We test the importance of the three 'p factors' (performance, process and probity) to explain the evolution of political trust in Spain between 1997 and 2019. To this end, the study analyses two longitudinal datasets, namely, a repeated cross-sectional dataset from the Spanish samples of Eurobarometer and an individual-level panel survey conducted during a period of economic recovery in 2015. The study finds that perception about corruption and political process matter greatly in shaping political trust and to a lesser extent economic performance. Although the Great Recession is likely responsible for the sharp decline in trust towards political parties and the parliament between 2008 and 2012, the analysis suggests that trust in representative institutions remains low even after the Recession because of a series of devastating incidents regarding corruption and perceived shortcomings of the political process. In contrast, the study finds certain indications that trust in the judicial system might have been mainly affected by perceptions of corruption.

La Asociación Económica Integral Regional, más conocida como la RCEP (por sus siglas en inglés), es un acuerdo de libre comercio firmado por 15 países de la región de Asia-Pacífico en noviembre 2020 y en vigor desde enero de 2022. Tras una presentación general de este acuerdo, este artículo examina las negociaciones y la situación actual de la RCEP para, a continuación, centrarse en su contenido básico, especialmente desde una perspectiva jurídica, pues se analiza el marco institucional, la regla de decisión, sus fuentes jurídicas y el sistema de solución de controversias, aunque sin relegar totalmente su estudio desde un punto de vista económico.

Comunicació presentada a: SafeCorfu 2019, the 6th International Conference on Civil Protection & New Technologies, celebrat a Corfu, Grècia, del 6 al 9 de novembre de 2019. ; The INGENIOUS project (EU Horizon 2020) aims to develop, integrate, test, deploy, demonstrate and validate a Next Generation Integrated Toolkit (NGIT) for Collaborative Response, which ensures high level of Protection & Augmented Operational Capacity to respond to the disaster scene. This will comprise a multitude of the tools and services required: 1) for enabling protection of the first responders with respect to their health, safety and security; 2) for enhancing their operational capacities by offering them with means to conduct various response tasks and missions boosted with autonomy, automation, precise positioning, optimal utilisation of available resources and upgraded awareness and sense‐making; 3) for allowing shared response across first responders teams and disciplines by augmenting their field of view, information sharing and communications between teams and with victims. The NGIT armours the FRs at all fronts, by delivering novel, affordable, accepted and customised response tools and services as part of their uniform and as part of their operational assets. The NGIT will be provided at the service of the FRs for extensive testing and validation (at component and Toolkit levels) in the framework of a rich Training, Testing and Validation Programme – of Lab Tests (LSTs), Small‐Scale Field Tests (SSTs) and Full‐Scale Field Validations (FSXs) – towards powering the FR of the future being fully aware, fully connected and fully integrated. ; This work is supported by the projects INGENIOUS, which has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 (H2020) programme under grant agreement No:833435.
