Cette thèse étudie les réseaux et des pratiques de banquiers soviétiques à la tête de banques commerciales appartenant à l'URSS établies sur les places financières en Occident à l'époque de la guerre froide à partir de 1971. Membres de l'élite de la Banque du commerce extérieur de l'URSS et de la Banque d'Etat, ils dirigeaient les filiales à Paris, Londres, Singapour, Zurich et Beyrouth parmi d'autres... Située à la croisée de la sociohistoire financière et de la sociologie des élites et des professions, cette investigation puise dans les archives des banques soviétiques et les récits de vie pour comprendre l'identité professionnelle et sociale particulière de ces banquiers. Malgré l'adoption de sociabilités caractéristiques des élites bancaires transnationales, ils entretiennent un rapport d'allégeance fort quoique ambiguë avec Moscou, centré sur leur rôle de défenseurs des intérêts financiers soviétiques dans la finance mondialisée. L'analyse de leur identité comme "liminale" au sens anthropologique permet de comprendre pourquoi une prosopographie de 140 carrières post-sovétiques les place parmi les managers technocratiques et non les propriétaires de nouvelles banques russes. Le concept de "financial statecraft" exercée au nom de la "sécurité économique" sert de grille de lecture pour expliquer ces trajectoires et propose une clef d'analyse pour comprendre la finance russe internationale contemporaine. / This thesis looks at the networks and careers of Soviet capitalist bankers to analyze how global finance interacted with Cold War- and Russian financial history. Part of the elite of the Bank of Foreign Trade of the USSR and of the Soviet State bank, these bankers managed Soviet-owned commercial banks in the West in Paris, London, Singapore, Zurich and Beirut among other financial hubs. Competing with top western financial institutions, they practiced capitalist finance decades before perestroika reforms. At the crossroads of financial socio-history and the sociology of elites and occupations, this investigation draws on the archives of Soviet banks and life stories to understand the particular professional and social identity of these bankers. Despite the adoption of many sociablities characteristic of transnational banking elites, they maintained a strong but ambiguous allegiance to Moscow, centered on their role as defenders of Soviet financial interests on global markets. The anthropological concept of liminality explains why a prosopography of 140 post-Soviet careers shows that they became technocratic managers rather than owners of new Russian banks. The concept of "financial statecraft" in the name of "economic security" serves as a reading grid to explain these trajectories and offers a key to understanding contemporary Russian international finance.

Resumo: O objetivo desta pesquisa reside na análise dos motivos que explicam a criação do Tribunal Penal Internacional ter ocorrido apenas na década de 1990, precisamente em 1998, sendo que desde o início do século XX já existiam propostas para instauração de uma organização internacional semelhante a essa. Para tanto, são analisados, inicialmente, as origens do processo de internacionalização dos direitos humanos e os antecedentes, tanto institucionais quanto sob a perspectiva dos princípios jurídicos, do Tribunal Penal Internacional. Considerando que as Nações Unidas só voltaram a deliberar sobre este projeto após o término da Guerra Fria, são investigados, também, de que maneira o encerramento desse peculiar conflito, bem como as suas repercussões no âmbito das relações internacionais, influenciaram na retomada e no desenvolvimento das negociações sobre a proposta do Tribunal. Esclarecidos esses motivos, procede-se a uma análise sobre as três fases que compuseram o processo político para a elaboração do Estatuto do Tribunal e culminaram na instauração dessa corte internacional: a inicial, no âmbito da Comissão de Direito Internacional; a intermediária, coordenada pelo Comitê Preparatório, e a final, ocorrida na Conferência de Roma. Encerra-se esta pesquisa discutindo-se os aspectos mais atuais acerca do Tribunal Penal Internacional e os limites da sua criação / Abstract: This research intends to explain the reasons why the International Criminal Court establishment took place just in the nineties, precisely in 1998, but since the begin of the twentieth century there were already proposals for the creation of a international organization like this. In order to accomplish this objective, are analyzed, initially, the origins of the human rights internalization process, and the background, both institutional and from the perspective of legal principals, to the International Criminal Court. Considering that the United Nations just come back to deliberate about this project after the end of the Cold War, are investigated, furthermore, how the end of this particular conflict, including its consequences in the international relations, influenced the resume and the development of the negotiations about the Court proposal. Clarified these reasons, the research is developed with the analysis of the three phases that made up the political process for the elaboration of the Court Statute, and that culminated in the establishment of the International Criminal Court: the first within the International Law Commission, the intermediate, coordinated by the Preparatory Committee, and the final, held at the Rome Conference. This research is concluded by discussing the most current aspects regarding the International Criminal Court and the limits of its creation / Orientador: Samuel Alves Soares / Coorientador: Héctor Luis Saint-Pierre / Banca: Paulo César de Sousa Manduca / Banca: Suzeley Kalil Mathias / Mestre

