Some Faces of True Love

By: Carlos Roberto Carvalho

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

How many times in life do we attempt to decipher those moments of ecstasy when love happens? This overwhelming feeling surrounding us becomes so real that it gives us the illusory sensation of being concrete and palpable. We know we have it, and we regret it when it disappears, but, unfortunately, we have no way to imprison it. We will never tire of the desire not to believe that its manifestation is involuntary. However, we can consider ourselves fortunate to be eternal hunters endowed with extreme sensitivity to detect its nuances. In this book, twelve short stories are presented with different engaging scenarios and, apparently, disconnected from the theme. These short stories, however, do not present novel plots, as the title might suggest. The main objective of the narratives is to immerse the reader in different and genuine ways in which pure love manifests itself. At the end of each chapter, the reader is challenged to reflect on whether the feelings involved, hidden in a subtle way, are some faces of true love.

Urban Planning in Lusophone African Countries

Urban Planning in Lusophone African Countries

By: Carlos Nunes Silva

Urban planning on the five Lusophone African countries - Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and Príncipe - has so far been relatively overlooked in planning literature. Bringing together a team of leading scholars, this book fills the gap by providing an in-depth analysis of key issues in the history of urban planning and discussing the key challenges confronting contemporary urban planning in these countries. The book argues that urban planning is a non-neutral and non-value free kind of public action and, therefore, ideology, planning theories, urban models and the ideological role urban planning has played are some of the key issues addressed. For that reason, the practice of Urban Planning is also seen as the outcome of a complex interrelationship between structure and agency, with the role of key planers being examined in some of the chapters. The findings and insights presented by the contributing authors confirm previous research on urban planning in the colonial and postcolonial periods in Lusophone African countries and at the same time break fresh ground and offer additional insights as new evidence has been collected from archives and in fieldwork carried out by a new generation of researchers. In addition, it outlines possible directions for future research.

Warfare and Shamanism in Amazonia

By: Carlos Fausto

Warfare and Shamanism in Amazonia is an ethnographic study of the Parakanã, a little-known indigenous people of Amazonia, who inhabit the interfluvial region in the state of Pará, Brazil. This book analyzes the relationship between warfare and shamanism in Parakanã society from the late nineteenth century until the end of the twentieth century. Based on the author's extensive fieldwork, the book presents first-hand ethnographic data collected among a generation still deeply involved in conflicts. The result is an innovative work with a broad thematic and comparative scope.

Developmental Macroeconomics

New Developmentalism as a Growth Strategy

By: Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira,José Luís Oreiro,Nelson Marconi

Developmental Macroeconomics: Access to Demand, the Exchange Rate and Growth offers a new approach to development economics and macroeconomics. It is a Keynesian-structuralist approach to economics applied to middle income countries that emphasizes the strategic role of demand in creating investment opportunities that are essential to economic development. It also explores crucial links between short-term full employment and financial stability with medium term growth. While this book emphasizes the central role played by the exchange rate it does not ignore other macroeconomic prices (the interest rate, the inflation rate and the profit rate). It develops a group of concepts and models and blends them together in the model of the tendency to the cyclical overvaluation of the exchange rate in developing countries. According to this model, the exchange rate tends to be chronically overvalued. In so far that this is true the exchange rate ceases to be just a short-term problem to be treated by macroeconomics and becomes central to development economics and should be crucially oriented to manage the exchange rate and keep it competitive at the industrial equilibrium level. The book closes with the presentation of new developmentalism – a national development strategy based on the system of models previously discussed that is both an alternative to old national-developmentalism and to liberal orthodoxy or the Washington consensus.

