Enigma do paradoxo chinês : uma análise /

Loro, Letícia Cristina Cotrin. January 2013 (has links)
Orientador: André Luiz Correa / Coorientador: Ana Rosa Ribeiro de Mendonça / Banca: Alexandre Sartoris Neto / Banca: Adriana Nunes Ferreira / Resumo: Este trabalho aborda o financiamento do investimento, elemento fundamental para o desenvolvimento econômico, e seus determinantes. Objetiva-se discutir o papel do investimento, entender e avaliar um exemplo de banco de desenvolvimento, por meio de análise empírica. O estudo está estruturado em três eixos, entrelaçados entre si: teórico, histórico e empírico. O objeto da análise empírica é o China Development Bank (CDB), instituição pública que, como banco de desenvolvimento, tornou-se um importante instrumento do governo chinês para a rápida recuperação de sua economia frente à crise econômica mundial (2008- 2009). Para o entendimento dessa instituição, foi necessário analisar as características do atual sistema financeiro chinês, passando pelo processo de abertura econômica, a partir dos anos 1980, chegando até aos impactos dessa crise econômica nesse país. A China convive com o paradoxo de articular, no campo econômico, um regime socialista de mercado com um modus operandi capitalista, que parece criar e disseminar contradições. Esse país é uma das principais economias do mundo, mas não reflete na qualidade de vida da maioria de sua população o que essa posição deveria proporcionar / Abstract: The purpose of this study is to approach investment financing and its determinant basic factors to economic development. The intention is to look into the investment role and, by an empirical analysis, to try to understand and measure the role of a development bank. This study is structured over three basic axes: theoretical, historical and empirical, intertwined to each other when formulating the study. The empirical focus is the China Development Bank (CDB), a public institution that was used by the government in its efforts to drive the fast growing Chinese economy recovery facing the global economic crisis (2008-2009). To understand CDB was necessary analyses the characteristics of the present Chinese financial system and explains how this process of economic opening happened starting in 1980's (and carried on for nearly thirty years) until the recent global economic crisis, bearing in mind that China lives with the paradox of having adopted a market capitalist system as its modus operandi although it is a socialist system. This seems to generate and disseminate contradictions / Mestre

The global financial crisis dissection

Li, Yijun 04 October 2012 (has links)
A financial crisis is consisted by a major event or a series of events. Event analysis can be used to analyse the causes of the financial crisis. In this paper, we use the Bear Stearns event and the Lehman Brothers event to analyse the causes of the Global Financial Crisis, find the weakness of our financial system and therefore, we suggest remedy the regulatory shortcomings and intensify the international cooperation within central banks and international financial organisations.

Imagens da crise: em busca de outras vozes - a crise econômica mundial e as crises permanentes do Brasil / Images of the crisis: searching for other voices - the economic crisis and the permanent crises from Brazil

