This period was marked by severe financial and political economic crisis which is, for its results, considered as one of the most unpleasant in our history. Regarding its devastating consequences, it is very often compared to Great Depression, which afflicted people in 1930. Even if there is one decade dynamic development between these two crises, it is possible to observe several similar parallels. The main target of my work is to answer the question, whether these parallels are really similar, through the use of analysis of individual crisis and also through their comparison to economics of USA and other selected European countries (UK, France, Germany). The first subject of our interest will be the analysis of pre-crisis period, which is basically the principle of the whole work. Afterwards I will examine the process of individual crisis itself, together with reactions from the government. This overall comparison should give us information, whether there are the same processes that characterised the development in interwar time nowadays, or whether this resemblance is fully accidental.

The Geograph in its genesis is concerned to analyze some of the spaces transformation factors, so our concern was also focused on the discussion of how Brazilian companies established abroad would be part of a change in the economic o and political order in the period. Seeking to preliminary information respecting national companies investing abroad, we find that the meat industry was highlighted with two large multinationals in the industry: JBS and Marfrig Group. From this we understand what strategies these groups looking for international expansion. We found that in addition to entrepreneurship, both had broad access to public funding from the BNDES and internal and external conditions favorable. Thus we see that the formation of large Brazilian multinationals is still an ongoing process, but already represents a small change to the national business dynamics, acting similarly to other countries, especially when we analyze the current processes in other emerging and developed nations. / Nos anos 2000 observamos que os Investimentos Brasileiros no Exterior tiveram um aumento substancial em relação à outros períodos, e isso se deu por vários motivos que permitiram uma condição favorável tanto internamente quanto externamente. A Geografia desde sua gênese tem a preocupação de analisar alguns fatores de transformação dos espaços, logo, nossa preocupação também está centrada na discussão de como as empresas brasileiras instaladas no exterior fariam parte de uma alteração da ordem econômica e política vigente no período. Buscando informações preliminares à respeito das empresas nacionais que investem no exterior, verificamos que o setor frigorífico tinha destaque com duas grandes multinacionais no ramo: o grupo JBS e o Marfrig. A partir disso buscamos compreender quais estratégias esses grupos buscavam para a expansão internacional. Verificamos que além da capacidade empreendedora, ambos tiveram amplo acesso à financiamentos públicos, junto ao BNDES e condições internas e externas favoráveis. Assim percebemos que a formação de grandes multinacionais brasileiras ainda é um processo em curso, mas que já representa uma pequena alteração em relação à dinâmica empresarial nacional, atuando de forma semelhante à outros países, principalmente quando analisamos os processos correntes nas demais nações emergentes e desenvolvidas.

Essa tese tem por objetivo analisar a crise da escravidão brasileira em perspectiva global entre o período que vai da Guerra Civil norte-americana (1861-1865) à formação do movimento abolicionista nacional (1879-1880). Para tanto, recorreu-se ao emprego de dois planos distintos, porém relacionados de análise. O primeiro consistiu em verificar como os coevos brasileiros nortearam seu horizonte de expectativas sobre a condução da emancipação a partir dos espaços de experiência fornecidos por processos históricos nacionais e globais. O segundo consistiu em examinar como a reorganização da economia-mundo capitalista, as transformações no sistema interestatal e a mobilização social no Brasil e em outras regiões do mundo impactaram os processos políticos e socioeconômicos em curso no Império. Ao unir essas duas dimensões, a pesquisa tem como finalidade última mostrar que a crise do cativeiro no Brasil não fez parte de um aventado século de abolições, mas de uma estrutura ou mesmo de um tempo histórico específico da escravidão negra nas Américas que denomino de segunda era da abolição. / This dissertation analyzes the crisis of Brazilian slavery in global perspective during the period from the American Civil War (1861-1865) to the formation of the national abolitionist movement (1879-1880). To do so, it employs two distinct but related strategies. The first one consists on verifying how Brazilians guided their horizon of expectations regarding how to conduct emancipation based on spaces of experience provided by national and global historical processes. The second is to examine how the reorganization of the capitalist world-economy, the transformations in the interstate system, and social mobilization in Brazil and other regions of the world impacted political and socioeconomic processes underway in the Empire. By uniting these two dimensions, this research ultimately demonstrates that the crisis of slavery in Brazil was not part of a fledged century of abolitions, but rather a specific historical structure or time of black slavery in the Americas that I call second age of abolition.