Brazil, the United States, and the South American Subsystem

Regional Politics and the Absent Empire

By: Carlos Gustavo Poggio Teixeira

Brazil, the United States, and the South American Subsystem

Regional Politics and the Absent Empire

By: Carlos Gustavo Poggio Teixeira

The United States has often acted as an empire in Latin America. Nevertheless, there has been an obvious dissimilarity between U.S. actions in South America and U.S. actions in the rest of Latin America, which is illustrated by the fact that the United States never sent troops to invade a South American country. While geographic distance and strategic considerations may have played a role, they provide at best incomplete explanations for the U.S.’s relative absence south of Panama. The fact that the United States has had a distinct pattern of interactions with South America is thus not captured by the typical concept of Latin America. In Brazil, the United States, and the South American Subsystem: Regional Politics and the Absent Empire, Carlos Gustavo Poggio Teixeira recuperates the virtually neglected literature on regional subsystems. In so doing, Teixeira maintains that researchers of inter-American relations would greatly benefit from a characterization reflecting actual regional realities more than entrenched preconceptions. Such a characterization involves subdividing the Western Hemisphere in two regional subsystems: North and South America. This subdivision allows for uncovering regional dynamics that can help explain the U.S.’s limited interference in South American affairs compared to the rest of Latin America. This book argues that the role of Brazil as a status quo regional power in South America is the key to understanding this phenomenon. Through a historical analysis focusing on specific cases spanning three centuries, this research demonstrates that Brazil, regardless of particular domestic settings, has deliberately affected the calculations of costs and benefits of a more significant US involvement in South America. While in the past Brazil has taken actions that resulted in increasing the benefits of the U.S.’s limited involvement in South America, in more recent times it has sought to increase the costs of a more significant U.S. presence. Teixeira then considers some of the theoretical and political implications of the framework laid out by this research. Brazil, the United States, and the South American Subsystem is a groundbreaking investigation of U.S.-Latin American relations and the politics of imperialism.

WORLD CITIZENSHIP

A possible dream

Some people often use to say that in life we have few privileges. However, most of them fail to measure the greatness of simple, or apparently simple, things like seeing, reading, feeding ourselves, being able to access health services, education, justice, freedom. That simple word contains what, in my opinion, is the greatest wealth we can possess. Freedom to move, think and express ourselves, love and choose who we love. Even destroy or destroy us. This book has made me think about the exercise of freedom, about the way in which the world acts and how we act in it, almost without awareness of what we do, about the way in which we are free to associate, relate and therefore, Freedom forces us (paradoxically) to exercise it within the limits of rationality and responsibility with ourselves and with the planet we inhabit. After all, we have nowhere else to go. What need do we have to establish boundaries, to separate ourselves more each day from the other? Have we ever stopped to think about what the world would be like if we were aware that we could be one, although diverse? This book, like almost never before, has brought me to that point. Dreams, the place of freedom par excellence, can come true if we fight for them with determination. World Citizenship is a possible dream. The articles - chapters that make up this book guide us towards the awakening of individual and collective conscience which, ultimately, is what is desirable, so that we can be citizens of the world, a phrase that has been heard or read many times, but not has been sufficiently well presented or considered. This is a happy exception. The social, economic, cultural, ethnic, and political aspects are addressed clearly, with a language and style that makes it easy to be read and understood. This is not intended to be a book of dogma, but rather a proposal to begin the path towards a better future, built by everyone, compiling the contributions of different visions but that focuses on the Human Being, in our home. Planet Earth. Great progress has already been seen in regional and even international, intercultural, political and economic agreements, which are good, but not so good in terms of the production, distribution, sale and purchase of weapons, substances that, in some parts, are members of the cultural acquis and in others they are considered illegal. These phenomena could well be explained from the perspective of Habermas, Bauman, and others, even at the risk of falling into simplism and/or deterministic reductionism. We are all one, respect for otherness is the key for freedom to be established and thus, the “Global Village” can overcome the crises in which it is immersed, many times due to failures in communication and absence of empathy; the pretension of wanting to impose ideas on others, to dominate through force and not with the force of reason. This is the origin of many unnecessary conflicts. This text is not about proposing a unified vision of Orwell and Huxley, but rather about understanding that we can be united in diversity, as the Baha'i principles clearly state, to cite a current of thought. It is in the communication where we have the best tool to forge a global society, where we can agree on the common goals of the survival and preservation of our habitat, with all that this implies. We have used it efficiently and we have succeeded. Or we have almost achieved it. The creation of blocs such as the European Community, Mercosur, the Arab League, and others, has made it possible to bring together communities similar in thought and interests and thus become stronger to negotiate, assert their rights and defend themselves against possible attacks. However, will it be possible that all groupings can ever be governed by a global control body? Any reader who approaches the text will soon find themselves reflecting on themselves and what they can contribute to improve from within and towards the environment, analyzing concepts such as Globalization and Worlding. It is like a ticket to the world of self- and collective consciousness, allowing you to finally answer whether global citizenship is a possible dream and, if you believe so, set yourself the task of making it a reality. This book does not pretend to be the last word on the issues raised, but it does show us a possible roadmap and, as a conscious reader, I feel obliged to reflect on what I have read, what I have learned, what I can put into practice to make the world a better place, if not already for me, for generations to come.

