Introduction: a letter from the Editor
More LessIt is a privilege and a pleasure to have taken over as the new editor of IJIS, and I thank the Annual General Meeting of the Association of Contemporary Iberian Studies for appointing me last year. IJIS has served a key role in the dissemination of scholarly knowledge about Spain and Portugal to universities in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in the English-speaking world since the mid-1980s. The task benefited exceedingly from the skilful editorship of my predecessor Hugh O’Donnell and from the quality of the contributions submitted. Due in part to its multidisciplinary approach, IJIS stands out as the only academic journal devoted exclusively to the study of modern Spanish and Portuguese history, society, politics and culture. This is its great strength.

The concept of skill and the Spanish labour market
Authors: Mike Rigby and Enric SanchisThe article first examines the different dimensions of the concept of skill and emphasizes the role of social definition in arriving at agreed versions of skill. It then goes on to examine how a consideration of these dimensions of skill can increase our understanding the Spanish labour market with particular reference to unemployment, the role of education and training agencies, the position of women in employment and the status of service-sector workers. Finally it seeks to draw out the implications of this analysis for employment policies in Spain.
