Por uma política dos encontros: reflexões sobre o fomento à cultura e às artes no Brasil
type: item
description: This article investigates aspects of Néstor García Canclini’s work that may contribute to reflections on Brazilian cultural policies, marked in recent years by social mobilizations that led to the Aldir Blanc and Paulo Gustavo laws. In addition to the classic article “Cultural Policies and the Development Crisis”, originally published in 1987, Canclini’s works focused on aesthetics and interculturality will be explored. These works highlight institutional crises but also suggest ways to collectively envision other possible worlds. The conclusions indicate that cultural policies can be more effective if, instead of encouraging competition for dwindling resources, they promote encounters that help us imagine new ways of coexisting as a society.

Discussões inconclusas: Desastre e Sistema Complexo
type: item
description: The text presents a reflection on disaster and complex system by resuming a historical perspective of the three paradigms of disaster concepts as a dynamic and complex process, from the lens of a complex adaptive system, contributing to public policies and understanding of disaster as an intervener of reality. The observer who defines or experiences the phenomenon and its location in the system, proves to be substantial in the complex process that the disaster reveals in reality.

Regularização fundiária no âmbito da reforma agrária: o caso do assentamento rural Santa Mônica - Terenos, MS
type: item
description: The article aims to identify the perception of positive and negative aspects of land regularization by family farmers in the Settlement Project (PA) Santa Mônica Fetagri, in Terenos, Mato Grosso do Sul state. The methodology developed in three stages: i) documental and bibliographic research; ii) analysis of 717 interviews in Radis/UFMT Project database; iii) carrying out and analyzing 64 semi-structured interviews. The responses were grouped using the discourse analysis technique. On the topic of benefits of titling, were identified eight indicators, among which stand out the legal security and the monetary value of the lot. Regarding the negative aspects, three indicators were identified: the absence of changes after the degree; concerns about acquiring debt without having consolidated agricultural production; and sufficient income to maintain the lot and the family.

De sesmaria a latifúndio: a reconstituição da cadeia dominial de um assentamento rural em Goiás
type: item
description: The article re-constructs the dominial chain of a ancient sesmaria, located in the state of Goiás, Brazil, until its transformation into a Rural Settlement, demonstrating how, in Brazil, agrarian legislation and justice operators was used to benefit large rural properties.We re-constituted the ownership chain of the former sesmaria using, at the same time, an analysis of the legal documentation relating to Brazilian agrarian legislation and the traces of ancient sesmaria, both in the colonial documentation and those mentioned in the administrative process of expropriation of the rural property. The argument develops in two dimensions: 1. examining the extensive land legislation produced by the State, emphasizing the way in which a regulation was produced in order to legitimize an order, in fact, already required, and to create the necessary conditions to implementation for the implementation of the land market and facilitate the selective transition from public property to private agents; 2. Following the successive transformations and transformations of the aforementioned property, from the granting of sesmaria to the expropriation process for the purposes of agrarian reform, we argue that the action of public agents involved in this process, at different levels, express a voluntarism that, in the end, defined the implementation of the Acaba Vida Settlement Project as a paradigmatic case of how agrarian reform in Brazil benefits private interests to the detriment of its social function.

Aderência do gás natural catarinense ao neourbanismo de Ascher
type: item
description: The article analyzes the role of natural gas as a vector of socio-economic development in the territory of Santa Catarina. The main theoretical reference is the concept of neo-urbanism, developed by François Ascher, and bibliographical and documentary research is used as a method, with an empirical approach to the relationship between natural gas and modern urbanism. The conclusion is that natural gas is intrinsically associated with the various characteristics of neo-urbanism and can be classified, in the context of Santa Catarina, as a phenomenon subordinate to urban dynamics and the prevailing mode of production.

