As a result, the relationship between ports and governments has changed. Devolution ideologies that had been applied in other industries decades ago were now being considered by governments for the port industry. Many central governments sought to extract themselves from commercial activities of ports and devolving this responsibility to local governments, communities or private entities. The institution of devolution programs also changed the governance structures of ports further influencing port performance. Consequently, the recent worldwide trend towards devolution in the port industry has spawned considerable variety of governance models that are now set in place around the world. While some countries opt for more decentralized structures others prefer to retain a centralization of powers. In this way some governments consider local features and national integration more than others, which ultimately influence the success of a port reform implementation. Nevertheless, the prime intent of governments is now to maximize the efficiency and performance of their domestic ports. This issue intends to examine the changed port governance environment in Brazil by determining how and why imposed port reforms of the Brazilian federal government have been affecting the overall performance of the national port system, over the last decades, using the Port of Santos as a sample upon an exploratory study. For that, the study will use a contingency theory-based framework – the Matching Framework - that views port performance as a function of the fit among the dimensions of external operating environment, strategy and structure of a port organization. In essence, the greater the fit among these dimensions the better the expected performance of a port will be, and vice-versa. Port managers, government officials and academics alike shall be interested in this document. / O papel do transporte marítimo no âmbito do comércio internacional foi renovado drasticamente durante o início do processo de globalização, o que aumentou a contribuição dos portos na economia mundial como principais nodos logísticos para a produção e o comércio global. Como resultado, o relacionamento entre portos e governos também mudou. Ideologias de descentralização que tinham vindo a ser aplicadas em outras indústrias décadas antes começaram recentemente a ser consideradas por vários governos para suas indústrias portuárias. Muitos governos centrais procuraram extrair-se das atividades comerciais dos portos devolvendo essa responsabilidade para governos e comunidades locais, ou até mesmo entidades privadas. A instituição de programas de devolução também mudou as estruturas de governança dos portos vindo a influenciar ainda mais o desempenho portuário. Por conseguinte, a recente tendência mundial para a descentralização do setor portuário tem gerado uma considerável variedade de modelos de governança em todo o mundo. Enquanto alguns países optam por estruturas mais descentralizadas outros preferem manter a sua tradicional centralização de poderes. Desta forma, alguns governos passam a considerar características locais e integração nacional mais do que outros, o que acaba por influenciar o sucesso da implementação de uma reforma portuária. No entanto, hoje a intenção primordial dos governos é cada vez mais maximizar a eficiência e desempenho de seus portos nacionais. Esta dissertação tem a intenção de analisar o ambiente de governança portuária no Brasil determinando como e por que as reformas portuárias impostas do governo federal Brasileiro vêm afetando o desempenho geral do sistema portuário nacional, ao longo dos últimos anos, estudando essas mudanças no porto de Santos como referência num estudo exploratório. Para isso, o estudo irá usar um modelo “Matching Framework” baseado na teoria da contingência que considera o desempenho portuário como função do ajuste entre as dimensões de ambiente externo operacional, de estratégia e de estrutura organizacional de uma entidade portuária. Em essência, quanto maior for o balanço entre estas dimensões melhor será o desempenho portuário esperado, e vice-versa. Gestores e trabalhadores portuários, políticos e acadêmicos deverão mostrar interessado neste documento.