A Respectable Spell

Transformations of Samba in Rio de Janeiro

By: Carlos Sandroni

A landmark in Brazilian music scholarship, A Respectable Spell introduces English-speaking readers to the rich history of samba from its nineteenth century origins to its emergence as a distinctive genre in the 1930s. Merging storytelling with theory, Carlos Sandroni profiles performers, composers, and others while analyzing the complex ideologies their music can communicate in their lyrics and rhythms, and how the meaning of songs and musical genres can vary depending on social and historical context. He also delves into lundu, modinha, maxixe, and many other genres of Brazilian music; presents the little-heard voices and perspectives of marginalized Brazilians like the African-descended sambistas; and presents a study in step with the types of decolonial approaches to ethnomusicology that have since emerged, treating the people being studied not only as makers of music but also of knowledge. Incisive and comprehensive, A Respectable Spell tells the compelling story of an iconic Brazilian musical genre.

China, Football, and Development

Socialism and Soft Power

By: Emanuel Leite Junior,Carlos Rodrigues

This book uses football as a lens through which to examine China’s economic development, its political economy, and its political thought. Focusing on the Chinese Football Development Plan, this book opens up new perspectives on the concepts of hegemony, soft power, socialism with Chinese characteristics, and China’s rise to the position of geopolitical superpower. Presenting a critical Marxist analysis of “soft power”, and drawing on Gramsci’s conceptualisation of hegemony, this book argues that football can be seen as a resource for seduction and persuasion, and therefore as an instrument to be used in the “hegemonic clash”. Reflecting on the idea of soft power in relation to imperialism and ideology, and standing in contrast to prevailing Western orthodox analyses of Chinese development, this book shows how the “Chinese Football Dream” is a significant component of the “Chinese Dream” of “rejuvenation of the nation” and shows how football can help us to better understand the role of the state as an inducer of development and creative destruction. This is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in sport policy, public policy, sport and society, football, development studies, political economy, or political thought.

Open Economy Macroeconomics in Developing Countries

Open Economy Macroeconomics in Developing Countries

By: Carlos A. Vegh

A comprehensive and rigorous text that shows how a basic open economy model can be extended to answer important macroeconomic questions that arise in emerging markets. This rigorous and comprehensive textbook develops a basic small open economy model and shows how it can be extended to answer many important macroeconomic questions that arise in emerging markets and developing economies, particularly those regarding monetary, fiscal, and exchange rate issues. Eschewing the complex calibrated models on which the field of international finance increasingly relies, the book teaches the reader how to think in terms of simple models and grasp the fundamentals of open economy macroeconomics. After analyzing the standard intertemporal small open economy model, the book introduces frictions such as imperfect capital markets, intertemporal distortions, and nontradable goods, into the basic model in order to shed light on the economy's response to different shocks. The book then introduces money into the model to analyze the real effects of monetary and exchange rate policy. It then applies these theoretical tools to a variety of important macroeconomic issues relevant to developing countries (and, in a world of continuing financial crisis, to industrial countries as well), including the use of a nominal interest rate as a main policy instrument, the relative merits of flexible and predetermined exchange rate regimes, and the targeting of “real anchors.” Finally, the book analyzes in detail specific topics such as inflation stabilization, “dollarization,” balance of payments crises, and, inspired by recent events, financial crises. Each chapter includes boxes with relevant empirical evidence and ends with exercises. The book is suitable for use in graduate courses in development economics, international finance, and macroeconomics.