O cenário acadêmico brasileiro ao aplicar ciência cidadã em pesquisas ecológicas
type: item
description: Citizen science is a promising way to strengthen the relationship between academia and society. Although it is becoming popular worldwide, it may not be straightforward to perform it within the current modus operandi of Brazilian institutions for research and higher education in scientist-led projects aimed to promote knowledge for environmental conservation. In this article, we conceptualize ‘citizen science’ and ‘open science’ and we propose thoughts of three scenarios in which Brazilians academics are facing when trying to promote an accessible and inclusive science. Each scenario has its positive and negative aspects for formal researchers (e.g., scientific productivity) as well as for society (e.g., applied knowledge). In order to enhance citizen science, we suggest adjustments within Brazilians institutions regarding the assessment of researchers and ways to optimize research projects of this nature.

Gestão privada das florestas públicas do Brasil: análise de contratos de concessão
type: item
description: This paper addresses the protection of free competition within the public concession agreement of Jamari National Forest, located in Rondônia State, and Altamira National Forest, located in Pará, it seeks to ascertain concretely whether there are, in fact, concerns on the part of the state to curb and prevent anticompetitive conduct on the part of the concessionaire agents, as well as avoid concentration in market structures. A survey was carried out of all the bidding contracts of the aforementioned forest management units, as well as reports on productivity, development and sustainability of the activities developed by the concessionaires to evaluate the way of action of the State in achieving the objectives of the forest management law.

Uma genealogia do bem comum relacionada à cidade
type: item
description: This article presents a critical analysis of the concept of ‘common good’, also known as ‘common goods’ and ‘commons’, to reflect on a definition of ‘urban common’ that can encompass the complexities of the term in the disciplinary field of urbanism, as well as to address some challenges related to contemporary cities. Those challenges were drastically affected by the economic crisis of 2008. Such economic, ecological, social, and political crisis has revived the discussion on the theme of commons among various disciplines and schools of thought. Through a careful analytical interpretation carried out by reviewing the literature on the common good in various disciplines and schools of thought, this essay intends to conceptualize and update the notion of urban commons, emphasizing the problematization of the topics of housing and urbanization in the 21st century.

Zoneamento Ecológico-Econômico: panorama e interface com o planejamento e as políticas públicas
type: item
description: Environmental zoning is an instrument of Brazil’s 1981 National Environmental Policy that aims to harmonize environmental, social and economic conflicts associated with development and, over the years, has being implemented as Ecological-Economic Zoning (EEZ). The article aims to analyze the EEZ panorama in the country as an instrument for planning and supporting public policies. To this end, is based on a bibliographic and documentary review and interviews with representatives of agencies responsible for the EEZ. The results indicate: only 28 of the 79 EEZ experiences approved by legal standard, by which the role of the EEZ for planning and guidelines for public policies and private activities are defined; and challenges to implement the role of the EEZ for planning and its guidelines, demonstrating that the EEZ has not constituted a relevant purpose and of interest to public managers to support planning and public policies.

O mercado regulado de carbono no Brasil
type: item
description: The increasing effects of climate change have reinforced the urgency of adaptation and mitigation. One important instrument has been the regulated carbon market. Only in December 2024 did Brazil approve the creation of the regulated market, but it is still without regulation. Thus, the objective of this work is to reflect on the creation of the regulated carbon market in Brazil. To this end, the study carried out a bibliographic review of international and national experiences and legislative discussions, such as bills and the Brazilian Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading System (SBCE). The results show that, despite the approval of the SBCE, fundamental issues for its implementation are still lacking, in addition to the lack of definition of the role of the agricultural sector.

Análise comparativa legal do monitoramento do armazenamento de CO2 em países selecionados
type: item
description: The present work aims to analyze the legal aspects of monitoring CO2 storage in selected countries, glimpsing the legislative scenario in Brazil, the United States, the United Kingdom, Norway, Canada, Australia, Japan, and the European Union. Using the deductive method and the exploratory and comparative research, the article seeks to introduce the reader to the topic, discussing the particularities of the general aspects of monitoring, bringing the risks related to monitoring, and some essential technological aspects. The focus of the first part of the article is the integrity and security of storage facilities and concepts related to monitoring such facilities. To this end, it takes care to present the importance of the subject from a legal perspective so that the regulatory structures for CO2 storage ensure that any anomalies are corrected to remedy any damages. It then goes into the topic of legislation related to monitoring in each selected country. In the development of the question, the possible scenarios for the future of monitoring CO2 storage are brought to light, obtained from the comparison of research results among the selected countries. The positive and negative aspects of each case are highlighted, and Brazil’s lessons are to be learned.

