Great Power Competition in the Southern Oceans
Great power competition is the watermark of the current global scenario. In this regard, the maritime and naval dimension have a particular relevance on the struggle for regional and global hegemony. This book has the potential to engage with multiple audiences, since develops an analytic approach to understand naval great power competition in the maritime spaces of the Global South. It is set within a neoclassical realism approach, while engaging literature from international relations, international security, and studies on the Indo-Pacific and the South Atlantic security dynamics. The book offers a unique conceptual framework to understand how great powers select their maritime strategies, presents a series of regional and global maritime strategies by the United States, China, Russia and India, while assess their impact in the Southern Oceans, focusing in the Indo-Pacific realm and the South Atlantic.
Business-State Relations in Brazil
In recent years, the spotlight of international attention on Brazil has often been in the area of logistics infrastructure—for example, on its capacity to deal with the high demand expected during the World Cup and the Olympics. However, neither competitiveness nor infrastructure concerns are new for Brazil. In the 1990s, Brazilian policy-makers adopted a series of liberalizing economic reforms that exposed the poor condition of logistics infrastructure and inadequate investment in Brazilian ports, roads, railways and airports. Over twenty years later, the implications of those reforms still colour Brazil’s prospects for development. Mahrukh Doctor’s book evaluates the political econom...
Globalisation and Sustainable Development in Latin America
Many of the contributing social scientists are Latin American, and their ideas are presented in English for the first time here. They combine the two paradigms of sustainable development and globalization to explore how the latter impacts prospects for the former, and consider how best to build partnerships between the state and other agencies of civil society at the national, subnational, and local levels. Among the topics are lessons from the European experience of privatization and neoliberalism, regionalism and globalism as alternative models for Latin American integration, the consequences of privatization in Chile, and case studies of three regions in Brazil.

Handelspolitik in einer multipolaren Welt
Sarah L. Beringer analysiert die Auswirkungen des wirtschaftlichen Aufstiegs Brasiliens im Zuge der Reformen der 1990er-Jahre und zu Beginn des neuen Jahrtausends. Die damit einhergehende Veränderung der handelspolitischen Ausrichtung hin zu einer offensiven, mit geopolitischen Zielen untersetzten Verhandlungsstrategie soll Brasilien als Regionalmacht in Südamerika und global als Führungsnation der Entwicklungsländer positionieren. Dabei lässt sich häufig ein Soft-Balancing-Verhalten gegenüber den Interessen der USA erkennen. Die Autorin untersucht anhand von Fallstudien, wie Brasilien sich vor diesem Hintergrund gegenüber den USA positioniert und welche Erfolge es dabei erzielen kann.

Los desafíos del crecimiento sustentable con inclusión en América Latina
La discusión acerca de la sustentabilidad de los patrones de crecimiento de los países de América Latina se ve acentuada en un contexto de crisis internacional e incertidumbre. El debate se hace aún más necesario cuando se observa que los costos de una posible transición a modelos de crecimiento más “verdes” pueden impactar sobre los grupos más vulnerables, si no van acompañados de medidas que fomenten la productividad, la calidad de los servicios públicos, la innovación, los empleos verdes y las políticas compensatorias. En este marco, el proyecto que ha dado origen a la publicación de este libro ha tenido como principal objetivo analizar la creciente tensión que existe ho...
Notas contemporâneas sobre a política externa brasileira
Política externa é um projeto de poder. Mas o que é o poder? O que é política externa? E qual a funcionalidade do poder para as finalidades da política externa (brasileira)?
