Abstract: In the first place, we will refer to the current conceptions of international development and in particular to the human development approach, showing the contribution that a spiritually ori- ented approach to development can make especially in relation to the latter. Second, after defin- ing the meaning of the sphere of spiritual values in relation to development as a fundamentally qualitative dimension, we will describe the capacities of reflexivity and relationality as the two main means by which the former can be accessed. Third, we will present the different actors and spheres involved in a spiritually oriented international development, emphasizing that this approach understands the sphere of spiritual values as an open domain that penetrates and influ- ences market, government, family, society, culture and religious spheres. Fourth, we will offer some examples of current practices that seek to promote a spiritually oriented international development. Finally, we will make conclusions, including problems and challenges that today presents a spiritually oriented approach to international development.

The essential University missions are the education and the research. This last one is able to generate new knowledge an inovation for the companies. The economic competition between the European Union and advanced and underdeveloped countries is a permanent challenge.To take it up, the European Union has created the European Research Area as a structuring tool for the research coming from the european countries.The financing of collaborative international research project by the seventh Framework Programme encourage the searchers of various laboratories to collaborate.Like Europe, the states, the institutes define their international research policy. If the international experiences of such institutes is an element of reseachers progress, it is also an opportunity of freedom for their job. ; Les principales missions de l'Université sont la formation et la recherche. Cette dernière est source de nouvelles connaissances et d'innovation pour les entreprises. La compétition économique que livre l'Union Européenne aux pays développés et les pays en émergence est un défi permanent.Pour répondre à ce challenge, l'Union Européenne s'est engagée dans un processus de structuration et de mutualisation de la recherche des pays membres au sein de l'Espace Européen de la Recherche. En finançant par l'intermédiaire du 7ème programme cadre des projets communs de recherche, l'Union Européenne incite les chercheurs à se regrouper pour collaborer.A l'instar de l'Europe, les Etats, les institutions diverses définissent leur politique de relations internationales en recherche.Si l'ouverture internationale est un élément de progrès et d'épanouissement pour le chercheur, c'est aussi un espace de liberté pour son travail.

The social support an individual receives influences his or her state of physical and mental health. Intimate relationships (family and friends) are the greatest source of social support and, among them, the partner plays a critical role in providing aid. The economic crisis we are experiencing since 2008 has shown the relevance of personal networks to provide help and is testing the extent of solidarity among families and friends. In Southern countries families are playing an important role to assist their less fortunate members. This paper focuses on people in couples and analyzes whether there are international differences in the role of the partner and the parents as providers of support. The analysis applies Esping-Andersen's classification of welfare regimes to study to whom one turns when one needs domestic, economic, or emotional help. The database used is the module on social support, "Social Relations and Support Systems (Social Network II)" of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP), performed in 2001. Specifically, we have chosen national samples (of individuals over 18 years of age) of people with a stable partner (married or living together), from Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, East and West Germany, Great Britain, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, and the United States. We confirm that people in liberal and social democratic countries turn more to elective relationships such as partner and friends, while people in conservative and Mediterranean countries seek support in parents. ; Universidad de Málaga.

Leidenschaften, Emotionen und Irrationalität prägen bis heute den Blick auf den Spanischen Bürgerkrieg und die Internationalen Brigaden. Dazu zählt sowohl das Bild der Internationalen Brigaden als "antifaschistische Helden", wie auch die Auffassung, dass es sich bei ihnen um "moskauhörige Söldner" gehandelt habe. Ziel des Buches ist, einen entscheidenden Beitrag zur Versachlichung und Entmythologisierung dieses kontrovers diskutieren Themas zu leisten. Dabei stehen die Mechanismen der Herausbildung dieser Truppe aus zusammen gewürfelten Freiwilligen, ihre internen Auseinandersetzungen sowie die vielfältigen Beziehungen zu ihrer Umgebung im Mittelpunkt. Zum anderen stellt die Untersuchung die Lebenswirklichkeit der einfachen Soldaten und die Handlungsmöglichkeit der Führung dar; so kommt das Buch einer inneren Wirklichkeit der internationalen Brigaden auf die Spur, die bislang unbeachtet blieb. Die Studie versteht sich darüber hinaus als Baustein für die Erforschung der Geschichte der kommunistischen Arbeiterbewegung. Ansprüche und Wirklichkeit der kommunistischen Ideologie und ihrer historischen Handlungsträger werden innerhalb der Internationalen Brigaden dechiffriert und analysiert. Konkreter als bisher und ohne Vorbehalte fragt Angela Berg nach den Zielen deutscher kommunistischer Entscheidungsträger in Spanien, wie sie diese zu realisieren versuchten und auf welche Grenze sie dabei stießen
