Brasil-Estados Unidos: a rivalidade emergente (1950-1988)
A obra de referência Brasil - Estados Unidos: a rivalidade emergente (1950-1988) ganha edição revista e ampliada pelo professor Luiz Alberto Moniz Bandeira. O estudo revela que a "tradicional amizade" entre os dois países sempre constituiu um estereótipo ideológico manipulado com o objetivo de influenciar a política exterior do Brasil. Baseado em ampla documentação, Moniz Bandeira mostra como o relacionamento entre as duas potências das Américas nem sempre foi suave e tranquilo. No século XIX, o Brasil suspendeu três vezes (1827, 1847 e 1869) as relações diplomáticas com os Estados Unidos, e não aceitou, passivamente, sua hegemonia, ainda que, até a primeira metade do século XX, dependesse das exportações para o gigante norte-americano.
The World Disorder
This book offers a historical analysis of the geopolitical and geoeconomic competition between the USA and Russia, which has recently heated up again due to the eastward expansion of NATO. The analysis departs from an exploration of the USA’s foreign policy and geopolitical ambitions by illustrating the influence of Wall Street and the military-industrial complex on the country’s political decision-making. The historical review covers a wide timespan, from the Second World War and the birth of NATO, to the wars against Iraq and Afghanistan, to the rebellions that erupted in Eurasia, Northern Africa and the Middle East in the 2010’s, as well as the wars in the Ukraine and in Syria. By doing so, it reveals the influence of US neocons, the US intelligence services and the military complex on the Arab Spring, the Color Revolutions and the armed conflicts in Ukraine and Syria. Ultimately, the book depicts a new era of worldwide instability and disorder, dominated by violence and arbitrariness.
A desordem mundial
Luiz Alberto Moniz Bandeira – um dos grandes especialistas latino-americanos em análise histórica e geopolítica de crimes praticados pelo imperialismo ocidental, em particular o norte-americano, e de seus reflexos no Brasil – investiga como Estados Unidos, Rússia e países ricos da Europa devastam governos, povos e países – especialmente Iraque, Líbia, Síria, Ucrânia –, alimentando movimentos neoconservadores. Assim, promovem o terror, de maneira a criar um ambiente propício para se apropriarem do petróleo e de outros recursos naturais.
Parties as Governments in Eurasia, 1913–1991
This book examines the political parties which emerged on the territories of the former Ottoman, Qing, Russian, and Habsburg empires and not only took over government power but merged with government itself. It discusses how these parties, disillusioned with previous constitutional and parliamentary reforms, justified their takeovers with programs of controlled or supervised economic and social development, including acting as the mediators between the various social and ethnic groups in the respective territories. It pays special attention to nation-building through the party, to institutions (both constitutional and de facto), and to the global and comparative aspects of one-party regimes....
The Second Cold War
This book investigates the geopolitics and strategic dimensions of US-American foreign policy during George W. Bush's and Barack Obama's presidential terms. Based on a vast amount of empirical and historical sources, the author offers deep insights into the recent political developments ('Arabellions') along the axis of Northern Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia, situating them in the context of the global geopolitical and geo-economical Great Game, either latent or overt, between USA/NATO and Russia. The author also analyses the influence of the US on these historical and political processes in the last two decades.
Rivalry and Alliance Politics in Cold War Latin America
The success or failure of foreign policy initiatives in Latin America is heavily influenced by bureaucratic and military background players. Rivalry and Alliance Politics in Cold War Latin America, Christopher Darnton’s comparative study of the nature of conflict between Latin American states during the Cold War, provides a counterintuitive and shrewd explanation of why diplomacy does or doesn’t work. Specifically, he develops a theory that shows how the “parochial interests” of state bureaucracies can overwhelm national leaders’ foreign policy initiatives and complicate regional alliances. His thorough evaluation of several twentieth-century Latin American conflicts covers the gam...
As relações perigosas: Brasil-Estados Unidos
Em AS RELAÇÕES PERIGOSAS, Moniz Bandeira defende a tese de que a primeira hipótese de guerra com que trabalham as Forças Armadas Brasileiras é justamente contra os americanos, numa possível invasão à Amazônia. Pesquisador que não tem medo de expor suas opiniões, Moniz Bandeira aponta erros da gestão Celso Lafer na condução da política externa brasileira durante o segundo mandato de Fernando Henrique Cardoso e revela detalhes do acordo que teria sido firmado entre Lafer e o secretário de Estado americano Colin Powell de não intervir na destituição do embaixador José Maurício Bustani da secretaria geral da OPAQ.
Planting Parliaments in Eurasia, 1850–1950
Parliaments are often seen as Western European and North American institutions and their establishment in other parts of the world as a derivative and mostly defective process. This book challenges such Eurocentric visions by retracing the evolution of modern institutions of collective decision-making in Eurasia. Breaching the divide between different area studies, the book provides nine case studies covering the area between the eastern edge of Asia and Eastern Europe, including the former Russian, Ottoman, Qing, and Japanese Empires as well as their successor states. In particular, it explores the appeals to concepts of parliamentarism, deliberative decision-making, and constitutionalism; ...
Requiem for Revolution
An examination of the Brazilian revolution of 1964 which was not the revolutionary effort that Kennedy had sought. Yet it bore an American, anti-communist imprint. When the president was overthrown, Washington embraced the new regime and gave generous support throughout the 1960s.