No. of bitstreams: 1 Maria Lucia de Paiva Jacobini.pdf: 9245099 bytes, checksum: b2341c7f6222d91eab6edc0689cdb417 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-06-24 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Our hypothesis is that the world today is going through several interrelated crises, especially those of the international financial crisis, the modern science paradigm and the permanent crisis that have always been a part of Latin American and, particularly, of Brazil. This research is divided in three parts: in the first, we work with Agamben s figures of the homo sacer, the sovereign, the state of exception as to create metaphors for the international financial turmoil and relate it to the crisis of Western modernity. In the second part, we show how the crisis was in Brazil and that, with its profane characteristics, created a solution to the economic problems different from the solutions proposed by international organizations. Finally, we emphasize the existence of a permanent crisis and of testimonies of its Muselmans, those not narrated by national media. The object of this thesis are the texts (written and pictorial) published by the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo, O Estado de S. Paulo and by magazines Carta Capital and Veja, between the years 2008 and 2012, on the financial and permanent crises. Via the relationship between these stories and theoretical discussion, our goal is to question how the selected newspapers and magazines address our (s) crisis (es) and how they emphasize economic aspects despite the others that distinguish the permanent state of exception. In order to do that, we use photography thinkers such as Kossoy, Barthes, Flusser, Sontag and Belting to approach the use of the image by the media and its power in memory formation about crises, accompanied by Sousa Santos, Laplantine & Nouss, Martín-Barbero, Viveiros de Castro and Mignolo that study the connection between communication and Latin American culture and its internal (profane) mechanisms that face the uniformity widespread by modern science. Lotman s thoughts on memory, in a dialogue with Agamben s notion of testimony, will help to decipher stories told in the news and the need for disclosure of unpublished voices - those of the permanent local crises. Therefore, we believe that there is a complexity in the Latin American context that can accept both Agamben s negativity and the profane possibilities envisioned by Viveiros de Castro. Besides, a reflection on how the media deal with the crises that exist in Brazil and around the world is significant for our understanding of the intentions intrinsic to the choice of news, their images and to their ability to make space for other narratives about the different local stories / Partimos da hipótese de que o mundo hoje passa por várias crises interrelacionadas, com destaque para a financeira internacional, a do paradigma da ciência moderna ocidental e as crises permanentes que atingem a América Latina e, particularmente, o Brasil. Esta pesquisa está dividida em três eixos: no primeiro, trabalhamos com as figuras do homo sacer, do soberano, do estado de exceção propostas por Agamben para criar metáforas para a turbulência financeira internacional e relacioná-la com a crise da modernidade ocidental. No segundo eixo, apresentamos como se deu o cenário de crise no Brasil que, com suas características profanatórias, criou uma solução para os problemas econômicos diferente das receitas determinadas pelos organismos internacionais. Por último, enfatizamos a existência de crises permanentes e de testemunhos dos seus muçulmanos, não narrados pelos meios de comunicação nacionais. O objeto deste trabalho são os textos (escritos e imagéticos) publicados pelos jornais Folha de S. Paulo, O Estado de S. Paulo e pelas revistas Carta Capital e Veja, entre os anos de 2008 e 2012, sobre as crises financeira e permanentes. Através da relação entre essas notícias e a discussão teórica, nosso objetivo é questionar como os jornais e revistas selecionados realmente abordam a(s) nossa(s) crise(s) e como enfatizam seus aspectos econômicos em detrimento de outros que caracterizam o estado de exceção permanente. Para tanto, serão utilizados pensadores da fotografia como Kossoy, Barthes, Flusser, Sontag e Belting para abordarmos o uso da imagem pelos meios de comunicação e seu poder na formação da memória das crises; acompanhados por Sousa Santos, Laplantine & Nouss, Martín-Barbero, Viveiros de Castro e Mignolo que estudam a relação entre comunicação e cultura latinoamericana e seus mecanismos internos (profanatórios) que enfrentam a uniformidade difundida pela ciência moderna. O pensamento de Lotman sobre memória, em um diálogo com a noção de testemunho de Agamben, irá ajudar a decifrar as histórias contadas nas notícias e a necessidade de divulgação das vozes não publicadas as das crises permanentes locais. Portanto, entendemos que há uma complexidade do contexto latino-americano que comporta tanto a negatividade de Agamben quanto as possibilidades profanatórias envisionadas por Viveiros de Castro. Além disso, uma reflexão sobre como os meios de comunicação abordam as crises que existem no Brasil e no mundo é significativa para a compreensão das intenções intrínsecas à escolha das notícias e suas imagens e da sua capacidade de abrir espaço para outras narrativas sobre as diferentes histórias locais

When will states talk? Predicting the initiation of conflict management in interstate crises

Bragg, Belinda Lesley 30 October 2006 (has links)
This research addresses the question of why some crises between states are resolved through negotiated agreements while others result in continued conflict or escalate to war. The model deviates from previous approaches to the study of conflict management in four key ways: 1) management is treated as a conflict strategy rather than an outcome; 2) costs, rather than calculation of the relative benefits of conflict over management, motivate the initiation of conflict management; 3) the conceptualization of costs is broadened to incorporate subjective factors; and 4) issue salience is proposed to determine the threshold at which an actor’s preference for conflict over management changes. The central question this conceptualization raises, therefore, is what factors influence actors’ strategy choices during a crisis. The theory proposes that, when it comes to the initiation of conflict management, it is costs that dominate the decision process. Or as Jackman (1993) so succinctly puts it; “for those confronted with a very restricted range of available alternatives extending from horrendous to merely awful, minimizing pain is the same as maximizing utility”. Both experimental and statistical methodologies are used to test the hypotheses derived from the theory. Original experimental data were collected from experiments run on undergraduate students at Texas A&M University. For the statistical analysis a data set of interstate crises and negotiation behavior was compiled using data from the SHERFACS and International Crisis Behavior data sets and data collected specifically for this research. This multi-method approach was chosen because of the nature of the questions being examined and in order to minimize the limitations of the individual methodologies. The experimental tests demonstrate that the expectations of the model are supported in the controlled environment of the experiment. The results from the empirical analysis were, within the restrictions of the data, consistent with both theoretical expectations and the experimental results.
