Esta pesquisa levanta os elementos formadores da identidade nacional croata; faz um acompanhamento das conquistas da União Europeia; analisa os atores sociais que se posicionam a favor da Croácia como membro da União Europeia, bem como o posicionamento daqueles que são contra o ingresso da Croácia na União Europeia. Os posicionamentos teóricos, entrecruzados com os dados práticos coletados, faz-nos refletir sobre ganhos e perdas dos croatas em sua relação com a União Europeia. Há tendências negativas da União Europeia, aqui expostas, que não estão explícitas em seus tratados, nem expressos por suas instituições. Importa, nesta pesquisa, alcançar um posicionamento crítico com relação aos atos econômicos, políticos e sociais relacionados com a soberania nacional dos países periféricos do Leste Europeu. Este trabalho coloca em discussão as estratégias dos países ricos da Europa no sentido de perseverarem competitivos em âmbito global, incorporando o mercado do Leste Europeu. Por isso, este estudo se debruça sobre o Alargamento e acordos assinados entre os países-membros da União Europeia; mudanças na legislação croata; influência estrangeira no desenvolvimento humano da Croácia, dados estatísticos da Croácia e de países da União Europeia que espelham fatores positivos e negativos relacionados com a sustentabilidade da soberania nacional. / This research raises the formative elements of Croatian national identity; makes a follow-up to the achievements of the European Union; it analyzes the social actors that are positioned in favor of Croatia as a member of the European Union, as well as the positioning of those who are against the ingress of Croatia into the European Union. The theoretical positioning, intercrossed with practical data collected, makes us reflect on gains and losses of the Croats in their relationship with the European Union. There are negative trends of the European Union, exposed here, that are not explicit in its treaties, nor expressed by its institutions. It is important, in this study, achieving a critical positioning with respect to economic, political and social acts related to national sovereignty of peripheral countries of Eastern Europe. This work puts into discussion the strategies of the rich countries of Europe in order to persevere competitive in global scope, incorporating the East European market. For this reason, this study focuses on the \'Enlargement\' and agreements signed between the member countries of the European Union; changes in Croatian legislation; foreign influence in human development of Croatia, statistical data of Croatia and the European Union countries that reflect positive and negative factors related to sustainability of national sovereignty.

Esta pobreza está alocada nos espaços da cidade que não interessam ao capital, isto é, loteamentos clandestinos, vilas, favelas. De modo geral, estes espaços são terrenos públicos ou privados que estão ociosos no espaço urbano e uma das estratégias que os pobres urbanos encontram para adentrar o urbano é a ocupação. Esta dissertação se propõe analisar o desenvolvimento sócio-espacial no loteamento Ceval desde a ocupação em 2002 até os dias atuais. A metodologia escolhida é a pesquisa qualitativa e como procedimentos utilizou-se: a observação e entrevistas semiestruturadas. As entrevistas foram realizadas com quatro categorias de moradores: antigos, intermediários, novos e líderes. Estes por sua vez, contribuíram para analisar a ocorrência de desenvolvimento sócio-espacial no loteamento Ceval. O desenvolvimento sócio-espacial baseia-se na autonomia (individual e coletiva), na qualidade de vida e justiça social, pois são estes os parâmetros que norteiam a análise. Como resultados desta proposta, pode-se dizer que, os moradores do loteamento Ceval tiveram autonomia enquanto lutavam por suas moradias e melhorias no loteamento, após isso a autonomia deu lugar ao desânimo. Estando a autonomia prejudicada a qualidade de vida e justiça social também condicionam-se a mesma situação. Assim, analisou-se que, houve um desenvolvimento sócio-espacial parcial no loteamento Ceval. / The object of this study is the Ceval subdivision, in the city of Pelotas at RS (Rio Grande do Sul), Brazil. This urban space is a product of the urban poverty. This kind of poverty is allocated on places in the city that does not interest the capital, illegal settlements, villa, slums. In general, spaces like this are idle public or private lands at the urban territories and one of the strategies find by the poor urban people to enter at the urban place is the territorial occupation. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the sociospacial development in the Ceval subdivision since its occupation in, 2002, to the present days. The methodology chosen is the qualitative research and procedures: the observation and the semistructured interviews. The interviews are realizes with four categories residents: ancients, intermediate, news and leaders. This in turn, contributed to analyze the occurrence of sociospacial development in the Ceval subdivision. The sociospacial development is bases on autonomy (individual or collective), quality of life and social justice. This are the parameters that guide this analyze. As results from this purpose, their told that, the dwellers of Ceval subdivision had had autonomy while they fight for their homes and subdivision improvements, after that the autonomy gave rise by the selfishness. When the autonomy is impaired the quality of life and social justice, both are in the same situation. So, the analyze showed that there was a partial sociospacial development in the Ceval subdivision.

