Local Self-Governance in Antiquity and in the Global South
The nucleus of society is situated at the local level: in the village, the neighborhood, the city district. This is where a community first develops collective rules that are intended to ensure its continued existence. The contributors look at such configurations in geographical areas and time periods that lie outside of the modern Western world with its particular development of society and statehood: in Antiquity and in the Global South of the present. Here states tend to be weak, with obvious challenges and opportunities for local communities. How does governance in this context work?

Military Orders in the Early Modern Portuguese World
During the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries, the three Portuguese military orders of Christ, Santiago and Avis became that kingdom's most important institutions for rewarding services to the Crown. Membership in these military orders was highly prized as status symbols and because of the orders' "purity of blood" statutes, these knighthoods were more highly esteemed than mere patents of nobility, especially since such knighthoods automatically ennobled. Francis A. Dutra has written widely on the Portuguese military orders of Christ, Santiago and Avis - a topic generally neglected by students of early modern Portugal. This volume brings together a selection of his pioneering essays. Based extensively on archival research, they reflect his special interest in social mobility and use of the knighthoods for patronage, while particular sections focus on the role of the orders in the Portuguese maritime expansion and in India and Brazil, and on the medical profession. The collection includes English translations of four studies that originally appeared in Portuguese, as well as a detailed index, in itself a useful research tool.
Etnodesenvolvimento e Mediações Político-Culturais no Mundo Rural
Este livro apresenta os conteúdos da disciplina Etnodesenvolvimento e Mediações Político-Culturais no Mundo Rural (DERAD007) oferecida no segundo módulo do curso de graduação tecnológica na modalidade a distância Desenvolvimento Rurall (PLAGEDER) da UFRGS. Esta obra tem como objetivo fornecer instrumentos conceituais para a análise das relações entre complexas tessituras culturais, das formas de ocupação ecológico-econômica de espaços rurais, da estruturação de identidades minoritárias e lutas sociais correlatas ao processo de emergência político-institucional das comunidades tradicionais no mundo rural brasileiro. Assim, aborda-se a questão da mediação em circunstâncias de grande distanciamento cultural entre aquele que se apresenta como agente estimulador do desenvolvimento e aqueles reduzidos à condição de público-alvo de políticas, programas e projetos.
