Cidades Inteligentes
Cidades Inteligentes: uma Abordagem Sustentável discute os desafios do uso da tecnologia para interconectar a infraestrutura das cidades brasileiras e os diversos aspectos que envolvem a implantação de modelos de organização urbana conhecidos como cidades inteligentes. Elaborado pelo Centro de Estudos e Debates Estratégicos com o apoio técnico da Consultoria Legislativa da Câmara dos Deputados, o estudo destaca que uma cidade inteligente é aquela que investe em capital humano e social, desenvolvimento econômico sustentável, inovação e empreendedorismo, percorrendo os seguintes eixos: a educação formal, a economia baseada em conhecimento, os processos produtivos, a tecnologia, a sustentabilidade e a governança. Tudo com foco em cidadania, qualidade de vida e bem-estar dos cidadãos. É uma obra de referência para as administrações municipais que enfrentam os desafios de um desenvolvimento urbano interconectado, cooperativo, integrado, criativo, diversificado e sustentável.

Bioprospection of Co-products and Agro-industrial Wastes
The proposed book titled as “Bioprospection of Coproducts and Agro-industrial Wastes: A Sustainable Biotechnological Approach”, seeks to offer the importance of the recycling, reuse of food residue, byproducts of fruits and agri-wastes to the academic community and industries. In developing countries facing malnutrition and environmental problems, this book would be very useful. The food waste and the residues resulting from this process are now becoming environmental problems. These mainly include leaves, stems, seeds, bark, and roots that have high nutritional value, many times even greater than the part usually consumed. It is a pressing priority to reuse and recycle the waste which is detrimental to the environment. This book would be an essential reading for students, researchers, and people from the food and pharma industry.
International Integration of the Brazilian Economy
Brazil is the most populous economy in Latin America with the second highest GDP among the emerging BRIC economies, after China, and the second per capita GDP among the BRIC economies after Russia. The objective of this book is to provide a thorough historical, statistical, and institutional description of the factors that affect and are affected by Brazil’s international trade and integration with the world economy. It includes a most recent account of what is presently going on in Brazil and the type of economy from which Brazil is emerging. The authors use Brazil as a case study and explain both the process and the outcome of international economic integration by analyzing in each chapter a different contributing factor to the benefits and costs from Brazil’s economic interdependency with the world economy. This makes the reading of this book extremely valuable. The topics addressed in this book will increase the reader’s awareness of the institutional, economic, and cultural forces that shape the dynamism of Brazil’s international trade and integration with the world economy, and will continue to do so in future years.
How China is Transforming Brazil
This book sets out to explore the new role of China in Brazilian politics and geopolitics. As China has become Brazil's biggest trade partner, Brazil's political economy has been transformed in subterranean ways, and China's role in the global economy has become a hot topic in Brazilian politics. By bringing into light a new generation of Brazilian scholars, this book seeks to consolidate the scholarship developed in the last decade and promote a new approach to Brazil-China relations, written from the perspective of the global south.
A Modern Guide to Knowledge
Outlining an integrative theory of knowledge, Francisco Javier Carrillo explores how to understand the underlying behavioural basis of the knowledge economy and society. Chapters highlight the notion that unless a knowledge-based value creation and distribution paradigm is globally adopted, the possibilities for integration between a sustainable biosphere and a viable economy are small.
Smart City 2.0: Strategies And Innovations For City Development
Almost a century since the idea of creating more humane — more human-centric — cities was brought to the fore, how far has mankind progressed towards creating a true 'city with a heart'? How far off are we, and what can we do to close the gap?The first generation of smart cities showed the limits of top-down planning, in which cities contracted out design and implementation to IT providers. As residents resented paying high taxes for 'smart' urban features that they did not want or use, it became plain that smart cities were not sustainable, and needed to be re-thought. 'Smart City 2.0' starts the design process with understanding the needs of human residents. Little has yet been written...
Minerais Estratégicos e Terras-Raras
Esse terceiro título da série Estudos Estratégicos traz uma análise das políticas públicas do Brasil na área de pesquisa, exploração e beneficiamento de minerais estratégicos, em um contexto que tem a China como país dominante desse mercado. A publicação expõe as principais aplicações desses minerais na indústria tecnológica a exemplo da produção de turbinas eólicas, células fotovoltaicas, smartphones, aviões de caça, sistemas de controle de mísseis e satélites. O estudo aponta, ainda, caminhos para que o Brasil amplie a pesquisa, a produção e, principalmente, a agregação de valor aos minerais estratégicos, de modo que esses bens venham a ter grande relevância no desenvolvimento econômico e social do País.