In this dissertation, I argue that transnational elites within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have been integrated within a Transnational Capitalist Class (TCC) economically, militarily and politically through relationships that transcend the boundaries of the nation-state. These relationships exist within the context of a global capitalist structure of accumulation that is dependent on the maintenance of a repressive state apparatus in the GCC. There have been few attempts to analyze the relationships that Middle Eastern political and economic elites have developed with global elite networks. This work fills an important gap in the scholarly literature by linking the political and economic power of the GCC elites to transnational capitalist class actors in the U.S. and Western Europe. The TCC is comprised of actors who derive their wealth and power from ownership of production or financial activities on a global scale. The embeddedness of GCC elites within the TCC came with the de-centralization of capital accumulation occurring from the 1970s through the present that has linked regional and local capitalists to the ownership activities of transnational capitalist firms. The GCC is an important case study for analyzing the structure and consequences the current phase of globalization due to its relative vi importance in providing resources and financing for transnational globalization. Therefore this project contributes to our assessment of the role played by transnational elites in the GCC and the regional and global consequences of their power struggles based in part on a theoretical framework derived from Neo-Gramscianism.

To date, the usual analysis of an entrepreneur personality is primarily a gut feeling of the venture capitalist and is hard to codify. This paper aims to explore in a qualitative way what it is about the characteristics and the personality of the entrepreneur that influences the investment made by the venture capitalists. These findings will then be used to discuss if an artificial intelligence application can be used to analyze the personality of entrepreneurs. The primary source of information for this paper is interviews with venture capitalists. The authors searched for similarities within the available literature on entrepreneurial personalities and found that the majority of the personality traits mentioned by the venture capitalist can be found in the literature.  The research findings suggest that all venture capitalist value an entrepreneur that has passion for what she is doing and has the ability to get the job done. Additionally, most of the venture capitalist interviewed value an entrepreneur that is coachable, flexible, visionary, and is able to communicate that vision well.  Finally, based on the results, the authors proposed a framework for how an artificial intelligence system can be structured to assess personalities of entrepreneurs.

The thesis is a meta-narrative discourse regarding the subversion in the representation of late capitalist realism. Through a post-humanist Marxist perspective, it connects three video game industry’s favorites with the ultimate question of capitalism: Cyberpunk 2077, Death Stranding, and Disco Elysium‪‬.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ By looking through the unanimous retrospective paradigm, the thesis starts an exploratory journey analyzing the three games in terms of their narrative and mechanics lineages. Eventually, it wishes to reveal the possibility of genuine alternatives to our late capitalist reality from the late capitalist entertainment industry. By exposing the retrospective and inquisitive obsession of the three games, it reveals the underlying collective political trauma derived from the inability to defeat the late capitalist realism. While the analysis also leads to a potential solution that favors chance and randomness in order to disrupt the insatiable capitalist desire for the assimilation of originality.

