Poder y liderazgo femenino en los medios: Experiencias laborales de las comunicadoras de TVE
En España, los últimos avances en materia de igualdad no han evitado que la Corporación de Radiotelevisión Española sea hoy una empresa pública donde las mujeres siguen estando infrarrepresentadas en puestos de responsabilidad. En el caso de Televisión Española (TVE), la feminización de su redacción no ha servido para revertir esta tendencia. Con el objetivo de ahondar en la relación que mantienen las periodistas de TVE con el poder, se ha seguid…

Gerrymandering to survive: An explanation of the political conditions that shaped mayors’ decisions over an amalgamation process in Portugal
This paper aims to reveal the conditions under which local political actions lead to the amalgamation of sub-municipal units (SMUs) in Portugal. Considering the singularity of the reform design, the paper analyzes how mayors used gerrymandering to reshape SMU borders. The results show that the mayors, as rational political actors, dealt with situations of political vulnerability by opting for alternative maps that guaranteed an increase in their …
Women Leadership at the Apex. The Distinctiveness of Urban Women Mayors in Europe
Women occupy leadership positions at all levels of government. While the topic has been extensively investigated and referred to national legislatures, other venues remain under-researched. By focusing on the mayoral office, this article aims at contributing to fill the research gap regarding the local government arena and specifically executive positions. Drawing on a survey of around 2,600 European mayors, the study investigates whether women a…
Local governments and aging policies: An analysis of municipalities in the region of Madrid
Local governments are increasing their efforts to provide services to older adults ranging from health and care for dependents to leisure and cultural activities. Despite the widespread adoption of the active aging paradigm, the intensity of the aging process and the capacity and preferences of local governments to address the consequences of aging are not uniformly distributed. This study examines variations in local government responses to agin…

From centralisation to new ways of multi-level coordination: Spain’s intergovernmental response to the Covid-19 pandemic
This article studies the Spanish response to COVID-19 from an inter-governmental relations perspective. Despite its high degree of territorial decentralisation, a strong centralisation movement characterised Spain’s first months of dealing with the crisis. But once the first wave of contagions was overcome, regions regained their space and new types of vertical coordination between central and regional governments were put in place. Standing apar…
La remunicipalización de la gestión del agua en España: Barreras legales frente a narrativas exitosas
As a result of the austerity policies applied in Europe after the global economic crisis, some of the New Public Management proposals were reactivated, particularly the outsourcing of public services. Given the negative and unforeseen consequences, observed in many cases after its implementation, a set of opposite reforms emerged as the economic situation improved. Re-municipalization strategies or return to public hands of previously privatized …
Patterns of Local Autonomy in Europe
Mayors and Local Government in Spain (Introduction)
This research has been financed by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness: \n«Una nueva arquitectura local: eficiencia, dimensión y democracia» (CSO213-48641-C2-1-R)
The social base and career development of Spanish mayors
The growing corpus of studies about political elites in Spain has tended to focus on national and regional parliaments and executives, rather than on the municipal level of government. And yet, it is in these local settings that politicians acquire skills and political experience, develop their notions of democracy, and often start their political careers. Exploring patterns of political recruitment in Spanish local democracies allows us to look …

In wealth and in poverty?’ The changing role of Spanish municipalities in implementing childcare policies
In the context of more than a decade of economic expansion that ended in 2008, Spanish municipalities were active in expanding their functions through vigorous policy-making in numerous areas. The crisis meant that town halls had difficulty in providing these services and, in 2013, the central government approved a re-centralization policy driven by the belief that local governments had brought about unsustainable patterns of expenditure. Using a…
Mercury Exposure in Ireland: Results of the Democophes Human Biomonitoring Study
The study demonstrates the benefit of human biomonitoring for assessing and comparing internal exposure levels, both on a population and an individual basis. It enables the potential harmful impact of mercury to be minimised in those highly exposed, and can therefore significantly contribute to population health
Validity of self-reported prevalent cases of stroke and acute myocardial infarction in the Spanish cohort of the Epic study
BACKGROUND: Information on the validity of self-reported cases of stroke and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is varied. The aim of this study was to assess the validity and agreement of self-reported prevalent cases of stroke and AMI in the Spanish cohort of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). METHODS: At recruitment, 1992-1996, and in the follow-up (3 years after recruitment), each participant in the Spanis…
Prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Murcia Region, a southern European Mediterranean area with low cardiovascular risk and high obesity
Prevalence of MS is high in our population, is comparable to that found in northern Europe and varies with the definition used. Adherence to preventive recommendations and to adequate weight promotion is very low. In the absence of a specific treatment for MS, integrated intervention based on a sustained increase in physical activity and changes in diet should be reinforced
Metropolitanization of Spanish Urban Areas: Trends, Challenges and the Special Case of Madrid
Urban growth and metropolitanization have characterised the spatial development of Spain in the second-half of the twentieth century. However, there is as yet no stabilised institutional model of how to respond to the governance challenges that Spanish metropolitan areas face. The article explores the organisation of metropolitan governance in Madrid, Spain's largest metropolitan area. It argues that state reforms in the wake of democratisation, …
Administrative Tradition and Reforms in Spain: Adaptation Versus Innovation
The main purpose of this paper is understanding public administration formation and change in Spain. Its development before and since the years of Franco from 1939 to 1975, is noticeably path dependent in nature. As this paper will show, the foundations were laid before the Franco regime. Then came a period of political domination of the bureaucracy and the emergence of a key structural element of Spanish administration, the special corps. The pa…

Cardiovascular risk estimated after 13 years of follow-up in a low-incidence Mediterranean region with high-prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors
In the Region of Murcia, smoking accounted for the largest proportion of cardiovascular risk, whereas hypertension displaced hypercholesterolemia as the second leading cause of CV disease. Our study deepens in our understanding of the cardiovascular epidemiology in Spanish areas of Mediterranean Europe with relatively high cardiovascular morbimortality, that are poorly represented by the available risk equations
A cross-sectional analysis of the associations between adult height, BMI and serum concentrations of IGF-I and IGFBP-1 -2 and -3 in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Ep…
Height and BMI are associated with IGF-I and its binding proteins, which may be mechanisms through which body size contributes to increased risk of several cancers
General and Abdominal Adiposity and Risk of Death in Europe
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have relied predominantly on the body-mass index (BMI, the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) to assess the association of adiposity with the risk of death, but few have examined whether the distribution of body fat contributes to the prediction of death. METHODS: We examined the association of BMI, waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio with the risk of death among 359,387 partici…
Occupation and skin cancer: The results of the Helios-I multicenter case-control study
