Economia, meio ambiente e comunicação
Com o enorme avanço da degradação ambiental nas últimas décadas, e suas crescentes conseqüências biofísicas, sociais e econômicas, há uma consciência cada vez mais nítida do caráter crucial dessa problemática, tanto por parte dos governos e instituições civis como dos cidadão comuns. Nesse contexto, os meios de comunicação têm a obrigação de dedicar espaços cada vez maiores à questão, cumprindo seu papel de antenas das preocupações coletivas e porta-vozes dos debates que percorrem a sociedade. Este livro, fruto de um curso homônimo realizado pelo Centro de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (CDS) da Universidade de Brasília, oferece subsídios para melhorar a cobertura...
The Brazilian Amazonia in Change II
In the Brazilian planning region “Amazônia Legal”, deforestation of rain forests for the extraction of mineral resources, cattle breeding, soybean farming, transport infrastructure and hydropower plants was carried out without regard for the indigenous people and regional socio-ecological vulnerability. The implementation of damaging mega-programmes caused disastrous environmental problems. Large-scale destruction of biodiversity, rising temperatures and instability of precipitation not only pose a threat to the region, but also have global impacts on climate change. Over the last two decades, parts of Amazônia Legal have evolved from a CO2 sink to a source of CO2 emissions.

The Tropical Silk Road
This book captures an epochal juncture of two of the world's most transformative processes: the People's Republic of China's rapidly expanding sphere of influence across the global south and the disintegration of the Amazonian, Cerrado, and Andean biomes. The intersection of these two processes took another step in April 2020, when Chinese President Xi Jinping launched a "New Health Silk Road" agenda of aid and investment that would wind through South America, extending the Eurasian-African "Belt and Road Initiative" to a series of mine, port, energy, infrastructure, and agrobusiness megaprojects in the Latin American tropics. Through thirty short essays, this volume brings together an impre...
Decadent Developmentalism

Brazilian History
This book offers the reader a critical and interdisciplinary introduction to Brazilian history. Combining a didactic approach with insightful historical analysis, it discusses the main political, cultural, and social developments taking place in the Latin American country from 1500 to 2010. The historical narrative leads the reader step by step and in chronological succession to a clear understanding of the country’s three main historical periods: the Colonial Period (1500-1822), the Empire (1822-1889), and the Republic (1889-present). Each phase is treated separately and subdivided according to the political developments and successive regional forces that controlled the nation’s territory throughout the centuries. At the end of each section, an individual chapter discusses the foremost cultural and artistic developments of the period, engaging perspectives on literature, music, and the visual arts, including cinema. Through its multifaceted approach, the book explores economic history, foreign policy, education and social history, as well as literary and artistic history to reveal the multiethnic and culturally diversified nature of Brazil in all its fullness.
