The Political Economy of Upgrading Regimes: Brazil and beyond
Today’s middle-income countries tend to be locked in a middle-income trap, unable to transition to higher income levels due to rising costs and declining competitiveness. While there is a broad consensus that upgrading these economies towards innovation-led growth is imperative, countless institutional and political economy obstacles remain. This book brings together analytical perspectives from comparative political economy, innovation studies, and development economics for the study of technological upgrading. Its distinctive contribution is the development of an innovative theoretical framework, named upgrading regimes, combining and extending the comparative capitalism and innovation system perspectives. It explores the usefulness of this approach by providing an indepth assessment of the political economy of upgrading in Brazil under the Workers’ Party governments. As the politics of technological upgrading will be one of the crucial research areas in the years to come, this book promises to become a key reference point in this debate.

A Gramatica Politica do Brasil
Ao aliar o enfoque acadêmico a um contemporâneo savoir faire político, este livro torna-se particularmente instigante para analistas e operadores politicos, acadêmicos e cidadãos interessados na interpretação do atual experimento de estabilidade, democracia e reforma por que passa o Brasil. Sobretudo aqueles que buscam entender as possibilidades e dificuldades de se institucionalizar no Brasil uma sociedade moderna e universalista — em poucas palavras, democrática. Segundo L. C. Bresser Pereira, “este trabalho é uma das mais instigantes e originais análises da política brasileira.” Ao articular os quatro padrões institucionalizados de relações, ou “quatro gramáticas”...

Foundations, US Foreign Policy and Anti-Racism in Brazil
This book connects the work of US private foundations, the US government, and Brazilian intellectuals to explore how they worked collaboratively to address racial disparities in Brazil during the Cold War. It reveals not only how anti-racism was promoted during this period, shaping the political and academic agenda, but also the importance of American foundations, especially the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations, in the process. Drawing on a vast array of archival and published sources from Brazil, the United States, and around the world, the book investigates the making of transnational connections and networks that sought to respond to the "race problem", seen as an increasingly dangerous threat to the liberal international order. This book is especially relevant to the areas of Race Studies, Social Sciences, Latin-American Studies, Political Science and History, particularly the History of Sociology and Anthropology, as well as to studies about the role of American foundations in the Cold War period. It will also be of interest to activists, social scientists, economists, historians, journalists, NGOs, and INGOs.

Darwin in Atlantic Cultures
This collection is an interdisciplinary edited volume that examines the circulation of Darwinian ideas in the Atlantic space as they impacted systems of Western thought and culture. Specifically, the book explores the influence of the principle tenets of Darwinism -- such as the theory of evolution, the ape-man theory of human origins, and the principle of sexual selection -- on established transatlantic intellectual traditions and cultural practices. In doing so, it pays particular attention to how Darwinism reconfigured discourses on race, gender, and sexuality in a transnational context. Covering the period from the publication of The Origin of Species (1859) to 1933, when the Nazis (Nati...
O sortilégio da cor
Livro que se insere na nova corrente de reflexões sobre o negro brasileiro. Colocando o problema da identidade no centro de sua análise, a autora mostra que a identidade não é apenas um conceito teórico, mas se manifesta concretamente na realidade social. O livro descreve a recusa dos afrodescendentes em ver sua identidade diluída em uma homogeneidade cultural ditada pela branquitude e pelo universalismo europeu.