Da proteção social à proteção socioambiental em tempos de mudança climática: uma retrospectiva e uma proposta
type: item
description: In the context of climate change, initiatives aimed at adaptation and mitigation, and which also reduce vulnerabilities, are a growing challenge. The energy transition plays a key role on climate policy agendas. This article addresses this challenge by analyzing the evolution of social protection instruments and presents a proposal for the integration of public policies to combat poverty and sustainable development, based on socio-environmental protection. The proposal focuses on the social and ecological conditions of the Brazilian semi-arid region, where droughts are a limiting factor for the economy and social well-being. Abundant sunshine goes from a problem to a solution, when it is used to generate clean energy, fostering the actual income of vulnerable communities.

A agropecuária como parte da solução no enfrentamento das mudanças climáticas globais
type: item
description: Brazil is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of food, feed, fiber and (bio)fuels. The agricultural sector is one of the main responsible for the emission of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) among sectors of the economy, but it is also one of the human activities most vulnerable to the effects of global climate change, especially in countries with a tropical climate. However, the adoption of regenerative management practices and sustainable land uses can not only increase Carbon (C) sequestration but also reduce GHG emissions into the atmosphere. This document provides general information, available in the literature, about some of the agricultural management practices that are considered options for adapting and mitigating climate change.

Sistemas municipais de saúde e mudanças climáticas: desafios de infraestrutura e resiliência no Brasil
type: item
description: This critical essay analyzes the vulnerability of Brazilian municipal healthcare systems to climate change, highlighting the gap between regulatory frameworks and the effective implementation of adaptive policies. Based on recent extreme events, it demonstrates how climate impacts simultaneously compromise health infrastructure and increase demand for services, a phenomenon characterized as “double burden”. The results indicate significant structural weaknesses: only a minority of capital cities have climate change-related plans, and budget execution for risk management remains insufficient. A triple transformation (conceptual, operational, and budgetary) is proposed to build resilient systems, emphasizing integration between levels of care, strengthening regional governance, and valuing community social capital. It concludes that the fundamental redesign of health systems, driven by political and budgetary commitment compatible with the magnitude of the climate crisis, is imperative for protecting vulnerable populations.

description: The 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP30 - UNFCCC) will be held in Belém, in November 2025. This will be a historic gathering: either we advance real solutions to halt destruction and begin regenerating the Amazon - integrating science, technology, local knowledge, and political will - or we will witness the tipping point of the largest biological reserve and rainfall generator on Earth’s surface. The world cannot fail Amazonia. Protecting the forest and its local populations is a global responsibility, and keeping it alive and connected is crucial for the future of humanity.

COP-30 e o agravamento da crise climática - caminhos para a construção de uma sociedade sustentável
type: item
description: There are strong societal expectations for changes in the strategy for addressing global climate change. The rapid increase in the incidence and intensity of extreme weather events has sounded like a clear warning to the population, highlighting the climate emergency. COP-30 reflects society’s anxiety, with a necessary change in the global strategy to eliminate the extraction and use of fossil fuels and the implementation of public policies aimed at climate adaptation. Science makes it clear that the current trajectory of high emissions is leading the planet’s climate to warm by an average of 3 degrees Celsius, which in Brazil is reflected in a temperature increase of 4 to 4.5 °C. Significant reductions in rainfall are predicted for Central Brazil, the Amazon, and the Northeast, with an increase in rainfall expected for Rio Grande do Sul. These changes impact Brazil’s agricultural production and hydroelectric generation and have numerous other adverse effects on society. Brazil’s ecosystems are expected to undergo profound changes, and the resulting impacts on population health cannot be overlooked. The need to rethink our economic development, while respecting planetary boundaries and addressing the necessary reduction in social inequalities, is putting pressure on COP-30. We need to build a minimally sustainable society, with zero carbon emissions, lower socioeconomic disparities, that respects planetary boundaries, and is based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A difficult task, but one on which a dignified life for our children and grandchildren depends. Ethical issues are increasingly important, as we have no right to compromise the lives of human beings who have just been born or who will soon be born. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) pave the way for building this new society. COP30 can make the necessary turn towards a new Sustainable Society.

