Os conceitos de "fronteira ideológica", "inimigo interno" e a própria flexibilização do termo "comunismo" conduziram os governos autoritários do Brasil e do Cone Sul a um alinhamento ideológico e à cooperação na área de segurança que se materializaram, entre outras formas, na constituição de uma comunidade de informações. No Brasil, as atividades de busca, coleta e produção de informações em âmbito interno estiveram sob o controle do Serviço Nacional de Informações (SNI) e, externamente, a cargo do Centro de Informações do Exterior (CIEx), o qual teve significativa importância na consolidação e difusão da perspectiva anticomunista no continente sul-americano. Sua existência e seu vínculo com o Ministério das Relações Exteriores suscitam questionamentos sobre a participação deste em atividades realizadas durante o regime autoritário, ainda que sempre tenha buscado manter uma imagem de neutralidade quanto às questões de política interna, e indica um possível envolvimento diplomático na Operação Condor. As informações reveladas pelos documentos oficiais recém-abertos e as raras e divergentes opiniões de pesquisadores sobre a participação do Itamaraty no regime militar são fontes de análise desta pesquisa, cujo objetivo é compreender o funcionamento do CIEx durante o regime militar brasileiro,...

The concepts of "ideological borders", "internal enemy" and the flexibility given to the term "communism" led the Brazil and Southern Cone's authoritarian governments to an ideological alignment and cooperation in the area of security, which has turned into a Constitution of a community of information. In Brazil, the National Information Service (NIS) was in the control of collecting the activities reports collection and producing of information in the internal scope, whereas the External Information Center (EIC) played an important role in the consolidation and dissemination of anti-Communist perspective on the South American continent. Its existence and its link with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) raise questions about the participation of this Ministry in activities held during the authoritarian regime, although it has always sought to maintain an image of neutrality on the issues of domestic politics, and indicate a possible diplomatic involvement in Operation Condor. The information revealed by the newly opened official documents and the rare and divergent opinions of researchers on the participation of the MFA in the military regime are sources of analysis of this research, whose goal is to understand the functioning of EIC during the Brazilian military regime, take into consideration three forms of action that it has taken over its existence. This analysis compares the dynamics of development of the national intelligence system in major world powers and the Southern Cone countries', especially Brazil, where the creation of a mechanism like EIC reflected the "reexternalization" of ideological conflict. / Mestre

Partimos da discussão sobre os fundamentos da Hegemonia Britânica, argumentando como desde o seu início ela era baseada em sua preponderância no comércio internacional, o que atrelou seu posterior desenvolvimento econômico industrial às questões do setor de serviços, dos transportes e do poder naval. Contudo, ao dar vazão ao investimento ferroviário, a industrialização possibilitou a expansão por terra do espaço econômico a partir do qual novas indústrias poderiam surgir. Países como os Estados Unidos e a Alemanha tomariam as conexões ferroviárias como ponto de partida para articular economias nacionais em escalas maiores de produção, distribuição, capacidades organizacionais e científicas. Essa é a base econômica sobre a qual uma nova rivalidade política, fundada na simbiose entre o capital nacional e o Estado e crescentemente apoiada no nacionalismo, passaria a se expandir no final do século conforme inovações militares diminuíam as possibilidades de resistência. A concorrência entre capitais nacionais colocou em marcha um expansionismo político que dividiu o mundo em áreas de influência crescentemente hostis que, ao assumir uma forma bipolar, resultou na Grande Guerra / Abstract: The theme of this research is a deeper analysis of the connections between economic structures of productive organization and its counterparts in the political game of modern states as they developed in the Long Nineteenth Century, with the goal of advancing in the understanding of modern imperialism. Our discussion begins with the bases of Great-Britain Hegemony, where we argue how since its beginning it was based on its primacy in international commerce, which embedded its later economic-industrial development to the questions of the service sector, transportation and maritime power. However, by harnessing the railway investment, industrialization allowed a landed expansion of the economic space where new industries could emerge. Countries like the United States and Germany would take railways as a starting point to articulate national economies in larger scales of production, distribution and organization. There lies the economic root upon which a new political rivalry, based on the symbiosis between national capital and the state and supported by nationalism, would begin to expand by the end of the century as new military innovations diminished resistance possibilities. Competition between national capitals put forth a political expansionism that divided the world in areas of influence growingly hostile that, once in a bipolar form, resulted in the Great War / Mestrado / Historia Economica / Mestre em Desenvolvimento Econômico

