In the 1950s–80s, Brazil built one of the most advanced industrial networks among the "developing" countries, initially concentrated in the state of São Paulo. But from the 1980s, decentralization of industry spread to other states reducing São Paulo's relative importance in the country's industrial product. This volume draws on social, economic, and demographic data to document the accelerated industrialization of the state and its subsequent shift to a service economy amidst worsening social and economic inequality. Through its cultural institutions, universities, banking, and corporate sectors, the municipality of São Paulo would become a world metropolis. At the same time, given its rapid growth from 2 million to 12 million residents in this period, São Paulo dealt with problems of distribution, housing, and governance. This significant volume elucidates these and other trends during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, and will be an invaluable reference for scholars of history, policy, and the economy in Latin America.
Levantando o debate acerca de políticas públicas pensadas e concretizadas em territórios geralmente periféricos ou rurais, este livro é resultado do V Fórum do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Desenvolvimento Territorial da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ) e do I Seminário Oeste Metropolitano do Rio de Janeiro. Vale lembrar que o Oeste Metropolitano do Rio engloba cinco municípios - Itaguaí, Seropédica, Queimados, Japeri e Paracambi -, além de partes de Nova Iguaçu e Rio de Janeiro. Com o objetivo de mostrar o que anda sendo estudado, mas mais do que isso, de ampliar o debate e o interesse sobre a pesquisa em relação a esta região, a obra tem como pano de fu...
El Comité Organizador del 56º Congreso Internacional de Americanistas (ICA) publica las actas del encuentro celebrado en la Universidad de Salamanca el 15 al 20 de julio de 2018. Bajo el lema «Universalidad y particularismo en las Américas», reflexionó sobre la dialéctica entre la universalidad y los particularismos en la producción de conocimiento, un diálogo en el que la necesidad de conocer los particularismos de los fenómenos sociales, políticos, artísticos y culturales obliga a formular nuevas hipótesis que enriquecen y replantean las grandes teorías generales de las ciencias y las humanidades. El carácter interdisciplinario e inclusivo que ha caracterizado al ICA desde s...
