Terrorismo: um ensaio sobre suas definições / Terrorism: an essay about its definitions

Colombo, Letícia dos Santos [UNESP] 24 August 2018 (has links)
Submitted by Letícia dos Santos Colombo (leticiacolombo@hotmail.com) on 2018-09-19T01:59:19Z No. of bitstreams: 1 TERRORISMO UM ENSAIO SOBRE SUAS DEFINIÇÕES.pdf: 861813 bytes, checksum: e9d1f8081f1355fbe9298a50565e6e08 (MD5) / Approved for entry into archive by Satie Tagara (satie@marilia.unesp.br) on 2018-09-20T14:20:01Z (GMT) No. of bitstreams: 1 colombo_ls_me_mar.pdf: 861813 bytes, checksum: e9d1f8081f1355fbe9298a50565e6e08 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-20T14:20:01Z (GMT).

A partir de então, o termo passou a ser utilizado para caracterizar métodos e/ou objetivo final de grupos contrários ao poder estabelecido, combinando fatores como medo, violência, ataque a civis e motivação política. Embora estes fatores sejam observados na maioria dos casos, não há um consenso com relação à definição de terrorismo entre os Estados, acadêmicos e organismos internacionais, dificultando a elaboração de estratégias anti e contraterroristas. Assumindo essa tarefa de colocar em debate definições e práticas, política estatal e relações internacionais, terrorismo e violência de atores não nacionais e Estados, a pesquisa tem a intenção de analisar a prevenção e a luta contra o terrorismo a partir das implicações práticas dos diversos conceitos de terrorismo existentes no sistema internacional, principalmente dentro do marco legal dos Estados Unidos, onde há uma diversidade de definições que orientam políticas internacionais de opressão ao fenômeno. / The term "terrorism" was first used at the French Revolution to characterize the régime de la terreur from Robespierre, created to consolidate post-revolution government. Since then, the term has been used to characterize methods and / or end goal of groups opposed to established power, combining factors such as fear, violence, attack on civilians and political motivation. Although these factors are observed in most cases, there is no consensus regarding the definition of terrorism among states, academics and international organizations, making it difficult to elaborate anti-counterterrorism strategies. Assuming this task of discussing definitions and practices, state policy and international relations, terrorism and violence of non-national actors and States, the research intends to analyze the prevention and fight against terrorism from the practical implications of the various concepts of terrorism in the international system, mainly within the legal framework of the United States, where there are a diversity of definitions that guide international policies of oppression to the phenomenon.

A agenda do desenvolvimento na promoção dos direitos humanos: uma análise da política externa brasileira no governo Lula / The agenda of development on promotion of human rights: brazilian foreign policy during Lula's government

