The Politics behind Aid and Cooperation Norms
This book examines the use of norms by British and Brazilian actors in aid/cooperation in the 21st century, unveiling the politics behind norm circulation. Inspired by a constructivist approach, this research analyses actors’ agency in asymmetric international and domestic environments, in which different norms, dissimilar identities, and opposing interests coexist. Regardless of the discourses and theories surrounding the differentiation between North-South and South-South aid/cooperation, British and Brazilian actors use norms to achieve their own goals at the domestic and international levels. Processes of norm circulation in aid/cooperation have a greater impact at the international le...
Modernization Dreams, Lusotropical Promises
New Books Network: Modernization Dreams, Lusotropical Promises What history and motivations make up the discourses we are taught to hold, and spread, as common sense?

However, as a researcher in Europe during her country's Workers' Party era, she kept reading that Africans should be repaid for developing Brazilian society – via Brazil's "bestowal" of development upon Africa as an "emerging power." In Modernization Dreams, Lusotropical Promises, the researcher investigates where these two worldviews might intersect, diverge and date back to, gauging relations between representatives and projects of the Brazilian and Mozambican states, said to be joined in cooperation more than others.

Power and Horizontality in South-South Development Cooperation. The Case of Brazil and Mozambique
The growing importance of new actors in the global political landscape is envisaged as a phenomenon that has led to shifts in international power relations. This is reflected in development cooperation. Countries like China, Brazil, India and South Africa have enhanced their cooperation programs and present their development cooperation as South-South Development cooperation (SSDC) which takes place between countries of the 'Global South'. Both practitioners and scholars ascribe a notion of solidarity and horizontality to South-South cooperation that allegedly distinguishes it from the relationship patterns commonly associated with North-South relations. However, power constellations between...

Entre l’Église et la ville
Au sortir de la guerre civile catalane de 1462-1472, Barcelone, principale cité de Catalogne et grand port méditerranéen, entre dans une phase de reconstruction. Le roi Ferdinand le Catholique transforme les modalités d’entrée au gouvernement municipal, formalise l’accès à la noblesse et implante dans la ville une nouvelle Inquisition sous contrôle royal. Affecté également, le haut clergé cherche sa place, et les chanoines de la cathédrale en particulier tâchent d’assurer leur implantation au sein des pouvoirs urbains en recomposition. Au croisement de l’histoire canoniale et de l’histoire urbaine, cette étude montre comment, au-delà de leurs attributions religieuses, évêques et chanoines, pleinement intégrés à l’élite dirigeante de la ville, sont amenés à jouer un véritable rôle dans la vie publique d’une cité en pleine mutation.
