Diálogos Sul-Americanos
Este livro é resultado da convergência de dois processos complementares. Por um lado, reúne os textos apresentados na quarta edição do Simpósio de Pós-Graduação em Relações Internacionais, evento acadêmico bienal promovido pelo Programa Interinstitucional (Unesp/Unicamp/PUC/SP) “San Tiago Dantas”.

Assim, ambos os processos representam 10 anos de esforços em estudar, compartilhar e informar sobre a Política Externa, especialmente a Política Exterior Brasileira.
What's In, What's Out
Vaccinate children against deadly pneumococcal disease, or pay for cardiac patients to undergo lifesaving surgery? Cover the costs of dialysis for kidney patients, or channel the money toward preventing the conditions that lead to renal failure in the first place? Policymakers dealing with the realities of limited health care budgets face tough decisions like these regularly. And for many individuals, their personal health care choices are equally stark: paying for medical treatment could push them into poverty.
