No. of bitstreams: 1 PDF - Thamirys Ferreira Cavalcante.pdf: 27380863 bytes, checksum: 1b5dbd703d9d777364e7f87419553eaa (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-06-30 / CAPES / Beginning from the dynamics of interests that guide the relationship between Brazil and Japan, the aim of this work is to study the Japanese-Brazilian relations, emphasizing the cooperation maintained between the two countries. To carry out the work, it employed the literature on the subject and it was supported by studies carried out by agencies of both governments and by research institutions such as ABC, the MOFA and the IBGE. The text builds itself in an effort to show how cooperation is capable of acting in the design of favorable identifications among countries and draw closer relations through the perception of common interests. Historically, Japanese-Brazilian relations developed in bases defined as complementary interests. These interests associated with changes in the international scenario draw Japan and Brazil closer to each other over the years, turning the mutual perception between them and outlining the contours of interaction structures. Apart from a relationship based on human ties, from the 1950s, new variables were added to these structures, such as trade and technical cooperation. Despite the intermittent character, the Japanese-Brazilian relationship has evolved and surpassed the bilateral sphere, expanding the results of this cooperation to other countries through a fruitful triangular partnership. / Partindo da dinâmica dos interesses que orientam as relações entre Brasil e Japão, o objetivo do presente trabalho é estudar as relações nipo-brasileiras, dando ênfase à cooperação mantida entre os dois países. Para a realização do trabalho, lançou-se mão da pesquisa bibliográfica sobre o tema e do suporte de estudos feitos por órgãos dos dois governos e instituições de pesquisa como a ABC, o MOFA e o IBGE. O texto constrói-se no sentido de demonstrar como a cooperação é capaz de atuar na concepção de identificações favoráveis entre os países e de estreitar relações através da percepção de interesses comuns. Historicamente, as relações nipo-brasileiras têm se desenvolvido em bases definidas como interesses complementares. Estes interesses associados a mudanças na conjuntura internacional fundamentaram a aproximação entre os dois países ao longo dos anos, transformando a percepção mútua entre eles e delineando os contornos das estruturas de interação. Para além de uma relação baseada nos laços humanos, a partir da década de 1950, novas variáveis foram acrescentadas a essas estruturas, como o comércio e a cooperação técnica. Apesar do caráter intermitente, o relacionamento nipo-brasileiro tem se desenvolvido e ultrapassado a esfera bilateral, expandindo os frutos dessa cooperação para outros países através da uma profícua parceria triangular.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar a configuraÃÃo de uma rede de cooperaÃÃo interorganizacional nos LenÃÃis Maranhenses, em seus elementos constitutivos e na sua dinÃmica de funcionamento, visando contribuir para a compreensÃo do fenÃmeno em um destino turÃstico isolado, de bases ecolÃgicas e do desenvolvimento do trade turÃstico local. No Brasil, os estudos sobre cooperaÃÃo interorganizacional ainda sÃo considerados relativamente recentes. No entanto, percebe-se a existÃncia de um nÃmero significativo de pesquisas realizadas com o intuito de traÃar um diagnÃstico sobre o tema levando em consideraÃÃo a realidade do PaÃs. No contexto do turismo, as redes de cooperaÃÃo interorganizacionais sÃo estabelecidas para proporcionar e consolidar um destino turÃstico. Sendo assim, tem-se como foco o estudo da cooperaÃÃo interorganizacional