A Multidimensionalidade da Paz
No ano em que se celebra o décimo quinto aniversário do programa de doutoramento em Política Internacional e Resolução de Conflitos (PIRC), este livro recolhe contributos dos/as nove primeiros/as doutores/as nele formados/as. Os ensaios agora publicados são sínteses das teses de doutoramento defendidas no programa e dão nota, por isso, do património de reflexão inicial construído neste contexto e que, desde então, tem vindo a ser acrescentado e aprofundado temática e metodologicamente. Através destes nove estudos, é partilhada com a comunidade de leitores uma leitura do mundo que tem a construção de uma paz multidimensional como seu foco e que exprime os caminhos percorridos nos primeiros quinze anos por este laboratório de debate e de reflexão que é o Doutoramento PIRC. Expressando a pluralidade de abordagens que é assumida por este programa doutoral, este conjunto de estudos adota ângulos diversos de abordagem da centralidade dessa paz exigente e multidimensional no sistema internacional contemporâneo.
Burned
Was a monstrous killer brought to justice or an innocent mother condemned? On an April night in 1989, Jo Ann Parks survived a house fire that claimed the lives of her three small children.

But more than a quarter century later, a revolution in the science of fire has exposed many...
