El discurso de la modernidad y los derechos indígenas en Brasil
Contemporáneamente el Estado brasileño está personificado por grupos de poder oligárquicos anti-indígenas, destacadamente los vinculados al agro-negocio, a la minería y a la producción y consumo de energía. Las normas constitucionales protectoras de los indígenas, consideradas punto meritorio del ordenamiento jurídico nacional, están seriamente amenazadas por el grupo parlamentario «bancada ruralista» del Congreso Nacional. La prioridad del Poder Ejecutivo está centrada en el crecimiento económico a cualquier precio. El discurso de las elites dirigentes brasileñas contrarias a los intereses indígenas y la implantación de la hidroeléctrica de Belo Monte (Amazonia) sin obtener el consentimiento libre, previo e informado de diversos grupos étnicos nativos, demuestran la postura autoritaria y arbitraria de las fuerzas anti-indígenas que dominan el Estado brasileño.
Globalization and Human Rights
Globalisation turns out to be untenable because it does not guarantee minimum social equity, peace and respect for the environment, and therefore does not guarantee the effective accomplishment of human rights. This book analyzes this issue and raises proposals for a new perspective. The first part describes the soft threats to human rights, derived from the devaluation of the politics and the productive economy with regard to the finance. It entails the concealment of the reality in the shape of exploitation as the tax havens and in the shape of marginalization of the persons with different abilities. The second part include a study of hard threats to human rights and examines two cases of failed states: Afghanistan and Somalia, in which the violence has supplanted the politics and the economy. In view of these situations it is necessary to rethink the force of classic ius gentium and the humanitarian right. The third part presents the European Union as a legal and political space in which conditions of a worthy life are better defended by means of the Primacy of Practical Reason and Social State of Law, and by the requirement of peace as the main rule of international relations.

No One is an Island
This book examines Iceland vis-à-vis international affairs, with special focus on immigration, foreign aid, Arctic policy, climate change and Iceland´s international image, identity and perception. All issues that play an important role in Iceland´s foreign and domestic policy. This book addresses Iceland as a small state from a variety of perspectives offered by academics and officials. In this book, the authors explore how Iceland’s domestic and international behaviour is marked by its smallness, suggesting that the Icelandic perspective is perhaps more idiosyncratic than international.