The concept of hegemony has been an important subject in the 1970s as the US hegemonic position has entered into a decline period. This study aims to underline that the ongoing decline of US hegemony shares substantial analogies with the decline of British hegemony in the late 19th century. As the hegemonic economy enters into contraction period, it starts to experience financial expansion. Today, the US hegemony is in the midst of such an orientation toward the financialization. The study analyzes the historical changes within both hegemonic cases by direct references to the world-system theory and construct a comparative perspective in production, commerce and finance domains respectively to support these arguments.

La mise en place d’une cellule d’Intelligence économique en Côte d’Ivoire, Cas du secteur touristique. Cette thèse porte sur la mise en place d’une cellule d’Intelligence économique en Côte d’Ivoire compte tenu des spécificités culturelles et organisationnelles de ce pays, notamment en matière d’informations. Elle s’intéresse particulièrement au secteur de l’industrie touristique de la Côte d’Ivoire. L'IE fait aujourd'hui partie intégrante de l'économie mondiale fondée sur l'économie du savoir, elle fait de l'information le maillon central de la chaine et permet aux organisations de déceler les opportunités de croissance tout en se protégeant d'éventuelles menaces. Le concept, né au sein de grands groupes issus des pays développés, ne peut souvent pas être appliqué tel quel aux petites et moyennes organisations et encore moins à celles des pays du tiers monde. La Côte d'ivoire peinant à sortir de la crise ainsi que des importants désordres structurels et organisationnels qui minent son économie, a du mal à trouver sa place au sein de cette « nouvelle » culture collective de l'information. Notre démarche consistera, sur la base d'entretiens préalables à toute analyse, à établir un modèle méso économique de cellule d'IE viable en Côte d'ivoire. Sur un plan méthodologique, cette thèse s’articule après une revue de la littérature, à la sélection d’un échantillon de 10 entreprises de l’industrie touristique ivoirienne dans une démarche qualitative reposant sur des entretiens semi-directifs. Elle se décompose en six chapitres, proposant l’aller du général au particulier. Ainsi, le chapitre premier de cette étude propose de comprendre les fondements de l’intelligence. Tandis que le chapitre II s’intéresse à l’IE dans son approche fonctionnelle et que le chapitre III s’intéresse aux PME ainsi qu’à leur pratique de l’IE notamment dans le contexte du sous développement. Dans un second temps, les chapitre 4, 5 et 6 proposent d’approfondir notre étude en effectuant l’état des lieux de l’économie de la connaissance au sein du contexte particulier d’un pays tel que la Côte d’Ivoire mais également du secteur particulier de notre étude, à savoir, l’industrie touristique ivoirienne. S’ensuit la mise en exergue de facteurs clés de succès de l’IE au sein de l’entreprise ivoirienne appuyée par le cas pratique portant sur l’échantillon sélectionné. Ces travaux permettent la mise en relief les attentes et les besoins des acteurs d’un secteur donné en matière d’IE et d’aboutir à une série d’actions à réaliser pour la pratique de l’IE dans le contexte ivoirien, au sein de l’activité choisie. Dans une logique réplicative, ce plan de mise en œuvre pourra être appliqué à l’ensemble des secteurs sur la base des attentes des acteurs de ceux-ci. / This thesis focuses on the establishment of an economic Intelligence in Côte d'Ivoire given cell specificities cultural and organizational of this country, particularly with regard to information. It is particularly interested in the sector of the tourism industry in Côte d'Ivoire. Business Intelligence is today part integral of the world economy based on the knowledge economy, it is the central link in the chain information and enables organizations to identify growth opportunities while protecting any threats. The concept, born within large groups of developed countries, often cannot be applied as to small and medium-sized organizations and even less to those of the countries of the third world. Côte d'Ivoire struggling to get out of the crisis and important organizational and structural disorders that undermine its economy, has difficulties to find its place in this 'new' collective culture of the information era. Our approach will be based on prior interviews to any analysis, to establish a model meso economic IE cell viable in Côte d'Ivoire. On a methodological level, this thesis is structured after a review of the literature, to the selection of a sample of 10 companies of the Ivorian tourism industry in a qualitative approach based on semi-structured interviews. It breaks down into six chapters, offering the go from the general to the particular. These work highlighted the expectations and needs of the actors in a given area in Business Intelligence and lead to a series of actions to achieve for the practice of Business Intelligence in the Ivorian context, within the chosen activity. In replicative logic, this implementation plan can be applied to all the sectors on the basis of the expectations of the actors.