This dissertation offers a new interpretation of the middle decades of nineteenth-century Egypt, which were decisive in forming Egyptian modernity. This period is usually understood as merely the precursor to the direct colonial rule that followed. Instead, this dissertation argues that the reigns of Sa‘īd (1854-1863) and Ismā‘īl (1863-1879) were defined by Egypt’s unique legal status. During this period, Egypt was neither a sovereign state, nor directly ruled by the Ottoman Empire, nor annexable to any other empire. This peculiar legal status led to the emergence of Egypt as an object of “the universal.” This term is taken from the unusual name of the “Universal Company” that was created to build and operate the Suez Canal. The term denoted a new commercial domain, external to Europe and shaped by, yet equidistant from, the continent’s competing empires.The attempts to develop European capital outside the existing empires necessitated the construction of a new legal and political order. Taking the construction of the Canal as a vantage point through which to explore the consolidation of this new order, the dissertation focuses on three aspects. First, I show how both Ottoman-Islamic and European precedents contributed to the formation of the universal. I outline social and legal changes, spanning the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, that allowed the extension of the European company-form to the Ottoman world in the nineteenth century; trace the rise of Egypt as a pivotal link of imperial communications in the first half of the nineteenth century; and investigate the implications of the political tensions between the Ottoman Sultan and his viceroy in Egypt in the 1830s. Second, I explore the consolidation of the universal legal domain in Egypt. I argue that the inter-imperial dispute over the construction of the Suez Canal led to the emergence of the company as the object of the universal, and that, in the following decades, the company’s directors catalyzed the entrenchment of a “universal” commercial domain in Egypt in the period between 1868 and 1876. Finally, I explore the implications of the universality of Egypt on the rise of modern government. I focus on the legal transformations, including the formation of the Mixed Courts, that foreshadowed the establishment of modern courts; changes in the command of labor that gave rise to Egyptianness as a collective identity; and the indebtedness of the government that precipitated the emergence of an independent (non-Ottoman) state apparatus with compromised sovereignty.

With the success of a leftist revolution in Nicaragua and a civil war against a strong revolutionary movement in El Salvador, Central America has become one of the flash points of world politics. The two revolutionary movements, which adhere to similar ideologies, emerged in countries with similar historical roots and similar socio-economic background. This thesis analyzes the question why the Nicaraguan revolution was successful after one and a half years of general insurrection, whereas the Salvadorean revolutionary movement has failed so far in gaining power. The author looks at four major factors which seem crucial for revolutionary success: Breadth of the Revolutionary Coalition, Military Strength and Strategies, Role of the Church, and External Influences. The comparative analysis shows that three of these four factors favor the Nicaraguan revolutionaries. In contrast to El Salvador, the Nicaraguan revolutionary coalition included all major classes, not only the lower classes and parts of the middle class. When compared to the government forces, the Nicaraguan guerrillas were stronger than the Salvadorean. Furthermore, the counterstrategy of the Nicaraguan government was not as systematic and sophisticated as in El Salvador. In contrast to Somoza, the Salvadorean government has gotten strong U.S. support and the Salvadorean movement does not get the same support from other states that the Nicaraguan revolutionary movement received. Only the role of the Church is in favor of the Salvadorean revolutionaries. The Salvadorean Church was more active in promoting Liberation Theology and thereby helped to make the people conscious about the social injustices prevailing in the country and to organize the lower classes. / Master of Arts