Over the past 10 years individual capitalists have become increasingly involved in philanthropy, setting up charitable foundations targeted at helping to reduce social problems such as poverty, disease and food security. This form of neoliberal capitalist philanthropy is both politically and ideologically committed to market-based social investment through partnerships, to make the market work or work better for capital. The new structures of philanthropy have received much praise in the media for imbuing capitalist business principles into the non-profit sector and for their potential for social transformation. While philanthropic activities may be considered worthy in themselves, this article examines the relationship between giving and business interest and the agency associated with neoliberal capitalist philanthropy. It questions partnerships between philanthropists and private corporations and their motivations for engaging in poverty-related philanthropy. The discussion focuses on capitalist philanthropic foundations' involvement in the process of agricultural commodification in sub-Saharan Africa through the New Green Revolution and genetically modified (gm) technologies.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo de estudo a relação envolvendo a periferia e o seu processo de reposição na metrópole de São Paulo, tendo por base o estudo realizado no bairro do Cabuçu, no município de Guarulhos. A complexidade urbana do momento atual comporta diferentes análises no sentido de sua interpretação. Partindo-se desse pressuposto, o que se analisa neste trabalho é a atual condição da periferia na metrópole de São Paulo face as promessas da modernidade relacionada ao desenvolvimento urbano. Essa modernidade, acompanhando a evolução do capitalismo, leva a instituição propriedade privada à posição de centralidade, transformando esta numa das principais marcas da sociedade moderna. Em meio a tantas alternativas acerca da complexidade urbana atual, a escolha aqui feita foi a de analisar a periferia enquanto uma realidade sócio-espacial que, do ponto de vista desta reprodução ampliada, deve ser incessamente resposta ao longo do território da metrópole, não excluindo as contradições inerentes a esse processo. Por sua vez, esse movimento incessante vincula-se ao próprio sentido do urbano, que é reproduzido a partir da lógica do capital, e à impossibilidade no alcance das promessas da modernidade. A metrópole chega à atual fase enquanto um território que, dentre vários outros desdobramentos, passa a enfatizar a relação entre o capital especulativo e o mercado imobiliário. Vem daí a intensificação da especulação imobiliária, que é articulada longo do território da metrópole. Como consequência, a reposição da periferia, que se consubstancia em função do drama cada vez maior da moradia, passa também a ser um movimento articulado nessa mesma metrópole. / This task has as na aim of study the relation which involves the suburb and its processo f replacement in São Paulo city, having as a fundamental support the accomplished study in Cabuçu district in Guarulhos city. The complexity, for the time being keeps diferent analysis in the way of its interpretation starting from this pretext what studies in this task is the presente situation of São Paulo metropolis suburb according to the promises of modernity in the relation to the suburb development. This modernity with the capital evolution takes private property institution to the center point, changing it into the most principal marks of the modern society. Among so many alternatives around the present urban complexity, the done choice here was to analyse the suburb as the reality of associate space that, by the point of view of this bigger reprodution must be constantly replaced in the metropolis land not excluding contradictions inherent into this process. However, this constant movement goes to its own urban way which is remade from a capital logic and impossibility in reaching modernity promises. The metropolis gets to the present moment as a territory that, among several developments, begings emphasizing the link between speculative capital and real state market. From this point, the intensification of speculative real state comes and it is articulated in the metropolis land. By as consequences, the suburb repositiion that gets worse according to the misery which becomes bigger in the dwellings and also becomes being na articulated movement in the same metropolis.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar a história da resistência e da luta dos moradores e do Movimento de Luta por Moradia (MLM) pelo bairro de Vila Operária em Guarulhos, SP. A partir da sistematização das experiências dos moradores, buscou-se construir uma história da luta do bairro através das ações de resistência às reintegrações de posse em um espaço com problemas de regulamentação fundiária disputado pela iniciativa privada, por posseiros e pelo Estado. A partir da análise das estruturas econômicas e a superestrutura Estado e suas instituições ao longo da história do Brasil, verificou-se a continuidade da exclusão social e da concentração de renda e fundiária, que contribui com o crescimento das periferias na Região Metropolitana de São Paulo. Os movimentos sociais de moradia pela Reforma Urbana buscam a regularização fundiária de bairros estabelecidos, caso da Vila Operária, e têm se dedicado em defender os direitos constitucionais e o respeito às leis municipais e ao Plano Diretor. A análise da experiência dos moradores e da Vila Operária permitirá avaliar as ações de movimentos sociais de moradia pela Reforma Urbana em um contexto de regulação híbrida do Direito em que Estado e empresas atuam em conjunto na repressão às ações coletivas e à democracia / This reserch aims to present the history of resistance and struggle of the residents and of the Movement for Struggle for