Memories of the Future

Memories of the future brings together Felipe González´s reflections on the key matters of our times in a collection of 53 articles published in the national daily, El País, between 1993 and 2003. The writer analyses matters which cover Spanish politics and the European context and its role in the international sphere. His writings on Spanish politics cover subjects such as the terrorism of ETA, the primaries process of the Spanish Socialist Workers´ Party, the nexus between Spain and Latin America and the relations between Spain and Morroco.

On Europe he covers matters such as the construction of Europe, the Euro and democratic socialism and Europe. In the international sphere he reflects on the Palestine question, the role of Europe in globalisation and relations with Mercosur and Africa, the situation created following the attack on the Twin Towers in New York and ends with the conflict in Iraq. This is a publication which provides an understanding of the past so as to better understand the present.
