Regional Powers and Contested Leadership
When do rising powers fail to establish legitimate regional leadership and instead face contestation by their regional challengers? This book investigates how and why the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) project leadership in South America, post-Soviet Eurasia, South and Southeast Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa, respectively, and in what ways their main regional challengers respond. Based on a systematic conceptualization of the types and drivers of leadership and contestation, the authors assess the impact of the rise of regional powers on weaker states’ security, sovereignty, and status, as well as the consequences of contestation for regional economic development and stability and the regional powers’ bid for greater voice in global governance. By illuminating the sources and effects of power politics in five regions that are increasingly pivotal for the emerging world order, the volume offers a global comparative analysis of contemporary regional contested leadership that will interest scholars and students of international affairs, foreign policy, and area studies.
Transforming Brazil
This book re-examines the relationship between development strategy and political regime in twentieth-century Brazil. The first part of the study examines the beginning in the 1920s and 1930s of the centralized regime and state-centered development model later challenged in the 1980s, taking into account the economic and political role of Sao Paulo relative to the federal government. The analysis provides a distinctive account of the regime ruling Brazil from the 1930s through the 1980s. The second part focuses on the process of economic and political change in the 1980s and 1990s, paying particular attention to the Cardoso administration.

Global Expectations for Korean Unification
The current research aims to provide analytical understandings on the costs and benefits of Korean unification from political, social, and economic aspects. Upon the two years of earlier works, we constructed an analytical model encompassing both spatial and temporal dimensions of the unification process, and built comprehensive architecture, ‘the Guiding Type of Unification.’ Based on this model, we have broaden the scope of the research by collecting diverse perspectives from the worldwide experts of the leading countries. We expect to observe the global trends of world governance. Indeed, the increasing importance of Group of Twenty (G‐20) countries in managing global problems refle...

Negro sou
Coletânea inédita de textos sobre a questão étnico-racial por um dos mais importantes pensadores brasileiros do século XX. Considerado um dos pais da sociologia brasileira contemporânea, Guerreiro Ramos (1915-82) foi um dos pensadores de maior renome no país nos anos 1950 e 60. Foi também professor, ensaísta, servidor público, poeta, teórico da administração e político. Contraditório e polêmico, Guerreiro acabou sendo marginalizado e apagado do cânone das ciências sociais do Brasil por sua independência de pensamento e personalidade combativa. Negro sou é uma seleção de textos sobre a temática étnico-racial escritos pelo autor entre 1949 e 1973 — muitos inéditos em livro —, que contemplam sua complexa relação com a tese da democracia racial no país, a participação ativa no Teatro Experimental do Negro e seus estudos precursores sobre branquitude e decolonialidade. Organizado por Muryatan S. Barbosa, especialista no pensamento guerreiriano, o livro busca recuperar a atenção devida a uma obra que não apenas segue atual, mas que tem muito a acrescentar aos debates de hoje sobre racismo e identidade no Brasil.