This dissertation is a cross-national, empirical study of human rights conditions in a dynamic international political economy. The scope of the examination covers 176 developed and developing countries from 1980 through 1993. Through evaluating the numerous theoretical aspects of human rights conceptualization, I draw upon Shue's framework and consider whether there are indeed "basic rights" and which rights should fit into this category. Further, I address the debate between those who claim that these rights are truly universal (applying to all nations and individuals) and those who argue that the validity of a moral right is relative to indigenous cultures. In a similar vein, I empirically investigate whether various human rights are interdependent and indivisible, as some scholars argue, or whether there are inherent trade-offs between various rights provisions. In going beyond the fixation on a single aspect of human rights, I broadly investigate subsistence rights, security rights and political and economic freedom. While these have previously been addressed separately, there are virtually no studies that consider them together and the subsequent linkages between them. Ultimately, a pooled time-series cross-section model is developed that moves beyond the traditional concentration on security rights (also know as integrity of the person rights) and focuses on the more controversial subsistence rights (also known as basic human needs). By addressing both subsistence and security rights, I consider whether certain aspects of the changing international political economy affect these two groups of rights in different ways. A further delineation is made between OECD and non-OECD countries. The primary international focus is on the effects of global integration and the end of the Cold War. Domestic explanations that are connected with globalization include economic freedom, income inequality and democratization. These variables are subjected to bivariate and multivariate hypothesis testing including bivariate correlations, analysis of variance, and multiple OLS regression with robust standard errors.

Dans la cadre de la Guerre Froide, comment la Chine – un Parti-État au bloc socialiste – s’entend-elle avec la France – un pays du camp capitaliste ? Et quels rôles jouent le PCF et les Maoïstes français ? Cette thèse présente les éléments idéologiques et réalistes dans les relations sino-français depuis 1949 à 1969. Au début, les deux pays s’opposent à cause des guerres d'Indochine et Corée. Les échanges politiques et économiques officiels sont rompus. Le PCF devient le pont principal qui relie deux pays par ses entreprises ou associations comme l’Association des Amitiés franco-chinoises.Après la Conférence de Genève, la relation bilatérale s’améliore et certains canaux de communication sont créés. Mais la détente est limitée en raison des États-Unis et du problème de Taïwan. Dans cette période, le PCF et ses organisations de masses aussi jouent des rôles importants dans la relations sino-françaises. Et les chinois apprécient les informations et suggestions proposées par le PCF. Mais le gouvernement français est vigilant sur les activités avec des éléments idéologiques ou politiques.La troisième partie marque l'établissement des relations diplomatiques. Mais Charles de Gaulle reprend le pouvoir et ne choisit pas de reconnaitre la Chine immédiatement. Et la Chine adopte une attitude indifférente envers de Gaulle en raison des problèmes idéologiques. Cependant, les conflits sino-soviétiques et les affaires indochinoises la poussent à changer ses attitudes en 1961-1962. A la suite de la détérioration des relations avec le PCF et de la résolution des problèmes algériens, les rôles idéologiques qui empêchent la rétablissement des relations sino-français s’affaiblit.Bien que les relations sino-françaises se développent très vite, les difficultés restent. La Révolution culturelle et Mai 68 exercent un impact négatif. Conclusion, comment arranger buts réalistes et ambitions idéalistes dans les politiques étrangères, c’est une question importante pour les deux pays. / In the context of the Cold War, how PRC, a party-state in the socialist bloc, got along with France, a nation in the capitalist bloc? And what roles the PCF and French Maoists played between two countries? This thesis presents the ideological and realistic elements in Sino-French relations from 1949 to 1969.At first, these two countries were opposed in the Indochinese War and the Korea War. The official exchanges were broken. The PCF became the main bridge linking the two countries by its enterprises or associations, like the Association of Franco-Chinese Friendship.After the Geneva Conference, the bilateral relationship improved and some communication channels were created. But the American foreign policies and the Taiwan issue were still barriers. In this period, the PCF and its mass organizations also played important roles in the Sino-French relations. And the Chinese government appreciated the information and suggestions provided by the PCF. But the French government was alert to the ideological or political elements in the activities.In 1958, Charles de Gaulle returned to power, but he did not choose to recognize China immediately. And China adopted an indifferent attitude towards his government because of the ideological problems. Following the deterioration of relations between the PCF and the PCC and the resolution of the Algerian problems, the ideological roles that prevented the restoration of Sino-French relations were weakening.Although the bilateral relationships developed quickly after the establishment of Sino-French relations, the difficulties still remained. The Cultural Revolution and May 68 had a negative impact on their relations. Until the autumn 1968, the attitudes of the Chinese leadership toward France returned to normal.To sum up, the ideological elements in Sino-French relationship always exist. But realistic interests became more and more important and encouraged the two countries to improve their relations. A peaceful coexistence is a consensus for both China and France.

