Topical Issues in International Development and Economics
This book offers various insights on current hot topics in development economics. The authors address the questions of gender effects, leapfrogging, the factors determining the production frontiers of countries, and the respective roles of financial, monetary and fiscal policies in fostering the development of countries. They also question one of the strategies utilized by policy makers in poor countries: development through trade and financial globalization. They ask whether education has really been a factor in development, and look at the role of those who return to the country after studying abroad. This book is the result of a collaboration between researchers from Asia, Africa and Europe. It will be useful to economists and non-economists working in academia (including postgraduate students), as well as professionals working in development institutions and public institutions responsible for strategic planning in developing and emerging countries.

Nini
De dentro de nós vem o pior que se pode imaginar. Mas também o melhor. Quando Nini era criança, o pai, atormentado por um transtorno obsessivo, matou-lhe a mãe e suicidou-se — ou, como a mulher em que Nini se tornou viria a aprender, «morreu de suicídio». Inspirado num único acontecimento real da vida da autora, justamente a morte dos pais, Nini é um romance que mergulha na construção literária de uma criança que cresce num ambiente preconceituoso e violento, e no esforço que faz para o compreender e superar ao longo da vida. Um entusiasmante romance de estreia de Ticas Graciosa, que, com espantosa riqueza de imaginação e surpreendente habilidade, ficciona uma dor talvez há muito esquecida, mas que lhe tem imposto uma constante aprendizagem, quase uma luminosa missão para a vida: alertar. E Nini? Terá ela compreendido, terá ela perdoado?

A Morte Vence
"A Morte Vence" de João José Grave é uma obra notável na literatura portuguesa, publicada no início do século XX. João José Grave, conhecido por sua prosa reflexiva e densa, utiliza este romance para explorar temas filosóficos profundos, especialmente a inevitabilidade da morte e a luta humana contra a finitude. "A Morte Vence" segue a trajetória de vários personagens que enfrentam dilemas existenciais e crises pessoais. O título sugere a vitória inexorável da morte sobre a vida, um tema central que permeia todo o romance. Grave aborda a fragilidade da condição humana, a transitoriedade das conquistas materiais e a busca incessante por significado em um mundo onde a morte é a única certeza. Os personagens principais do romance são complexos e multifacetados, cada um lidando com suas próprias angústias e questionamentos. A narrativa explora suas relações interpessoais, seus medos e desejos, revelando como a sombra da morte influencia suas decisões e comportamentos. A obra é marcada por um tom melancólico e introspectivo, com momentos de profunda contemplação sobre a vida e a morte.
