Anti-fascism makes working or fighting against fscism the top priority, and two basic types of anti-fascism emerged in Europe and North America from 1936 to 1945. The first was revolutionary; the second was conservative and even counterrevolutionary. From the Munich Agreement to the fall of France, and in the face of strong isolationist opposition, US counterrevolutionary anti-fascists—who are usually labeled "interventionists" in the historiography—articulated to an increasingly sympathetic public how fascist regimes jeopardized the United States' national security and way of life.

Historical writing has emphasized that Spanish rule was considered legitimate in the American colonies until the beginning of the 19th century. Th is was also the case for subaltern groups. But the question how political order in rural regions could be stabilized is less clear. Th e article seeks to shed light on this question by investigating the role of local crown offi cials in the province of Oaxaca in New Spain. It particularly emphasizes the symbolic dimension of their performance in fulfi lling their job. ; En la historiografía se enfatiza que la dominación española en las colonias americanas se consideró legítima hasta principios del siglo xix, y esto es válido para las clases subalternas también. Sin embargo, todavía no queda muy claro cómo se consolidó el orden político en el medio rural y en las comunidades indígenas. En este ensayo la mirada se detiene en los funcionarios del gobierno local en la provincia de Oaxaca, en el virreinato de la Nueva España, a fi n de responder a este interrogante a partir de un análisis de la dimensión simbólica de su gestión administrativa.

Com la seva generació, Valls és marcat per la Guerra Civil i la repressió franquista. Per això veié la humanitat des del realisme polític pessimista i agonista; i cercà fonamentar filosòficament un «nosaltres» que acabés amb la lluita de tots contra tots. Analitzem els seus atacs als «nosaltres» construïts sobre la classe, la cultura o nació, la societat civil o el «jo» individual, l'emotivisme i el moralisme, que són impotents i alimenten el natural «agonisme» humà. A canvi, Valls primer va creure trobar el «nosaltres» en l'Església, però se'n desmarcà radicalment i només confià en una versió hegeliana de l'Estat. En aquest article, fem un balanç de l'obra i la docència acadèmica del professor recentment desaparegut ; Like the rest of his generation, Valls was marked by the Spanish Civil War and the Francoist repression. Therefore he viewed humanity from realpolitik, pessimistic and agonistic; he searched to give a philosophical base to an "we" which would end the struggle of one against another. We analyze his attacks on "we" built on class, culture or nationality, civil society o the "I" individual, emotivism or moralism, which are impotent and feed the natural human "agonism". Instead, Valls first thought he'd found the "we" in the church, but then changed radically and only trusted the Hegelian version of the state. In this article we take a balance of the work and teaching of the recently departed professor

Entre agosto y septiembre de 1991, los Países Bálticos forzaron su ruptura con la Unión Soviética, pocos meses antes de que ésta se desintegrara totalmente. A partir de ese momento, la recuperación de su independencia y soberanía nacional -fraguada por primera vez en la época de entreguerras y frustrada por el pacto germano-soviético de 1939-, así como la consolidación de la democracia y el Estado de Derecho y la economía social de mercado, fue de la mano de su aspiración de integración en la Unión Europea y en la Organización del Tratado del Atlántico Norte. Después de más de una década de grandes transformaciones, tanto políticas como socioeconómicas, los tres Países Bálticos -Lituania, Estonia y Letonia- han logrado cumplir con éxito aquellos dos objetivos fundamentales para su futuro en paz, libertad, prosperidad y seguridad en el siglo XXI: el «retorno a Europa» en el marco de la Unión Europea y su vinculazión a la alianza militar euroatlántica dentro de la OTAN. ; Between August and September 1991, the Baltic States forced their break with the USSR, just a few months before the latter disintegrated. From that moment on, the recovery of national independence and sovereignty – first established during the inter-war period only to be thwarted by the pact between Germany and the Soviet Union in 1939 – as well as the consolidation of democracy, the rule of law and a market economy, were given impetus by their desire to join the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. After more than a decade of major transformations, both political and socio-economic in nature, the three Baltic States – Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia – have successfully achieved the two fundamental prerequisites for a future of peace, liberty, prosperity and security in the twenty-first century: their «return to Europe» as members of the European Union and their link with the Euro-Atlantic military alliance as members of NATO. ; El presente trabajo se inscribe en un proyecto de investigación (realizado conjuntamente con el prof. Dr. Ricardo Martín de la Guardia) sobre el ideal europeísta y su influencia en los países de la antigua Europa del Este en el camino de éstos hacia su integración en la Unión Europea. Dicho proyecto de investigación ha sido apoyado por el Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte mediante la vinculación del autor como «Salvador de Madariaga Fellow» al Instituto Universitario Europeo de Florencia en los años 1999 y 2003 (para este último año: Resolución de 28 de marzo de 2003, BOE 15 de abril de 2003).

Since they appeared, the studies of Science, Technology & Society (STS) have been interested in education as the key to help the citizens of tomorrow to participate in the discussions dealing with the future of technoscience. In Spain, the STS subjects became part of the secondary school programs since the educational reform. Nevertheless, the analysis of the textbooks used in Catalonia shows that a deterministic vision of science & technology - both of them thought as entities with their own logic of development, independent from social reality - coexists with a neutralistic conception, which considers technoscience as a basic tool that can be used by humanity either in a correct or an incorrect way. The student has the perception that science & technology shape the social reality, but that are somehow independent from society.
