The main purpose of this article is to present the results of a research project on the political participation of Latin American migrants in Andalusia (mainly in the cities of Seville and Huelva). The project uses a broad concept of what political participation constitutes, including both civic practices and activities associated with conventional politics, and adopts a transnational perspective. It is based on 45 semi-structured interviews with politically active migrants and members of political parties and other institutions. The article highlights some of the main findings of the research, including the importance of taking into account migrants' previous political experiences, as well as the role played by migrant associations in order to better understand their political practices. ; Peer reviewed
Twenty-five civil groups have constituted a communication forum in Andalusia in order to demand the regional government their participation in the drafting of the future regional law on audiovisual communication. For this purpose, since last May they have been carrying out an informative campaign consisting of several activities, such as de-bates among their members, workshops and local gatherings with the aim of raising awareness among local citizens about the need for a free access to the media and in-formation. One of their main objectives is to achieve a participative law that regulates the society's right to have its own media to ex-press itself, agreed between government and civil representatives. This forum also wants this law to end with the monopoly of li-censes owned only by a few and request the Andalusian Government a definition of the television as a public service. Lastly, they demand the local authorities more licenses to civil organizations and the regulation of community radio stations that would allow them to develop in a dignified way ; Veinticinco colectivos ciudadanos han constituido en Andalucía un Foro de Comunicación para reclamar a la Administración su participación en la redacción de la futura Ley Audiovisual autonómica. Para ello, desarrollan desde mayo de 2013 una campaña informativa con debates entre sus integrantes, talleres y encuentros provinciales con la finalidad de concienciar a la ciudadanía de la necesidad de acceder libremente a la información y a los medios. Uno de sus objetivos es conseguir una ley participada en la que quede regulado el derecho de la sociedad civil a contar con medios de comunicación propios para expresarse. Además, proponen a la Administración andaluza que la futura Ley defina a la televisión como un servicio público y evite la concentración de licencias en manos de pocos operadores. Por último, exigen la concesión de licencias al Tercer Sector y la regulación de las emisoras comunitarias para que puedan desarrollarse dignamente

AbstractThis article describes the design of the "First Comprehensive Strategic Plan for Volunteering and Citizen Participation in Andalusia," which establishes the priorities and strategies for promoting citizen engagement in the Autonomous Community of southern Spain. The drawing up of the strategic plan was developed in two phases. First, a theoretical analysis of the effective practices for promoting citizen participation was conducted. Second, the opinion of a total of 35 representatives of Third Sector organizations was obtained. The review of evidence‐based practices made it possible to identify 13 basic strategies for community awareness, education for participation, volunteer management, and the development of inter‐organizational networks. Next, 19 interviews were conducted with representatives of the most prominent social entities in the region and two participatory workshops with 16 leaders of the volunteer movement in Andalusia were held. The results showed the existence of a consolidated social fabric, with a "community of practice" constituted over two decades in which awareness‐raising and training strategies have been effectively combined to promote volunteering. Representatives of the Third Sector consider educational strategies for participation as a priority, such as service‐learning, early participation experiences during adolescence and the training of volunteers and members of associations. On the other hand, although social organizations are aware of the need to adapt to new forms of participation (more individualized, one‐off, or episodic), they generally defend strategies that contribute to a higher level of organizational commitment. The resulting plan integrates measures to promote participation and volunteering through cross‐cutting actions.
Paper presented at the Seminar on 'Devolution and Public Policy', ECPR Standing Group on Regionalism, University of Edinburgh, 22-3, October 2004. Published in: Regional and Federal Studies, 15 (4), 519-535, Dec. 2005 ; Decentralization of the Spanish welfare state has stimulated regional policy innovation. A 'demonstration effect' among all Spanish Comunidades Autónomas has so far acted as a policy equalizer. In Andalusia, where a strong sense of common identity is widely shared, the regional government (Junta) has implemented new welfare policies which have contributed to consolidate its institutional legitimacy. This paper reviews the process of decentralization in Spain. It concentrates on the 'catching up' quest articulated by Andalusia to gain a similar status and degree of autonomy as those achieved by the 'historical nationalities' (Basque Country, Catalonia and Galicia). ; Peer reviewed
The heyday of Islam in the plains of Europe cannot be separated from a city located in the Southwest of the European Continent, Andalusia. In its heyday, the city gave birth to many influential figures with monumental works that were used as references by Muslims in their time and the world at large. The existence of strong figures and monumental works would not have been possible without an established education system in preparing them. This article uses content analysis to analyze the Islamic education system in Andalusia. The author uses the social history approach as study material. The source of the data used comes from the literature such as books, journals and so forth. The purpose of writing this article is to find out the Islamic education system in the heyday of Andalusia and the underlying factors. The results of the analysis of this paper conclude that the Islamic education system in Andalusia at the beginning was still limited to halaqah which discusses Islamic studies. Gradually, this system evolved into the kuttab system, which is the schools around the mosque, which were the forerunners of the establishment of Ma'had Aly. There are many factors that underlie the success of Islamic education in Andalusia at that time. Among these are tolerance between religious communities, cultural assimilation, equal rights and democracy, an established economy, government politics and academic collisions between the east represented by Baghdad and the west represented by Andalusia.
