This book examines the role that science and culture held as instruments of nationalization policies during the first phase of the Franco regime in Spain. It considers the reciprocal relationship between political legitimacy and developments in science and culture, and explores the ‘nationalization’ efforts in Spain in the 1940s and 1950s, via the complex process of transmitting narratives of national identity, through ideas, representations and homogenizing practices. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the volume features insights into how scientific and cultural language and symbols were used to formulate national identity, through institutions, resource distribution and specific national policies. Split into five parts, the collection considers policies in the Francoist ‘New State’, the role of women in these debates, and perspectives on the nationalization and internationalization efforts that made use of scientific and cultural spheres. Chapters also feature insights into cinema, literature, cultural diplomacy, mathematics and technology in debates on Catalonia, the Nuclear Energy Board, the Spanish National Research Council, and how scientific tools in Spain in this era fed into wider geopolitics with America and onto the UNESCO stage.

El cambio global afectará de forma importante a la biodiversidad y a los servicios ecosistémicos. El empleo de atributos funcionales de los ecosistemas a escala regional en la evaluación de las consecuencias de estos cambios se muestra ventajoso a la hora de conectar los estudios locales y globales y de cara a establecer programas de seguimiento. Sin embargo, no son muchos los trabajos a escala regional que analizan los efectos del cambio global sobre el funcionamiento de los ecosistemas de la Península Ibérica o que proporcionen una situación de referencia frente a la que comparar el efecto del uso de la tierra y de los cambios climáticos y atmosféricos sobre los ecosistemas. En esta Tesis se documentaron los patrones espaciotemporales de la fracción de radiación fotosintéticamente activa (fPAR) interceptada por parte de la vegetación actual de la Península Ibérica, así como las tendencias observadas en la misma para los ecosistemas protegidos bajo la Red Española de Parques Nacionales. También, se exploraron los controles climáticos y de usos del suelo que subyacen detrás de los patrones encontrados. Para ello, se empleó como medida integradora del funcionamiento ecosistémico un estimador del fPAR y, por tanto, de la productividad primaria neta: el Índice Verde Normalizado (NDVI) obtenido a partir de imágenes NOAA/AVHRR entre 1982 y 1999. Se utilizaron los siguientes atributos funcionales de las curvas estacionales de este índice: la integral anual, la variabilidad intraanual o rango relativo, los valores máximo y mínimo de NDVI, la época en la que se alcanzan estos valores, y las variabilidades interanuales de todos ellos. Se identificaron Tipos Funcionales de Ecosistemas que recogieron de forma sintética la heterogeneidad espacial del fPAR en la Península y cuyos patrones sugieren que el uso de la tierra modifica a escala regional los ciclos del carbono. La precipitación, la temperatura, la vegetación potencial y el tipo de uso por el cual se la reemplaza, controlaron la magnitud y el sentido de las diferencias en la dinámica del NDVI. La caracterización de atributos funcionales en áreas naturales, seminaturales y protegidas de España reveló los diferentes controles que determinan la dinámica del NDVI a lo largo de los gradientes ambientales entre la Región Mediterránea y la Eurosiberiana. El análisis sobre parques nacionales mostró algunos huecos en la Red y permitió diferenciar aquellos parques que representan tipos de funcionamiento ecosistémico singulares en el contexto ibérico, de aquellos otros que constituyen paisajes representativos del funcionamiento de gran parte de la vegetación ibérica. Además, nuestros resultados pusieron de manifiesto cómo los parques nacionales españoles, áreas con altos niveles de protección, tendieron a aumentar la productividad y a disminuir las diferencias entre las estaciones de crecimiento y de reposo en el corto plazo. En conjunto, esta Tesis ofrece una caracterización de referencia frente a la que evaluar los efectos del cambio global sobre el funcionamiento de los ecosistemas ibéricos y con la que incorporar aspectos funcionales de los ecosistemas a las políticas de conservación de la naturaleza y de mantenimiento de los servicios ecosistémicos, en concreto, los relacionados con el secuestro de carbono.