Housing (MLM) in the neighborhood of Vila Operária in Guarulhos, SP. From the systematization of the residents\' experiences, the aim was to construct a history of the neighborhood struggle through the actions of resistance to the reintegration of tenure in a space with land regulation problems disputed by the private initiative, squatters and the State. From the analysis of economic structures and the superstructure - State and its institutions - throughout the history of Brazil, the continuity of social exclusion and concentration of income and land ownership has been verified, which contributes to the growth of the peripheries in the Metropolitan Region of Sao Paulo. The social movements of housing by the Urban Reform seek the land regularization of established neighborhoods, in the case of Vila Operária, and has been dedicated in defending the constitutional rights and the respect to the municipal laws and the Master Plan. The analysis of the experience of the residents and Vila Operária will allow to evaluate the actions of social movements of housing by the Urban Reform in a context of Hybrid Law regulation in which State and companies act together in the repression of collective actions and democracy

The theme relates tried it with the issue of regional integration of MERCOSUR, to identify whether the bloc development exercises influence on the politics of professional qualification. The research was developed in three stages: a) characterizing the professional qualification policy in Brazil; b) identification of issues relating to professional qualification in the areas of decision-making MERCOSUR; and c) identifying, within the resolution professional qualification policy in Brazil, themes related to regional integration of MERCOSUR. As methodology, were used the bibliographical review and the documentary research. The bibliographical review based the investigation of crucial issues related to role of the professional qualification as a strategy for reproduction of the capitalist mode of production, and the context of productive restructuring. The documentary research included the three phases of research from analysis of documents regarding the Brazilian policy (documents of the Ministry of Labor and Employment and Minutes of CODEFAT) and the MERCOSUR proposal before the issue of professional qualification (Statements of Ministers of Labor of MERCOSUR, Code of Recommendations Practices for Training and Recommendations of Economic and Social Consultative Forum). From the analysis performed, it was found that regional integration has is not essential issue in the case of professional qualification policy in Brazil. However, given the relative importance of the country in relation to the bloc, and proximity of the themes that permeate discussions in Brazil and MERCOSUR, can infer there is an influence the guidelines of the Brazilian policy on the agenda discussion of the bloc. Some common themes that might be related in two spaces, characterize the new demands of productive restructuring, as attention to vulnerable groups in the labor market and the qualification focused on entrepreneurship. It was also possible to analyze, form documents, some of the challenges posed to deepening regional integration, especially with regard to its social agenda, highlighting the question of asymmetries between the countries of the bloc and of civil society participation in the process of MERCOSUR integration. / O tema da pesquisa é a Política de Qualificação Profissional desenvolvida no Brasil a partir da década de 1990. A abordagem do tema procurou relacioná-lo com a questão da integração regional do Mercosul, para identificar se o desenvolvimento do bloco exerce influência sobre a política de qualificação profissional. A pesquisa desenvolveu-se em três etapas: a) caracterização da política de qualificação profissional no Brasil; b) identificação de temas referentes à qualificação profissional nos espaços decisórios do Mercosul; e c) identificação, no espaço de deliberação da política de qualificação profissional no Brasil, de temas relacionados à integração regional do Mercosul. Como metodologia, foram utilizadas a revisão bibliográfica e a pesquisa documental. A revisão bibliográfica fundamentou a investigação dos aspectos essenciais relacionados ao papel da qualificação profissional enquanto estratégia de reprodução do modo de produção capitalista, e o contexto da reestruturação produtiva. A pesquisa documental contemplou as três etapas da investigação, a partir da análise dos documentos referente à política brasileira (documentos do Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego e Atas do CODEFAT) e à proposta do Mercosul perante o tema da qualificação profissional (Declarações de Ministros do Trabalho do Mercosul, Repertório de Recomendações Práticas para a Formação Profissional e Recomendações do Fórum Consultivo Econômico-Social). A partir da análise realizada, constatou-se que a integração regional ainda não consiste em tema essencial no caso da política de qualificação profissional no Brasil. No entanto, dada a importância relativa do país em relação ao bloco, e a proximidade dos temas que perpassam as discussões no Brasil e no Mercosul, pode-se inferir que existe uma influência das diretrizes da política brasileira na pauta de discussões do bloco. Alguns temas comuns, que puderam ser relacionados nos dois espaços, caracterizam as novas demandas da reestruturação produtiva, como a atenção a grupos vulneráveis no mercado de trabalho e a qualificação voltada ao empreendedorismo. Foi possível também analisar, a partir dos documentos, alguns dos desafios impostos ao aprofundamento da integração regional, especialmente no que diz respeito a sua agenda social, recebendo destaque a questão das assimetrias entre os países do bloco e da participação da sociedade civil no processo de integração do Mercosul.
