Buarque compares the long-standing ambitions of Brazilian foreign policy elites with external perspectives of observers in states with greater international status who would need to recognize Brazil as a great power and a state increasing in international prestige. Buarque develops a multidisciplinary approach influenced by sociology and psychology scholarship and gives special attention to the importance of recognition whilst drawing on international relations scholarship focussed on prestige, identity, roles and ontological security. In so doing, the book argues for the difference between the status and role Brazil aspires to have in the world and the external beliefs about the level of prestige of the state, amounting to status inconsistency and anxiety leading to ontological insecurity. It proposes that powerful states perceive Brazil as a coveted pawn in international politics and outlines a typology of what states that aspire to have more prestige need to do to achieve recognition for higher status.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51066394640657,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51066397589777,"sku":"NIN9783031475740","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52663489233169,"sku":"NLS9783031475740","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3031475747.jpg?v=1750806224"},{"product_id":"rural-latin-america-in-transition-book-ray-watters-9783030650353","title":"Rural Latin America in Transition","description":"This book provides an in-depth and broad study on rural Latin America over a 60-year period.

The author aims to disclose and explain the decision of the United Nations and the Organization of American States to promote, separately but with a similar rationale, a new strategic approach to fighting corruption through the creation of two HACAS. Specifically, the book examines the International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG) and the Mission to Support the Fight against Corruption and Impunity in Honduras (MACCIH). The CICIG and the MACCIH represent unique cases of anti-corruption hybrid commissions because they combine resources, participants and\/or national and international institutions which, in a coherent and integrated manner, strengthen the investigation, prosecution, and punishment of corrupt and criminal acts. The book also studies the HACAS as international instruments not free from risks and limitations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52144808984849,"sku":"NLS9783030408800","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783030408800.jpg?v=1757590663"},{"product_id":"decline-of-labor-unions-in-mexico-during-the-neoliberal-period-book-roberto-zepeda-9783030657123","title":"The Decline of Labor Unions in Mexico during the Neoliberal Period","description":"This book examines the most significant factors accounting for the decline of union density during the neoliberal period, focusing on the case of Mexico.

It asserts that the process of institutional change that started as a result of such disruptions resulted in complementary institutions, which supported a new consolidated pattern of economic governance. In addition, this work also offers a robust theoretical underpinning to economic governance, independent from performance. Performance figures prominently as a criterion to assess economic governance; however, crises are becoming more frequent and performance does not entirely depend on governments’ actions. This book argues that governance in the economic arena depends on the ability and feasibility of limiting the discretion of vested interests over economic policies insofar as these interests can shift the costs of their actions so the rest of the society bears them.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52425133883665,"sku":"NLS9783030645243","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783030645243.jpg?v=1759153963"},{"product_id":"mexico-and-the-post-2015-development-agenda-book-rebecka-villanueva-ulfgard-9781137591418","title":"Mexico and the Post-2015 Development Agenda","description":"This book explores how and why Mexico’s approach to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) implementation with the López Obrador administration is unsustainable and non-transformative, overshadowed by his vision of Mexico’s “Fourth Transformation”. Approached as a super mantra revolving around “Republican Austerity” and “First, the poor”, it provides original analysis of structural and conjunctural challenges facing Mexico as regards People-, Planet-, and Peace-centered development. The book reveals the promise “First, the poor” is inconsistent with data on Mexico’s poverty reduction (SDG1). Despite record-high spending on social programs and unmatched coverage, the recent tendency of improvement in tackling poverty is rather ambiguous from the perspective of multidimensional poverty. The book covers access to clean energy (SDG7), resilient infrastructure and sustainable industrialization (SDG9), and safeguarding biodiversity(SDG15) by examining three megaproject case studies: the oil refinery Dos Bocas, the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and the Maya Train, generating concern with the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of sustainable development. The prospects for an ‘enabling environment’ for SDG implementation are hampered by persistently high levels of homicides and impunity (SDG16). Turning Mexico’s Armed Forces into ‘first development partner of choice’ is problematized as regards their reach in infrastructure megaprojects and social welfare programs, in the overall context of the ‘de-risking state’ favoring private capital. The result, as determined by Villanueva Ulfgard, has led Mexico further astray from sustainable and transformative development.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52452583211281,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52452583833873,"sku":"NLS9781137591418","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781137591418.jpg?v=1759365205"},{"product_id":"decline-of-labor-unions-in-mexico-during-the-neoliberal-period-book-roberto-zepeda-9783030657093","title":"The Decline of Labor Unions in Mexico during the Neoliberal Period","description":"This book examines the most significant factors accounting for the decline of union density during the neoliberal period, focusing on the case of Mexico.

