“…This fact was responsible for the current depopulation of rural areas dominated by agriculture and the subsequent land abandonment or land-use intensification brought about by the introduction of agricultural machinery [54]. Parallel to this geographical process, national conversion plans for large-size rainfed croplands to irrigation [55] and national forestry policies for reforestation using eucalyptus and pine trees were prevalent in these rural areas [56].…”

Rangelands and grasslands occupy now more than 3 million ha in the Iberian Peninsula representing one of the most valuable ecosystems. They are particularly interesting due to their great geographical spread and heterogeneity in land management. Significant changes have been undergone in the last 60 years affecting vegetation. The main goal in this study was to compile existing information about the changes in the Iberian rangelands and grasslands, their geographical distribution, typologies, main characteristics as well as past and recent land management based on a thorough bibliographical review and serious research. This has been subdivided into five large groups according to climate and human drivers: (1) Mediterranean rangelands and steppes, (2) oceanic grasslands, (3) mountainous meadows, (4) semi-arid steppes and (5) Portuguese rangelands and grasslands. Two milestones over the past 60 years were remarkable as main driving forces: rural exodus in the 1960s and 1970s and Spain and Portugal joining the European Union in 1986. They have provoked both processes of intensification and extensification at the same time on different scales. Many farms have been progressively fragmented using wire fences, and the numbers of livestock have been significantly increased. Land abandonment and grazing exclusion have provoked a large shrub encroachment of species such as Retama sphaerocarpa or Cistus ladanifer.

Causas de la restricción eléctrica en el primer franquismo: una aportación desde la historia empresarial

Nuestro trabajo tiene dos objetivos. El primero y más importante es proponer una nueva causa de las restricciones eléctricas sufridas durante el primer franquismo, consistente en las implicaciones que tuvo para el sector eléctrico el pacto firmado en 1934-36 entre Saltos del Duero y las empresas agrupadas en lo que se dio en llamar grupo hidroeléctrico. Por este convenio, Saltos del Duero se erigió en productor dominante y el grupo hidroeléctrico en distribuidor en dos zonas de España, la centro y la norte-noroeste, lo que convirtió a Duero en el principal decisor en materia de nuevas construcciones. Dicho pacto implicó un radical conflicto de intereses entre Duero, a quien le convenía moderar sus inversiones hasta tener garantizada la colocación de la nueva producción, y el grupo hidroeléctrico, deseoso de disponer de energía abundante. Los gestores de Duero, dominados por los problemas y la mentalidad de los años treinta, cuando el problema era la falta de demanda, dificultaron la respuesta de la oferta. El segundo objetivo, por último, es mostrar nuestras dudas acerca de la relevancia que tuvo la congelación de las tarifas en las decisiones de inversión.

The professionalization and institutionalization of computing in Spain had a turning point in the mid-1970s, resulting from the crisis of Franco's dictatorship and the establishment of a constitutional democracy in 1976. One of the key players was the Association of Information Technology Technicians (Asociación de Técnicos de Informática, ATI), whose activities included demands for better working conditions in the computing industry, the promotion of academic programs in computer sciences and the lobbying for the regulation of computing to preserve privacy and personal freedom. In contrast with Europe and the United States, where the Information Technology sector grew without professionalization, nor unionism, ATI's claims and commitments were coherent with wider cultural, economic and political changes in the country, and were inspired by the climate of contemporary left-wing opposition to the Francoist regime in Catalonia. However, once democracy was established, the political and trade union activism of the Association declined to almost disappear.
