für Jahr die Strände der Balearischen Inseln Mallorca und Menorca Tausende von Kurzurlaubern anlocken, entdecken immer mehr Touristen auch die landschaftlichen Schönheiten im Landesinneren. Über die Geschichte und die Kultur ist der breiten Öffentlichkeit allerdings wenig bekannt, obwohl archäologische Grabungen viele neue Einsichten in die frühgeschichtliche Kultur der ersten Siedler eröffnet haben. Mit diesem Buch stellt Mark Van Strydonck erstmals in verständlicher Sprache diese wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse zusammenfassend für die Zeit dar, bevor der römische Konsul Quintus Caecilius Metellus im Jahre 123 v. Chr. die Inseln für die römische Republik eroberte. Der Autor führt den historisch interessierten Leser zu den Talayots und Taulas, Bauten, die es nirgendwo sonst gegeben hat und berichtet von dem ganz eigenen Bestattungsritus der Kalkgräber sowie von den Naviform-Häusern der ersten Siedler. Man erfährt, was es mit dem Myotragus, einer heute ausgestorbenen balearischen Ziegenart auf sich hat, wie die Inseln geologisch entstanden sind und wie sich Fauna und Flora entwickelt haben. Zusammen mit 100 Abbildungen stellt dieses Buch einen wertvollen Reisebegleiter für alle dar, die mehr als nur die Strände Mallorcas und Menorcas besuchen wollen. Mark Van Strydonck ist Leiter des Radiokarbon-Labors am Royal Institute of Cultural Heritage in Brüssel (Belgien). Während 25 Jahren arbeitete er mit bekannten spanischen, amerikanischen und englischen Forschungsinstituten zur archäologischen Erforschung der Balearen zusammen und ist zu einem der besten Kenner von Geschichte und Kultur Mallorcas und Menorcas geworden.

Anhand einer empirischen Fallstudie wird der Konflikt zwischen Spanien und ETA aus einer transnationalen Perspektive betrachtet. Es geht darum zu zeigen, wie das Exil der ETA in Mexiko die politischen Beziehungen zwischen Spanien und Mexiko vom Etablieren des Exils ab 1977 bis zur ersten Auslieferung 2000 bestimmte und welche Rückwirkung das Thema ETA in der Außenpolitik auf den nationalen Konflikt hatte. This case study looks at the conflict between Spain and ETA from a transnational perspective. It analyzes the exile of ETA members to Mexico as part of the foreign policy between Spain and Mexico, from the beginning of the post Franco exile in 1977 until the first extradition in 2000. In these years ETA was not only a constant topic of the bilateral agenda, but shaped decisively the development of the diplomatic relations and the national conflict itself.

Diplomacy as a family business. The Casatis as Spanish-Milanese envoys in Lucerne and Chur (1660-1700)The astonishing family career of the Casatis contradicts widespread impressions of early modern diplomacy. This monograph explains how a Spanish-Milanese diplomatic dynasty shrewdly managed, using a highly complex network of confessional, social and cultural connections, to concentrate and deploy its resources upon key actors, and put itself beyond competition from potential challengers. “Other than following God and their own self-interest, this people knows no further impulse,” was the devastating judgment of Alfonso Casati in 1674 concerning the Swiss Confederates. The diplomats nonetheless had to accommodate the needs of these local hosts, or lose their trust and that of their royal employer, the Spanish king. In order to fulfill the demands placed upon him as a diplomat, Alfonso Casati, like most envoys in early modern Europe, periodically reached into his own pockets. In contrast to many contemporaries, however, he did not respond to the costly requirements of the job by seeking to be relieved of his duties. On the contrary, he laid the ground for ensuring that his own son became the fourth generation representative in a nearly continuous position held by the same family. Tapping extensive source materials which are interpreted from the perspective of various historical actors, this study not only reconstructs the position and influence of an extraordinary diplomatic family, but also shines new light on a colorful history of patronage, corruption and politics in the external relations of the Confederacy and Graubünden.

This study examines the discourses of nationalism as they intersected or clashed with Spanish film production from its inception to the present. While the book addresses the discourses around filmmakers such as Almodóvar and Medem, whose work has achieved international recognition, Spanish National Cinema is particularly novel in its treatment of a whole range of popular cinema rarely touched on in studies of Spanish cinema. Using accounts of films, popular film magazines and documents not readily available to an English-speaking audience, as well as case studies focusing on the key issues of

Roman Turdetania makes use of the literary and archeological sources to provide an updated state of knowledge from a postcolonial approach about the socio-cultural interaction processes and the subsequent romanisation of the populations in the southern Iberian Peninsula from the 4th to the 1st centuries BCE. The resulting communities shaped a new identity, hybrid and converging, resulting from the previous Phoenician–Punic substrate vigorously coexisting with the new Hellenistic-Roman imprint.

In view of the challenges—many of which are political—that different European countries are currently facing, scholars who work on the eighteenth century have compiled this anthology which includes earlier recognitions of common values and past considerations of questions which often remain pertinent nowadays. During the Enlightenment, many men and women of letters envisaged the continent’s future in particular when stressing their hope that peace could be secured in Europe. The texts gathered here, and signed by major thinkers of the time (Rousseau, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Kant, Hume or Staël for instance), as well as by writers history has forgotten, present the reflections, with a couple of chronological extensions (from Sully to Victor Hugo) of authors from the long eighteenth century—the French Empire and the fall of Napoleon generated numerous upheavals—on Europe, its history, its diversity, but also on what the nations, which, in all their diversity, make up a geographical unit, have in common. They show the historical origins of the project of a European union, the desire to consolidate the continent’s ties to the Maghreb or to Turkey, the importance granted to commerce and the worries engendered by history’s convulsions, but also the hope vested in future generations.