Abstract This article focuses on the concept of the 'social-democratic' dliemma through the study of the Spanish region of Andalusia. Led by social democrats since the democratic Transition, the Andalusian government has developed a specific territorial model that has been challenged by the austerity measures adopted by the conservative cabinet ruling the central state (2011–15). Through a grass-roots interview-based analysis of Andalusian politics, this study elucidates the political and discursive strategy followed by the Andalusian government for preserving its power, protecting its regional model and resolving the social-democratic dilemma. From a systemic perspective, the article demonstrates that exogenous constraints, though heightened in a period of economic crisis, are to an extent counteracted by domestic pressures.
The Organic Law 2/2006, of 3rd of May, and the Organic Law 8/2013, of 9th December, for the Improvement of Quality in Education (LOMCE) establish the importance of reading as a quality education factor. The Andalusian Government promoted, under the Instructions of 30th of June 2013, the implementation of linguistic programs in order to encourage and support global projects based on the linguistic communication improvement (including non-linguistic subjects) focusing on reading, creativity, writing and multiple literacies. This paper aims to present linguistic programs and projects implemented in Andalusia as a way of sharing good teaching practices. Programs are divided in two groups according to level of participation of teachers. On the one hand, the only program of level 1 is the School Language Project. It requires the participation of 50 % of teachers and it promotes the educational innovation in order to build a linguistic project that will take part in the annual plan of the centre (including all areas). It is also linked to the integrated language curriculum that tries to implement the same structure and strands for Spanish as a mother tongue and English and French as foreign languages. On the other hand, level 2 programs required the participation of 10 % of teachers of an educational centre. These are: Classic Readings, Reading Families, Literary Creativity and Communication. Each program contains a syllabus with different activities and a collaborative space with a specialised community of teachers that are available on line (Portal de Lectura de la Junta de Andalucía). Examples of good teaching practices and projects will be shown during the paper to assess teachers of all areas and to be taken as a referee in other regions and countries. ; Universidad de Málaga.

This paper analyzes the 6000 Grant programme introduced in Andalusia in the 2009-2010 academic year with the aim of reducing early educational dropout, focusing on students from very low income families enrolled in post-obligatory non-university courses. The research undertakes a descriptive analysis using the data provided by the General Directorate of Participation and Equity of the Junta de Andalucía, regarding the evolution of the number of beneficiaries, the coverage rate, distribution by gender, and the effects on performance. Furthermore, on the basis of the analysis of the legislative texts, we discuss questions concerning the definition of the beneficiaries, the requirements for retaining the grant, and the monitoring strategies contained in the institutional design of the programme. Finally, we analyze the impacts and limitations of the programme from the recipients' viewpoint.
Andalusian anarchism was a grassroots movement of peasants and workers that flourished in Cádiz Province, the richest sherry-producing area in the world, from about 1868 to 1903. This study focuses on the social and economic context of the movement, and argues that traditional interpretations of anarchism as irrational, spontaneous, or millenarian are not justified. The extensive archival research undertaken for this book leads Temma Kaplan to a major reinterpretation of the nature of anarchism. Using the police reports in local archives to reconstruct the lives of more than three hundred rank-and-file anarchists, Temma Kaplan shows that the Andalusian movement was highly organized and dedicated to defending the interests of workers and peasants through a wide variety of organizations. These included trade unions, workers' circles, and women's societies, all of which favored general strikes and insurrections rather than terrorism.Originally published in 1977.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