In light of the importance of this transaction, which is sanctioned by the monetary authorities as an 'Advanced Payment for Exports,' to promoting Brazilian exports, the author seeks to analyze legal instruments established under Brazilian legislation or socially typified, which are premised on the implementation of contractual and collateral structures aimed at eliminating basic risks in cross-border transactions with emerging economies such as Brazil. These instruments are applied during the various stages of the structured trade and commodity finance, and pose challenges for their agents – financiers, executives, and attorneys – related to obligations, risks, liabilities, collaterals, and contingencies that are under-explored in the legal literature. The topic is examined in nine chapters. The first chapter reviews the various types of trade finance transactions; the second chapter analyzes structured trade and commodity finance transactions; the third chapter deals with the parameters of rationalities (such as combined analyses of balance sheets, cash flows and assets mobilization) adopted by foreign lenders in order to provide credit to exporters; the fourth chapter is reserved for a detailed study of the transaction’s risks and their mitigation; the fifth chapter discusses the key features of pre-export finance; the sixth chapter is dedicated to regulatory aspects, concept, features, and field of application of the 'Advanced Payment for Exports'; the seventh chapter analyzes contractual aspects that are inherent to a pre-export finance transaction; the eighth and ninth chapters are dedicated to a study of collaterals, particularly with respect to the preservation of goods and rights granted as collateral for the purpose of reimbursing the capital to the foreign lender. From this perspective, the key elements of structured finance for Brazilian commodities exports shall be analyzed in order to contribute to the improvement and dissemination of these business and legal mechanisms (that are still restricted to a highly specialized audience), which were designed to promote economic development in Brazil. / O presente trabalho tem por objeto analisar aspectos jurídicos relacionados com o financiamento internacional do comércio de commodities, com dedicada atenção ao chamado 'financiamento pré-exportação' (ou pre-export finance). Considerando a relevância dessa operação ao fomento das exportações brasileiras, admitida pelas autoridades monetárias como 'Recebimento Antecipado de Exportação', ter-se-á como objetivo a análise dos instrumentos jurídicos que, recepcionados pela legislação brasileira ou socialmente tipificados, têm como premissa a implementação de estruturas contratuais e de garantias voltadas para a eliminação de riscos em operações transfronteiriças com economias emergentes, como o Brasil. Esses instrumentos são empregados nas diversas fases do financiamento estruturado de commodities, impondo aos seus agentes – financiadores, executivos e advogados – desafios relacionados com obrigações, riscos, responsabilidades, garantias e contingências pouco exploradas pela literatura jurídica. O tema será desenvolvido em nove capítulos. O primeiro conceituará as diversas modalidades de operações de trade finance; o segundo dedicará análise para as operações estruturadas de financiamento do comércio de commodities; o terceiro tratará dos parâmetros de racionalidades (como análises conjugadas de balanço contábil, fluxo de caixa e mobilização de bens) adotados pelos financiadores estrangeiros para a concessão do crédito ao exportador; o quarto será reservado ao estudo criterioso dos riscos da operação e sua mitigação; o quinto discutirá as características principais do financiamento pré-exportação; o sexto será dedicado aos aspectos regulatórios, conceito, características e campo de aplicação do 'Recebimento Antecipado de Exportação'; o sétimo analisará os aspectos contratuais inerentes à operação de financiamento pré-exportação; o oitavo e o nono serão dedicados ao estudo das garantias, sobretudo no que diz respeito à preservação de bens e direitos outorgados em garantia, com vistas ao reembolso do capital ao financiador estrangeiro. Sob esse prisma, serão analisados os principais elementos do financiamento estruturado à exportação brasileira de commodities, a fim de contribuir com o aprimoramento e a divulgação dessas técnicas empresariais e jurídicas (ainda restritas a um público especialíssimo) engendradas em prol do desenvolvimento econômico brasileiro.

In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of the composition of Brazilian foreign trade and its effects on the domestic macro economy through a DSGE model for Brazil. For this, it sought to calibrate this model and analyze the impact of liquidity shocks and terms of trade in the main macroeconomic variables. The model results suggest that financial crises can generate substantial effects on emerging economies such as in Brazil, and the dynamics of these effects will it also depend on the composition of the trade balance of the country. / A crise financeira mundial, ocorrida em 2008, é amplamente discutida no âmbito das idiossincrasias causadas por choques externos, dentre eles os choques de liquidez e dos termos de troca. No presente trabalho, analisamos as particularidades da composição do comércio exterior brasileiro e seus efeitos sobre a macroeconomia doméstica, através de um modelo DSGE para o Brasil. Para tanto, buscou-se calibrar este modelo e analisar os impactos dos choques de liquidez e dos termos de troca nas principais variáveis macroeconômicas. Os resultados do modelo sugerem que crises financeiras podem gerar efeitos substanciais em economias emergentes, como no caso brasileiro, e a dinâmica desses efeitos dependerá também da composição da balança comercial do país.

However, international trade in this sector represents only 21% of total world trade. Literature suggests major impediments to further expansion of international trade in services are barriers imposed by countries. Based on Fontagné et al (2011), this study measures tariff equivalents for 14 types of services using a self-constructed database for the years of 2004, 2007 and 2011. Results suggest that developed countries such as Germany, United States, and Ireland present the lowest tariff equivalents while developing countries such as Laos, Togo, Rwanda, Malawi and Namibia charge the highest tariffs. Also, we find evidence that service barriers have been falling over time, for sectors and countries. / O setor de serviços possui uma participação superior a 70% do total produzido na economia mundial. Entretanto, no comércio mundial apenas 21% do total transacionado é no setor de serviços. A literatura aponta que um grande impeditivo a uma maior expansão do comércio internacional nesse setor são as barreiras regulatórias impostas pelos países. Baseado no trabalho de Fontagné et al (2011), calculam-se os equivalentes tarifários para 14 tipos de serviços transacionados mundialmente utilizando uma base de dados inédita retirada do GTAP para os anos de 2004, 2007 e 2011. Os resultados indicam que países desenvolvidos, como Alemanha, Estados Unidos, e Irlanda apresentam os menores equivalentes tarifários, enquanto que países em desenvolvimento, como Laos, Togo, Ruanda, Malawi e Namíbia apresentam as maiores barreiras. Mais ainda, as barreiras tarifárias veem caindo ao longo do tempo, tanto intra setores quanto intra países.

