A política contra o vírus
Bastidores da mais importante articulação de oposição republicana e democrática ao vírus do bolsonarismo. Nas impactantes páginas de A política contra o vírus – Bastidores da CPI da Covid, os senadores Randolfe Rodrigues e Humberto Costa retraçam o percurso que começou com a trabalhosa colheita de assinaturas para o pedido de instalação da CPI da covid e desaguou nas discussões para redação do relatório final. A comissão desvendou fatos aterradores, mas também foi palco de uma notável articulação pró-democracia. A participação ativa e republicana de lideranças da sociedade civil, o papel decisivo da mídia e dos influenciadores nas redes sociais, e as articulações produtivas entre deputados e senadores que compartilham pouco ou nada em termos de ideologia ou simpatia partidária são algumas das provas de que, no final das contas, a boa política existe. Tudo indica que nos próximos anos seguiremos enfrentando novas variantes dos terríveis vírus que assolam o país — sejam eles o SARS-CoV-2 ou o bolsonarismo. Este livro traz contribuições fundamentais para quem está preocupado em combatê-los.
Geopolitics of Intervention
Lava Jato and the Crisis In this controversial and surprising book: Geopolitics of Intervention, lawyer and political scientist Fernando Augusto Fernandes dismantles the story that Operation Car Wash was (and still is) an unsuspected investigation to combat the crimes of corrupt politicians and prominent corrupt business people. Its primary purpose was to destabilize the PT government, hit the democratic system, destroy national engineering, weaken the oil and gas program, and facilitate the looting of national wealth. All to create the conditions needed for a right-wing liberal government, which ended up resulting in the election of an underdog and the most signifi cant political, economic, social, and health crisis ever experienced by the country.
Populist Governance in Brazil
This book addresses the field of populisms from a contemporary perspective. The book brings a conceptual, qualitative, culturally sensitive and transformative approach to containing populist governance. The authors set out not only examine and compile the most varied conceptual definitions, but also present a theoretical definition in which they recognize a myriad of variable properties of populisms which are strategies commonly used in specific political contexts. Furthermore, with its own methodology, the book shows the use of a working method whose analysis was designed to apply the definition of populism applicable in any national context and answer the following hypothesis: the politica...

Beyond Blood Oil
Leif Wenar’s 2016 book Blood Oil: Tyrants, Violence, and the Rules that Run the World argues that much of the conflict, suffering, and injustice in the world is driven by an archaic rule in global trade that forces consumers to fund oppression and corruption. This oil curse is a major threat to global peace and stability. Wenar sets out Clean Trade policies to lift the oil curse through national legislation that affirms democratic principles. In Beyond Blood Oil, Wenar summarizes and extends his views, setting the stage for five essays from first-class critics from the fields of political theory, philosophy, and energy politics. Wenar replies vigorously and frankly to the critics, making the volume the scene of a highly energetic debate that will benefit all scholars, students, and global citizens interested in global justice, international security, oil politics, fair trade, climate change, and progressive reforms.

Competition
The proliferation of economic agents with market power, especially those operating in the digital economy and which add unprecedented dynamic and complexity to it, has sparked heated discussions among academics, professionals, and competition authorities around the world regarding the effects of their actions on the market and consumers. Unlike classic cartels – a conduct that has been treated as per se unlawful in Brazil, regardless of the production of effects under Brazilian competition law – unilateral conduct falls into a gray area, encompassing different practices with different effects on the market. In this sense, examples of unilateral conduct that may be considered anticompetit...
