Por que o socialismo ruiu?
Após polarizar a política mundial por sete décadas, em apenas dois anos, de 1989 a 1991, o socialismo europeu ruiu de forma brusca, porém pacífica. De Berlim à Moscou, manifestações da sociedade civil teriam causado a derrubada de regimes impopulares, com incrível facilidade, "libertando" 420 milhões de pessoas. Mas foi isto mesmo que ocorreu? Três décadas depois, com base em novo documentos disponibilizados, memórias publicadas e estudos mais objetivos e menos emotivos, o quadro se mostra bem diverso. Com grande clareza, maturidade e a lucidez que lhe é característica, o pesquisador Paulo Fagundes Visentini analisa e descreve nesta obra esses extraordinários eventos que mudaram o mundo, mas não na direção esperada, como a obra demonstra. O socialismo parecia ter os dias contados, mas em 2021 o Partido Comunista da China comemorou seu centenário, liderando a segunda economia do mundo e os ex-países socialistas da Europa mostram que não se adaptaram ao mundo liberal. O livro supera as visões jornalísticas, superficiais ou ideológicas da época, e apresenta as contradições dos atores e complexidade dos fatos, muitos deles desconhecidos até há pouco.
O Regime Militar e a Projeção Internacional do Brasil
O Brasil, considerado "potência emergente" ou semiperiférica, ganhou notoriedade mundial com a projeção diplomática obtida durante o Governo Lula. Todavia, essa não foi a primeira vez em que o país se projetou mundialmente. O Regime Militar, em um contexto diferente, de Guerra Fria, também realizou uma consistente política global. Para surpresa de muitos, ela foi marcada por autonomia nacional, crítica ao sistema mundial então vigente e focada no desenvolvimento. Através de uma análise acadêmica objetiva, com amplas fontes, o livro ultrapassa o debate político-ideológico e explora as contradições que levaram um regime conservador a realizar uma política externa pragmática e contestadora. As narrativas "entreguistas" e geopolíticas "sub-imperialistas" deram lugar a uma diplomacia ousada

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.
Latin America and the Shifting Sands of Globalization
Latin America occupies an increasingly prominent position within the global political, economic and cultural consciousness, with intra-regional governance structures and multilateral processes now a key topic of interest to foreign policy and international business circles. It has become abundantly clear that outside of Latin America there is a poor understanding of how the shifting sands of regional power are impacting, not only on how regional countries fit into the global system, but also on how intra-regional relations are viewed and managed. The contributions to this collection investigate these issues, examining how changing global power dynamics are in turn impacting on national foreign policies and regional governance structures. The book focuses first and foremost on the Latin American view outwards, not the US or European view to the south. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research.
Africa and the World
Africa and the World: Navigating Shifting Geopolitics is one of the first books to analyse the global geopolitical landscape from an African perspective, with a view to the opportunities and challenges facing the African continent. Authors in this edited volume argue for the need to re-imagine Africa’s role in the world. As a cradle of humanity, a historical fountain of profound scientific knowledge, an object of colonial conquest and, today, a collective of countries seeking to pool their sovereignties in order to improve the human condition, Africa has a unique opportunity to advance its own interests. Authors reflect on all these issues; they outline how developments in the global poli...
Brazil's International Activism
In Brazil’s International Activism Monika Sawicka questions how Brazil’s deep-rooted craving for greatness has led to the quest for status in the twenty-first century and contends that the categorization of Brazil as an “emerging middle power” enriches the understanding of modern Brazilian foreign policy. Drawing on the rich vocabulary of role theory, Sawicka sets out to establish an original theoretical framework that comprises the structural (status), the behavioral (role), and the cognitive-ideational (identity) to assess whether Brazil has performed roles distinguishing a middle power and how the state has reconceptualized them. The model is applied to scrutinize how ideational a...
