Contemporary Spain: Handbook, A

Description: This handbook to contemporary Spain and the Spanish language is packed with essential information on politics, economy, and institutions, covering the basics that are taken for granted by most Spaniards. Intended for readers without specialist knowledge in any of the subjects concerned, this is a valuable handbook for English-speaking students of Spanish. Review: I have no hesitation in recommending [the book] particularly for students of A level Spanish and above, but also for adults studying Spanish at almost any level.The Lecturer Contents: Introduction - contemporary Spain in context; the Spanish state; political parties; regions and regionalism; interest groups; the Spanish economy; environment; education; social welfare; law and order.
