Analistas Socio
Políticos (Socio-Political Analysts), ASP Research Center, is
a private, independent research institute of social sciences
located in Madrid (Spain), founded (1993) by
Víctor
Pérez-Díaz , Ph.D.in
Sociology from Harvard University and Professor of Sociology
at the Complutense University in Madrid (1980-2009).
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.
