Todos sabemos o quanto a formação de professores é um processo complexo, exigente e árduo. É complexo porque envolve um conjunto de aspectos não muito fácil e simples de serem entendidos. É exigente porque requer dedicação e esforço. E é árduo porque o caminho a ser percorrido impõe várias dificuldades que deverão ser superadas. O que, num certo sentido, faz com que o processo de formação docente seja assim caracterizado é o conjunto de dimensões humanas que se deve levar em consideração para que ele seja efetivado. Ou seja, engana-se quem pensa que apenas aspectos cognitivos e epistêmicos devem ser ressaltados, sem considerar os aspectos acadêmicos, políticos, socia...
Coffee and Transformation in São Paulo, Brazil advances a distinctive interpretation of the dynamism of the São Paulo region since the latter part of the nineteenth century. Large and entrepreneurial coffee landlords opened the frontier to the west of the state capital, playing a key role in making the state and Brazil the world's largest coffee producer for international markets. However, many of the immigrant settlers from Italy, Japan, Spain, and other countries emerged as major actors in the last phase of frontier expansion in western São Paulo. A substantial number of them found ways to become independent agriculturalists or enact new careers in commerce, industry, and services in the network of towns emerging in this region. This volume pays close attention to the political and economic implications of this region's process of segmentation and transformation, including their links to regionalism, political conflict, and the Revolution of 1930.

Ambition theory suggests that scholars can understand a good deal about politics by exploring politicians' career goals. In the USA, an enormous literature explains congressional politics by assuming that politicians primarily desire to win re-election. In contrast, although Brazil's institutions appear to encourage incumbency, politicians do not seek to build a career within the legislature. Instead, political ambition focuses on the subnational level. Even while serving in the legislature, Brazilian legislators act strategically to further their future extra-legislative careers by serving as 'ambassadors' of subnational governments. Brazil's federal institutions also affect politicians' electoral prospects and career goals, heightening the importance of subnational interests in the lower chamber of the national legislature. Together, ambition and federalism help explain important dynamics of executive-legislative relations in Brazil. This book's rational-choice institutionalist perspective contributes to the literature on the importance of federalism and subnational politics to understanding national-level politics around the world.
