The aim of the thesis is to confront predominantly Celtic nations depicted in the comic series about Aste rix by René Goscinny and Albert Uderz with information derived from literary as well as archaeological sources and consequently to describe current stereotypes and political and social events appearing in the series. Since its origin, Asterix series has become a world phenomenon with readers across both the social and age spectrum. Numerous allusions to the recent past, which the authors decided to humorously comment on through their cartoon characters, can be found in the series. However, each of the stories takes place in the historical background of the times around the year 50 BC, and it seems interesting to observe to what extent Uderzo and Goscinny stick to the sources and when their fantasy takes over. Keywords: Asterix, René Goscinny, Albert Uderzo, phenomenon, Celtic nations, ancient times, the Gauls, the Belgae, the Picts, the present nations, international

The 1950s were very important for the Brazilian economic development process. It was a period of intense growth, maturing, and changes in the country. However, along with these transformations, inequalities arose and the political interests of each group in Brazilian society stood out. If, on one hand Vargas sought in his government development linked to economic stability by initiating the partnership with the North American government with the establishment of the Joint Brazil-United States Commission [Comissão Mista Brasil-Estados Unidos (CMBEU)] JK had the intention of promoting growth at any cost, based on these same projects generated by CMBEU. In this way, the search for consolidation of the national industry by Vargas, whether with internal or external resources, was later weakened due to the intense flow of foreign capital observed during Kubitschek s government. Within this context, the economic imbalance became increasingly greater, but as it had been accompanied by economic growth, it was seldom discussed by the society of the time. Thus, the problems generated by inflation and external imbalance, resulting from this disorderly growth, brought problems for the successors of JK and, further on, compromised the Brazilian democracy itself / Uma análise do segundo governo Vargas e do Governo de Juscelino Kubitschek, destacando pontos de rupturas e continuidades é o objetivo desta dissertação. Os anos de 1950 foram de grande importância para o processo de desenvolvimento econômico brasileiro. Foi um período de intenso crescimento, amadurecimento e mudanças no país. Entretanto, junto com estas transformações emergiram as desigualdades e destacaram-se os interesses políticos de cada grupo da sociedade brasileira. Se por um lado Vargas buscou em seu governo o desenvolvimento atrelado ao equilíbrio econômico, ao iniciar a parceria junto ao governo norte americano com o estabelecimento da Comissão Mista Brasil-Estados Unidos (CMBEU), JK visou o crescimento a qualquer custo, baseando-se nestes mesmos trabalhos gerados pela CMBEU. Desta maneira, a busca pela consolidação da indústria nacional por Vargas, quer seja com recursos internos quer seja com recursos externos, foi posteriormente enfraquecida frente ao intenso fluxo de capital estrangeiro observado no governo de Kubitschek. Nesta conjuntura, o desequilíbrio econômico se mostrou cada vez maior, porém como vinha acompanhado pelo crescimento econômico foi pouco discutido pela sociedade no momento. Assim os problemas gerados pela inflação e pelo desequilíbrio externo, resultante deste crescimento desordenado, acarretaram problemas para os sucessores de JK e, mais adiante, comprometeu a própria democracia brasileira

The beginning of the CMBEU tecnical works happened in 1951, July, already in the course of the second Vargas government. This commission reunited Brazilian and North-American technicians and elaborated 41 projects which had the goal to eliminate the bottlenecks in the infrastructure and industry. These project s financing which values approximated US$ 390 millions would be disposed from multilateral institutions as the Eximbank and the BIRD, besides about Cr$ 14 billions (about US$ 690 millions) to be captivated internally. The ascension to the presidency of the United States by the Republican Eisenhower in 1953 concomitant to other reasons to be introduced in this work would represent the end of the CMBEU works and as consequence the interruption of the financing of the elaborated projects. The dissertation searchs to analyze the course of the economic policy in the second Vargas government focused mainly the period after the end of the CMBEU works which importance to the Brazilian Economy pretends to be analysed / Esta dissertação visa apresentar as características essenciais da constituição da Comissão Mista Brasil- Estados Unidos (CMBEU) cujo acordo foi firmado em dezembro de 1950, ainda durante o governo do presidente Dutra (1946-1950). O início dos trabalhos técnicos da CMBEU ocorreu em julho de 1951, já durante o segundo governo de Getúlio Vargas. Esta comissão reunia técnicos brasileiros e norte-americanos e elaborou 41 projetos que tinham por objetivo eliminar os gargalos de infra-estrutura e industriais. O financiamento destes projetos, cujos valores aproximavam a cerca de US$ 390 milhões partiria de instituições multilaterais como o Eximbank e o BIRD, ademais de cerca de Cr$ 14 bilhões (cerca de US$ 690 milhões) a serem captados internamente. A ascensão à presidência norte-americana do Republicano Eisenhower em 1953 concomitante a outras questões a serem apresentadas neste trabalho representariam o fim dos trabalhos da CMBEU e por conseqüência na suspensão do financiamento dos projetos elaborados. A dissertação busca analisar os rumos da política econômica do segundo governo Vargas, focando principalmente no período posterior ao fim dos trabalhos da CMBEU, cuja importância para a economia brasileira pretende ser analisada

Historically, the USA and Russian Federation have been two world powers that used to compete for a dominant power position in the bipolar world and spread influence on less developed countries. Relationships between the USA and Russia have mostly been complex and tense,with several escalation periods during the Cold War. Relationships between the USA and Russia in the 21st century can also be characterized by complexity and ambiguousness. The issues emerged in the process of power struggle created more tension between countries. This study aims to research framing Russia in the National Security Strategy of the United States of America issued from 2002 to 2022. The thesis also includes a history of USA-Russia relationships, and a historical review of the National Security Strategy issued since 1986. The theory that is chosen for the research is social constructivism. Within a single case-study design,I use the framing analysis method to apply to data gathered from the empirical materials –original texts of the National Security Strategy of the United States of America that are total seven within the mentioned period. Along with other conclusions, I found a tendency of negative framing after 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea and the persuasive presence of such positive frames as partnership and development, and negative frames – threat, regress, economic impact and competitive nature of relationships between countries. The degree of attention of the USA towards Russia switched periodically from being reasonably even in four issues of the National Security Strategy to bringing Russia in focus. The USA brought Russia to the most attention in 2022 and was least concentrated on Russia in the 2021 report.
