The Republic of Skill
Artisans travelled all over Europe in the pre-modern period, and they were responsible for many technical innovations and new consumer products. This volume moves away from the model of knowledge ‘transfer’ and, drawing on new understandings of artisan work, considers the links between artisan creativity and mobility. Through case studies of different industries, it emphasizes traditions of migration, the experience of moving, and the stimulus provided by new economic and work environments. For both male and female artisans, the weight of these factors varied from one trade to another, and from place to place.

The Divine Charter
Although Mexico began its national life in the 1821 as one of the most liberal democracies in the world, it ended the century with an authoritarian regime. Examining this defining process, distinguished historians focus on the evolution of Mexican liberalism from the perspectives of politics, the military, the Church, and the economy. Based on extensive archival research, the chapters demonstrate that--despite widely held assumptions--liberalism was not an alien ideology unsuited to Mexico's traditional, conservative, and multiethnic society. On the contrary, liberalism in New Spain arose from Hispanic culture, which drew upon a shared European tradition reaching back to ancient Greece. This...

A SANTA SÉ, SUJEITO DE DIREITO INTERNACIONAL, HOJE: UMA ANTIGUIDADE?
A questão da subjetividade internacional da Santa Sé, aqui investigada, é uma questão de atualidade. Põem-se variadas questões, a esse propósito.

Não será a Santa Sé a melhor proposta de medianeira, por exemplo, para terminar com certas guerras, intermináveis, por não estar ligada a interesses geoestratégicos?
