No other book of this detail and conceptual richness has been published on this issue. -Professor Marino Regini Facolta di Scienze Politiche, Universita degli Studi di Milano .,. .Royo argues that macro-social concertation is alive (if not always, well) in Spain and Portugal precisely because it is not the same thing.
