La naturaleza y el mercado: orientaciones para una explotación agraria a finales del siglo XIX
Grupo de Investigación Historia de Salamanca (G.I.H.S.)
Este trabajo recurre a una fuente inédita para enriquecer nuestra visión de la gran explotación adehesada, que no se ciñe a los aspectos descriptivos de la finca, pues brinda diversas consideraciones sobre el cambio técnico, las características del mercado y de las comunicaciones y especialmente sobre los cambios en los sistemas de tenencia; para ello se recurre a dos conceptos no muy utilizados en historia agraria como son los de la teoría de la agencia y el de las rentas ambientales. A través de la memoria que redactó un perito agrónomo en 1889 se plantean claramente los límites que el clima y el suelo (junto con los económicos) fijan a cualquier empresa agraria. Como el destinatario de la Memoria representa fidedignamente la figura de un empresario innovador, se dispone de una perspectiva poco habitual para valorar los criterios que determinan la decisión de optar por la explotación directa o por el arrendamiento.; In this article, we adopt a novel perspective to analyse the evolution in the exploitation of dehesas (pasture-grounds) taking into consideration some relevant issues that have been traditionally overlooked. In particular, we focus on technological change, market structure, communications, and particularly the prevailing system of land possession. To address these topics, we use concepts from economic theory, such as agency theory and environmental revenue. Our analysis is based on a study written by an agricultural technician in 1889, from which we can learn about the hardships imposed by the quality of the soil and the weather, as well as other economic restrictions. This study was addressed to the land owner, who was supposed to make a decision regarding the approprite land tenancy system.

La comunidad y el monasterio: el Señorío de Santa María en el Valle de Valdeiglesias (siglos XII-XIV)
Martín Viso, Iñaki
The valley of Valdeiglesias was a part of the highlands of central Spain. The Andalusi had not established permanent control of these lends, so a traditional system of territorial organization based on settlements in these highlands and a strong system of ownership inside the community was able to survive. The Castilian kings managed to break up the pre-feudal model by creating the Monastery of Santa María, which received a patrimony of estates in the surrounding areas, providing a basis for monks` dominance over the inhabitants. Yett the kings could not supplant the old system of common pasturelands which strengthened the position of the inhabitants of the region, organized in their own council that,although not independent, controlled much of the local production. This impasse meant that Santa María de Valdeiglesias did not achieve a solid seigniorial power.

If something characterizes the great growth of the Spanish fishing sector throughout the 20th century, it is the constant adoption of technological innovations by the sector companies. The technical change process experienced by the sector up to 1961 was based on the purchase of technology, initially directly form foreign boat owners, and after the 1930s, from other subsectors of the national economy. It led to the development of a smaller series of shipyards specialized in the building fishing boats. Different track records emerged depending on the geographical region in which the fishing companies were established.

Armadores de Cádiz: competir y cooperar
Giráldez Rivero, Jesús
After the 1920s , when the exhaustion of the fishing grounds in the north forced the deep-sea fleet to search for better fishing grounds off the coast of Africa, Cadiz became one of the most important fishing ports in Spain. Its consolidation stems not only from its location near the fishing grounds and consumer markets, but also from the strategies displayed by the shipowners to ensure a series of services which allowed them to compete with the northern ports. The "Asociación de Armadores de buques de pesca" – on whose documentation this paper is based - played an important part in this process. This shipowners' organisation would bring together and organise a network of family business and would become the most suitable frame to implement the owners’ strategies: introduction of key inputs, reduction of the costs of the transactions, developing complementary activities, etc.
