Abstract

On the occasion of the passing of Professor Alejandro Lorca Corrons, Professor of Economic Analysis of the Autonomous University of Madrid, and member of the Scientific Board of the Journal for International Mediterranean Studies (Revista de Estudios Internacionales Mediterráneos, REIM) since its creation, REIM honours his memory with the testimony of some of his colleagues, students and pupils: Bernabé López García (UAM-TEIM), Gonzalo Escribano (UNED, Real Instituto Elcano), Ana I. Planet  Contreras (UAM-TEIM), Miguel Hernando de Larramendi (UCLM-GRESAM) and Olivia Orozco (Casa Árabe). With the permission of his family and of the journal Información Comercial Española we also reproduce his article “Spain’s return to the Mediterranean”, a seminal contribution to the development and promotion of research on the contemporary Mediterranean in Spain. The article was originally published in ICE. Journal of Economy, nr. 664, 1988, pp. 9-23.
