In my eight years as a professional journalist, I have been a front line observer of the extreme level of violence which occurs everyday in our society. As victims, consumers or perpetrators of violence, this phenomenon is now a part of our existence. As a reporter for the Spanish national newspaper El País I have been witness to the most terrible acts of violence. In Venezuela, with one of the highest rates of criminality in the world, I saw piles of bodies stacked up in mortuaries. In Argentina, I reported on the most brutal crimes including the rape of children by policemen. I believe that my interest in the manifestations and causes of violence was aroused during my time as a journalist. On a personal level, I was deeply affected by the twin poles of attraction/repulsion which the violent images produced in me. The first time I visited New York in 2003, I talked to various people who were selling photos of the victims of the Twin Tower attacks. They had laid out their wares along the wire fence that separated Ground Zero from the main public areas. One particular photograph made an indelible impression on my mind: a ghost like corpse covered in white dust which was streaked with blood. It is an image I will never forget. If I remember well, a complete album of these gruesome images cost about ten dollars. At the same time, I also became interested in islamic terrorism: its complexity and the great impact it has made on Western society. One only has to look at the front page of the press around the world to read about war, terrorism or the constant violation of human rights. The words Al-Qaeda, Daesh, Boko Haram and Islamic State have sadly become parts of our everyday language. The nihilistic philosophy which promisess eternal life in exchange for self-inmolation is a new, highly worrying reality, especially painful when it involves young people who become indoctrinated through the social media. They have become the most loyal supporters of a fanatical and uncompromising version of Islam. The stark reality is that these young recruits to Jihad (holy war) were born in places like London, Paris, Rome or Madrid...

La tesis se proponte contribuir, desde la historia de empresas, al estudio del proceso de industrialización en la Argentina agroexportadora, entre 1870 y 1930. Para ello analiza la trayectoria y las estrategias de tres tipos de actores representativos de dicho proceso: un grupo económico diversificado (el Grupo Devoto), una empresa industrial mediana, de origen inmigrante y propiedad familiar (Grimoldi) y una empresa multinacional con filial de producción en Argentina (Pirelli). Los tres casos son desarrollados incluyendo referencias al contexto histórico, a otros actores de características comparables y a aspectos teóricos relativos a su forma de organización. Para su reconstrucción se han utilizado fundamentalmente fuentes provenientes de los archivos de las empresas, guías de sociedades anónimas, informes del Departamento de Comercio de los Estados Unidos y fuentes judiciales. Objetivos y resultados Desde los estudios de caso la tesis tiene como uno de sus objetivos develar aspectos de la industrialización temprana de la Argentina que no son perceptibles en aproximaciones macroeconómicas o sectoriales, identificando los recursos y capacidades que sustentaron las inversiones de las empresas consideradas, así como los resultados de sus decisiones en el desarrollo de la industria local. A partir de la comparación entre los casos seleccionados se intenta también identificar algunos rasgos característicos de la primera fase de la industrialización del país y, más en general, de los procesos de industrialización tardía. En base a la evidencia empírica que ofrecen dichos casos, se busca asimismo establecer un diálogo entre teoría e historia que permita examinar, y eventualmente revisar, aspectos conceptuales referidos a los grupos económicos como forma organizacional, a la relación entre inmigración y empresarialidad, a la problemática de la empresa familiar y a la internacionalización de empresas...
