This article sketches the evolution of Brazilian multinational companies, from the perspective of the development of Latin-American multinational companies, with respect to the process of globalization. With this article, we looked to characterize the typical profile of these enterprises in agreement with the Dunning Model to confirm if this typology is adequate for the characterization of internationalization strategies. We also explored the Theory of the Cultural Dimensions of Hofstede. While doing this, we analyzed which model measures the strategic alignment and is more orientated in terms of: (i) exploration of natural resources and advantages of costs of labor not qualified (resource seeking), advantages; (ii) location and synergies of market (market seeking), investments; (iii) search of strategic assets of the type efficiency seeking (for what they look to rationalize the production and to explore savings of specialization and location), investments; and (iv) type of strategic asset seeking (turned to the acquisition of resources and competences with the objective to develop competitiveness through of the innovation and growth of strategic capacities). We also summarize the referential system that makes possible the development of future inquiries for the delineation of the principal strategies, of the public politics of the National States, and also the financial strategies of these enterprises.

Empirical Framework

The objective of this pape ris to analyze the internationalization strategies of Brazilian multinational companies that manufacture agricultural implements. For the realization of theoretical-empirical framework are adopted the Dunning Typologies, the Nordic School and the Cultural Dimensions of Hofstede. For this, two pilot cases of competing companies that have very similar characteristics in terms of organizational structure are analyzed. This study evidenced to what extent strategic alignment is goal-oriented in terms of: (i) exploitation of natural resources and cost advantages of unskilled labor; (Ii) location seeking advantages and market synergies; (Iii) investments oriented to the search for strategic assets of the type efficiency seeking (those that seek to rationalize production and explore economies of specialization and location); (Iv) strategic asset seeking investments (aimed at the acquisition of resources and competences with the objective of increasing their competitiveness through innovation and growth of strategic capacities).

As políticas públicas ocupam importante papel no âmbito do planejamento estratégico e da gestão pública nos mais diferenciados setores. Sendo assim, este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a política pública de meio ambiente, tendo como foco principal o Plano Diretor da APA da Serrinha do Alambari, no município de Resende/RJ e sua correlação com a política setorial de turismo inscrita no Plano Diretor Municipal. A pesquisa se caracteriza como exploratória e de abordagem qualitativa, com estudo de caso. O resultado aponta para a falta de sinergia entre as políticas ambiental e a de turismo, comprometendo, pois, não só a atividade turística como a preservação do patrimônio natural. Espera-se que os dados e as informações obtidas norteiem o poder público para que sejam desenvolvidas ações efetivas, através das políticas públicas, para compatibilizar a prática do ecoturismo com a preservação e conservação dos recursos naturais, ambas pautadas na ótica do desenvolvimento sustentável. Public politics: Ecotourism X preservation of natural resources ABSTRACT Public politics have important role in the strategic planning and management of public in more differentiated sectors. Thus, this study aims to analyze the public environmental politic, focusing mainly on the Master Plan of the Serrinha Alambari Protect Area in the municipality of Resende (RJ, Brazil) and its correlation with the sectoral politic entered in the tourism Master Plan. The research is characterized as exploratory and qualitative approach with case study. The result points to the lack of synergy between environmental and tourism politics, compromising therefore not only to tourism activity as the preservation of natural heritage. It is expected that the data and information obtained will guide the government to be developed effective actions, through public politics, in order to reconcile the practice of ecotourism with the preservation and conservation of natural resources, both predicated in optics of sustainable development.

O presente artigo visa identificar na Ata de martírio do padre João Bosco Penido Burnier, produzida pelo bispo Pedro Casaldáliga, os elementos simbólicos que configuram um assassinado como Mártir da Caminhada Latino-Americana. Diferentemente dos mártires por causa da fé, estes – chamados mártires da justiça, ou jesuânicos – são identificados a Jesus e morrem como ele, em defesa das causas d’Ele: a vida, a justiça, a liberdade, os direitos humanos e etc. Por meio da análise de registros literários e plásticos acerca do martírio na teologia latino-americana, especialmente naquela ligada à Prelazia de São Félix do Araguaia, confrontados com teorias acerca do simbólico, pudemos apontar algumas conclusões. A saber: os elementos simbólicos empregados na caracterização do mártir da caminhada por Casaldáliga na ata de martírio de Burnier parecem ser intencionais. Mas, quais são suas intenções? Entre outras possibilidades, pode-se responder: animar as lutas pelas quais muitos morreram, manter viva a memória dos mortos, transpor as lutas do campo material para o campo religioso e condensar coletivos em torno da memória de uma liderança assassinada. Do ponto de vista religioso, a doação da vida é a expressão máxima da configuração de uma vida a Jesus em anúncio do Reino de Deus e em denúncia do antirreino. Abstract: This article aims to identify in the minutes of martyrdom of Father João Bosco Penido Burnier, produced by Bishop Pedro Casaldáliga, the symbolic elements that make up a murderer as a Martyr of the Latin American Walk. Unlike martyrs because of faith, these – called martyrs of justice, or jesuanic – are identified with Jesus and die like him, in defense of His causes: life, justice, freedom, human rights and so on. Through the analysis of literary and plastic records about martyrdom in Latin American theology, especially that related to the Prelature of São Félix do Araguaia, confronted with theories about the symbolic, we were able to point out some conclusions. Namely: the symbolic elements used in the characterization of the martyr of the walk by Casaldáliga in the minutes of Burnier’s martyrdom seem to be intentional. But what are your intentions? Among other possibilities, it can be answered: animate the struggles for which many died, keep the memory of the dead alive, transpose the struggles from the material field to the religious field and condense collectives around the memory of a murdered leadership. From the religious point of view, the giving of life is the maximum expression of the configuration of a life to Jesus in announcing the Kingdom of God and in denouncing the anti-kingdom.