Indigenous peoples are essential as guardians of the world’s wild places for the maintenance of ecosystems and the prevention of climate change. The Amazonian\/Andean indigenous philosophies of sumac kawsay\/suma qamaña (buen vivir) were the inspiration for the incorporation of the Rights of Nature into the Ecuadorian and Bolivian constitutions of 2008 and 2009. Yet despite the creation of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (2000), and the adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007), indigenous peoples have been marginalized from intergovernmental environmental negotiations. Indigenous environment protectors’ lives are in danger while the Amazon rainforests continue to burn.  By the third decade of the 21st century, the dawn of “woke” capitalism was accompanied by the expansion of ethical investment, with BlackRock leading the field in the “greening” of investment management, while Big Oil sought a career change in sustainable energy production. The final chapters explain the confluence of forces that has resulted in the continued expansion of the extractive frontier into indigenous territory in the Amazon, including areas occupied by peoples living in voluntary isolation.  Among these forces are legal and extracurricular payments made to individuals, within indigenous communities and in state entities, and the use of tax havens to deposit unofficial payments made to secure public contracts. Solutions to loss of biodiversity and climate change may be found as much in the transformation of global financial and tax systems in terms of transparency and accountability, as in efforts by states, intergovernmental institutions and private foundations to protect wild areas through the designation of national parks, through climate finance, and other “sustainable” investment strategies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52456042070289,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52456042561809,"sku":"NLS9783030815189","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783030815189.jpg?v=1759376122"},{"product_id":"organized-crime-fear-and-peacebuilding-in-mexico-book-mauricio-meschoulam-9783319949284","title":"Organized Crime, Fear and Peacebuilding in Mexico","description":"The book focuses on the psychosocial effects that organized crime related violence has produced in Mexico.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52481150026001,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52481151041809,"sku":"NLS9783319949284","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783319949284.jpg?v=1759851305"},{"product_id":"widening-the-scope-of-environmental-policies-in-north-america-book-gustavo-sosa-nunez-9783319562353","title":"Widening the Scope of Environmental Policies in North America","description":"This edited volume provides a variety of insights into the context in which ocean and wetlands policy is placed at the sub-continental level.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52483572564241,"sku":"NLS9783319562353","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53037351633169,"sku":"NIN9783319562353","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783319562353.jpg?v=1759854919"},{"product_id":"consolidating-economic-governance-in-latin-america-book-alejandro-angel-9783030645212","title":"Consolidating Economic Governance in Latin America","description":"This book explains how Latin American countries consolidate economic governance after serious disruptions to their formal and informal policy making routines.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52488844345617,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52488845951249,"sku":"NLS9783030645212","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783030645212.jpg?v=1759877818"},{"product_id":"protecting-human-rights-defenders-in-latin-america-book-ulisses-terto-neto-9783319610931","title":"Protecting Human Rights Defenders in Latin America","description":"This book offers a legal and socio-political analysis of the Brazilian Program for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders.