However the end of the Cold War proved the limits of the containment strategy front the emergence of new and complex challenges. Without a vital security threat, the U.S. had great difficulty to define and promote their national interests. The Post-Cold War era has been marked by a dominance of smaller-scale threats, often transnational in scope, and was characterized, from the beginning, by lack of clarity of Americans with respect to their international objectives. At the end of the 1990s, some authors stated that the U.S. government would have given more emphasis in this context to the promotion of economic, ethnic and humanitarian interests, rather than potentially more vital threats to the survival of the country. These works, however, not delimited the concept of national interest and not identified this from the analysis of an official policy document. Keeping this in mind, we start from the perception that national interests are policies defined by policymakers together with the President to pursue certain goals abroad. As such, those composing, as required by law, the U.S. National Security Strategy. Thus, by analyzing the annual editions of this document, published between 1987 and 2000, the main objective of our work consisted to evaluate whether in the absence of a vital threat to U.S. security in the post-Cold War, it would have taken a redefinition of American national interest s agenda. In short, data showed that during the Clinton administration security interests had reduced their emphasis. The absence of a vital threat and the predominance of secondary threats resulted in a national interest s agenda more focused on "economic well-being and promotion of values" and less oriented to "defense of the nation and favorable world order". This decline of security as a priority issue was also accompanied by a trend of decreasing in U.S. military spending and also a substantial increase in spending on U.S. foreign economic assistance programs, which suggests, in fact, a redefinition of the country's priorities in the Post-Cold War context. / Por mais de quarenta anos a luta contra a expansão do comunismo dominou a agenda de Política Externa dos Estados Unidos. Mas a partir do fim da Guerra Fria revelaram-se os limites da estratégia de contenção diante da emergência de novos e complexos desafios. Na ausência de uma ameaça considerada vital, os EUA tiveram grande dificuldade para identificar e promover seus interesses nacionais. Marcado pelo predomínio de ameaças de menor escala, quase sempre de origem transnacional, o período Pós-Guerra Fria caracterizou-se, de inicio, pela falta de clareza dos norte-americanos com relação aos seus objetivos internacionais. Ao final da década de 1990, alguns autores afirmaram que o governo estadunidense teria dado mais ênfase, nesse contexto, à promoção de interesses econômicos, étnicos e humanitários, em detrimento de interesses potencialmente mais vitais à sobrevivência do país. Estes trabalhos, contudo, não delimitaram o conceito de interesse nacional e nem identificaram este a partir da análise de um documento estratégico oficial. Tendo isto em vista, partimos da percepção de que os interesses nacionais são políticas definidas pelos policymakers em conjunto com o Presidente para atingir determinados objetivos no exterior. Como tais, compõem, conforme estabelecido em lei, a Estratégia de Segurança Nacional dos EUA. Assim, através da análise das edições anuais deste documento, publicadas entre 1987 e 2000, o objetivo principal de nosso trabalho consistiu-se em avaliar se a inexistência de uma ameaça vital à segurança dos Estados Unidos, no período Pós-Guerra Fria, teria levado a uma redefinição de sua agenda de interesses nacionais . Em conjunto, todos os dados demonstraram que no Governo Clinton os interesses de segurança estadunidenses tiveram sua ênfase reduzida. A ausência de uma ameaça vital e o predomínio de ameaças secundárias resultou em uma agenda de interesses nacionais mais focada em bem-estar econômico e promoção de valores e menos orientada à defesa da nação e ordem mundial favorável . Este declínio da segurança como tema prioritário foi acompanhado de uma tendência também decrescente dos gastos militares dos Estados Unidos e também de um aumento substancial nos gastos do país com programas de assistência econômica externa, o que sugere, de fato, uma redefinição das prioridades do país no contexto Pós-Guerra Fria.