Até 1970, Piracicaba vivenciou um intenso processo de industrialização impulsionado pelo desenvolvimento histórico de sua agricultura, caracterizada principalmente pela produção sucroalcooleira, e pelo crescente desenvolvimento econômico da cidade de São Paulo. Nas últimas décadas, com o processo de desconcentração industrial da capital paulista para seu entorno, reflexo de uma nova conjuntura política e econômica mundial que influenciou o processo de industrialização brasileiro e promoveu maiores investimentos no interior paulista, presencia-se uma nova dinâmica industrial no município de Piracicaba, integrante da região administrativa de Campinas e próxima aos principais eixos de transportes do Estado de São Paulo. Dessa forma, Piracicaba passou a receber novos investimentos industriais, onde se destacam grupos econômicos de capitais internacionais, anteriormente quase ausentes no município. Na disputa por atrair esses investimentos, o poder municipal teve papel destacado ao promover incentivos fiscais, na manutenção de instituições para a qualificação da mão-de-obra local, e na criação de áreas próprias para a instalação dessas empresas. Nossa pesquisa propõe uma ampla análise sobre o processo de industrialização do município, com ênfase nas diferentes etapas de seu desenvolvimento e em suas recentes transformações. / Until 1970, Piracicaba experienced an intense process of industrialization propelled by historical development of its agriculture, characterized primarily by sugarcane production, and the growing economic development of the city of São Paulo. In recent decades, the process of industrial deconcentration from the state capital to its surroundings, reflecting a new world political and economic conditions that influenced the process of Brazilian industrialization and promoted greater investment São Paulo State, witnesses become a new industrial dynamics in the municipality Piracicaba, member of the administrative region of Campinas and near the main transport corridors of the State of São Paulo. Thereby, Piracicaba started to receive new industrial investments, where we highlight international economic groups, previously almost absent in this city. In the competition to attract these investments, the municipal government had a leading role in promoting tax incentives, the maintenance of institutions for the qualification of labor site, and the creation of own land for installation of these companies. Our research proposes an extensive analysis on the process of industrialization of the city, with emphasis on the different stages of its development and its recent transformations.

archives@tulane.edu / “Iron Monsters in the Spanish Garden: The Railway in the Nineteenth-Century Spanish Imagination,” explores the short-lived period of railway euphoria that overtook Spain in the mid-nineteenth century and resulted in the rapid development of nearly 5,000 km of track. This period of fast-paced modernization was bookended by civil wars, punctuated with political and economic instability, and occurred in a country that was arguably the most underdeveloped and volatile in Western Europe. As most historians of Spain’s nineteenth-century industrialization will concede, the effort was a spectacular failure. Yet, this admission of failure has too often discouraged further exploration. It is the position of this dissertation that the notion of failure itself is precisely what makes Spain’s efforts at industrialization and modernization in this period so fascinating and revealing. The planning of Spain’s first railway network began precisely when the first stable Spanish liberal regime was taking shape. It was a moment of great optimism for liberal Spaniards; and they projected their optimism onto the emerging railway, often painting the grand future they wanted to see in vivid detail and with exalted language. The railway, Spanish elites told themselves and others, would finally restore Spain to its rightful position as a major player in European affairs, an eminence it had been denied for centuries. The perception of national decline and perpetual stagnation had been the source of a bottomless pit of insecurity. With each kilometer of track laid and each colorful inaugural ceremony held, these elites became further convinced that Spain’s escape from European backwater status was finally within reach. As a result, what initially seemed the success of Spain’s railway project became a major pillar supporting the terribly flawed liberal state. Unfortunately, heavy state spending on railways that were hastily constructed and failed to bring the touted economic benefits effectively undermined this pillar and brought about a revolution that washed across the nation and dethroned the queen. / 1 / Joel C Webb

The assembly of the International Space Station opened a new era of space exploration. It also created new challenges for the lawyers that had to deal with new issues related to this endeavour. This study will focus on the prospect of commercialisation of the ISS and on the legal problems that could appear with respect to this undertaking. By examining available markets and managing structure of the ISS, this study will reveal the potential and the drawbacks of the international enterprise. Furthermore, the detailed analysis of the Intergovernmental Agreement signed by the State Partners to the ISS will describe the particularities of ISS' legal regime, especially emphasising on the Intellectual Property provisions and other issues not covered by the cross waiver of liability.
