The series Understanding Ibero-American Spaces and Dynamics provides a scholarly platform for the publication of rigorous and innovative research addressing the contemporary conditions of Ibero-American societies and cultures. It covers a broad range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, including political science, sociology, economics, linguistics, and studies of natural and cultural heritage. By publishing both monographs and edited volumes, the series encourages intellectual exchange across methodological and thematic boundaries. Reflecting the diversity and complexity of Ibero-America within a global academic framework, it aims to advance comparative inquiry and contribute to a deeper understanding of the region’s evolving dynamics in an interconnected world.

Volume 1. 2025. Pathologies of inequality in Latin America. Challenges and consequences. Authors: José Antonio Alonso and Rodolfo Gutiérrez
The first volume of the Understanding Ibero-American Spaces and Dynamics Series offers a compelling analysis of the persistent and structural patterns of inequality across Latin American societies. Drawing on empirical investigations, the volume examines how economic, social and political dimensions intertwine to reproduce exclusion and marginalisation. The authors explore the legacies of colonialism, the role of institutions and the impact of globalisation in shaping Contemporary disparities. Special attention is given to the paradox of growing wealth alongside enduring poverty, and how democratic governance has struggled to address entrenched gaps. Positioned within the “Understanding Ibero-American Spaces and Dynamics” series, the book provides both theoretical insights and policy-oriented reflections for scholars, practitioners and regional actors interested in one of the most unequal regions of the world.

The Handbooks of Ibero-American Studies constitute a systematic and comprehensive reference work within the interdisciplinary field of Ibero-American Studies. They address overarching themes and structural dynamics that define the Ibero-American macro-region, encompassing Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula as its core, as well as areas connected through enduring historical, cultural, political, and socioeconomic linkages. Each volume assembles contributions from leading international scholars that synthesize major developments in the field, critically assess the current state of research, and delineate trajectories for future scholarly advancement. Collectively, the series functions both as a repository of consolidated knowledge and as a catalyst for sustained academic dialogue across disciplinary and regional boundaries.