Search the library catalog for the location and call number. / This dissertation examines the relationship between democracy and international economic ties. The effects of economic processes on domestic politics have long been a subject for debate in the literature: some authors argue that economic liberalization advances democracy, while others advocate that economic liberalization impedes democracy. I argue that both sides of the debate omitted an important factor in the analyses of trade ties and democracy. The empirical studies predominantly used the volumes of international trade, without analyzing the structural position of trade partners in the international political arena. I argue that it is not how much a country trades, but the kind of states it trades with that determines its democracy. I analyze the current theories of democracy and identify that the main weakness of these theories is the inability to incorporate international processes and globalization in the analysis of democratization. I show that World-Systems theory (WST) can improve current theories of democracy. I employ WST and a number of alternative theories to create theoretical models of democracy. I then discuss the relevance of the former Soviet states to WST and to the analysis of democracy. I further construct a panel data set and apply pooled time-series regression, using three indexes of democracy as the dependent variables and two sets of theoretically distinct control variables. I find a negative relationship between core-periphery trade and democracy, and a positive relationship between trade openness and democracy in the periphery, which supports my main argument that trade ties must be reexamined based on the structural position of the trade partners. Contrary to conventional application of WST, the structure of the core-periphery trade shows that the core uses its economic ties to politically exploit the periphery, not the other way around. Hence, international trade is identified as a major tool for the modern hegemonies to broaden their political influence. Lastly, I found that both within- and between-states sets of control variables had influential predictors, which points out that modern theories of democracy must be restructured to incorporate multiple international processes in the analysis of the domestic politics of a state. / Advisers: Vallon Burris, Robert O'Brien

The 1980 United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods, concluded under the auspices of UNCITRAL, creates a comprehensive statutory legal framework for international sales. Through the express incorporation of the principle of freedom of contract, the convention contains rules which the parties may freely adapt to the particular circumstances of their transaction, by filling any gaps that may arise with trade usages and other practices. In addition, the convention recognises the binding force of international trade usages in certain circumstances, in that it binds parties to usages which are so widely known and have acquired such regularity of observance in international trade as to justify an expectation that they will be observed in the particular transaction. Such acknowledgment of the changing patterns and norms of behaviour which characterise international trade law allows the CISG to be categorised as a major component of the modern lex mercatoria. / Constitutional International and Indigenous Law / LL.M.

Given ongoing advocacy for the institutionalisation of derivatives trading in sub- Saharan Africa (SSA) as a convenient way for enhancing regional countries’ growth prospects, this study examines the impact of derivatives trading on the economy of South Africa, with reference to output growth and growth volatility, in order to illustrate the likely developmental impact that derivatives markets could ensue for SSA countries. The literature of the study essentially explores the possible ways of derivatives markets’ influence on economic growth, alongside the infrastructural requirements for ensuring well-functioning derivatives markets. While accounting for implied capital market development, the GMM estimation could not evidence a significant relationship between the existing derivatives exchange and real GDP growth using South Africa’s data. Similarly, a causal relationship from SAFEX’s trading volumes to GDP growth could not be inferred. However, the study shows evidence of the reducing effect of derivatives trading on growth volatility. / Business Management / M. Com. ( Business Management)

