Mercosul como opção estratégica de integração: notas sobre a teoria da integração e estratégias de desenvolvimento

This article intends to discuss the Mercosul as an alternative for the South Cone economic integration. It holds that the theories of economic integration, which were developed on the 1950's, cannot explain the recent processes of economic integration. The core of the recent integration processes is that they set up an integrated economic space, that promote domestic enterpreneurship, but also attract investment of large transnational corporations. That is, the objective of the new model of economic integration is not only the promotion of international trade. Economic integration is basically a toll for a regional strategy of economic development.This article intends to discuss the Mercosul as an alternative for the South Cone economic integration.

Da família bandeirante ao paulista degenerado: o bandeirismo na história paulista

Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação)Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a obra de três autores a respeito do bandeirismo e da importância deste processo na sociedade paulista. Para isso, realizaremos uma explanação do momento e como surgiram as primeiras obras sobre o bandeirismo, tarefa que requereu uma digressão aos séculos XVII e especialmente XVIII, quando os contornos básicos acerca do sertanista são traçados. O foco da presente monografia são três autores do século XX: Alfredo Ellis Jr, Paulo Prado e Sérgio Buarque de Holanda. Assim, mostraremos o panorama da época (primeira metade do século XX), no qual a respeito da história paulista, imperava a “construção do símbolo bandeirante” e realizaremos uma análise expondo as características, semelhanças e diferenças de cada obra selecionada

Commercial Capital, Domestic Market And Manufacturing In Imperial Brazil : The Failure Of Brazilian Economic Development In The XiXth Century

PhD thesisThis thesis examines Brazilian economic development in Imperial Brazil. It explores the reasons for Brazil’s poor economic performance in the XIXth century. To try to answer this question it focuses on the debate concerning the nature of economic development among latecomers in the XIXth century. It considers particularly the Radgar Nurkse-Irving Kravis debate on export-led growth development in the XIXth century and the Rostow-Gerschenkron debate on the nature of the phenomenon of late industrialization in Central and East Europe. This thesis argues that: (i)Brazil’s economic performance in the XIXth century was poor. This failure was due not only to Brazil’s inability to develop a growing manufacturing sector, but also to her inefficiency in improving agricultural productivity using her huge land resources to increase her share of world trade; (ii) Brazil’s failure of economic development was not determined a priori. This thesis rejects those explanations which give structural features as the sole reason for Brazil’s poor economic performance. It argues that internal reasons, expressed in the decisions made by economic and political agents, should be the key for an understanding of Brazil’s economic performance in so far as these decisions could have contributed either to overcome or to reinforce the barriers to economic change;(iii) In this sense the Brazilian failure should be related to her inability to change the internal economic structure. That is, in so far as there was little opportunity for development through the slow process of internal reinvestment of profits by private firms, as happened in the British case, in Brazil the alternative would have been the paths followed by the XIXth century European latecomers, which did not happen in Brazil due to the action and above all the inaction of the Imperial State; (iv) The sucess of coffee, which was due more to the weakness of Brazil’s competitors than to the dynamism Brazil’s coffee industry, was an exception. Brazil, however, was able to benefit enormously from coffee’s success. Nevertheless, despite coffee, Brazil was an economic failure in the XIXth century, but due to coffee Brazil was able in the last years of the XIXth century to create the basis for her dynamic economic growth in the XXth century

This study presents an investigation of the participation of fathers in parent-infant psychotherapy in the context of maternal postpartum depression. Two families participated in this study, both with a child aged between 7 and 8 months old, whose mothers showed depressive symptoms. These families participated in parent-infant psychotherapy lasting approximately 12 sessions. Analysis of the fathers’ participation in psychotherapy showed that their presence during sessions enables the therapy to address aspects of parenthood, and also reduce the feeling of mothers as being the only ones responsible for the family’s process of change. In regard to the technique, the presence of fathers during sessions allows the therapist to see and address the issues concerning mother-father-infant during sessions
