located in Madrid (Spain), founded (1993) and directed by

Pérez-Díaz
, Ph.D.in

at the Complutense University in Madrid. ASP is devoted to the
study of problems concerning the relationships between the market
economy, liberal democracy and civil society in the modern world.
Its focus is on how the challenges and opportunities arising
as a consequence of the current processes of change, and of
change in the scale of the problems (globalization, the European
construction), affect business and voluntary associations, politics,
public policies and the development of a public space particularly
at three levels: at the national level, the European level and
the level of the transatlantic community.
ASP carries out activities of research, publication, consulting
for public and private institutions, and provides research
training for Ph.D. candidates. ASP collaborates with research
centers, foundations and academics of national and international
standing. Its activities have been sponsored by a variety
of international and Spanish institutions, of both public
and private character, for profit as well as non profit organizations.