João Paulo Marques Schittini 26 April 2011 (has links)
Fundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / Os direitos humanos consolidaram um conjunto de valores ético-políticos considerados fundamentais para assegurar o respeito à dignidade do ser humano. A problemática do desenvolvimento é fundamental para as considerações de política externa de países como o Brasil. A consagração do Direito ao Desenvolvimento (DaD) como um direito humano desafia a divisão artificial dos direitos humanos e revela a evolução temática deste campo de estudo. Essa dissertação usa o instrumental dos direitos humanos para avaliar a relevância e a singularidade de algumas posições brasileiras. Após uma dissonância observada nos anos 1970, reflexo do ciclo autoritário por que passava o país, verificou-se postura cooperativa do Brasil nas proposições que versavam sobre o DaD. No mesmo sentido, observou-se que, conquanto não seja conceito recorrente no discurso oficial brasileiro, as posições do país, no que dizem respeito ao modelo de desenvolvimento defendido e aos direitos humanos, autorizam a inferência de que há uma harmonia em relação aos princípios fundamentais dispostos na Declaração sobre o DaD, de 1986. Da análise das posições brasileiras, tornou-se possível particularizar a política externa do governo Lula. Do levantamento das variáveis internas e externas que exercem influência sobre a formulação política do governo, bem como das iniciativas públicas e dos discursos oficiais, encontramos alguma evidência empírica no sentido de que a política externa brasileira para os direitos humanos, na administração de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, passa por um viés de promoção do desenvolvimento e de crítica à ordem internacional. A política se singulariza por incorporar uma dimensão de valores à crítica. Com isso, harmoniza-se com as posições defendidas pelo país nos plenários internacionais, onde o tema do DaD tem sido objeto de debate. / Human Rights have consolidated a set of ethic-political values considered essential to safeguard the respect to the dignity of the human being. The question of development is fundamental to foreign policy considerations of countries like Brazil. The consecration of the Right to Development (RTD) as a human right challenges the artificial division of Human Rights and reveals the thematic evolution of this major of study. This paper uses the instrumental of human rights to evaluate the relevance and singularity of some of the Brazilian positions. After a certain dissonance observed in the seventies, reflex of the authoritary cycle experimented by the country at that time, a cooperative stance from Brazil in the propositions that dealt with the RTD was verified. In the same sense, it was observed that despite not being a recurrent concept in the official Brazilian speach, the country?s positions concerning the model of development defended and the human rights allow to infer there is an harmony in relation to the fundamental principles placed on the Declaration on the RTD, of 1986. From the analysis of the Brazilian positions, it was possible to individualize the foreign policy of the Lula government. By the stocktaking of the internal and external variables that exert influence on the government?s political formulation, as well as of public initiatives and official speaches, we have found some empirical evidence in the sense that Brazilian foreign policy for human rights during Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva?s administration assumes an attitude of promotion of development and of criticism to international order. It is a singular policy for embodying a dimension of values to such criticism. Hence, it is harmonic with the positions defended by the country in the international plenary assemblies where the matter of RTD has been object to discussion.

Idées fausses, actions erronées : le contexte international comme empêcheur du développement / Mistaken Ideas, Misguided Actions : How the International Context Hinders the Generation of Development

