O modelo de desenvolvimento brasileiro das primeiras décadas do século XXI
O modelo de desenvolvimento implantado no Brasil a partir do início do século XXI situa-se em um contexto de crise do ideário neoliberal e retomada do pensamento desenvolvimentista. O ideário neoliberal, hegemônico no contexto mundial a partir da década de 1980, apresentou, no final dos anos 90, sinais claros de esgotamento: altas taxas de desemprego, ampliação das desigualdades, concentração de renda, baixos índices de crescimento econômico, entre outros. A construção de alternativas exigiu repensar as relações entre o mercado, o Estado e as diferentes organizações da sociedade civil. No caso brasileiro, a proposta que se tornou hegemônica retomou princípios desenvolvimentistas de uma ação mais incisiva do Estado, tanto como planejador e articulador, quanto como financiador e agente direto em processos econômicos e sociais com vistas ao desenvolvimento. Este novo modelo incita muitas reflexões para compreender suas características e repercussões nos cenários locais e regionais.

Hijacking Environmentalism
This text demonstrates how businesses and institutions continue to operate outside the ecological carrying capacity of the environment, and highlights the need for participation and social innovation on their part. It asserts that senior executives and middle management in large corporations have often sought, deliberately or unconsciously, to block the advancement of environmentalism. Industry has reconstructed the more radical environmental agenda to suit its own purposes, in effect hijacking it, by taking it out of its traditional discourse and placing it in a liberal-productivist framework. The book concludes by examining the way forward for more sustainable business, presenting new models that place greater emphasis on issues such as equity and ethics.
The Myth of Economic Development
This classic work remains one of the most incisive contributions to dependency theory in the Latin American context. While agreeing with other dependency theorists that underdevelopment on the Latin America periphery was structurally connected to the accumulation of capital in the advanced economies at the core of the global capitalist system, Furtado went further and argued that the very idea of development in the periphery is a myth, deceiving countries into focusing on narrow economic factors such as the rate of investment and the volume of exports to the detriment of their human well-being. Moreover, the costs of development in terms of environmental destruction would be catastrophic for...

The Land of Open Graves
In his gripping and provocative debut, anthropologist Jason De Le—n sheds light on one of the most pressing political issues of our timeÑthe human consequences of US immigration policy.Ê The Land of Open Graves reveals the suffering and deaths that occur daily in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona as thousands of undocumented migrants attempt to cross the border from Mexico into the United States. Drawing on the four major fields of anthropology, De Le—n uses an innovative combination of ethnography, archaeology, linguistics, and forensic science to produce a scathing critique of ÒPrevention through Deterrence,Ó the federal border enforcement policy that encourages migrants to cross in areas characterized by extreme environmental conditions and high risk of death. For two decades, this policy has failed to deter border crossers while successfully turning the rugged terrain of southern Arizona into a killing field. In harrowing detail, De Le—n chronicles the journeys of people who have made dozens of attempts to cross the border and uncovers the stories of the objects and bodies left behind in the desert. The Land of Open Graves will spark debate and controversy.
