O livro é fruto do convênio entre a UERJ e a Universidade Nacional da Costa Rica (UNA), com o objetivo de trazer a público a dinâmica dos estudos no âmbito da geografia rural da região latino-americana. As abordagens da relação entre campo e cidade na América Latina ganharam novos contornos a partir da tendência dos espaços rurais de se desenvolverem também na área do turismo, agronegócios, agroindústrias rurais e em outros serviços, sem se restringirem a atividades agrícolas. Esse panorama afetou o cenário do campo e o espaço urbano, ocasionando diferentes critérios teóricos e metodológicos de pesquisa acadêmica, assim como a descoberta de novos objetos de estudo, revelados nesta coletânea. A publicação integra pesquisadores dos países da América Latina, e o conjunto de capítulos evidencia a diversidade e a relevância dos estudos realizados.
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.

Sovereign Debt Diplomacies aims to revisit the meaning of sovereign debt in relation to colonial history and postcolonial developments. It offers three main contributions. The first contribution is historical. The volume historicises a research field that has so far focused primarily on the post-1980 years. A focus on colonial debt from the 19th century building of colonial empires to the decolonisation era in the 1960s-70s fills an important gap in recent debt histori...
