Resumen El carlismo de los primeros años del siglo xx estaba dirigido por Matías Barrio y Mier, un tradicionalista, abogado y catedrático, al que don Carlos —Carlos VII para los carlistas—, nombró su delegado en diciembre de 1899, tras la dimisión del marqués de Cerralbo. Este profesor continuó ejerciendo la representación carlista hasta su muerte en junio de 1909, dejando un partido que había superado la crisis de 1900 y que buscaba su propio espacio público. Por otro lado, se ha visto que a don Carlos en aquellos años le preocupaba, más que la situación política o económica de España, constatar que no estaba dispuesto a abdicar en su hijo don Jaime y que, en la última sublevación carlista de 1900, él no había tenido participación. Por tanto, se ha considerado necesario mostrar la defensa que hacía el pretendiente de sus derechos dinásticos, contextualizándola con los cruciales momentos de la Historia de España en los años de la delegación de Barrio y Mier. Palabras clave: carlismo, don Carlos, Barrio y Mier, don Jaime, Feliú, marqués de Cerralbo   Abstract The carlism of early twentieth century. Carlism directed by Matías Barrio y Mier, a traditionalist, a lawyer and professor, which don Carlos, Charles VII to the Carlists, named his deputy in December 1899, following the demission of the Marquis of Cerralbo. This teacher continued to exercise the Carlist representation until his death in June 1909, leaving a party that had overcome the crisis of 1900 and sought their own public space. On the other hand, it has been seen that don Carlos in those years was concerned, rather than the political situation or economic of Spain, finding that it was not willing to abdicate in his son don Jaime and the last Carlist uprising in 1900, he had not been involved. Therefore, it was considered necessary to show the defense that made the suitor of his dynastic rights, contextualizing the crucial moments in the history of Spain in the years of the delegation of Barrio y Mier. Key words: carlism, don Carlos, Barrio y Mier, don Jaime, Feliú, Marquis of Cerralbo

The Relationship

This chapter examines the twentieth-century British press in its imperial and transnational contexts. It demonstrates how Britain's imperial press system, which developed during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to allow news to flow around the British empire, increasingly failed to serve British geopolitical interests from the mid-twentieth century onwards. It considers the relationship between the British government and the news agency Reuters, and the role of the Empire Press Union. It argues that although contemporary journalists often emphasised the importance of the ideal of press freedom when talking about their profession, state intervention in the affairs of news agencies represents a significant thread in the history of the twentieth-century British press.

Abstract The history of Khaldunian readings in the twentieth century reveals an analytical capacity of non-Orientalists definitely greater than that demonstrated by the Orientalists. The latter, at least until the 1950s, prove to be prisoners of that syndrome denounced by Edward Said’s Orientalism (1978), which projected on Islamic historical development a specificity and an alterity, which make it an exception in world history. Orientalist scholarship has often wanted to see in Ibn Khaldūn’s critical attitude to the philosophy of al-Fārābī and Averroes only the confirmation of the primacy of the sharīʿa over Platonic nomos. This article seeks to highlight some aspects of Ibn Khaldūn’s critique of classical political thought of Islamic philosophy. His critique focuses on the importance given to the juridical dimension of social becoming, and to the role of the political body of the jurists in the making of the City. Those aspects witness Ibn Khaldūn’s effort to interpret change and fractures as factors which make sense of history and decadence.

Constitutional Revolution

The history of both modern Turkey and modern Iran have often been told through their founding figures, Atatürk and Reza Shah, whose state-building projects are often assumed to have been similar. This chapter compares the Young Turk Revolution in the Ottoman Empire of 1908 with the Constitutional Revolution in Iran in 1906 to point to both similarities and differences in the trajectories of these two countries in the early twentieth century. Both revolutions, it is argued, were foundational moments for the political development and processes of each country and are key to understanding the context in which Atatürk and Reza Shah emerged.