Aus dem Vorwort: „Bereits vor 50 Jahren zeigte ein Forscherteam um Donella und Dennis Meadows am MIT in einer vom Club of Rome initiierten Studie mögliche Zukünfte der Weltwirtschaft unter Einbeziehung der globalen Wirkung von Industrialisierung, Bevölkerungswachstum, Unterernährung, Ausbeutung von Rohstoffreserven und Zerstörung von Lebensraum auf. Heute – ein halbes Jahrhundert später – haben diese Szenarien nichts an Aktualität verloren. Sie sind vielmehr verstärkt ins Bewusstsein gerückt. Themen wie globale Ressourcenknappheit, Klimaveränderung, Bevölkerungswachstum, Verantwortung und Generationengerechtigkeit im ökologischen, ökonomischen und sozialen Sinne sind heute allgegenwärtig und prägen weite Bereiche unseres Lebens und Arbeitens. Das Prinzip der Nachhaltigkeit, erstmals 1713 von Hans Carl von Carlowitz schriftlich formuliert, gehört heute zur Vision und Philosophie fast jedes Unternehmens und ist wesentlicher Bestandteil von Wissenschaft und Bildung....” / from the preface: „As early as 50 years ago, a team of researchers around Donella and Dennis Meadows at MIT showed possible futures of the world economy in a study initiated by the Club of Rome, taking into account the global impact of industrialisation, population growth, malnutrition, exploitation of raw material reserves and destruction of living space. Today – half a century later – these scenarios have lost none of their relevance. On the contrary, they have become more prominent. Topics such as global resource scarcity, climate change, population growth, responsibility and intergenerational fairness in the ecological, economic and social sense are omnipresent today and influence wide areas of our life and work. The principle of sustainability, first formulated in written form by Hans Carl von Carlowitz in 1713, is now part of the vision and philosophy of almost every company and is an essential ingredient of science and education....”

Having as a theoretical paradigm the concepts of modes of production and social economic formation , passing by the primitive accumulation problematic and, finally, the count of dependency theory, according to Theotônio dos Santos/Marini s conceptions, the thesis of Fernand Braudel and Immanuel Wallerstein establish our Dissertation. Capitalist International relations are divided between core and periphery, as well as capitalism is divided between capital and labor. Hence, peripheral nations present, in opposition to core nations, a kind of development composed by historical and structural contradictions that insert them in dependency state. O objective of this Dissertation is to analyze and identify these contradictions meanwhile discussing also about why dependency achieves concrete-theoretical status, not being merely a scientific-verbal tool. The analyzed period goes since XVI century until XX century, but just pointing out that we not do a historical perspective and yes a theoretical perspective / O tema geral da pesquisa é a análise da formação das sociedades dependentes a partir da perspectiva da longa duração, a partir da identificação das principais contradições que põem em movimento a reprodução da dependência e, ao lado dela, do subdesenvolvimento. Tendo como paradigma teórico os conceitos modo de produção e formação econômico social , passando pela problemática da acumulação primitiva e, finalmente, o enquadramento da teoria da dependência, segundo as concepções de Marini/dos Santos, as teses de Fernand Braudel e Immanuel Wallerstein fundamentam nossa dissertação. As relações Internacionais capitalistas são polarizadas entre nações centrais e periféricas assim como o capitalismo é polarizado entre capital e trabalho. Por isso, as nações periféricas apresentam, em oposição às nações centrais, uma forma de desenvolvimento composta de contradições históricas e estruturais que os insere na condição da dependência. O objetivo desta Dissertação é analisar e identificar estas contradições procurando discorrer também acerca do por que a dependência atinge status teórico-concreto, não sendo apenas um recurso verbal-científico. O período analisado engloba desde o século XVI até o século XX, mas com a ressalva de que não fazemos uma retrospectiva histórica, mas sim teórica
