Complexo regional de segurança da América do Sul: uma nova perspectiva

The current article aims to update the discussion on the South American context making use of the theory of Regional Security Regional Complexes (RSC). It begins with a theoretical discussion, based on Buzan and Wæver's work. It then presents the hypothesis that, differently from what is assumed in the literature, the South American RSC is not a standard one, but a centred one, in which the centre is not a global power. An empirical analysis follows, showing that Brazil possesses the necessary resources, and has presented some cogent political initiatives, such as the creation of the Union of South American Nations (Unasur) and its Defense Council (SDC), but in other moments has been reluctant take a leadership role in South America. The analysis concludes that, regarding its configuration, the South American RSC corroborates the authors' hypothesis and that Brazil should consolidate its role at the centre of such a complex.

Análise da relação instituição escolar e família na revista Nova Escola

O trabalho buscou investigar como uma revista de grande circulação entre os professores do ensino básico trata a questão da relação entre escolafamília. O motivo pelo qual buscamos pesquisar sobre o assunto é o fato dos professores recorrerem a este tipo de material, que acaba normatizando a sua prática. No entanto, será esta leitura adequada? Qual a real contribuição da revista? Fazendo uma comparação com a literatura científica o que poderemos constatar? Como metodologia foi feita uma análise documental das Revistas Nova Escola durante os últimos 5 anos, do período de junho de 2006 à junho de 2010. Analisou-se todas as revistas correspondente ao período indicado e selecionado somente os artigos que falavam sobre a relação escola-família. Posteriormente foi feita uma análise quantitativa e qualitativa dos artigos através da Análise de Conteúdo dos mesmos, analisando os dados à luz do embasamento teórico sobre o assunto, fazendo uma comparação com a literatura. Observou-se com a pesquisa que embora a quantidade de reportagens abordando o assunto família-escola fosse em pequena quantidade, eram muito coerentes e continham embasamentos teóricos indiretos.

Estudo da distribuição espacial dos condomínios horizontais fechados e loteamentos fechados na cidade de Rio Claro-SP

In Brazil, the proliferation phenomenon of gated communities and land lots had its origins in big cities, such as Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, since 1970. The implementation of these types of intramural housing are done in expanding are as of the city, based on the availability of bigger lots, lower land prices, and the search for are as closer to nature. The gated communities and land lots that, initially, had their architecture only accessible to the higher social classes, as a second home alternative away from urban problems, nowadays they can be reached by other social classes as well. Gated communities and land lots find their way to the center of larger cities, sustained mostly by the speech of real state entrepreneurs, and by its social “status”, a new emerging characteristic of this time period. The expansion of gated communities and land lots also change the cities lands cape and social spatial configuration. This work, therefore, attends the localization of gated communities and land lots spread out in the city of Rio Claro. It analyzes the scale in which the dynamics of the city’s urban expansion influenced the current distribution of these types of housing

This work will also identify connections between those discussions and more recent discussions about teacher professionalism, which emphasize teacher autonomy. In this sense, it was possible to identify the development of this issue of professional competencies. The study also analyzes the application of the concept of autonomy on Brazilian soil between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century as well as its current use. The research thus explores the concept of Teacher Autonomy in various historical settings
