Os arquitetos da política externa norte-americana
O século XX foi considerado por muitos como "o século da América", no sentido de que foi durante o seu transcorrer que os EUA se tornaram, indiscutivelmente, a maior potência econômica, política, militar, cultural e tecnológica do planeta. O século XXI começou sob o impacto dos atentados terroristas de 11 de setembro de 2001, cujos desdobramentos colocaram em xeque a primazia absoluta dos EUA em vigor desde o fim da Guerra Fria, e prossegue, em especial após a crise financeira global de 2008, com sucessivos e graves questionamentos sobre a capacidade americana de ainda exercer hegemonia mundial e sua possível substituição como principal ator geopolítico do mundo. Por isso, um t...
Os conflitos internacionais em múltiplas dimensões
Oriundo de seminário realizado na Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo, este livro traz reflexões sobre as razões que exigem o estudo dos conflitos entre as nações, os critérios teóricos e metodológicos empregados, os paradigmas tradicionalmente usados em segurança internacional e a sua validade no mundo contemporâneo, contribuindo, assim, para o aperfeiçoamento da área no Brasil.
Maritime Security Challenges in the South Atlantic
This edited volume focuses on the South Atlantic regional and national issues with maritime implications: naval policy, security, transnational organized crime, and Europe's legacy and current influence.

Contemporary U.S.-Latin American Relations
Drawing on the research and experience of fifteen internationally recognized Latin America scholars, this insightful text presents an overview of inter-American relations during the first two decades of the twenty-first century. This unique collection identifies broad changes in the international system that have had significant effects in the Western Hemisphere, including issues of politics and economics, the securitization of U.S. foreign policy, balancing U.S. primacy, the wider impact of the world beyond the Americas, especially the rise of China, and the complexities of relationships between neighbors. The second edition of Contemporary U.S.-Latin American Relations focuses on U.S. neig...
The Political Economy of Integration
This book assesses South America’s most ambitious attempt at economic integration, Mercosur. It explains the main—and inherent—weaknesses of the integration effort, through explicit comparison with the European experience with integration. Jeffrey Cason argues that the three main reasons for Mercosur’s limited success are weak domestic political institutions in the member countries, vulnerability in the global political economy, and a serious imbalance in the economic and political weight of the member countries. In addition to providing this overarching explanation for Mercosur’s limitations, the book tells the story of Mercosur’s genesis, development, and frustrations. This book provides both an explanatory framework for understanding Mercosur and a story. It considers how Mercosur emerged, why it was greeted with great enthusiasm (and huge trade growth), and how it hit stumbling blocks as it sought to be more than it was capable of being. The book also focuses on how and why developing countries are inherently limited in any economic integration project.
Routledge Handbook of Democratization
This exciting new handbook provides a global overview of the process of democratization, offering chapter by chapter discussion at both the country and regional levels and examining the interaction between the domestic and external factors that affect the progression of countries from authoritarian to democratic rule.

It is structured thematically into four broad sections: Section I provides a regional tour d’horizon of the c...
Unsettling Brazil
"In this work, Desirée Poets posits that contemporary Brazil is a settler colony. Based on ethnographic research and her experiences growing up in Brazil, the book tells the stories of communities in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Belo Horizonte-two quilombos, two Indigenous movements, and a favela-to unravel the continuities and discontinuities of Brazil's settler colonial structure. As Poets argues, settler colonialism is renewed through expectations of Indigenous and quilombola authenticity as well as through militarization, incarceration, genocide, and marginalization that continuously attempt to dispossess and eliminate Black and Indigenous peoples from the political landscape, includ...