As expectativas para a COP30 em Belém
type: item
description: The main objective of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Climate Convention, which took place in Baku, Azerbaijan in November 2024, was to update the financial commitments of industrialized countries “to meet the needs of developing countries”. These needs were estimated by the Convention’s Finance Committee at 5 to 7 trillion dollars from 2022 to 2030, i.e. around 455-485 billion dollars a year. COP 29 in Baku adopted a new commitment to invest 300 billion dollars a year by 2035. Applying these resources will not prevent the Earth’s temperature from exceeding 2.6 oC by the end of the century. Additional actions will be essential to prevent the Earth’s temperature from rising by just 1.5 oC, such as a new Marshall Plan to combat global warming or new public policies.

Militarização e desdemocratização ao longo dos governos chavistas na Venezuela
type: item
description: This article analyzes the process of militarization and dedemocratization in Venezuela throughout the governments of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro. We note that since the beginning of Chávez’s government, the military have received incentives to participate in politics in the institutional spheres and have gained greater prominence within the government coalition especially after the failed coup attempt against Chávez in 2002. Under Maduro’s administration, ties between the government and the military have strengthened, which, on the one hand, has ensured Maduro’s survival in power, amid a deep economic crisis and attacks by opposing groups to overthrow him, but on the other hand contributes to the corrosion of the country’s democratic system. The methodology used was Content Analysis, through which we examined academic articles and journalistic texts produced on military issues and democracy in Venezuela

Críticas feministas à democracia no Brasil: análises da crise e dos limites da normalidade
type: item
description: Drawing on contributions from the literature on social movements and participation and feminist political theories, the article discusses the double challenge posed by the unfulfilled promises of liberal democracies and the advancement of illiberal and authoritarian alternatives. The reading of what is at stake in the normality and crisis of democracies is made from the voices of Brazilian feminist and anti-racist leaders, based on interviews we carried out in 2023. The interviews allowed us to access a concrete dimension of democracy, while lived experience, which is expressed in the relationships of these women and the organizations in which they work with the Brazilian State. From this perspective, the analyzes highlight the tension between structure and situation: the view that the State has historically been violent and exclusionary towards women, particularly black, indigenous and trans women, and the view that the political situation matters because it can improve or worsen the conditions under which the State is contested. The tension between structure and situation guides the construction of strategies and disputes for democracy.

Inteligência Artificial e democracia: humanos, máquinas e instituições algorítmicas
type: item
description: This article deals with changes in the dynamics of democratic regimes due to the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Democratic theory has advanced in the epistemology of politics considering the advances of individual and collective intelligence, understanding how actors and social movements tension and produce forms of coexistence within democracies. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence means a complexification of democratic dynamics since it grounds an epistemology of politics based on its mutuality with individual and collective intelligence. The coexistence of these three forms of intelligence provides new challenges for democratic theory in the context of the interaction between humans and machines. We conclude by observing how democratic solutions have been created to face the social dilemmas that emerge with Artificial Intelligence.

Crise da democracia brasileira e arranjos jurídico-institucionais
type: item
description: In recent years, the idea that “mature” liberal-democratic political regimes are in crisis due to the emergence of authoritarian, populist and nationalist leaders, ideas and movements has occupied a central position in political, journalistic and academic debates. In this article, we will discuss the legal-institutional dimension of the contemporary crisis of Brazilian democracy and its specificities in the face of the global context. In order to do so, we analyze the very concept of crisis of liberal-representative democracy and its application to the contemporary Brazilian and global political context, and then we explore the different explanatory dimensions for the crisis in its correlations with the legal-institutional arrangements.

Dinâmica institucional e lastro internacional: para um diagnóstico da crise política brasileira (2013-2022)
type: item
description: Comprehensive appraisal of Brazilian politics in the last decade, from the institutional framework depicted by political science in previous years to some foreseeable perspectives to the future, this papers aims at a synthesis of the main traits of the Brazilian case, covering topics such as institutional dynamics and their conditions of stability; dysfunctionalities of the electoral campaign financing regulation and its clash with a system of controls, itself precariously controlled; the drift towards a government hostile to the constitutional order, leading to a worsened predatory environment; interaction of the Brazilian crisis with an international environment of democratic corrosion; prospects for eventually overcoming the destructive drift, its dependence on the external scenario.

