| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines how geographical distance affects how political parties articulate regional identities at the subnational level. This is done by applying construal-level theory, hypothesizing that the further away a region is from the center, the more distinct and unique peripheral identities will tend to be framed by these political actors. Qualitatively analyzing regional party manifestos issued for the regional elections held during 1999–2015 in the Spanish regions of Castilla–La Mancha, Andalusia, and the Canary Islands, the results show that regional identities are formulated in a more distinct and unique way as distance from the center increases.

| Summary/Abstract |
After reviewing the energy policies in the Canary Islands, this study addresses the concept of energy poverty from a different perspective than that usually found in the academic literature. This analysis advances knowledge of the role played by the following six pillars: sustainability, renewable energies, energy efficiency, self-consumption regimes, electrification of energy demand and electrical interconnections, regarding energy poverty in these isolated environments. The relationship of these pillars with energy poverty is analysed in terms of energy scenarios projected for 2030. The results show that the interrelations between these six elements are a good indicator of the evolution of energy poverty. They also provide a roadmap for energy policy in these regions. This research highlights the importance of promoting energy policies that are not based on short-term results, and that energy strategy does not necessarily require planning more tasks in a shorter time. Intending to asses policies suitable for implementation in the medium and long term, this study proposes alternative definitions to measure energy poverty, by identifying the key pillars in energy planning for the Canary Islands.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the world scenario of US unilateralism, this paper argues the competition for control over Africa's resources between the major powers (United States, the European Union and China) provides a renewed geostrategic situation for the Canary Islands (Spain). First, the political and economic rivalry over Northwest Africa adds new dimensions to the geostrategic location of the Archipelago, which constitute NATO's southern flank and a logistic platform for neighbouring Africa. Second, it focuses on the particular case of the industrial megaport envisaged for Granadilla (Tenerife), examining its geostrategic projection as an important infrastructure both for the Canarian ruling elites' geoeconomic interests and also for the geopolitical interests of the major world powers.

| Summary/Abstract |
Between 1939 and 1945, the Canary Islands became protagonists in the Second World War. Although Spain was never formally involved in the war, the connivance of the Franco regime allowed ports such as Las Palmas to act as supply points for Axis submarines. In response, the Allied Powers did not hesitate to intervene diplomatically or militarily. Therefore, the main objective of this article is to reveal the most fundamental components of Operation Warden, a British sabotage plan designed in 1941 which, although not ultimately implemented, stipulated the sinking of several German and Italians vessels in Puerto de la Luz (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria).
