CPDA 30 anos
Edição comemorativa CPDA 30 anos: desenvolvimento, agricultura e sociedade Para comemorar os 30 anos de existência do Programa de Pós-graduação de Ciências Sociais em Desenvolvimento, Agricultura e Sociedade (CPDA) da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro e, simultaneamente, proceder a um balanço dos temas e questões tratados ao longo desse período, realizamos um conjunto de atividades, que culminou com a promoção de dois seminários nos anos de 2006 e 2007. O primeiro Seminário, “Dialogando entre as Ciências Sociais: Desenvolvimento, Agricultura e Sociedade”, foi realizado no Solar da Imperatriz, no Horto Florestal do Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro, local de ori...
Degenerate Diffusions
The book deals with the existence, uniqueness, regularity, and asymptotic behavior of solutions to the initial value problem (Cauchy problem) and the initial-Dirichlet problem for a class of degenerate diffusions modeled on the porous medium type equation $u_t = \Delta u^m$, $m \geq 0$, $u \geq 0$. Such models arise in plasma physics, diffusion through porous media, thin liquid film dynamics, as well as in geometric flows such as the Ricci flow on surfaces and the Yamabe flow. The approach presented to these problems uses local regularity estimates and Harnack type inequalities, which yield compactness for families of solutions. The theory is quite complete in the slow diffusion case ($ m>1$) and in the supercritical fast diffusion case ($m_c
Intracellular Delivery
This book features a special subsection of Nanomedicine, an application of nanotechnology to achieve breakthroughs in healthcare. It exploits the improved and often novel physical, chemical and biological properties of materials only existent at the nanometer scale. As a consequence of small scale, nanosystems in most cases are efficiently uptaken by cells and appear to act at the intracellular level. Nanotechnology has the potential to improve diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of diseases, and includes targeted drug delivery and regenerative medicine; it creates new tools and methods that impact significantly upon existing conservative practices. This volume is a collection of authoritativ...

The Neoliberal Regime in the Agri-Food Sector
For the last three decades, the Neoliberal regime, emphasising economic growth through deregulation, market integration, expansion of the private sector, and contraction of the welfare state has shaped production and consumption processes in agriculture and food. These institutional arrangements emerged from and advanced academic and popular beliefs about the virtues of private, market-based coordination relative to public, state-based problem solving. This book presents an informed, constructive dialogue around the thesis that the Neoliberal mode of governance has reached some institutional and material limits. Is Neoliberalism exhausted? How should we understand crisis applied to Neolibera...
Political Dynamics of Transnational Agrarian Movements
"The prayers of those of us who have long hungered for a comprehensive, historically deep, learned and accessible account of international agrarian movements have finally been answered in full. We will long be in debt to Edelman and Borras for this exceptional and lasting contribution to agrarian scholarship." - James C. Scott, founding Director, Yale University Agrarian Studies Program, author of The Art of Not Being Governed
Rising Global Interest in Farmland
This book aims to provide key pieces of information needed for informed debate about large-scale land acquisition by drawing on the experience from past land expansions, discussing predictions for potential future demand, and providing empirical evidence of what is happening on the ground in the countries most affected by the recent increase in demand for land. It complements demand side considerations with a detailed assessment of the amount of land, whether currently cultivated or not, that might potentially be available for agricultural cultivation at the global and country levels. It then describes in some detail the policies in place to manage land acquisition processes and analyzes how...
