In many cases, actors within the agricultural sector stand in a key position to address environmental concerns, which often has generated important breakthroughs and improvement of production practices. Drawing on contributions from authors within ...
Brazilian Agricultural Diplomacy in the 21st Century
Brazil’s growing dependence on agriculture has positioned agribusiness in a uniquely privileged position to influence Brazilian foreign policy. Brazilian Agricultural Diplomacy in the 21st Century examines how the inclusion of domestic “national champions” in foreign policy has shaped events within key global governance arenas. Starting with an explanation of the structural economic importance of agriculture within the Brazilian economy, Niels Søndergaard tells the story of agribusiness’ participation in foreign policy and how this Brazilian agricultural diplomacy has unfolded in recent decades. Expanding on his extensive archival research undertaken in the Brazilian Ministry of For...

Contact Strategies
Around the year 1800, independent Native groups still effectively controlled about half the territory of the Americas. How did they maintain their political autonomy and territorial sovereignty, hundreds of years after the arrival of Europeans? In a study that spans the eighteenth to twentieth centuries and ranges across the vast interior of South America, Heather F. Roller examines this history of power and persistence from the vantage point of autonomous Native peoples in Brazil. The central argument of the book is that Indigenous groups took the initiative in their contacts with Brazilian society. Rather than fleeing or evading contact, Native peoples actively sought to appropriate what w...
Mano Dura Policies in Latin America
Leading scholars and policy analysts from around the Americas come together to untangle the factors that have fuelled the implementation of mano dura politics, their rising popularity, and impacts across nine widely heterogeneous countries in Latin America. Beginning with a discussion on the concept of mano dura, the editors move to survey various theoretical approaches to punitivism, and later review of the empirical research evaluating different drivers behind the adoption of tough on crime policies. Since hard-line initiatives often have consequences beyond the general goal of reducing violence, they then analyze the impacts of these policing strategies on crime rates and different democr...
Fuzzy Information Processing
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 37th IFSA Conference, NAFIPS 2018, held in Fortaleza, Brazil, in July 2018. The 55 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 73 submissions. The papers deal with a large spectrum of topics, including theory and applications of fuzzy numbers and sets, fuzzy logic, fuzzy inference systems, fuzzy clustering, fuzzy pattern classification, neuro-fuzzy systems, fuzzy control systems, fuzzy modeling, fuzzy mathematical morphology, fuzzy dynamical systems, time series forecasting, and making decision under uncertainty.
In Spite of You
In October 2018 Brazilians elected Jair Bolsonaro as their new president. A former army officer who served under the military dictatorship, Bolsonaro has spent his political career campaigning against democracy and human rights. His notoriety comes from his repeated racist, sexist and homophobic statements and his defense of torture, extra-judicial executions and impunity for Brazil´s security forces. Bolsonaro is sometimes described as a “Tropical Trump.” But this wording greatly underestimates the threat that he poses to Brazil´s still young and fragile democratic institutions. In Spite of You brings together voices of the new Brazilian resistance. It includes chapters by Dilma Rouss...
Gabinete de investigação
This book, the fourth of the series "Fontes para la história de Portugal e do Brazil" ("Sources for the History of Portugal and Brazil"), contains a list of names of Portuguese Conversos and Jews registered by the Portuguese Inquisition in the "Livro dos Culpados" ("The Book of the Accused"). These people had been denounced to the Inquisition and had undergone trials, and then emigrated to other countries, mainly the Netherlands and Brazil. The Inquisition was interested in "following their steps" in those countries. The list covers the 17th-18th centuries and is alphabetically arranged. In addition to the names of the accused, also contains the names of the accusers who provided evidence through their testimonies. In some entries the sentence is mentioned as well.
The Economies of Violence
The covert interplay between violence and economies has long eluded public scrutiny, remaining a neglected topic in academic and policy circles alike. Amidst the proclamation of the “liberal peace”, democratic nations in the 90s sidestepped discussions on violent influences within their borders. Yet, the repercussions of economic violence, spanning psychological trauma to societal upheaval, persist globally. Beyond preconceived ideas limiting violence to geographic areas and certain political regimes, identifying the profiteers and veiled beneficiaries of such systems is paramount. This understanding is crucial in dismantling the undemocratic underpinnings of economies of violence, fostering a path towards equity and peace. Contributors are Arturo Alvarado, Alain Bauer, Clotilde Champeyrache, Julien Dechanet, Nazia Hussain, David Izadifar, Louise Shelley, and Guillaume Soto-Mayor.