em bases locais, isto Ã, em uma comunidade dedicada à atividade turÃstica e isolada dos grandes centros receptores de turistas, como à o caso da cidade de Barreirinhas, na RegiÃo dos LenÃÃis Maranhenses. A pesquisa possui natureza qualitativa e, quanto aos objetivos, à analÃtica. Quanto aos meios, trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo na modalidade estudo de caso. Foram entrevistados 16 dirigentes de empresas, bem como 4 representantes de ÃrgÃos pÃblicos. A coleta de dados foi realizada mediante entrevistas semiestruturadas no perÃodo de 22 de julho e 01 de agosto de 2012. As categorias de anÃlise foram divididas em 4 grupos a fim de garantir o alcance dos objetivos propostos: (1) estratÃgica; (2) organizacional; (3) social; e (4) polÃtica. Na anÃlise dos resultados utilizou-se anÃlise de conteÃdo e do discurso, com o auxÃlio do Atlas Ti versÃo 6. Os resultados obtidos revelam que, em se tratando da dimensÃo estratÃgica, as aÃÃes de cooperaÃÃo estabelecidas sÃo mais centradas no nÃvel operacional que no estratÃgico, com a presenÃa de prÃticas competitivo-cooperativas entre as empresas. A dimensÃo organizacional mostra que o municÃpio ainda se encontra em processo de amadurecimento no que diz respeito à formaÃÃo de redes de cooperaÃÃo interorganizacional. A dimensÃo social, por sua vez, evidencia que as relaÃÃes entre os atores favorecem o compartilhamento de conhecimentos, informaÃÃes e experiÃncias, mas nÃo de forma igualitÃria. Por fim, a dimensÃo polÃtica revela que hà uma relaÃÃo conflituosa entre o poder pÃblico e as empresas. / This study aimed to analyze the configuration of a network of interorganizational cooperation in LenÃÃis Maranhenses in its constitutive elements and dynamic operation, aiming to contribute to the understanding of the phenomenon in a secluded destination, the ecological foundations and development of local tourism trade. In Brazil, studies on interorganizational cooperation are still considered relatively new. We notice the existence of a significant number of researches done in order to draw a diagnosis on the subject taking into account the reality of the country. In the context of tourism, networks of interorganizational cooperation are established to provide and nurture a tourist destination. Thus, we have focused on the study of interorganizational cooperation on a local, that is, a community dedicated to tourism and isolated from major centers of tourist receptors, such as the city of Barreirinhas in LenÃÃis Maranhenses . The research has a qualitative nature and the aims, is analytic. As for the media, it is a field research in form of case studies. We interviewed 16 business leaders, as well as 4 representatives of public bodies. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews between July 22 and August 1, 2012. The categories were divided into 4 groups to ensure the achievement of the proposed objectives: (1) strategic, (2) organization, (3) social, and (4) policy. In analyzing the results, we used content analysis and discourse, with the aid of Atlas Ti version 6. The results show that, when considering the strategic dimension, cooperation activities established are more focused on the operational level to the strategic, with the presence of coopetitive practices among companies. The organizational dimension shows that the council is still in the process of maturation with respect to the formation of networks of inter-organizational cooperation. The social dimension, inturn, shows that the relationships between the actors encourage the sharing of knowledge, information and experiences, but not equally. Finally, the political dimension shows that there is an adversarial relationship between government and business.