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo propor uma releitura do papel do Jornal do Brasil como órgão de imprensa que estava inserido nos debates políticos e econômicos que estavam ocorrendo no Brasil entre os anos de 1949 e 1950. O período estudado apresenta como principais características contextuais: o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial, o início da Guerra Fria, o processo de redemocratização do país e os debates referentes à segurança nacional, que terá como foco, a questão do petróleo. As fontes privilegiadas são os editoriais e artigos produzidos no Jornal do Brasil durante este período, que serão analisados sobre três aspectos: a defesa de uma proposta de exploração do petróleo que propugnava a participação de capitais norte-americanos, o discurso defendido pelo JB em relação a esta questão e os artigos que se estruturaram em defesa de um alinhamento político com os EUA, repúdio ao comunismo / The objective of this work is to make a reread of the Jornal do Brasil, as organ of press that was inserted us economic and political debates that were occurring in Brazil between the years of 1949 and 1954. The period studied presents as main characteristics: the end of the Second World War, the beginning of the Cold War, and the redemocratization of the country and the debates regarding national security, that will have like focus the question of the oil. The springs privileged saints the editorial and articles produced in the Jornal do Brasil during this period, that will be analyzed about three aspects: the defense of a proposal of exploitation of the oil with the participation of American capitals, the talk defended by the JB regarding this question and the articles that were structured in defense of a political alignment with the U.S.A., repudiation to the communism

Este trabalho propõe o estudo da ideia de “fim da História”, conforme apresentada pelo cientista político norte-americano Francis Fukuyama. Em um primeiro momento, delimitamos seu conceito de “fim da História” a partir do artigo original The End of History?, de 1989, e de suas publicações seguintes, até o livro The End of History and the Last Man, de 1992. Na segunda parte, após contrastar a ideia ao paradigma de “choque de civilizações”, de Samuel Huntington, aproximamos a estrutura conceitual proposta por Fukuyama de tópicos da teoria da história e história da historiografia relacionados ao conceito moderno de História e sua eventual exaustão identificada por diversos autores. No terceiro momento, o trabalho aborda o percurso da obra de Fukuyama após a repercussão inicial de sua proposta de “fim da História”, até os dias de hoje, buscando eventuais novidades à estrutura conceitual delimitada anteriormente. A título de conclusão, abordamos o cenário atual dos debates da historiografia para especular acerca do futuro do campo do conhecimento e do ofício do historiador. / This work proposes the study of the idea of the “end of History“, as it is presented by the North American political scientist Francis Fukuyama. At first, we delimit the concept from his original article The End of History?, published in 1989, and from his following publications, up to his 1992 book The End of History and the Last Man. In the second part, after contrasting Fukuyama’s idea to Samuel Huntington’s “clash of civilizations” paradigm, we put the conceptual structure proposed by Fukuyama alongside topics regarding theory of history and history of historiography related to the modern concept of History and its eventual exhaustion, already signaled by several authors. The third part approaches the long course of Fukuyama’s work regarding “the end of History”, after the repercussion of his initial article up until the present days, looking for eventual innovations in the conceptual structure previously designed. For the sake of conclusion, we approach the current debates around the topic, to speculate about the future of the field of knowledge and the role attributed to the professional historian.

L’Iraq Petroleum Company (IPC) est un consortium britannique formé le 30 mai 1929 et qui prend la suite de la Turkish Petroleum Company qui opérait sur l’ensemble de l’Empire ottoman. Sa mission est de trouver, exploiter et transporter du pétrole brut provenant de ses vastes concessions au profit de ses actionnaires. C’est l’Irak qui se trouve au cœur de l’entreprise pétrolière que les Majors comptent mener au Moyen-Orient, tout au moins à ses débuts. L’IPC exploite à partir de 1925 une concession qui s’étend à l’est du Tigre. En juillet 1938 et en mai 1939, deux de ses filiales, la Basra Petroleum Company (BPC) et la Mosul Petroleum company (MPC), gèrent respectivement les territoires situés au sud et au nord du 33e parallèle. À la veille de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, c’est donc la presque totalité de l’Irak qui est aux mains du consortium britannique pour une durée de 75 ans. Entre 1948, date à laquelle les Majors américaines prennent le contrôle effectif du consortium, et la nationalisation de tous les avoirs de la compagnie en Irak en 1975, l’IPC doit faire face à de profondes mutations, tant en ce qui concerne l’industrie pétrolière que la situation géopolitique du Moyen-Orient. Tandis que le Moyen-Orient devient la première région exportatrice de pétrole au monde grâce aux efforts des Majors, l’affrontement entre le monde arabe et l’État d’Israël exacerbe le nationalisme des pays producteurs de pétrole. De simples pays hôtes percepteurs de redevances, ceux-ci réclament au nom de la souveraineté nationale et de la lutte contre l’impérialisme de contrôler l’action des Majors et de prendre activement part dans l’exploitation de leurs richesses nationales. Ainsi, l’IPC, avec d’autres consortium pétroliers internationaux opérant au Moyen-Orient, se trouve affectée, voire impliquée, dans les choix diplomatiques que les gouvernements occidentaux développent pour prévenir l’instabilité du Moyen-Orient, zone stratégique essentielle pour leur approvisionnement énergétique dans un contexte de guerre froide. / The