The Relationship

The local population of the upper Theresian Valley owes its livelihood almost exclusively to the forest. Natural risks and institutional problems are hindering development. In times of change, such as those that the Ukraine is going through at present, the forest and natural resources in general can ensure the survival of the rural population. From the authors' point of view the communities in the upper Theresian Valley and similar areas should be actively engaged in the management of the forest, and, in the first instance, wood and forest should benefit the local populations. Corruption should be combated at its origin on the structural level. The public at large must have access to transparent information. Foreign investors should be independently monitored. The authors suggest that access to and the relationship of the local population with their natural resources be taken into account as an additional priority criterion for sustainability.

The main objective of this chapter is to define a set of strategic lines, from the public policy point of view, so that Portuguese suppliers of the auto industry can deploy a strategic alignment throughout the supply chain in order to position themselves as potential suppliers of the global sourcing strategy of their Iberian Peninsula clients. The characterization of the auto industry in Portugal and Spain is undertaken, framing the perspective of this industry and proposing the strategic guidelines for the Portuguese auto components industry to supply the Iberian market. The study supports a synergistic strategy between the Portuguese auto components industry and the Spanish automotive industry in order to increase the Portuguese incorporation in downstream activities of the supply chain. Portuguese auto components suppliers should adopt international relational strategies throughout the value chain in order to source their Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) clients and to reinforce their position as global suppliers. The strategy involves the consolidation of the Portuguese automotive cluster as global suppliers through specialization.

The article gives a survey of the basic problems which will be before the forthcoming UN Conference on the Law of the Sea – as seen from a Norwegian point of view. In examining the interrelationship between these problems, the author arrives at the conclusion that the only feasible solution would be a ‘package deal’ covering all the main issues. The juxtaposition of priorities of the various interest groups at the Conference – a majority of coastal states for whom the rights to the resources in an area adjacent to the territorial sea is the most burning issue, and a minority of maritime powers for whom the question of freedom of navigation is more important – indicates the nature of the possible overall compromise solution. Such a solution would, it seems, have to consist of a package deal which must reconcile and accommodate, the interests of maritime freedom on the one hand with on the other hand, the increasing need for management powers, both for the coastal state and for international regulatory bodies. The main elements of such a package would probably have to be the following: Firstly, a territorial sea limited to a maximum distance of twelve nautical miles from the baselines along the coast. There is already with the exception of a few Latin-American countries, broad agreement that a territorial sea limited to twelve nautical miles should constitute one of the main elements in the solution. Secondly, guaranteed rights of passage inside the territorial sea, including a special right of free or unimpeded passage through straits used for international navigation. Thirdly, extensive resource management rights for the coastal state in an adjacent area outside the territorial sea. In this adjacent area, which would be called the economic zone and which would extend to a maximum of 200 nautical miles, the jurisdiction of the coastal state would be limited to matters pertaining to the exploitation of the area's natural resources – both its seabed resources and its fisheries resources. The coastal state would also have certain well-defined rights in the zone where measures to combat pollution are concerned, and the right to regulate scientific research. There would be freedom of navigation inside the zone. In addition to an overall package solution along the lines mentioned above, the new convention will have to establish a legal regime for the exploitation of the natural resources on the seabed and ocean floor in areas outside national jurisdiction. It will also have to establish an international organization for the implementation of this legal regime. The author emphasizes the need for equipping the international organization with broad regulatory powers, in accordance with the basic approach taken by the UN General Assembly in 1970, when declaring the international seabed area as ‘the common heritage of mankind’.