The purpose of this study was to investigate internationalisation of Ethiopian SMEs by examining internal and external factors that motivate or restrict internationalization process and the impact of internal and external barriers on SMEs export performance. The small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) sector in Ethiopia is a significant group within the economy in terms of firm numbers and total employment. However, the SMEs sector’s share of exports is disproportionately small, which raised considerable research concerns. Firm export propensity and export performance were the dependent variables and export stimuli and barrier factors were used as explanatory variables. The study was conducted through mixed research design. A questionnaire was administered to 90(36 exporting and 54 nonexporting) SMEs in Leather and Leather Products Industry in Addis Ababa selected through stratified random sampling. In order to complement survey results nine (4 exporting and 5 non-exporting) SMEs were selected through critical case purposive sampling and an in-depth interviews were conducted. Statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS 20) was used to analyse the quantitative data whereas, qualitative data were analysed manually. Analytical techniques used were, Chisquare test of independence, Spearman rank order correlation, factor analysis, binary logistic regression analysis and multiple regression analysis. The statistical results of binary logistic regression analysis and chi-square tests indicated that managerial factors, internal marketing factors and foreign government related factors, firm ownership and size are the most significant motivators of SMEs internationalisation in Ethiopia. On the contrary the result showed that, logistics problem, insufficient finance, functional barriers, lack of export knowledge and information, procedural barriers and international trade barriers are the factors hindering it. Further analysis was conducted to examine the impact of export barriers on performance of firms. The result of multiple regression analysis indicated that, export barriers significantly and negatively affect export performance. The overall results revealed that explanatory variables used in the analysis significantly predict the dependent variable at 95% confidence level. Considering these results numerous implications for theory, practice, and future research were recommended. Finally, the study concluded that internationalisation of SMEs has to be encouraged by mitigating both internal and external barriers identified in this study. / Business Management / D. Admin.

Este projeto tem por objetivo analisar o potencial comercial brasileiro no contexto da Cooperação Sul-Sul, através do estudo dos Acordos Comerciais do Brasil com a África do Sul e a Índia (Mercosul – SACU e Mercosul – Índia). O presente trabalho possui dois propósitos principais – analisar o status quo e o perfil dos acordos comerciais em pauta entre o Brasil, África do Sul e a Índia e sequencialmente verificar o potencial de aprofundamento do atual Acordo Mercosul – Índia rumo a uma futura Área de Livre Comércio como forma efetiva de fortalecimento econômico no contexto da estratégia brasileira frente aos países do IBAS e da Cooperação Sul-Sul. Para estudar os Acordos de Preferência Comercial selecionados, se utilizará a metodologia multicritério de análise das ofensividades e sensibilidades dos principais produtos brasileiros exportados e importados com estes mercados, o grau de abrangência, profundidade e a cobertura de tais acordos. Por fim, pretende-se inferir considerações gerais sobre o fortalecimento comercial, econômico e político no âmbito da Cooperação Sul-Sul que se poderia obter a partir da ampliação de tais acordos. / This project aims to analyze the Brazilian commercial potential in the context of South-South Cooperation, through the study of Brazil's Trade Agreements with South Africa and India (Mercosur - SACU and Mercosur - India). This work has two main purposes - to analyze the ‘status quo’ and the profile of trade agreements at issue between Brazil, South Africa and India, and sequentially verify the potential of deepening the current Mercosur Agreement - India towards a future Free Trade Area as an effective form of economic empowerment in the context of the Brazilian strategy at IBSA countries and in the South-South Cooperation. To study the selected trade preference agreements, the methodology approach to be used will be the multiple-criteria analysis of offensiveness and sensitivities of the main Brazilian products exported and imported with these markets, the degree of breadth, depth and coverage of such agreements. Finally, the intention is to infer general considerations on the commercial, economic and political empowerment within the framework of South-South cooperation that could be obtained from the expansion of such agreements.

