With the Cold War over, a lasting new world order seemed to establish itself,under the hegemony of a single planetary superpower. Within a short span oftime, this order showed itself to be rather precarious, despite the recurringaffirmations of American politico-military supremacy. The new socialstruggles have had a decisive role in producing and giving visibility to thiscrisis of hegemony. To what extent have their advances been compromised bythe political impact of the September 11, 2001 attacks? To put in another way,is the new conjuncture favorable to the recomposition of American hegemony? The present article is an attempt to contribution to the study ofthe nexus between social struggles and international relations in this turbulent beginning of the millennium. ; Encerrada a Guerra-Fria, pareceu se instalar uma duradoura nova ordem mundial sob ahegemonia da única superpotência planetária. Em pouco tempo, este ordenamento serevelou bastante precário, apesar da recorrente afirmação de supremacia políticomilitarnorte-americana. As novas lutas sociais desempenharam papel decisivo para aprodução e visibilidade desta crise de hegemonia. Em que medida, seus avançosficaram comprometidos pelos impactos políticos dos atentados de 11 de setembro de2001? Inversamente, a nova conjuntura é favorável à recomposição da hegemonianorte-americana? O presente artigo é um esboço de contribuição para o exame dosnexos entre lutas sociais e relações internacionais neste turbulento início de milênio.
Em meados de 1973, surgiu, no interior das Forças Armadas portuguesas, o Movimento dos Capitães, cujos objetivos eram, no início, apenas sócio-profissionais. Com aRevolução de 25 de abril de 1974, chefiada pelo agora chamado MFA - Movimento dasForças Armadas -, ocorreu a divisão em três correntes.Os oficiais moderados, mais próximos dos socialistas eram, simbolicamente, liderados pelo grupo dos nove (entre eles, o mentor intelectual do programa do MFA, major Melo Antunes). Os "gonçalvistas" defendiam o aprofundamento da revolução numa linha terceiro-mundista ou das chamadas "democracias populares" do Leste Europeu e contaram, por algum tempo, com o apoio dos Partido Comunista Português e do Primeiro-Ministro, coronel Vasco Gonçalves. A terceira vertente do MFA era a dos "copconistas" (do COPCON, Comando Operacional do Continente), liderados por Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho, cuja entrevista, de importância histórico-política inestimável, Lutas Sociais tem a satisfação de publicar. ; In mid-1973 the Captains' Movement arose within the Portuguese ArmedvForces. Its objectives were initially merely socio-professional. With the Revolution that occurred on April 25, 1974, led by the newly named Movement of the Armed Forces (MFA), there occurred a division of the movement into three currents. The moderate officers, closest to the socialists,were symbolically led by the group of nine (among them, the intellectual mentor of the MFA program, Maj. Melo Antunes). The "gonçalvistas"defended the deepening of the revolution in line with the thinking of the nona ligned movement or the so-called "popular democracies" of Eastern Europeand had the support, for a time, of the Portuguese Communist Party and thePrime Minister, Col. Vasco Gonçalves. The third current of the MFA was the"copconistas" (their name came from the Continental Operational Command,or COPCON), led by Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho. Lutas Sociais is proud topublish an interview with Saraiva de Carvalho, which is of inestimablehistorical importance.
O propósito deste artigo é repensar, nos marcos teóricos da crítica marxista, os problemas da crise de legitimidade das democracias burguesas, na América Latina nosanos 90, por conta do confronto que os movimentos sociais impõem ao Estado,enquanto representante dos interesses das classes dominantes e elemento fundamental no processo de acumulação de capital. ; The objective of this article is to rethink, from a Marxist theoretical perspective, the legitimacy crises of the bourgeois democracies of LatinAmerica in the 1990s, taking into consideration the confrontation that social movements impose upon the State, in its role as the representative of theinterests of the dominant classes and as a fundamental actor in the process of capital accumulation.