Garay Vargas, Javier Leonardo 26 November 2014 (has links)
L'hypothèse est que le contexte international a une influence négative sur la génération de ces politiques. En raison de l'interaction, les pays ont adopté des idées fausses - et donc - des politiques erronées de développement. En fin de compte, cette approche peut être exprimée en que le contexte international a conduit aux pays moins avancés à ne pas adopter des politiques de libéralisation, d'une part, ou qu'il n´y a pas des incitations suffisantes pour que les institutions formelles et informelles dans ces pays soient favorables à l'adoption de telles politiques, d'autre part.Cette recherche part de la conception selon laquelle c'est l'existence de politiques, institutions et sociétés de nature libérale (c'est-à-dire des sociétés qui sont ouvertes dans le sens proposé par, entre autres, Karl Popper) qui mieux résolvent le problème de la création de richesses. En ce sens, le contexte international n'a pas atteint l'objectif du développement international car il ne favorise pas la génération des sociétés ouvertes.Pour prouver l'hypothèse, la recherche est basée sur les contributions apportées par deux corps théoriques. D'une part, de la scène internationale, on utilise le constructivisme d´Alexander Wendt, Martha Finnemore, Gerard Ruggie, entre autres. D´autre part, pour comprendre l'impact du contexte international au niveau interne, la contribution de la nouvelle économie institutionnelle, entre autres, Douglass North et Elinor Ostrom sont utilisés.De ce qui précède, ce travail est composé de trois parties. La première examine le cadre théorique proposé. Dans le premier chapitre, on fait un examen des concepts clés autour desquels tournera la démonstration. Avec ces concepts, on propose un modèle pour expliquer l'impact soulevé par l'hypothèse et les phénomènes qui sont stimulés afin d'éviter la production de changements aux échecs répétés. Le deuxième chapitre porte sur la démonstration des postulats de la pensée libérale comme essentielle dans les actions conduisant à la création de richesses.Après du débat théorique, la deuxième partie porte sur la démonstration du modèle proposé pour la scène internationale. Cela se fait en trois chapitres. Dans le premier, on fait un parcours historique à travers des programmes promus du régime de développement international pour démontrer deux aspects.Dans le deuxième chapitre, on décrit les principaux acteurs sur la scène internationale et montre, à partir de la relation entre identité - intérêts, les actions et les contributions à la promotion des idées fausses reflétées dans les programmes développés. Le troisième chapitre examine la construction que le régime international de libéralisme intégré a stimulée et les phénomènes qui entravent la promotion de changements dans les idées et dans les programmes proposés, en raison de l'existence d'un phénomène de dépendance du chemin.La troisième partie porte sur l'étude des pays non développés. Dans le premier chapitre on fait une caractérisation générale de ceux-ci, à partir de la proposition faite par Douglass North, John Joseph Wallis et Weingast R. Barry dans son livre la Violence et des ordres sociaux (2010). Le deuxième chapitre montre comment les pays moins développés ont agi sur le régime international du libéralisme intégré. Le troisième chapitre, d'une manière analogue à la partie précédente, montre comment fonctionne le phénomène de dépendance du chemin pour ces pays.En conclusion, le modèle proposé est utilisé pour conjecturer les effets que peut avoir la crise économique qui, depuis 2008, est passée à travers le monde. Il est considéré qu'il y a suffisamment de preuves pour dire que cette crise sera une nouvelle fenêtre d'opportunité manquée et qui permettra d'approfondir la croyance et la promotion des idées fausses, illibérales, qu'entravent les progrès dans la promotion du développement dans les pays qui ont toujours échoué à résoudre les problèmes de création de richesse. / The hypothesis is that the international context has negatively influenced the generation of such policies. Because of the interactions, the countries have adopted wrong ideas - and therefore - misguided development policies. Ultimately, this approach can be expressed in that the international context has led to less developed countries not adopt policies of liberalization, on the one hand, or that there are not sufficient incentives for that the formal and informal institutions in these countries are favorable to the adoption of such policies, on the other.The research departs from the conception according to which it is the existence of policies, institutions, and societies of a liberal nature (i.e. of societies that are open in the sense proposed by, among others, Karl Popper) which best solve the problem of wealth creation. In this sense, the international context has not achieved the objective of international development since it does not promote the generation of open societies.To prove the hypothesis, the research is based on the contributions made by two theoretical bodies. On the one hand, from the international arena, it is used the constructivism of Alexander Wendt, Martha Finnemore, Gerard Ruggie, among others. On the other hand, to understand the impact of the international context at a domestic level, the contribution of the New Institutional Economics, among others, Douglass North, and Elinor Ostrom are used.From the above, the work is composed of three parts. The first examines the proposed theoretical framework. In the first chapter, a review of the key concepts around which the demonstration will turn is made. With these concepts, I propose a model to explain the impact raised by the hypothesis and the phenomena that are stimulated to avoid the generation of changes to the repeated failures. The second chapter examines the demonstration of the postulates of liberal thought as essential in actions leading to the creation of wealth.After the theoretical discussion, the second part focuses on demonstrating the model proposed for the international arena. This is done in three chapters. In the first, I make a historical review of the programs promoted within the international development regime.In the second chapter, I describe the main actors in the international arena and show, starting from the relationship between identity - interests, their actions and contributions in the promotion of the wrong ideas reflected in the programs promoted. The third chapter examines the construction that the international regime of embedded liberalism has stimulated and the phenomena that impede promoting changes both in the ideas and in the proposed programs, due to the existence of a phenomenon of path dependence.The third part deals with the study of the non-developed countries. In the first chapter I depict a general characterization of these, starting from the proposal made by Douglass North, John Joseph Wallis and Weingast R. Barry in his book Violence and Social Orders (2010). The second chapter shows how the less developed countries have acted on the international regime of embedded liberalism. One of the findings is that these have been passive actors, as they are usually understood, but that they have also been source and bearers of misconceptions. The third chapter, in a manner similar to the previous part, shows how operates the phenomenon of path dependence in these countries.In the conclusion, the proposed model is used to hypothesize the effects that can have the economic crisis which, since 2008, has gone throughout the world. It is considered that there is sufficient evidence to say that this crisis will be a new lost window of opportunity and that it will deepen the belief and promotion of wrong, illiberal ideas that they will impede progress in the promotion of development in the countries that still have failed to solve the problems of wealth creation.

