Maritime Security Challenges in the South Atlantic
This edited volume focuses on the South Atlantic regional and national issues with maritime implications: naval policy, security, transnational organized crime, and Europe's legacy and current influence. The work analyzes the positions in favor and against NATO’s extended role in the South Atlantic, the historical and current issues related to the Falklands War, the African national deficits, and initiatives to attend the regional maritime problems. Including contributions from Angolan, Brazilian, Senegalese, and US collaborators, the volume offers eclectic conceptual frameworks, rich historical backgrounds, updated data, original analysis models, and policy recommendations.
Bolsonarismo
Bolsonarismo: The Global Origins and Future of Brazil’s Far Right documents the rise of the far-right alliance that emerged in Brazil in 2020 around the figure of former president Jair Bolsonaro. Unlike a cohesive organization with uniform practices, Bolsonarismo is marked by fragmentation and a broad variety of ideologies. Fernando Brancoli delves deeply into how Bolsonarismo has developed a specific political orientation through its partnerships with other groups, practices, and subjectivities within Brazil, as well as internationally. Through interviews, archival research, and newly available public documents, this book presents a comprehensive and compelling portrait of the neo-evangel...
A Nova Geopolítica do Indo-Pacífico
Desde 2017, o mundo vem testemunhando o ressurgimento do Diálogo de Segurança Quadrilateral (Quad), um fórum de cooperação em defesa que reúne Estados Unidos, Japão, Índia e Austrália.

Virtual Biorefinery
This book presents a concise framework for assessing technical and sustainability impacts of existing biorefineries and provides a possible road map for development of novel biorefineries. It offers a detailed, integrated approach to evaluate the entire biomass production chain, from the agricultural feedstock production and transportation, to the industrial conversion and commercialization & use of products. The Brazilian sugarcane biorefinery is used as a case study; however, the methods and concepts can be applied to almost any biomass alternative. Chapters explore the main issues regarding biorefinery assessment, including feedstock production and transportation modeling, biofuels and green chemistry products, as well as assessment of sustainability impacts. This book is a valuable source of information to researchers in bioenergy, green chemistry and sustainability fields. It also provides a useful framework for government agencies, investors and the energy industry to evaluate and predict the success of current and future biorefinery alternatives.

National perspectives on a multipolar order
The global distribution of power is changing. But how should we make sense of this moment of transition? With the rise of new powers and the decline of seemingly unchallenged US dominance in world politics, a conventional wisdom is gaining ground that a new multipolar order is taking shape. Yet multipolarity – an order with multiple centres of power – is variously used as a description of the current distribution of power, of the likely shape of a future global order, or even as a prescription for how power ‘should’ be distributed in the international system. To understand the power of the different – and sometimes competing – narratives on offer today about the changing global order, a global perspective is necessary. This book explores how the concept of a multipolar order is being used for different purposes in different national contexts. From rising powers to established powers, contemporary debates are analysed by a set of leading scholars to provide in-depth insight into the use and abuse of a widely employed but rarely explored concept.
Forças armadas e política no Brasil republicano vol.2: a Nova República (1988-2018)
Por que e para que estudar forças armadas? Em 2024, completaram-se 60 anos do golpe militar que nos legou mais de duas décadas de ditadura. A eleição de Jair Bolsonaro à presidência da República em 2018 e as movimentações políticas de militares antes, durante e depois de sua eleição trouxeram a caserna de volta ao centro do debate político do Brasil. A invasão das sedes dos três poderes em 8 de janeiro de 2023, assim como as denúncias de apoio à interrupção violenta da democracia, levantou dúvidas sobre a lealdade de parte dos militares, inclusive dos altos-comandos, ao governo ou à Constituição. Isso mostra o quão viva ainda é a visão anacrônica, dentro das forças armadas e em parte da sociedade, de que os militares são um poder legítimo para a interferência em assuntos políticos domésticos. Este segundo volume cobre aspectos referentes à instituição militar no período da Nova República, indo da Constituição Cidadã à eleição de Jair Bolsonaro em 2018, encerrando um ciclo que se abre e se fecha com o preconício militar na política.
Power Dynamics and Regional Security in Latin America
This volume explores the repercussions of a changing world order on regional security in Latin America. It examines how global and regional power shifts impact on the evolution of regional institutions as well as on state policies adopted in response to regional security challenges such as border conflicts, political instability, migration, drug-trafficking, organized crime, and terrorism. Contributions to this volume analyze the topic from three angles: power dynamics and its effects on regional security governance; the contribution of regional institutions to the management of security challenges; and the impact of power dynamics on states’ shifting security priorities. Written by specialists from Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, the United States and Europe, the chapters weave theory and case studies to provide a rich description of the impact of power and politics on regional security in Latin America. This book is an invaluable resource for students, scholars and practitioners interested in Latin American politics, regional cooperation, and war and conflict studies, as well as international security and international relations in general.
