The term is sometimes loosely used as a replacement for emerging economies, but really signifies a business phenomenon that is not fully described by or constrained to geography or economic strength; such countries are considered to be in a transitional phase between developing and developed status.

Mexico presents a unique case in which much of the nation’s...
As intensas mudanças sociais que estão ocorrendo nos colocam diante de inúmeros questionamentos: como lidar com o novo usando ferramentas criadas para outros contextos? Como não tender a ver o novo como patologia e, por outro lado, não deixar de ver a patologia que pode estar no novo?

Na busca individual por felicidade e realização pessoal que nos caracteriza, como sustentar a família no que ela tem de irredutível: a transmissão dos elementos necessários para que dela surja um sujeito? Retomando princípios básicos da psicanálise de casal e família e com muitos exemplos clínicos, este livro procura refletir sobre essas questões.