Iraq Petroleum Company (IPC) is a British company that, in July 1928, succeeded the Turkish Petroleum Company, which held a concession in Iraq. Since its creation, the IPC had been both an emanation of the major Western oil groups and the concrete expression of the oil policy pursued in the Middle East by the major Western powers, the United States, Great Britain and France. It was a petroleum production consortium whose activities were mainly in Iraq. From his creation in 1929 to his nationalization in 1975, IPC associated all of the Western Majors. In 1932 and in 1938, the Mosul Petroleum Company (MPC) and the Basrah Petroleum Company (BPC) rounded out this system in the southern part of Iraq. So, on the eve of World War II, the area of the concessions covered all Iraq.Until the 1970s, the concession system governed relationships between operating companies and producing countries. In those agreements, the producing countries did not control the amounts produced, the level of exports, or prices. But, as of the 1950s, the complex oil system implemented by the Majors was threatened by the de-colonization movement. The Soviet threat and the Israeli-Arab conflicts strengthened this increasing instability. So the battle for freeing the Arab nation incorporated the fight against IPC to return Arab oil to the Arabs. The revolution of 14 July 1958, which overthrew Nouri Saïd’s pro-Western government and brought General Abd el-Karim Kassem to power, intensified a constant political desire for re-appropriation of the Iraqi oil economy in the name of Iraq’s development and national sovereignty.

Portant sur la période de tensions politiques extrêmes 1937-1982, la thèse propose de considérer autrement le statut de la traduction à partir des œuvres d’Aragon, de Landolfi et de Nabokov, écrivains et traducteurs de Pouchkine. Discutant et prolongeant la pensée d’Henri Meschonnic, ce travail défend, à travers le cas exemplaire de ces écrivains-traducteurs, l’existence de liens étroits entre le contexte, l’écriture et la traduction. Après une présentation des trois circuits éditoriaux principaux de la période, le face à face entre le traducteur et les forces politiques est étudié. L’analyse du corpus de traduction permet de révéler la grande activité d’Aragon, de Landolfi et de Nabokov sur la période considérée. Il s’agit ensuite de réfléchir aux modalités des échanges éditoriaux Est-Ouest en s’intéressant notamment aux anthologies et aux retraductions. La question de l’historicité des traductions de Pouchkine conduit à revenir au contexte. L’étude révèle que les communistes comme les capitalistes refusent de prendre en compte véritablement l’expérience du mal absolu que résume le nom d’Auschwitz. En guise de réponse, le littéralisme, souvent affiché durant la Guerre froide, a eu l’ambition de prendre en compte la volonté de l’auteur disparu. Le choix de traduire Pouchkine entend également apporter une réponse à la division du monde. Pouchkine questionne le face à face dans ses œuvres, le poète russe affrontant ainsi la question du mal tout en proposant une écriture morale. La dernière partie de ce travail défend l’idée d’une continuité entre l’activité de traduction et l’œuvre des écrivains. Elle montre combien le nom, la figure, les œuvres de Pouchkine nourrissent le travail d’Aragon, de Landolfi et de Nabokov. Elle propose enfin de considérer d’une autre manière la prose poétique, la parodie et l’histoire littéraire. / Focusing on the extreme political tensions during the 1937-1982 time span, this work suggests that the status of translation can be considered from a different angle based on the works of Aragon, of Landolfi and of Nabokov, writers and translators of Pushkin. Studying the examples of those writers and translators, discussing and expanding upon the theory of Henri Meschonnic, this work defends the idea that close links exist between context, writing and translation. The three main translation circuits of the period are initially presented introducing the study of the confrontation between the translators and the political forces. A closer look at the corpus of translations shows the important activity of Aragon, Landolfi and Nabokov at that period. The third part of this work concentrates on the ways of editing translations of Russian literature in the West through the study of anthologies of translations and retranslations. The historical character of the translations of Pushkin’s works leads to reconsider their links to the context. The study reveals that Communists and Capitalists refused to actually take into account the Evil experience that the name “Auschwitz” summarizes. In response, on a literary level, literalism promoted by Aragon, Landolfi and Nabokov during the Cold War has for vocation the respect of the will of the deceased author. The decision to translate Pushkin also represents a reaction to the division of the world. The Russian poet questions the conflict in his works and does not refuse to confront the question of Evil through a literary style based on morals. The final section of this thesis promotes the idea of continuity between the translations and the other works of Aragon, of Landolfi and of Nabokov. It demonstrates to what extent the name, the figure and the works of Pushkin influenced those writers and translators. Finally, poetic prose, parody and literary history are reconsidered from an entirely new angle.