Dada sua definição e a forma como opera na atualidade, o refúgio pode ser caracterizado por dois momentos: o anterior à determinação do status de refugiado - o qual congrega as condições de vida que levam à fuga e legitimam o reconhecimento como refugiado -; e o posterior - o qual consiste das condições de vida no país de acolhida (a chamada fase de proteção). O instituto do refúgio vincula dois âmbitos que visam garantir a proteção internacional do indivíduo: o regime internacional dos direitos humanos e o regime internacional dos refugiados. Atualmente, tem-se reconhecido a relação entre essas duas esferas, principalmente no que se refere à aproximação histórica e filosófica, contudo, ainda há posicionamentos que defendem a não-existência de tal vinculação. Esse trabalho visa desenvolver uma análise sobre a relação existente entre direitos humanos e refúgio nos momentos anterior e posterior à determinação do status de refugiado. Em relação ao primeiro, visando demonstrar a impossibilidade de desvinculação entre a concepção contemporânea da proteção internacional dos refugiados e o reconhecimento e a garantia dos direitos humanos, argumenta-se, a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica, que a violação de direitos humanos é sempre o motivo que leva à determinação da condição de refugiado. No que concerne ao segundo, visamos analisar como o ACNUR, principal organismo para o trato da questão, tem se manifestado em relação aos direitos humanos dos refugiados nos países de acolhida - partindo do exame de algumas de suas publicações e apontando como a política internacional tem se configurado como fator central para a forma como o ACNUR se expressa em relação à violação desses direitos nos países de refúgio. / Given its definition and the way it operates in the present, the refuge can be characterized by two moments: the one before the refugee status determination process - which comprises the life conditions that lead to the flight and justify the admission of a refugee in another country -; and the one after this process - which consists of the life conditions in the asylum country (the so-called protection phase). The refuge bonds two domains which aim to assure the international protection: the human rights international regime and the refugee international regime. Presently, it has been recognized that there is a fundamental tie between these two spheres, mainly in relation to the historical and philosophical approximation, nevertheless, there still are opinions which advocates against such linking. This research aims to develop an analysis about the relation that exists between human rights and refuge in the moments before and after the refugee status determination. In respect to the first, aiming to demonstrate the impossibility of disconnecting the contemporaneous concept of international protection and the recognition and guarantee of human rights, starting from a bibliographic review, it is argued that the human rights violation is always the reason that yields to the refugee status determination. Regarding the second one, we aim to analyze how the UNHCR, main organization for dealing with the issue, has manifested its opinions about the refugee human rights in the asylum countries - using as parameter some of its publications and revealing how the world politics has been a key factor to the way this agency expresses itself respecting to the rights violations in the asylum countries.

This investigation is concerned with determining what influence, if any, results from the dependence upon foreign sources of petroleum by the United States, France, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union. The influence that petroleum plays upon the changing attitudes of these four nations towards Israel and the Arab nations is ascertained by the utilization of primary and secondary sources. The study analyzes all the resolutions that have been adopted by the United Nations Security Council in the years between 1948 and 1976 dealing specifically with the Arab-Israeli conflict. Other chapters analyze each of the four nations to which attention is being directed. This study concludes that the growing and continuing dependence upon Arab oil has influenced the foreign policies the four nations have assumed toward the Arab-Israeli conflict.

This thesis analyzes the role of the global media in world politics. The global media as a major source of information performs many functions in world politics. Due to the technological innovations both the global media and world politics has extended their scope and content. It is the aim of this thesis to explore to what extent the global media and world politics changes and to what extent the global media affect world politics. Moreover, this thesis aims to analyze the actors that play a significant role in the relation of global media and world politics. This thesis will also question the importance and effects of global media in world politics through the examples of Iraq War of 2003. This thesis argues that global media are the important actor of world politics by their agenda-setting, impediment and accelerant effects which influences public opinion. The aim of this thesis is to question the power of the global media on public opinion through the existential media structures, while showing the effects of global media by the examples of Iraq War of 2003.
