Strategic assessment of transport infrastructure Plans on European integration. Application for the Spanish Strategic Transport and Infrastructure Plan 2005-2020

Traditional transport infrastructure assessment methodologies rarely include the full range of strategic benefits for the transportation system. One of these benefits is the contribution to cross-border integration. However, this is a key issue in strategic planning and decision-making processes, as its inclusion may increase the probability of large-scale transport infrastructure projects being funded. This paper presents a methodology for the measurement of the contribution of Transport Infrastructure Plans to cross-border integration. The methodology is based on the measurement of the improvement in network efficiency in cross-border regions of neighboring countries, via accessibility calculations in a Geographical Information System (GIS) support. The methodology was tested by applying it to the ambitious road and rail network extensions included in the Spanish Strategic Transport and Infrastructure Plan (PEIT) 2005-2020. The results show significant and important network efficiency improvements of the PEIT outside the Spanish border. For the road mode, while the Spanish average accessibility improvement accounts for 2.6%, average improvements in cross-border regions of France and Portugal are of 1.8%. And for the rail mode, the corresponding Spanish value is 34.5%, whereas in neighboring regions it accounts for 20.2%. These results stress the significant importance of this strategic benefit and the consequent need for its inclusion in strategic planning processes. Finally, the paper identifies the potential of the methodology when applied at different administrative levels, such as the local or state levels

How To Turn Society Upside Down Being An Outsider: Gender, Sexuality and Class in Titus Andronicus and Edward II.

Este ensayo analiza cómo ciertos personajes que pertenecen a lo que consideraríamos como minorías (ya sea por motivos de género, sexualidad o clase) de las obras de teatro Titus Andronicus (1593) y Edward II (1592) ponen en peligro las estructuras de poder y la escala social de las sociedades en las que se desarrollan dichas obras. Utilizando estos personajes marginales, tanto William Shakespeare como Christopher Marlowe nos demuestran lo sencillo que, pese a tratarse del análisis de dos ficciones, podría resultar poner en jaque el status quo. Por otra parte, dando protagonismo a estos personajes parias, ambos escritores ponen en primer plano las vicisitudes a las que se enfrentaban las personas no pertenecientes a las élites. Tomando como referencia las actitudes y acciones de Tamora, Lavinia y Piers Gaveston analizaré como son capaces de dejar atrás su papel de sometidos para transformarse en personajes que llevan cambio, la muerte y la destrucción a las esferas de las clases más elevadas.<br /
