Western countries have traditionally managed and imposed their model, values and interests to the rest of the international community (they are used to calling and representing themselves as the international community as a whole). They usually are the privileged of the system, well adapted and confident. The international liberal order is institutionalized in a series of organisms, most of them born in the postwar period and enlarged and fortified after the cold war. Regional alliances like NATO and universal economic intergovernmental organizations like the International Monetary Fund are victorious and embody the western establishment. However, last years are characterized by the decay and crisis of the political values defended by Europe and the USA. ; Los países occidentales han gestionado e impuesto tradicionalmente su modelo, valores e intereses para el resto de la comunidad internacional (se utilizan a llamarse y representarse a sí mismos como la comunidad internacional como un en su totalidad).

RESUMEN. Los cambios sociales experimentados por nuestro país en las últimas tres décadas del siglo XX alcanzan de forma ineludible el ámbito educativo. Si asumimos como válida la premisa de que el microcosmos educativo y, concretamente, el ámbito curricular de la lengua inglesa acompasan su evolución a los cambios mencionados podríamos afirmar que el ámbito escolar reproduce, al tiempo que resiste y transforma, el tipo de relaciones que caracterizan la sociedad en la que se inscribe. ; ABSTRACT. The social changes which our country has gone through in the last three decades of the twentieth century inevitably reach the educational field. If we assume the premise that the educational microcosms and, more specifically, the English Language curriculum, levels its evolution to the already mentioned changes, we can state that the educational field reproduces, resists and transforms, the relationships which characterize the society it is inscribed in.

Transport costs are a crucial element of any spatial economic model. Surprisingly, good transport cost estimates at a detailed spatial level for the EU are not readily available. In this paper we address this issue by estimating a novel dataset of road freight transport costs for goods for the EU regions at the NUTS 2 level. In the spirit of the generalized transport cost (GTC) concept, we calculate the composite cost related to distance and time for the optimal route of a representative truck. We consider routes between large random samples of centroids drawn from a 1kmx1km population density grid. These transport costs are averaged to obtain an origin-destination cost matrix (in euros) at the region-pair level. The sampling approach also allows calculating the average transport cost within the regions. We separately report the corresponding iceberg transport costs for each pair of European regions, since this is the form of input required by many economic models. We also consider the effect of changes in the components of the GTC in order to evaluate transport policies. We set up a transport policy tool to assess the impact of road-transport infrastructure investment in a region by considering upgrading roads to highways. We apply this tool to study transport infrastructure investment through the European Cohesion Policy program 2014-2020.
