"Nessa nova edição, ampliada e atualizada, do livro: A expansão econômica e geopolítica da China no século XXI: diferentes dimensões de um mesmo processo é mais oportuna do que nunca. A primeira edição da obra, publicada em 2018, foi produto de um grande Seminário realizado na PUC Minas em 2016. A segunda edição, não obstante, é produto de anos de estudo da nossa rede de pesquisa internacional sobre esse fenômeno social da emergência ou re-emergência da China, assim como os seus desdobramentos que poderíamos destacar em: a) desafios interpretativos da teoria de relações internacionais para compreender o fenômeno da China contemporânea; b) os impactos econômicos e geopolíticos da ascensão da RPC; c) o surgimento (ou não) de um novo tipo de globalização; d) os complexos relacionamentos da RPC com as grandes potências e com os grandes blocos econômicos regionais; e) a relação da China com o Sul Global e os dilemas da cooperação e o desenvolvimento; f) os aspectos que se relacionam à segurança internacional num período de mudança estrutural e surgimento de novos conflitos, sejam de caráter tradicional ou híbridos."
The first part of the book is concerned with developing the place perspective. Three dimensions of place are put forward: locale and sense of place describe the objective and subjective dimensions of local social arrangements within which political behaviour is realized; location refers to the impact of the ‘macro-order’, to the fact that a single place is one among many and that the social life of a place is embedded in theworkings of the state and the world economy. The second part of the book provides detailed examinations of American and Scottish politics, using the place perspective. Contrary to the view that place or locality is important only in ‘traditional societies’, this book argues that place is of continuing significance in even the most ‘advanced’ societies.
En estos tres ensayos, Tomás Abraham argumenta y discute sobre diversos temas alejado de las trampas de conformidad habituales en la cultura argentina. El primer ensayo, «Los polacos», analiza y desarrolla el efecto de la cultura polaca en la argentina. En «Aira y Piglia», el autor describe y explica dos casos paradigmáticos de la narrativa argentina actual. El tercer ensayo, «El agujero de cristal», trabaja a partir de la comparación entre las muy diferentes concepciones del arte de Rivière y Antonin Artaud.

The Handbook of Latin America in the World explains how the Latin American countries have both reacted and contributed to changing international dynamics over the last 30 years. It provides a comprehensive picture of Latin America’s global engagement by looking at specific processes and issues that link governments and other actors, social and economic, within the region and beyond. Leading scholars offer an up-to-date state of the field, theoretically and empirically, thus avoiding a narrow descriptive approach. The Handbook includes a section on theoretical approaches that analyze Latin America’s place in the international political and economic system and its foreign policy making. Other sections focus on the main countries, actors, and issues in Latin America’s international relations. In so doing, the book sheds light on the complexity of the international relations of selected countries, and on their efforts to act multilaterally. The Routledge Handbook of Latin America in the World is a must-have reference for academics, researchers, and students in the fields of Latin American politics, international relations, and area specialists of all regions of the world.

How do the places where people live help structure and restructure their sociopolitical identities and interests? In this book, renowned political geographer John A. Agnew presents a theoretical model that addresses the relation of place to politics and applies it to a series of historicogeographical case studies set in modern Italy. For Agnew, place is not just a static backdrop against which events occur, but a dynamic component of social, economic, and political processes. He shows, for instance, how the lack of a common "landscape ideal" or physical image of Italy delayed the development of a sense of nationhood among Italians after unification. And Agnew uses the post-1992 victory of the Northern League over the Christian Democrats in many parts of northern Italy to explore how parties are replaced geographically during periods of intense political change. Providing a fresh new approach to studying the role of space and place in social change, Place and Politics in Modern Italy will interest geographers, political scientists, and social theorists.
Two of America's leading national security experts offer a definitive account of the global impact of COVID-19 and the political shock waves it will have on the United States and the world order in the 21st Century. “Informed by history, reporting, and a truly global perspective, this is an indispensable first draft of history and blueprint for how we can move forward.” —Ben Rhodes The COVID-19 pandemic killed millions, infected hundreds of millions, and laid bare the deep vulnerabilities and inequalities of our interconnected world.