This book centers on the experiences of individuals in those less favored social groups who may have suffered structural poverty for decades, or who may have been simply deprived of a basic income to cover their most essential needs.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52659447038225,"sku":"NLS9783030009007","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53037286654225,"sku":"NIN9783030009007","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783030009007.jpg?v=1762263062"},{"product_id":"international-intervention-instruments-against-corruption-in-central-america-book-laura-zamudiogonzlez-9783030408770","title":"International Intervention Instruments against Corruption in Central America","description":"This book analyzes the innovative international intervention instruments against corruption in Central America called Hybrid Anticorruption Agencies or HACAS.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52662329114897,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52662329704721,"sku":"NLS9783030408770","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783030408770.jpg?v=1762269253"},{"product_id":"political-economy-of-agrarian-change-in-latin-america-book-matilda-baraibar-norberg-9783030245856","title":"The Political Economy of Agrarian Change in Latin America","description":"By comparatively examining how these states have acted in a context of global driven market forces and historically formed institutions, the monograph illuminates the differing capacities of state autonomy under the present era of globalized agriculture.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52668862365969,"sku":"NLS9783030245856","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53037300842769,"sku":"NIN9783030245856","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783030245856.jpg?v=1762286123"},{"product_id":"political-economy-of-agrarian-change-in-latin-america-book-matilda-baraibar-norberg-9783030245887","title":"The Political Economy of Agrarian Change in Latin America","description":"This book makes an original contribution to the discussion about agro-food exporting countries’ governmental policy.

Indigenous peoples are essential as guardians of the world’s wild places for the maintenance of ecosystems and the prevention of climate change. The Amazonian\/Andean indigenous philosophies of sumac kawsay\/suma qamaña (buen vivir) were the inspiration for the incorporation of the Rights of Nature into the Ecuadorian and Bolivian constitutions of 2008 and 2009. Yet despite the creation of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (2000), and the adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007), indigenous peoples have been marginalized from intergovernmental environmental negotiations. Indigenous environment protectors’ lives are in danger while the Amazon rainforests continue to burn.  By the third decade of the 21st century, the dawn of “woke” capitalism was accompanied by the expansion of ethical investment, with BlackRock leading the field in the “greening” of investment management, while Big Oil sought a career change in sustainable energy production. The final chapters explain the confluence of forces that has resulted in the continued expansion of the extractive frontier into indigenous territory in the Amazon, including areas occupied by peoples living in voluntary isolation.  Among these forces are legal and extracurricular payments made to individuals, within indigenous communities and in state entities, and the use of tax havens to deposit unofficial payments made to secure public contracts. Solutions to loss of biodiversity and climate change may be found as much in the transformation of global financial and tax systems in terms of transparency and accountability, as in efforts by states, intergovernmental institutions and private foundations to protect wild areas through the designation of national parks, through climate finance, and other “sustainable” investment strategies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52687892644113,"sku":"NLS9783030815219","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783030815219.jpg?v=1762331606"},{"product_id":"varieties-of-subnational-debt-management-and-governance-in-mexico-book-heidi-jane-m-smith-9783031978951","title":"Varieties of Subnational Debt Management and Governance in Mexico","description":"This book analyses debt management in subnational governments in Mexico via quantitative and qualitative methods of research. Particularly, the project initiates the much-needed discussions on the role that subnational governments in Mexico can play in the financing of infrastructure, as well as the challenges and opportunities associated with their participation in capital markets. The author includes interviews with state leaders to corroborate the statistical analysis created and generated with the federal municipal and state databases. Case studies include: four states—Nuevo León, Guanajuato, the State of Mexico, and Mexico City—and three major metropolitan areas—León, Guanajuato, and Monterrey. Interviews with these key financial players, not only at the federal level but also at local level, in their interpretation, usability and access of the current financial models are assessed and help to explain the current financial state of Mexico.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52849951441169,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52849951572241,"sku":"NIN9783031978951","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783031978951.jpg?v=1764882672"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/governance-development-and-social-inclusion-in-latin-america-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
