International Development Assistance and the BRICS

This book aims to bring together a series of analyses on international development assistance in the BRICS, the group of countries that includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The BRICS states comprise approximately 3 billion people (~40% of the World’s population) and in terms of GDP account for 16.8 trillion dollars (~22% of the World’s economy). Over the last decade the loose coalition has evolved to become a formal partnership on both economic and political fronts. The first formal meeting of the then-four BRIC countries took place in 2006 during the United Nations General Assembly. This was followed in 2009 by the first summit of BRICS' heads of state, an event which has been convened annually ever since. On 3-5 September 2017, the ninth BRICS Summit was hosted in Xiamen, China. This book, an anthology of scholars based in BRICS countries, provides invaluable insights into the emerging global south coalition, and will be of interest to scholars, employees of NGOs, and China watchers.

Retratos da Pandemia

O triênio 2020/2022 entrará para a história. O que parecia uma mera crise viral em Wuhan, até então uma desconhecida província chinesa, assumiu dimensões fúnebres. Em pouco tempo, a Covid-19, doença causada pelo novo coronavírus, identificada em dezembro de 2019, se alastrou pelo mundo e causou milhões de mortes. As primeiras semanas foram marcadas pela perplexidade. Em meio à busca por informações seguras, todos procuraram entender o que acontecia e encontrar meios de proteção. A partir da experiência chinesa, autoridades científicas do mundo inteiro recomendaram medidas de isolamento social, higienização constante das mãos e uso de máscaras de proteção facial. Ao me...

Industrialist John Paul Getty famously quipped, “The meek shall inherit the earth, but not its mineral rights.” Throughout history, natural resources have been sources of wealth and power and catalysts for war and peace. The cases studies gathered in this innovative volume examine how the intersection of ideas, interest groups, international institutions, and political systems gave birth to distinctive regulatory regimes at various times and places in the modern world. Spanning seven continents and focusing on both advanced and developing economies, the case studies explore how the goals and modes of regulation have changed in response to new economic realities, demands from power brokers and the broader public, and rules and norms for what is considered legitimate government action. Together, the contributors show that regulatory regimes in resource-dependent nations have played a decisive role in the international political economy. They also offer unique insights into why some resource-rich countries have flourished while others have been mired in poverty and corruption.

O Regime Jurídico da Expulsão de Estrangeiros no Brasil: Uma análise à luz da Constituição Federal e dos Tratados de Direitos Humanos

  • Categories: Law

"A percepção do estrangeiro como um elemento estranho a ser tratado com desconfiança ensejou a elaboração de legislações de caráter hostil no século XX, que não coadunam com a realidade da mobilidade humana, cada vez mais presente no século XXI... Não tenho dúvida que a legislação brasileira atual passará, em curto ou médio prazo, por uma intensa renovação na temática da expulsão para sua adequação à normatividade pro homine do século XXI, na linha do que é defendido por Pardi. Quando isso ocorrer, o presente livro será sempre citado como aquele que – de modo pioneiro e corajoso – mostrou o caminho a ser trilhado pelo legislador brasileiro. Esse é o papel da investigação científica séria como é a presente obra, que tenho a honra de prefaciar." In Prefácio de André de Carvalho Ramos.