Igualdade e Justiça hoje, seguindo Aristóteles
type: item
description: In the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle investigates justice as equality (ἰςὀτης) and focuses on what he calls justice as a particular virtue, while in Politics he once again takes equality as a fundamental idea and relates it to the constitution of a balanced πὀλις. Different cities will have different constitutions, and their specific traits depend on how they deal with difference and equality. In the first part of this article, I will argue that the equality required in Politics translates into belonging. In its second part, I will argue that belonging in contemporary societies has become a problem because inequalities have grown to such an extent that people no longer feel they belong to the legal or political order. The argument assumes that democratic and republican legitimacy depends on the idea of general justice, in which equality means belonging and indifference to belonging is fertile ground for distrust and authoritarian solutions.

A democracia tem futuro?
type: item
description: The article examines contemporary challenges to democracy through a historical lens, focusing on issues such as declining trust in political institutions and the rise of populist movements. These phenomena challenge democracy as a normative ideal, an institutional framework, and a set of established procedures. While acknowledging significant contemporary impasses, the article avoids both fatalistic and overly optimistic interpretations. Instead, it argues that the inherently expansive nature of democracy, though insufficient on its own to ensure its survival, offers a foundation for crafting political strategies that leverage human and technological resources. These strategies can foster innovative approaches to advancing justice, inclusion, and participation - key elements that sustain democratic coexistence.

Mídias sociais e as disrupções da democracia
type: item
description: “Disruption” is a buzzword used to represent the impacts of digital media over areas such as economy and communication. However, what is not clear are the effects of the centrality of social media over public spaces and, therefore, over the basic rights to information and communication that are necessary for the legitimacy of democratic institutions. In this text we discuss these impacts by mapping social media usage tendencies in the globe, the current discussions on the tensions with legacy media, and through the analysis of specific issues, such as public information, the meaning of “public” and “social”, and transparency and access to information. We argue that social media have the responsibility of engaging themselves in a multi-sectorial and international process of digital governance, which includes the discussion on harmful speech online, Internet freedom, algorithmic transparency, and access to information. Otherwise they will risk their political and even economic trustworthiness.

Cala a boca, jornalista: intimidação e desinformação como políticas de Estado
type: item
description: This paper analyzes recent episodes of restriction of press freedom and freedom of speech promoted and stimulated by the Brazilian federal government, specially under Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2022). It also exposes the anachronisms of a legal system that, in some cases, protects and endorses different forms of intimidation and persecution of journalists and media outlets. These episodes exemplify the political use of misinformation, converted in a non-official state policy, and collaborate to the erosion of democracy, which can be measured by using different international monitors of democratic quality. According to V-Dem, one of the most prestigious of these monitors, Brazil is among the ten countries that had the biggest democratic erosion in the last ten years, in part because of the decrease of standards in both press and academic freedom.

Ameaças das plataformas digitais ao jornalismo: contributos para a regulação
type: item
description: This article emphasizes how digital platforms pose real risks to journalism and democracy as they contribute to their deterioration through aggressive expansion strategies. The article takes the form of an essay and is based on specialized literature and documentation of cases in Brazil and abroad. The text also systematizes part of the troubled coexistence of two central systems in contemporary experience: platformized structures and the traditional journalistic service, a historical social provider of information. Big tech companies such as Alphabet/Google and Meta/Facebook, for example, are determined to concentrate markets and encroach upon the main economic, cultural, and social activities, driving their businesses towards profit maximization and competition neutralization, causing collateral damage that weakens traditional forms of social coexistence and mass communication. Despite the harmful consequences for the journalism industry, big tech companies maintain supportive discourses for the sector, materialized in development programs, professional training, and business support. However, these investments are insufficient to mitigate the losses generated by the platforms themselves. At the end of the article, the argument draws attention to the need to regulate platforms, strengthening democracy and other values relevant to collective life.
