Spain 2016: Our Social Reality

In 2008 the main macroeconomic markers had a negative evolution. It was the beginning of the global depression, which was the end of the Spanish dream of our welfare state, the one that was so hard to consolidate.

The depression had extended over and above the economy to the institutional, political and social fields, and lengthening more than seven year until the day of today. We know its consequences and we needn’t enumerate them, but we could emphasize a relatively unknown phenomenon until recently: the emergence of social movements which are aimed at changes in the economical and productive model, as well as challenging the political system, claiming for a democratic renovation.

Against this background, the Technical University of Cartagena and Campus of International Excellence Mare Nostrum are organizing these conferences under the name of  “ ESPAÑA 2016: NUESTRA REALIDAD SOCIAL” (In English, Spain 2016: OUR SOCIAL REALITY), intending to carry out the analysis of some of the various dimensions and variables that conform the social structure of Spain, deeping in the identification of social issues and the social change developed, focusing in the triggered phenomena following the depression from 2008 to present.
