Deterritorialization and Literary Form: Brazilian Contemporary Literature and Urban Experience
The study deals with the mediations between the urban social organization and the artistic form in contemporary Brazilian literature. It tries to contrast close, direct accounts, works that register explicitly the violent and excluding elements of everyday life in large Brazilian cities, with some processes of defiguration and deterritorialization which are also structural to Brazilian contemporary literature, and function as particularly critical interlocutors of an urban experience of violence, instability and segregation.

The Brazilian Privatization Experience: What's Next?
This paper analyses the process of privatisation in Brazil and argues that it was a pragmatic response to short-term macroeconomic problems arising from the state of disarray of national fiscal accounts. The paper then looks at the quality of regulation in public services after privatisation. A final section considers the question of how durable privatisation is likely to be in Brazil.

Expansion Strategies of European Banks to Brazil and their Impacts on the Brazilian Banking Sector
The paper aims at analyzing the main determinants of the recent wave of European banks to Brazil as well as the expansion strategies of the major European banks in Latin America, including Brazil. The hypothesis of the paper is that the European banks entry into Brazil can be understood only if we consider both external and internal determinants. The article also evaluates the impacts of the recent entry of European banks in the retail banking market in Brazil.

How can legislators' behaviour be explained within Congress? Why do legislators cooperate with the president's preferences? What are the main institutional instruments the executive has to secure cooperation? This article intends to answer those questions by examining the determinants of legislators' voting behaviour inside the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies. In order to do so, it takes into account two institutional aspects: the role of decentralized electoral rules which give rise to political parties extremely fragile in the electoral arena; and the effect of a huge centralized internal decision-making process within Congress.

Trade Creation and Trade Diversion: The Welfare Impact of MERCOSUR on Argentina and Brazil
This paper examines the MERCOSUR trade bloc and assesses how Argentine and Brazilian trade flows have changed since its formation and the extent to which this represents trade creation or trade diversion. These net welfare effects of integration are then assessed in the context of an incomplete MERCOSUR common external tariff (CET) and managed trade agreements between Argentina and Brazil. Overall, there are total welfare gains for both countries although they are small as a percentage of GDP.

The article analyses the Roboré Agreements signed by the Chancellors of Brazil and Bolivia in 1958 about the exploitation of Bolivian oil, the Corumbá-Santa Cruz de la Sierra railway, and the demarcation of the border between the two countries, as a case study of foreign policy-making in Brazil. More specifically, it examines the case from as an instance of inter-bureaucratic decision-making and in terms of relations between the executive and the legislative branches.

Richard Rorty e a importância do pós-moderno no contexto cultural brasileiro
This essay attempts at the discussion of the philosophy of Richard Rorty and how it discusses Derrida's "metaphysics of presence." It also attempts to see Rorty's contribution to the issue of the permanence of art in the new millennium. It will try to define the possibility of a 'post-modernist' period in Brazil, with a special regard to contemporary Brazilian literature. It will focus on Rorty´s proposal of a pragmatic philosophy (Dewey) to explain deconstructive or post-modern literature and philosophy. and the media world. Its conclusion points to issues concerning the possibility of the resistance of esthetics, art and literature in present-day Brazilian culture.
