In weniger als einer Generation entwickelte sich Brasilien vom Waffenimporteur zu einem der zehn führenden Waffenexporteure der Welt. Dieses Wachstum der brasilianischen Rüstungsindustrie beruhte auf günstigen internationalen ökonomischen und sicherheitspolitischen Bedingungen in den sechziger und siebziger Jahren (weltweite Diffusion der entsprechenden Technologien, Rückgang des amerikanischen Marktanteils, steigende Nachfrage infolge regionaler Konflikte, seitens ölreicher Staaten und der südostasiatischen Schwellenländer). In der Zukunft könnte das internationale Umfeld das Wachstum aber eher hemmen. (SWP-Whr)

The post-World War II international economic order obliged the nation-states to conduct their foreign economic policies according to binding rules. As employment continued to be a purely national responsibility of the individual countries, international obligations turned into serious constraints on the pursuit of national employment policies. International agreement should provide the possibility that countries disengage themselves from the restrictive influence of foreign obligations. In addition, international employment policies would be desirable. They should focus on a common commitment to the goal of full employment rather than on concrete policy measures. But broad international strategies, such as the assumption of locomotive functions by strong economies or massive financial support for Third World development, can—depending on various conditions—also be positive.

The migration of older people in search for improved quality of life has become an important form of human mobility, and popular retirement destinations are often highly multilingual settings. This article explores language use and social inclusion in international retirement migration through a case study of Scandinavian retirees in the Alicante province in Spain. It examines the linguistic landscape they meet, their language use and their inclusion in their new home country. Interviews with retired migrants and key local individuals show that many migrants try to learn the host country language, but that these attempts are often not very successful. As a result, they frequently use either their native language or English for everyday communication. This article elaborates on three theoretical and political notions of inclusion—assimilation, multiculturalism and civic integration—and discusses how retired migrants' language use can be interpreted in the light of these notions. ; publishedVersion
