The Kurdish Genocide
The director of the Department of the Rey Juan Carlos University, Sara Núñez de Prado, brings us one of the saddest events in the history of Europe and the world. The Kurdish people, made up of various tribes and clans, have never been able to reach an agreement among themselves, which has made them vulnerable and unable to establish themselves as a state. Being a rich piece of land and a former crossroads for major overland trade routes, it hasn't helped much either. For all this, the Kurdish region has always been a disputed area between countries such as: Turkey, Syria, Iran and Iraq
"What is told in this book is the tragic story of this people who have never managed to find their own permanent territory and who have suffered within themselves the curse of possessing natural wealth as important to today's society as oil," adds Sara Nunez de Prado.
Studies on the Idea of Excellence in Europe (15th–18th Centuries), Virtus Vera Nobilitas Est.
José Antonio Guillén Berrendero and Gijs Versteegen, professors in the Modern History area of the Department of Educational Sciences, Language, Culture and Arts, Historical-Legal and Humanistic Sciences and Modern Languages of the URJC, have recently published a book in the prestigious publishing house Peter Lang. Studies on the Idea of Excellence in Europe (15th–18th Centuries), Virtus Vera Nobilitas Est. is a collective work in which the collaborations of different researchers from Italian, French or Spanish universities can be found, and which offers a vision very novel with respect to studies on the socialization of virtue in the Modern Age.
The work, which forms part of the work and lines of research of the URJC High Performance Group (CINTER) and the Emerging Group (ITEM), has the collaboration of other professors from the Rey Juan Carlos University, such as Professor Teresa Martialay Sacristán, Vera-Cruz Miranda Menacho and Jorge Fernández-Santos Ortiz-Iribas.
unlimited terrorism
This book approaches a little known phenomenon of ETA. And it is that it demonstrates the existence of a network of organizations destined to expand the internationalism of the terrorist group. The IRA, the Red Army Faction, the MIR or the FARC were some of the contacts that ETA sought outside our borders.
José Manuel Azcona and Miguel Madueño, professors at the URJC in the Contemporary History Area, bring us an essay on the continuous search for foreign support that would legitimize their violent actions, which led to links with other terrorist groups, insurgents, located in transnational crime and even with sovereign governments
