Business & Populism
Business and Populism analyses the relationship between right wing populism and business with a focus on business responses and strategies in the face of the global populist turn. In the neoliberal era business had become accustomed to favourable economic policy regimes and governance arrangements that facilitated business influence on key policy issues. The rise of populist movements in various parts of the world is widely perceived as a significant challenge to policymaking, mainstream political parties and even to liberal democracy. Yet we know very little about the impact of populism on business, beyond the fact that the anti-elite challenge of populism frequently targets business with p...
O Que é Felicidade?
A felicidade é um tema censurado. Muitos evitam falar dela. Ao mesmo tempo é uma palavra que sempre retorna nas conversas e na reflexão sobre a vida. O que é a felicidade? É possível ser feliz? Nós somos felizes? Como ser feliz? Essas são questões recorrentes sobre esse tema. Poucos pensadores trataram da felicidade, mas as religiões e a literatura menor sempre a tematizam. Marcus Gomes não traz uma receita de como ser feliz, mas traz uma definição e reflexão introdutória sobre felicidade, sobre sua relação com os seres humanos, com a sociedade, e, por fim, aponta caminhos possíveis para se buscar a felicidade. Essa é uma obra importante para todos que buscam a felicidade.

Governance, Resistance and the Post-Colonial State
The manifestation of the colonial nation-state as a legal-bureaucratic-police structure – an exploitation tool – undermined customary modes of governance in colonies. When post-World War II independence of colonies transferred ownership of the state structure to the colonized elite, electoral and civil society politics battled for capture of this post-colonial state. Meanwhile, the state was also forced to build its legitimacy in the face of customary governance practices seeking rehabilitation and decolonization in the midst of civil wars and strife. This "state-building social movement" was further complicated with the global spread of neoliberalism and neocolonialism, and herein lies the significant difference between the post-colonial nation-state and the Western nation-states. This book fills the gap in literature and argues that it is necessary to foreground discussions of the nature of the post-colonial nation-state in examining resistance and provides a window into the dynamics of the post-colonial state and its implication in everyday organizing and resistance.
Marx e a Questão da Consciência
A consciência, sob as mais variadas formas, tais como a ciência, a filosofia, o “senso comum”, a religião, sempre foram alvos de análises, reflexões, especialmente no âmbito da ciência e da filosofia. Marx foi um dos pensadores que mais desenvolveu análise da consciência e suas formas. A coletânea organizada por Marcus Gomes busca analisar elementos da teoria marxista da consciência. Assim, temas fundamentais no pensamento de Marx, como a ideologia, a dialética, a autoconsciência, o materialismo histórico, o conceito de consciência, a crítica do idealismo, entre outras relacionadas, são analisados a partir de uma perspectiva crítica que visa resgatar a análise marxista da consciência e livrá-la das deformações e simplificações que acometeram essa concepção. Essa é uma leitura importante para quem quer compreender Marx e a questão da consciência.

The New Permanent Establishment
This work is the result of an extensive research into the permanent establishment concept, a concept that plays a vital role within the international taxation system through the fair allocation of taxing rights over cross-border business profits in the context of the tenuous balance between the residence and source principles, as a threshold for source taxation. Our research sought to explore and explain the evolution of this concept in the context of recent changes resulting from the joint work of the G20 and the OECD, namely under the aegis of the BEPS Project (Action 7), and later with the enactment of the Multilateral Instrument and the update to the OECD Model Convention. We also address the Portuguese permanent establishment concept and, finally, the future of the permanent establishment concept within the international taxation system.