El objetivo de la investigación fue caracterizar el problema de los incendios forestales peruanos a través de la descripción del ambiente donde se desarrollan los incendios forestales, del impacto de los incendios forestales sobre la población y los recursos naturales, de las estadísticas del área afectada y del número de incendios forestales y de la organización actual para el manejo de los incendios forestales. El análisis del problema permitió diagnosticar un conjunto de factores biofísicos, dificultades y deficiencias en la política ambiental actual, desde el punto de vista de su uso como elementos de toma de decisiones que contribuyan a reducir la gravedad de los incendios forestales en el país. FOREST FIRES IN PERU: A BIG PROBLEM FOR SOLVING Abstract The study of the forest fires in Peru was carried out over the national territory, that amounts in total an area of 1´285,215 km2, for the period 1973- 2000. The goal of the research was the characterization of the forest fire issue in Peru. To do that a set of different criteria were used, namely: the description of the forest fires environment features, the assessment of the impact of fires on the population and natural resources, the forest fires statistics concerning the total number of fires and total burned area and the current organization for forest fires management. The analysis of this problem made possible to diagnose a set of byophisic factors, difficulties and drawbacks in the current environmental policy, from the point of view of their use as decision-making elements that contribute to reduce the current importance of the forest fires problem in the country.

French Case

The article presents a brief characterization of the two main ways in which the public–private divide is understood in today’s European law. First, it explains the genesis of the public–private divide using the historical context to show when and how law as a whole was divided into “two separated worlds.” Subsequently, according to general law doctrine, the author tries to show that there is no significant difference between the “private” and the “public” due to the nature of law which is actually the same. The article also points to the famous and still valid 19th-century French case of Blanco, which was the turning point of thinking about law as “public” or “private” and its consequences. In fact, this short characterization is attempting to show a historical approach to the public–private divide and it addresses the main question of whether the public–private divide is still a relevant division or maybe better a relevant distinction in legal and in regulatory practice and whether it makes sense to continue to research legal phenomena based on the presumption that “public” and “private” represent truly distinctive normative orientations. This text is trying to propose an open approach focused on thought-provoking statements presenting a wider than only legal research point of view, which is more promising than the conventional discussion on the public–private divide. Sprawa Blanco — epokowe orzeczenie a doktryna prawa ogólnego. Podział public–private divide w kontekście historycznymW artykule przedstawiono krótką charakterystykę dwóch głównych sposobów rozumienia podziału public–private divide w aktualnym prawie europejskim. Po pierwsze, wyjaśniono genezę podziału public–private divide, używając kontekstu historycznego, aby pokazać, kiedy i jak prawo jako całość zostało podzielone na „dwa oddzielone światy”. Następnie, zgodnie z doktryną prawa ogólnego, starano się wykazać, że nie ma znaczącej różnicy między tym, co „prywatne”, a tym, co „publiczne” ze względu na naturę prawa, która jest rzeczywiście taka sama. Autor wskazuje również na słynną i wciąż aktualną dziewiętnastowieczną francuską sprawę Blanco, która jest punktem zwrotnym w myśleniu o prawie jako „publicznym” lub „prywatnym” i jego konsekwencjach. W rzeczywistości ta krótka charakterystyka ma pokazać historyczne podejście do podziału public–private divide i stawia autora przed głównym pytaniem: czy podział public–private divide nadal jest odpowiednim podziałem a może lepiej — rozróżnieniem w praktyce prawnej i regulacyjnej i czy sensowne jest kontynuowanie badania zjawisk prawnych z założenia, że „publiczne” i „prywatne” reprezentują prawdziwie wyróżniające się kierunki normatywne. Autor stara się przedstawić otwarte podejście skoncentrowane na prowokujących do myślenia wypowiedziach prezentujących szerszy niż tylko prawno-naukowy punkt widzenia, co jest bardziej obiecujące niż konwencjonalna dyskusja na temat podziału public–private divide.

Abstract This work presents reflections on the field of participatory democracy in Latin America, based on the analysis of the experiences of Cotacachi in Ecuador, and Torres in Venezuela, which are examples of great popular participation at the local level. The study proposes to interpret the experiences from a Latin American point of view, considering the singularities of each municipality analyzed. The aim is to identify which factors contribute to the emergence and consolidation of mechanisms of participation in the public policy decision-making process. In order to approximate the democratic theory of the context of Latin America, the study presents an analysis structured in two relevant concepts for the theory: agency and public space. These concepts were essential to identify which factors allowed the creation and consolidation of practices of participatory democracy at the local level. The analysis of the experiences resulted in a list of seven factors that were fundamental for their advancement and diffusion, factors that may represent important guidelines for the development of new democratic practices in countries of the region. Finally, the study present some reflections on the challenges that must be overcome to expand the local power and popular participation in Latin America.
