• Sommario/riassunto: China Versus the West is an innovative book. The author, a leading specialist on the international and Asian economy and business, presents the most comprehensive picture of the changing power balance between the emerging superpower China and the ""old"" developed economies of the West: mainly the US, Europe and Japan.

• Sommario/riassunto: Angel Vâzquez, né à Tanger en 1929 et mort à Madrid en 1980, a publié trois romans : Se enciende y se apaga una luz en 1962, Fiesta para una mujer sola en 1964 et La vida perra de Juanita Narboni en 1976. Sa reconnaissance littéraire fut immédiate puisque le prestigieux prix Planeta lui fut décerné pour son premier roman. En 1991, La vida perra de Juanita Narboni figurait dans la sélection des dix romans espagnols les plus importants depuis la transition démocratique, réalisée par la revue Quimera. La spécificité de l'écrivain tangérois s'explique par ses origines géographiques et son itinéraire individuel. Ángel Vâzquez a grandi hors d'une Espagne meurtrie et déchirée qu'il ne découvrit qu'en 1965. Son éducation et sa formation se sont faites dans une ville, Tanger, caractérisée par son métissage culturel et son activité intellectuelle et artistique exceptionnelle. Cette étude se propose de retrouver l'itinéraire d'un homme, d'un créateur, par ailleurs emblématique de celui d'une génération d'"émigrés" très particuliers et de faire connaître cette littérature du Maroc hispanophone.
