Download or read book Infraestruturas financiadas por recursos naturais written by Håvard Halland and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-05-28 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nas últimas décadas, os países em desenvolvimento ricos em recursos têm utilizado os seus recursos naturais como garantia colateral para ter acesso a fontes de financiamento para o investimento, contrabalançando assim as barreiras com que se deparam no acesso a empréstimos bancários convencionais e a mercados de capital. Um dos modelos de financiamento que surgiu desta situação foi o modelo de Infraestruturas Financiadas por Recursos (RFI), uma adaptação dos anteriores modelos de empréstimos garantidos pelo petróleo promovidos por vários bancos ocidentais em à?frica. Num acordo de RFI, o empréstimo para a construção de uma infraestrutura é titularizado pelo valor actual líquido de um fluxo de receitas futuras provenientes da extracção de petróleo ou de minerais. O modelo tem sido aplicado em vários países africanos, num valor contratual cumulativo de cerca de USD 30 000 milhões, de acordo com fontes à disposição do público. Este relatório, composto de um estudo preparado pelos especialistas mundiais em financiamento de projectos Hunton and Williams LLP e de comentários de seis economistas e formuladores de políticas de renome internacional, apresenta uma discussão analítica da contratação de infraestruturas financiada pelos recursos naturais (RFI) numa perspectiva de financiamento de projectos. O relatório visa servir de fórum para uma discussão aprofundada e de base para uma investigação adicional sobre o papel, riscos e potencial do modelo RFI sem qualquer intenção de apresentar um ponto de vista sustentado pelo Banco Mundial relativamente à contratação RFI. Foi motivado pela convicção de que, se os países quiserem continuar a procurar RFI ou a receber propostas não solicitadas de RFI, cabe à s autoridades públicas fazer a distinção entre bons e maus negócios, fazer um julgamento sobre compromissos inevitáveis e actuar em conformidade. O relatório visa oferecer uma base para desenvolver indicações sobre o modo como se podem fazer negócios RFI sujeitos ao mesmo grau de escrutínio público que qualquer outro instrumento, através do qual um governo de um país de rendimento baixo ou de rendimento médio-baixo possa procurar mobilizar financiamento ao desenvolvimento.
Download or read book A Ditadura Militar e a Governan a da gua no Brasil The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil written by Fernanda de Souza Braga and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-03-11 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades there has been an exponential increase in large hydroelectric plants in Brazil, especially in the Amazon region. These large hydraulic structures impact the environment and the lives of people living in the places where they settle and require a special type of water governance. The dictatorial regime (1964-1985) created a "standard" for the construction of these great structures, through an institutional and legal framework, which benefited the Brazilian business elite but also, through the creation of a popular imagination, which shows itself lasting progress on the country's progress and development. The suspension of security, the fragility of institutional environmental structures, the disrespect for indigenous reserves, the lack of clarity about the concept of "affected population" and the non-payment of fair compensation were identified as one of the main challenges for a democratic water governance in the country. In the late 1970s, the Dam-Affected Movement (MAB) began its organization and is also studied in this research. The study is an important and insightful academic contribution to the understanding of the main bottlenecks of effective water governance in Brazil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Tradição da Liberdade - Tomo II é um contributo importante para compreender a diversidade que compõe o liberalismo, colocando o leitor em contacto com obras de referência de quatro autores europeus: os franceses Étienne de La Boétie (Discurso sobre a Servidão Voluntária) e Benjamin Constant (Da Liberdade dos Antigos Comparada à dos Modernos), o alemão Wilhelm von Humboldt (Os Limites da Acção do Estado) e o escocês Adam Smith (Riqueza das Nações). À excepção de La Boétie, que viveu no século XVI, todos viveram e escreveram em finais do século XVIII, inícios do século XIX – a fervilhante era da Declaração da Independência dos Estados Unidos da América (1776), da Revolução Francesa (1789) e do Iluminismo –, marcando de forma clara o pensamento da sua época e das seguintes. Um livro que, além de resumir quatro grandes obras do passado, mostra os muitos ensinamentos que elas têm para quem vive na Europa actual e acredita que o futuro passa por construir uma União Europeia ao serviço da liberdade, contra os retrocessos proteccionistas e as pulsões nacionalistas.

Download or read book Innovation in Brazil written by Elisabeth B. Reynolds and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 2000s, state-led and innovation-focused strategies have characterized the approach to development pursued in countries around the world, such as China, India, and South Korea. Brazil, the largest and most industrialized economy in Latin America, demonstrates both the opportunities and challenges of this approach. Over the course of nearly 20 years, the Brazilian government enacted various policies and programs designed to strengthen the country’s capacity to innovate. It increased spending on science and technology, encouraged greater collaboration between industry and universities, and fostered the creation of new institutions whose primary aim was to facilitate greater private research and development (R&D) spending. In this book, the editors unite a diverse array of empirical contributions around a few key themes, including public policies, institutions and innovation ecosystems, and firms and industries, that collectively make the case for a new, forward-looking innovation agenda aimed at addressing persistent challenges and exploiting emerging opportunities in Brazil. Its conclusions offer valuable lessons for other developing and emerging economies seeking to accelerate innovation and growth in the modern age. With its interdisciplinary and wide-ranging contribution to the study of innovation, as well as attention to broader policy implications, this book will appeal to scholars and professionals alike.

Cada vez mais os consumidores se preocupam em adquirir produtos e serviços éticos, ou seja, que foram produzidos, anunciados e comercializados a partir dos princípios expostos no Pacto Global.