O boom do consumo e da produção de quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) é um fenômeno recente que representa a transição de um cultivo andino negligenciado e subutilizado durante séculos para um supercultivo moderno do século XXI, dado o seu aporte nutricional. Nesse sentido, a presente tese apresenta e discute questões que o boom da quinoa suscita acerca das tendências das mudanças no uso da terra no Peru ― país que se tornou o maior produtor e exportador mundial do produto a partir de 2014. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa realizaram-se dois estudos. O primeiro deles objetivou analisar a dinâmica da expansão do cultivo de quinoa e identificar as mudanças no uso da terra resultantes do boom da quinoa, assim como determinar se tais mudanças ameaçam a agrobiodiversidade na principal região produtora de quinoa: Puno. O segundo estudo buscou calcular o impacto do boom da quinoa na expansão do seu cultivo, em termos de área ocupada, além de discutir os mecanismos pelos quais a expansão da demanda internacional por este produto ocasiona mudanças no uso da terra no Peru. Ambos os estudos se basearam em dados disponibilizados por entidades e órgãos oficiais do Peru, os quais foram coletados separadamente para as 18 regiões produtoras de quinoa, no período de 1995-2014. Para a análise dos dados, construíram-se mapas temáticos com as variáveis: área cultivada e variação porcentual anual de área cultivada. Também foram utilizadas as seguintes técnicas estatísticas: estatística descritiva, Análise de Componentes Principais (PCA) e exponential smoothing. Os resultados evidenciaram que o boom da quinoa no Peru começou em 2009, sendo que, a partir desse ano, a configuração da área cultivada com quinoa foi alterada drasticamente. Já no ano de 2014, inicia-se um período de expansão sem precedentes na história de sua produção. Cabe destacar, nesse sentido, que se o boom da quinoa não tivesse ocorrido, no ano de 2014 teria sido cultivada uma área 43% menor de quinoa do que foi efetivamente observado. A partir disso, foram constatados três fenômenos: (i) a evolução de uma nova geografia da produção de quinoa; (ii) a redução do uso de práticas agrícolas tradicionais (p.ex.: rotação de cultivos, descanso do solo) decorrente da intensificação da produção de quinoa; e (iii) a tendência de competição pelo uso da terra para produção de cultivos Andinos na região Puno (cañigua, mashua, oca e tarhui). Dessa forma, a expansão do mercado internacional de quinoa a partir de 2008 já começa a revelar suas consequências sobre as mudanças no uso da terra no Peru: (i) efeito de deslocamento (migração de atividades de um lugar para outro de uma maneira a ocasionar mudanças no uso da terra em novas localidades), (ii) efeito rebote (mudanças no uso da terra com as medidas adotadas para incrementar a eficiência da produção e aumento do número de empresas atuando no setor), e (iii) efeito cascata (perturbações que afetam o sistema terrestre em decorrência da substituição de áreas destinadas à produção de outros cultivos em condições agroecológicas específicas). Ao trazer uma perspectiva sobre a relação entre a intensificação do comércio internacional da quinoa e a expansão de terra cultivada no Peru, este trabalho contribui para a literatura, ainda em construção, sobre consequências das mudanças no uso da terra na sustentabilidade dos sistemas agrobiológicos. / The boom in consumption and production of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a recent phenomenon that represents the transition from a neglected and underutilized Andean crop for centuries to a modern supercrop of the 21st century due to its exceptional nutritional value. In this context, the present thesis presents and discusses issues raised as a resut of the quinoa boom regarding trends in land-use change in Peru, which, as from 2014, has become the world’s largest producer of quinoa. Therefore, two studies were carried out. The first study aimed to analyze the dynamics of the expansion of quinoa cultivation and to identify land use changes resulting from the quinoa boom, as well as to determine whether such changes threaten agrobiodiversity in the major quinoa producing region: Puno. The second study aimed to calculate the impact of the quinoa boom on the expansion of quinoa production in terms of cultivated area, and to discuss the mechanisms by which the growing international demand for this product causes land use changes in Peru. Both studies are based on data available from official sources. Data were collected separately for the quinoa producing regions, 18 in total. It covers the period from 1995 to 2014. Data were analyzed using thematic maps with the following variables: harvested area and annual variation in the percentage of harvested area. There were also used the following statistical techniques: descriptive statistics, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and exponential smoothing. The findings showed that the quinoa boom in Peru began in 2009. From this year, the configuration of the area cultivated with quinoa has changed drastically, but the year 2014 marked the beginning of an unprecedented period in the history of the production of this crop. In this regard, it should be noted that if it had not occurred the quinoa boom, the area cultivated with quinoa in 2014 would have been 43% less than the observed quantity. From this, it was found three phenomena: (i) the evolution of the new geography of quinoa production in Peru; (ii) the diminished use of traditional farming practices (eg.: crop rotation with rest for the soil) due to the intensification of quinoa production; and (iii) the trend towards increased land use competition for Andean crop production in the Puno region (cañigua, mashua, oca e tarhui). Thus, the growing international quinoa trade since 2008 has started to reveal the consequences of land use changes in Peru: (i) displacement effect (migration of activities from one place to another, causing land use changes in new locations); (ii) rebound effect (land use changes in response to the measures introduced to improve production efficiency and the increase in the number of companies operating in the sector); and (iii) cascade effect (disorders that affect the land system as a result of the substitution of land area used to produce other crops in specific agro-ecological conditions). With the perspective on the link between the intensification of international trade of quinoa and the expansion of cultivated land in Peru, this study contributes to the literature by providing insights into the consequences of land use changes on the sustainability of agrobiological systems.
