Resum: Els orígens i la trajectòria mateixa de l’Estudi General de Girona (1446-1717) són força mal coneguts encara, sobretot per unes mancances documentals que semblen de mal solucionar a curt i potser a llarg termini. En aquestes pàgines s’ofereix, doncs, una síntesi de l’evolució del vell Estudi gironí, tot remarcant el seus inicis més aviat tardans, a la segona meitat del segle xvi, és a dir, un segle després de l’obtenció del pertinent privilegi reial. Aquesta lenta arrencada de la universitat gironina es pot explicar per les vicissituds polítiques, econòmiques i religioses tant del període com de la ciutat de Girona. Paraules clau: Universitat, Girona, Època moderna, Estudis superiors Abstract: The origins and the secular evolution of the Estudi General de Girona are not yet well known because of a notorious lack of sources. Such a problem does not seem to have an easy solution in the short and even long term. Therefore, only a general view can be offered at the moment. Such a survey remarks the laborious beginnings of the old Girona university, a century after the perceptive royal permission was given. Besides, the long way of the Estudi is related to the political, economic and religious events of the period, as well as the city. Key words: University, Girona, Early Modern History, University studies

The sites of memory, in Pierre Nora's perspective (1993), are spaces of eternalization of a memory's group that can no longer be spontaneously evoked by collective memory. There is a large dispute between the State and the social movements regarding the preservation of historical heritage that alludes to the Brazilian military-business coup (1964-1985) in Rio de Janeiro. We intend to think the political place of these sites of memories, consulting the patrimony of spaces and buildings which advocate for the coup and dictatorship, in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The policy that has been practiced so far by the State can be defined as conciliatory. However, the social movements demand the insertion of their voices in these places, considering them, silenced or forgotten. We are interested in analyzing these disputes and how they reflect on society. Key words: Brazilian military-business dictatorship; memory; patrimony.

After thirteen long years of military dictatorship, national elections on the basis of adult franchise were held in Pakistan in December 1970. The Awami League, led by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and the Pakistan Peoples Party, under Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, emerged as the two majority political parties in East Pakistan and West Pakistan respectively. The political party commanding a majority in one wing of the country had almost no following in the other. This ended in a political and constitutional deadlock, since this split mandate and political exclusiveness gradually led to the parting of ways and political polarization. Power was not transferred to the majority party (that is, the Awami League) within the legally prescribed time; instead, in the wake of the political/ constitutional crisis, a civil war broke out in East Pakistan which soon led to an open war between India and Pakistan in December 1971. This ultimately resulted in the dismemberment of Pakistan, and in the creation of Bangladesh as a sovereign country. The book under review is a political study of the causes and consequences of this crisis and the war, based on a reconstruction of the real facts, historical events, political processes and developments. It candidly recapitulates the respective roles of the political elites (both of India and Pakistan), their leaders and governments, and assesses their perceptions of the real situation. It is an absorbing narrative of almost thirteen months, from 7 December, 1970, when elections were held in Pakistan, to 17 December, 1971 when the war ended after the Pakistani army's surrender to the Indian army in Dhaka (on December 16, 1971). The authors, who are trained political scientists, give fresh interpretations of these historical events and processes and relate them to the broader regional and global issues, thus assessing the crisis in a broader perspective. This change of perspective enhances our understanding of the problems the authors discuss. Their focus on the problems under discussion is sharp, cogent, enlightening, and circumspect, whether or not the reader agrees with their conclusions. The grasp of the source material is masterly; their narration of fast-moving political events is superbly anchored in their scientific methodology and political philosophy.