This chapter discusses first the general cosmological principles which lie behind Plutarch’s historiographical work, such as can be recovered through significant passages of his Delphic Dialogues. Second, it investigates the reasons why Plutarch wrote biographies, and more specifically parallel biographies, instead of outright histories: in this way, Plutarch aimed to emphasize, on the one hand, the dominant role of individual personalities in the political world of his own time, and, on the other hand, the mutual and exclusive relevance of Greece and Rome in the history of human culture. Third, the chapter seeks to connect the rise-and-fall pattern, typical of biography, with the general rise-and-fall pattern which Plutarch recognizes both in the Greek and in the Roman civilizations; through that connection one can rule out the idea that Plutarch had any providential view of history. Finally, some reflections are offered on Nietzsche’s special interest in Plutarch’s biographies.

There is a wide belief that sport has a positive utility in the diplomatic arena and can be used as a catalyst for cooperation. The very instrumental effectiveness of sport gave a birth to the idea that sport can be used effectively to promote contact between or among hostile countries. This idea was adopted by the governments of the two Koreas and a sport agenda was used as a pretext for initiating official dialogues between the two countries. Throughout the history of South–North dialogues, we can find some cases of success and other cases of failure. Some successful dialogues brought concrete results of cooperation, while other unsuccessful dialogues ended only as pre-steps that did not develop into cooperation or negotiation. Thus our attention should go to two directions. One is “what is the main force which drove the two Koreas to open a sport dialogue?” The other is to find out “why sport dialogues between the two Koreas succeed in some cases but not others”. This article aims to review the role of sport as an instrument or a catalyst for cooperation. The author divides the whole period of dialogues into several phases and examines the role of sport. After reviewing the success and failure of dialogues, the author argues for sport to be used as a tool for dialogue, the strategic choice of the actors being the prerequisite. The author emphasizes that strategic choices made by the governments of the two Koreas play an important role when casting sport as an instrument to develop relations, which is explained with the framework of simple 2 × 2 games. In line with this, this article explores the strategic thoughts of the two Koreas by reviewing the political intentions, situations of the time, contextual connectivity and strategic thinkings of two Koreas.

AbstractPresent discussions about the history of Israel pay a great deal of attention to the question of Israel as an ethnic group with a prominent, distinguishable and unique identity. By means of empirical facts, this article aims to show that the Israelite tribes were subjected to many different and divergent influences during the settlement period which contributed towards their identity. Because of limited space this article will concentrate only on the political identity but it does not deny the other important historical dimensions pertaining to the discussion. The political situation is therefore an instrument to illustrate that ethnical identity is not shaped in a vacuum, but is dependent upon events taking place in their vicinity. They form part of an allencompassing process. The conclusion drawn from this discussion is that Israel should not be understood as an identifiable entity, because history does not allow existing identities to stagnate, but strives to affirm and to renew.

This article analyses the parallels between the role played by the Church, first during the Crisis of the Liberal State in the early twentieth century and then during the transition from the Christian Democratic regime to the ‘bi-polar’ Second Republic more than 70 years later. It explores both the particular, contingent forces at work in each, and the underlying explanations as to why the Church was able to successfully exploit these two processes of transition in the political history of Italy to its advantage. It concludes by arguing that the experience of these two crises demonstrates that the Church is not only a powerful force in Italian civil society but also effectively ‘a state within a state’ in relation to the functioning of Italy's political structures.

The conquest of Cyprus by the Ottoman Empire in 1571 had an impact on the growing Muslim population there. However, the majority Muslim population does not make Northern Cyprus adopt Islam as the official religion of the country. This article aims to analyze the roots of secularism in Northern Cyprus, some of which are caused by British government policies, the rise of Kemalism, the emergence of Alevism and Linobambaki, and the repression of Sufi orders at the end of Ottoman rule. Besides, the political situation in Turkey turned out to have an impact on Northern Cyprus, where Turkey sought to implement the Islamization policy there.