The concept of autonomy in Latin America and Brazilian foreign policy / Changing Autonomy in times of PT: Explaining the rise and fall of the Southern Giant

Stipic, Igor January 2015 (has links)
The objective of this thesis is to analyze the concept of autonomy, taking as the case study Brazil under the Workers Party Government (2003-2016). Approach that will be taken aims at combining perspectives of Latin-American structuralism with those of realism and interdependency. Thesis essentially concentrates on two specific issue areas: global economy and international politics. By constructing a theoretical framework, I aspire to identify and analyze various factors considered to have a direct impact on the study matter. In doing so, I consider the behavior of distinct variables and their effect on the degree of autonomy. Finally, thesis addresses problems of international insertion for peripheral countries, considering possibilities and limits of truly autonomous action.

New Middle Ages - Geopolitics of Post-Westphalian World / New Middle Ages - Geopolitics of Post-Westphalian World

Doboš, Bohumil January 2018 (has links)
The thesis applies the neomedieval theoretical framework on the contemporary political map of the world. The thesis argues, that the contemporary international politics cannot be understood by an application of the unified geopolitical setting and that the key divergencies in the geopolitical environment play a crucial role for the actors operating in different regions. As an outcome of the theoretical works dealing with the selected theory, a three-world model is being presented dividing the political map among these settings - Durable Disorder (defined by networking and privatization), Westphalian System (defined by a dominant position of strong centralized state), and Chaotic Anarchy (lacking stable political power and control over means of violence). This model is consequently applied on the global political map with the consequent analysis of the strategies of different actors located inside specific environments and mutual interactions of these three worlds.

Investimento estrangeiro direto no Brasil (1990-2002): aspectos sócio políticos

Moura Junior, Álvaro Alves de 20 April 2010 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-26T14:58:04Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Alvaro Alves de Moura Junior.pdf: 1283736 bytes, checksum: 40acd68a8c26c9b4cbaab6a7ba520e08 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-04-20 / This thesis aims to analyze the impact of the Brazilian economic liberalization process between 1990 and 2002. It focuses on an account of the flows of foreign direct investment (henceforth: FDI) in the period under scrutiny. Its departure point is the view that the foregoing process offers evidence for a new mode of foreign insertion grounded on the political and economic agenda of globalization. More precisely, it advances a perspective built on the conceptual category of capitalist imperialism (HARVEY, 2005) that presupposes a complex arrangement between the State polity, the Empire and the capital accumulation process. In order to undertake the proposed task, it draws on a survey of the theoretical debate over globalization and its impact on the international system. The purpose is to contribute to an improved understanding of how Brazil is positioned within the context. Furthermore, the current work develops a broad explanatory analysis involving foreign as well as Brazilian trade and financial flows. As a result of such new stage of the Brazilian society, it argues for the idea that the adoption of liberalization principles (specifically with regard to internationalization of production) had not only affected negatively the income and employment but enables a reversed income flow (profits, dividends, royalties, intercompany interest) incompatible with the export capabilities of the involved sectors, which in turn might be conducive to challenges to external accounts and eventually hurt political autonomy of the nation / Esta tese tem como objetivo analisar o impacto do processo de liberalização econômica no Brasil entre os anos de 1990 e 2002, enfatizando os fluxos de Investimento Estrangeiro Direto (IED), que no período em questão representou uma das principais evidências do novo modo de inserção internacional do país, que se baseou na internalização da agenda política e econômica da globalização. Tal perspectiva estará baseada na categoria de imperialismo capitalista (HARVEY, 2005), que pressupõe um complexo arranjo entre a política do Estado e do império e o processo de acumulação de capital. Para tanto, basearse- á numa revisão bibliográfica acerca do debate teórico da globalização, e o seu impacto sobre o sistema internacional, de tal modo que se possa empreender uma análise de como o Brasil se insere nesse contexto. Além disso, o presente trabalho também contará com uma ampla análise explanatória, envolvendo os fluxos de comércio e financeiro internacionais e do Brasil. Como resultado dessa nova fase da sociedade brasileira, considera-se que a adoção dos princípios liberalizantes, especificamente no que tange à internacionalização da produção, além de ter afetado negativamente a renda e o emprego, também tem viabilizado um fluxo de renda reversa (lucros, dividendos, royalties, juros intercompanhias) incompatível com a capacidade exportadora dos setores envolvidos, fato que não apenas ressoa sobre as contas externas, mas também pode afetar parte da autonomia política do país