The dissertation examined the South-South cooperation as an alternative development strategy for Southern countries by targeting the collaboration between Brazil and Haiti, two countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Examining development cooperation between Brazil and Haiti could contribute to a better understanding of the central question, why Southern countries engage in South-South cooperation? In the context of the 2008 financial crisis and the ensuing reduction of aid coming from Global North countries to developing countries, South-South cooperation has become an alternative economic and political arrangement from the more traditional North-South framework. For this reason, South-South cooperation between emerging donors and recipients was deemed an important development for the international aid architecture as a whole. A combination of semi-structured interviews and survey questionnaires were conducted to capture the professional, diplomatic and political perspectives of high-ranking officials, leaders and experts on South-South cooperation and Latin American and Caribbean relations. The study’s findings revealed that the benefits and challenges of the South-South cooperation framework does not affect development in a conclusive way.

Historically there have been various discussions on how to achieve development from different scopes and spaces. The vision of development from a global space has undergone a significant evolution to the present day, in particular after World War II, in the context of international development cooperation. Within a regional space, economic cooperation mechanisms have shown to be dynamic and positive for development. This paper aims, firstly, to set forth a review of the evolution of the development vision from a global and regional perspective. Secondly, to analyze contributions in commerce from a regional development perspective through a comparative analysis of the Pacific Alliance and the Latin American Integration Association between 2005 and 2014, as economic cooperation mechanisms in Latin America and the Caribbean that seek development within the same region. / Históricamente han existido distintos debates para alcanzar el desarrollo, desde diferentes ámbitos y espacios. La visión del desarrollo desde el espacio global, ha tenido una importante evolución hasta nuestros días, principalmente después de la II Guerra Mundial, a través de la Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (CID). Desde el espacio regional, los mecanismos de cooperación económica han reflejado ser dinámicos y positivos para el desarrollo. Por ello, el presente trabajo pretende en primera instancia, realizar una revisión de la evolución sobre la visión de desarrollo desde un contexto global y regional. En una segunda fase, busca analizar las aportaciones comerciales, desde una visión del desarrollo regional, por medio de un análisis comparativo de la Alianza del Pacífico (AP) con respecto a la región y a la Asociación Latinoamericana de Integración (ALADI) para el periodo 2005-2014, como mecanismos de cooperación económica en América Latina y el Caribe (ALyC) que buscan un desarrollo dentro de la misma región.

The thesis analyzes two forms of International Development Cooperation, particularly Microfinance and Interregional Cooperation. The goal is to stress these forms and find suitable models for their application in the Czech environment.

This research addressed two main issues that have become evident in studies of interstate cooperation. The first issue has to do with the relationship between cooperation and conflict. Can they be represented on a single, uni-dimensional continuum, or are they better represented by two theoretically and empirically separable dimensions? Granger causality tests were able to clarify the nature of cooperative events. The second issue is related to factors that might facilitate or discourage cooperation with other countries as a foreign policy tool. Factors used to explain cooperation and conflict include domestic variables, which have not been fully accounted for in previous empirical analyses. It is hypothesized that economic variables, such as inflation rates, GDP, and manufacturing production indices affect the likelihood of cooperative event occurrences. The effect of political dynamics, such as electoral cycles, support rates and national capability status, can also affect the possibility of cooperative foreign policies. The domestic factors in panel data was tested with Feasible Generalized Least Square (FGLS) in order to take care of heteroscedasticity and autocorrelations in residuals. The individual case analysis used linear time series analysis.

This dissertation has compiled information about statewide bibliographic databases, their format, their cost, the number of titles and records, how they are being used, what kinds of libraries are using such databases in each state, and the effectiveness of those databases. General information about twenty-eight states' bibliographic databases is included in this dissertation. The users of thirteen states responded to a questionnaire, surveying the effectiveness of the statewide database in their state. The costs to the individual states varies from zero, where all costs are covered by local funds or Library Services and Construction Act fund, up to 4.4 million dollars. Usage of interlibrary loan increase is detailed and explained. There has never been an evaluation of the effectiveness of a statewide bibliographic database. This is a descriptive study of statewide bibliographic databases. No other such study appears in library and information sciences indexes.

Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka hur de mindre kommunala arbetsgrupperna samarbetar inom den kommunala omsorgen samt undersöka vilka metoder de använder sig av i sitt samarbete. I studien användes en kvalitativ metod, det genomfördes fem semistrukturerade intervjuer som utgick från en intervjuguide med respodenter från olika arbetsgrupper inom omsorgen. Det empiriska materialet bearbetades och olika teman utkristalliserades, underrubriker skapades. Det insamlade teoretiska materialet användes för att analysera och diskutera det empiriska materialet. Resultatet visar att arbetsgrupperna är i behov av att samarbetet fungerar och att det krävs utarbetade metoder för att samarbetet ska fungera. Resultatet visar vidare att arbetsgruppens medlemmar upplever att klimatet känslan mellan gruppmedlemmarna sättet att kommunicera utgör förutsättningen för samarbetet.
