RESEARCH STAY AT UC3M: BARTOLOME DE LAS CASAS RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF HUMAN RIGHTS

PROJECT: Seminars and research are devoted to the themes of legal transplants and Spanish geopolitics. The research on Spanish geopolitics is still going on and focuses on Spanish relationship with East Asia, and particularly with Japan, from 1850 to the Second World War. It aims at documenting the peculiar relationship between Spain and Japan during the Meiji Era – a rather different one if compared with other Western States, and object of few studies thus far.