The International System of Refugee Protection: A Regime Analysis

Axelson, Joanna January 2005 (has links)
<p>The thesis examines the international refugee protection system in order to discover whether or not the system constitutes an international regime, as defined by international relations literature. To do so, it formulates a theoretical framework combining neoliberal and constructivist approaches to regime theory. It closely examines the legal documents that provide the normative and procedural framework of the protection system (such as the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, various regional agreements, as well as certain human rights documents) and discusses the legal, political, and moral obligation that these documents instill upon the member states of the protection system. It evaluates the principles, norms, rules, and decision- making procedures provided by the system, and compares them to the necessary criteria of an international regime in neoliberal theory. The purpose of trying to discover whether the refugee system constitutes an international regime is to show that if it is a regime, states are no longer afforded the full freedom of action and decision-making under the doctrine of sovereignty and that they have a certain level of obligation to abide by regime rules and help in the upkeep of the regime. After showing that the system constitutes a ‘strong promotional’ international regime, it discusses the importance of the regime within the international state system. It evaluates how it brings about cooperation and increasedstability within the regime, and lowers the costs of bargaining in order to bring about mutual gains for regime members. The thesis then examines the pre- and post-entry restrictive measures used by countries and attempts to prove whether or not the use of the measures constitutes a change in, or of, the regime, or a potential weakening of the regime. The thesis concludes that while the refugee regime itself is not changing, there is increasing incoherence between the proscribed behaviour of the regime and state action, which translates into a weakening of the regime. The regime analysis discusses the role the refugee protection regime plays within the international system as a whole and how this role is evolving through the use of restrictive measures.</p>

Mocenský vzestup Číny v soudobých mezinárodních vztazích (případová studie) / China's Rising Power in Contemporary International Relations (Case Study)

Koudelková, Tereza January 2013 (has links)
This Master 's thesis focuses on the rising power of China in contemporary international relations. The rise of China faces the post-Cold-War international system with one of the most significant changes in power distribution; as such, it is of significant importance for the entire field of international relations. The thesis aims to evaluate the Chinese rise to power, and determine whether the country should be considered a great power affecting the international system. To achieve this goal, the author performs a two-level analysis based on the theory of realism, which first analyzes China's position as a state and then its impact on the international system. The thesis is divided into six chapters. The first one sets the theoretical framework. Chapters two to five look into China's position of power in the military, economic, political and socio-environmental dimension. The sixth chapter analyzes the influence of China on the international system in the case study of the current China-U.S. relations. The thesis concludes that China could be considered a great power, but only a partial one with a limited impact on the international system.

Such connection merged the Counterrevolutionary War Doctrine with the National Security Doctrines, both practiced by external orientation, either French, or North American; Creating an International System of Repression. The strategies and tactics adopted in the persecutory actions against the "internal enemy" prove this connection; Demonstrating the financing of National States with this practice through the creation of training centers in order to standardize such actions or with the involvement of military attachés, whose most terrifying face is evident in the extermination practices, torture and extrajudicial actions that involved The official armed forces or their illegal arms, such as paramilitaries and death squads / Esta tese versa sobre as conexões repressivas no Cone Sul entre as décadas de 1960 a 1990, verificando como esses países transformaram seus sistemas de segurança no que se pode denominar um sistema repressivo no singular, tendo como fundamento a articulação entre os agentes e a unidade no modus operandi adotado entre as diversas nações deste sub-continente, criando a prática do Terror de Estado. Tal conexão fundiu a Doutrina de Guerra Contrarrevolucionária com as Doutrinas de Segurança Nacional, ambas praticadas por orientação externa, seja francesa, seja norte-americana; criando um Sistema Internacional de Repressão.
