Power and Horizontality in South-South Development Cooperation. The Case of Brazil and Mozambique
The growing importance of new actors in the global political landscape is envisaged as a phenomenon that has led to shifts in international power relations. This is reflected in development cooperation. Countries like China, Brazil, India and South Africa have enhanced their cooperation programs and present their development cooperation as South-South Development cooperation (SSDC) which takes place between countries of the 'Global South'. Both practitioners and scholars ascribe a notion of solidarity and horizontality to South-South cooperation that allegedly distinguishes it from the relationship patterns commonly associated with North-South relations. However, power constellations between...
Globalization and the Distribution of Wealth
This book links theoretical discussions about globalization and the distribution of wealth with a rich empirical analysis of Latin America.
Handbook of Latin American Studies, Vol. 77
Beginning with Number 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the most comprehensive annual bibliography in Latin American Studies. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 140 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research underway in specialized areas. Subject categories for the Social Sciences editions include anthropology; geography; government and politics; international relations; political economy; and sociology.
The Ideas and Practices of the European Union’s Structural Antidiplomacy
In The Ideas and Practices of the European Union’s Structural Antidiplomacy, Steffen Bay Rasmussen offers a comprehensive analysis of EU diplomacy that goes beyond the functioning of the European External Action Service and discusses the sui generis nature of the EU as a diplomatic actor, the forms of bilateral and multilateral representation as well as the actor identity, founding ideas and meta-practices of EU diplomacy. The book employs a novel theoretical approach that distinguishes the social structures of diplomacy from the practices and meta-practices of diplomacy. Comparing EU diplomacy to the two theoretically constructed ideal types of Westphalian diplomacy and utopian antidiplomacy, Steffen Bay Rasmussen concludes that the EU’s international agency constitutes a new form of diplomacy called structural antidiplomacy.
Handbook of South American Governance
Governance in South America is signified by strategies pursued by state and non-state actors directed to enhancing (some aspect of) their capabilities and powers of agency. It is about the spaces and the practices available, demanded or created to ‘make politics happen’. This framework lends explanatory power to understand how governance has been defined and practiced in South America. Pía Riggirozzi and Christopher Wylde bring together leading experts to explore what demands and dilemmas have shaped understanding and practice of governance in South America in and across the region. The Handbook suggests that governance dilemmas of inequitable and unfulfilled political economic governan...
A Independência e o Brasil independente Vol. II
Como bem nos indica Marc Bloch, “a incompreensão do presente nasce fatalmente da ignorância do passado. Mas talvez não seja menos vão esgotar-se em compreender o passado se nada se sabe do presente”. Nesse sentido, portanto, a presente obra se propõe justamente a compreender o Brasil de hoje, dois séculos após sua independência de Portugal, a partir de importantes reflexões sobre o seu processo histórico de construção política, econômica, social, cultural e identitária da Nação, suas continuidades e rupturas, convergências e divergências, internas e externas, em relação a si próprio e às demais nações.
Globalização e relações internacionais: casos de ensino

A Independência e o Brasil independente – Volume 2
A presente obra se propõe a compreender o Brasil de hoje, dois séculos após sua independência de Portugal, a partir de importantes reflexões sobre o seu processo histórico de construção política, econômica, social, cultural e identitária da Nação, suas continuidades e rupturas, convergências e divergências, internas e externas, em relação a si próprio e às demais nações. Para tanto, os textos aqui reunidos, de importantes pesquisadores nacionais e internacionais, serão divididos em dois volumes. No primeiro volume, tem-se por objetivo refletir sobre o papel do Estado, a democracia nacional e a questão do desenvolvimento, sua formação e evolução histórica, dos temp...
L'Afrique, nouveau terrain de jeu des émergents
Délaissé jusqu’il y a peu par la mondialisation car considéré comme une « cause perdue » de l’économie internationale, le continent africain est désormais courtisé tant par les puissances industrielles traditionnelles (États-Unis, Europe) que par toute une série d’acteurs émergents (Brésil, Chine, Inde, Russie, Afrique du Sud). Depuis les années 2000, ces derniers se sont dotés de stratégies africaines et les liens tissés avec le continent sont devenus aussi divers que nombreux allant de la diplomatie à l’économique en passant par le commerce et/ou la coopération au développement, universitaire et/ou militaire. Les raisons de ce rapprochement sont multiples : né...
