In Barcelona, Arancha González Laya has published Solos en el mundo, a new book on the European Union and its place in a changing global order.
For readers in Catalonia, the practical point is immediate: EU decisions can affect transport investment, energy policy, student mobility and market access. If you follow public policy, trade or university exchanges, this is a timely reference point, and the publisher’s listing is the first place to check for the book’s latest details.
Who González Laya Is
According to La Moncloa, González Laya was Spain’s minister of foreign affairs, European Union and cooperation in Pedro Sánchez’s government. Her appointment was formalised in January 2020 in the Boletín Oficial del Estado, Spain’s official state gazette.
What The Book Covers
The publisher, Arpa Editores, presents Solos en el mundo as a book about the European Union in a world shaped by Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. González Laya is now dean of the Paris School of International Affairs at Sciences Po in Paris, according to Sciences Po.
Why Catalonia Readers May Care
In Catalonia, EU rules can filter down into everyday decisions on public spending, cross-border work, university exchanges and business conditions. That matters for residents, commuters, students and companies that trade with the wider European market, including people who use TMB, Rodalies or FGC, or who deal with Generalitat paperwork such as a NIE or TIE.