No fim dos anos 1970, dois choques externos o segundo salto nos preços do petróleo e o reajuste na taxa básica de juros norte-americana marcam o início de tendências econômicas divergentes entre o Leste da Ásia e a América Latina. Para os prósperos tigres, a próxima década seria uma janela para o chamado catching up, culminando com a promoção simbólica de seu prodígio, a Coréia do Sul, ao status de país desenvolvido quando da realização dos Jogos Olímpicos em Seul. Na América Latina, inversamente, os anos 1980 são geralmente apelidados de Década Perdida, inaugurando uma era de regressão econômica e instabilidade política. A Argentina, provavelmente a menos dinâmica dentre as economias que então se industrializavam, é geralmente evocada como um desastre que tipifica a sina regional. A vasta maioria das investigações acerca desta divergência se concentra nas políticas econômicas domésticas e em seus resultados objetivos. Não obstante, tais políticas foram formuladas e aplicadas sob uma combinação de circunstâncias internacionais e políticas que podem variar consideravelmente de país para país ao longo do tempo. O objetivo deste texto é examinar em que medida algumas das particularidades destes dois casos naquilo que concerne ao processo político interno e à evolução da economia internacional moldaram a reação de cada qual ao cenário adverso. / At the end of the 1970s, a couple of external shocks namely, the second leap in petroleum prices and the readjust of American basic interest rate mark the beginning of divergent economic trends for East Asia and Latin America. For the prosperous tigers, the following decade would be a time for catching up, culminating with the symbolic promotion of its prodigy, South Korea, to the rank of a developed country by the time of Seouls Summer Olympics. In Latin America, inversely, the 1980s are generally nicknamed the Lost Decade, inaugurating an era of economic regression and political instability. Argentina, probably the worlds less dynamic industrializing economy at that time, is usually evoked as a disaster that typifies the regional fate. The vast majority of the investigations about this diversion concentrate on domestic economic policies and their objective results. Nonetheless, such policies were formulated and launched under a combination of international and political circumstances that can vary considerably from country to country and along the course of time. The aim of this text is to examine to what extent have some of these two cases particularities in what concerns to the domestic politic process and the evolution of international economy molded each national reaction to the adverse scenario.

Para isso, analisa diferentes fatos sociopolíticos, econômicos e históricos na contemporaneidade que servem de enclaves para o desenvolvimento da região da África Austral como uma comunidade de segurança. São descritas as origens históricas da comunidade, assim como contextualizadas as divergências prevalecentes entre os Estados-membros da SADC (Comunidade para o Desenvolvimento da África Austral, na sigla em inglês). A presente dissertação apresenta, ainda, uma análise sobre o impacto da fraca qualidade dos governos, a partir do exame do funcionamento das instituições, do grau de liberdade política e dos direitos civis no âmbito interno dos Estados-membros da SADC. Os resultados do estudo revelaram discrepâncias sobre o modo como a política de segurança é conduzida por esses países, o que foi considerado um fator problemático para a constituição efetiva de uma comunidade de segurança regional na área. / The overall objective of this research is to study the impasses of the process of forming the security community in Southern Africa, between 1995 and 2013. In this way, we analyze different socio-political, economic and historical sevices facts in contemporary enclaves for the development of the Southern African region as a security community. The historical origins of the community are described, as well as the prevailing contextual differences between the Member States of the SADC (Community for the Development of Southern Africa, its acronym in English). This thesis also presents an analysis of the impact of the poor quality of government, from the review of the functioning of institutions, the degree of political freedom and civil rights provisions within the Member States of SADC. The study results reveal discrepancies on how the security policy is driven by these countries, which is considered a problematic factor for the effective establishment of a regionally secure community.