This handbook provides a comprehensive review of communication around rising global environmental challenges and public action to manage them now and into the future. Bringing together theoretical, methodological, and practical chapters, this book presents a unique opportunity for environmental communication scholars to critically reflect on the past, examine present trends, and start envisioning exciting new methodologies, theories, and areas of research. Chapters feature authors from a wide range of countries to critically review the genesis and evolution of environmental communication research and thus analyze current issues in the field from a truly international perspective, incorporating diverse epistemological perspectives, exciting new methodologies, and interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks. The handbook seeks to challenge existing dominant perspectives of environmental communication from and about populations in the Global South and disenfranchised populations in the Global North. The Handbook of International Trends in Environmental Communication is ideal for scholars and advanced students of communication, sustainability, strategic communication, media, environmental studies, and politics.

Agust Nieto-Galan argues that chemistry in the twentieth century was deeply and profoundly political. Far from existing in a distinct public sphere, chemical knowledge was applied in ways that created strong links with industrial and military projects, and national rivalries and international endeavours, that materially shaped the living conditions of millions of citizens. It is within this framework that Nieto-Galan analyses how Spanish chemists became powerful ideological agents in different political contexts, from liberal to dictatorial regimes, throughout the century. He unveils chemists' position of power in Spain, their place in international scientific networks, and their engagement in fierce ideological battles in an age of extremes. Shared discourses between chemistry and liberalism, war, totalitarianism, religion, and diplomacy, he argues, led to advancements in both fields.

This volume in the highly respected Cambridge History of Science series is devoted to exploring the history of modern science using national, transnational, and global frames of reference. Organized by topic and culture, its essays by distinguished scholars offer the most comprehensive and up-to-date nondisciplinary history of modern science currently available. Essays are grouped together in separate sections that represent larger regions: Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, East and Southeast Asia, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Oceania, and Latin America. Each of these regional groupings ends with a separate essay reflecting on the analysis in the preceding chapters. Intended to provide a balanced and inclusive treatment of the modern world, contributors analyze the history of science not only in local, national, and regional contexts but also with respect to the circulation of knowledge, tools, methods, people, and artifacts across national borders.

This book presents the research results of an interdisciplinary study on climate change policies by the Enforcing Environmental Policy (EEP) Network, a project supported by the Human Dimension Potential Programme. Contributions are from highly qualified economic and legal specialists based at research institutes across Europe. The book gives answers to several questions related to the implementation of the international rules on climate change, most notably the Kyoto Protocol. It analyses ways and means to facilitate and encourage compliance with the objectives of the Kyoto Protocol. It is addressed to policy-makers, academics, business-sector and stakeholders throughout and outside Europe. Due to its interdisciplinary approach, this work is a distinctive and unique product compared to the existing literature on the subject. The effective implementation of climate protection and clean air policy requires an understanding of the political, legal and economic structures and constraints facing policy makers - and this is exactly what this book offers.

An exploration of how writers, artists, and filmmakers expose the costs and contest the assumptions of the Capitalocene era that guides readers through the rapidly developing field of Spanish environmental cultural studies. From the scars left by Franco's dams and mines to the toxic waste dumped in Equatorial Guinea, from the cruelty of the modern pork industry to the ravages of mass tourism in the Balearic Islands, this book delves into the power relations, material practices and social imaginaries underpinning the global economic system to uncover its unaffordable human and non-human costs. Guiding the reader through the rapidly emerging field of Spanish environmental cultural studies, with chapters on such topics as extractivism, animal studies, food studies, ecofeminism, decoloniality, critical race studies, tourism, and waste studies, an international team of US and European scholars show how Spanish writers, artists, and filmmakers have illuminated and contested the growth-oriented and neo-colonialist assumptions of the current Capitalocene era. Focussed on Spain, the volume also provides models for exploring the socioecological implications of cultural manifestations in other parts of the world.

This volume brings together perspectives from scholars of different scientific backgrounds endeavouring to understand and debate the interactions and relationships between humans, nonhuman species and natural ecosystems in order to overcome the classic human/environment dichotomy. Through discussions informed by the humanities, arts, social and natural sciences, the book deals with the way different disciplines approach this relationship. These diverse perspectives are compared to enable a cross-cutting analysis of human/nature interface throughout history. Changes forced by the utilization of resources and habitats, as well as climate changes are analysed and discussed, enhancing the importance of a multifaceted approach for a better understanding of the complexity of both the human/world relationship and diverse interspecies connections and impacts.