Os autores analisam as lutas sociais na Argentina a partir dos anos 90 até os recentesacontecimentos que derrubaram o governo Fernando De La Rua, em plena vigência doestado de sítio. Ao mesmo tempo sinalizam três etapas dessas lutas: 1993-1997 (augedas mobilizações populares); 1997-1998/9 (desaparecimento da unidade na luta dos trabalhadores); 1999-2001 (nova ascensão das lutas sociais). ; The authors analyze social struggles in Argentina from the 1990s up to the recent events that overthrew the government of Fernando De La Rua in the midst of an officially declared state of siege. They point to three phases ofstruggle: 1993-1997 (peak of popular mobilization); 1997-1998/9(disappearance of unity in worker struggles); 1999-2001 (new upsurge of social struggles).
O artigo problematiza criticamente o debate sobre o conceito de "terceiro setor", apartir não do que é chamado "terceiro setor", mas das reformas mais gerais operadassob a hegemonia do grande capital, particularmente o financeiro. Procura-secaracterizar a origem setorializadora desse termo que, de um lado, impede uma visãode totalidade e, portanto, deita por terra a perspectiva de transformação social; e, deoutro, determina sua clara funcionalidade ao projeto hegemônico de reestruturação docapital que, orientado nos postulados neoliberais, mistifica a sociedade civil, desarticulae apazigua as lutas sociais, além de propiciar maior aceitação à reforma do Estado,particularmente no que refere à Seguridade Social e à responsabilidade estatal naresposta à "questão social" como direito de cidadania. ; This article critically problematizes the debate on the concept of the "thirdsector," departing not from the fact that it is called the "third sector," butfrom the more general reforms undertaken under the hegemony of big capital,particularly financial capital. It tries to characterize the sectoralized origin ofthat term, which, on the one hand, impedes a vision of the totality and, as aresult, undercuts a socially transformative perspective and, on the other hand,determines its clear functionality for the hegemonic project of capitalrestructuring. This project, oriented by neoliberal postulates, mystifies civilsociety and disarticulates and pacifies social struggles, at the same time that itpromotes a greater acceptance of state reform, particularly with regard tosocial security and the state's responsibility to treat the "social question" as aright of citizenship.
Crítica teórico-política às formulações de Perry Anderson (janeiro,2000), em "Renewals", editorial de apresentação do novo formato de New Left Review. Opessimismo que emana do texto de Anderson expressa o atual momento de uma fração intelectual da "nova esquerda" anglo-saxônica, surgida nos anos 60. As análises que o próprio Anderson fez do processo de constituição, no entre-guerras, do "marxismo ocidental" são úteis para o exame da trajetória desta fração cujo principal porta-voz tem sido a própria New Left Review. ; This is a theoretical-political critique of Perry Anderson's arguments in"Renewals," an editorial in the introductory issue of the new version of theNew Left Review . The pessimism that emanates from the text expresses thecontemporary state of an intellectual current within the Anglo-Saxon "newleft," which arose in the 1960s. Anderson's own analyses of the process thatcreated "western Marxism" during the interwar period are useful for studyingthe trajectory of this current, whose principal exponent has been the New LeftReview .

El presente texto es una síntesis de ponencias e intervenciones que he realizado sobreel tema en los últimos tiempos, y como tal fue leída en el acto de apertura del VIEncuentro Latinoamericano de Revistas Marxistas celebrado en Montevideo enseptiembre del año 2000. Con ello, señalo la valorización del concepto de sociedad civilen la obra de Carlos Marx, donde la tesis del desaparecimiento del Estado coincide conla subsunción de las funciones políticas y administrativas por las organizacionespopulares de la sociedad. ; The present text is a synthesis of talks and comments that I have delivered onthis topic recently. It was presented at the opening ceremony of the SixthLatin American Meeting of Marxist Journals, held in Montevideo inSeptember 2000. I underscore the valorization of the concept of civil societyin Karl Marx's work. The disappearance of the State hypothesized by Marx isaccompanied by the assumption of political and administrative functions bythe popular organizations of society.
OBJETIVO: Descrever a distribuição da mortalidade por doenças do aparelho digestivo, geniturinário e do sistema nervoso, de acordo com a ocupação entre militares da Marinha do Brasil. MÉTODOS: Estudo exploratório da mortalidade proporcional conduzido com militares do sexo masculino lotados na Marinha do Brasil, que faleceram no período de 1991 a 1995. A população do estudo corresponde a todo o contingente da corporação nesse mesmo período. Os dados provêm de certidões de óbitos requeridas para concessão de pensões de dependentes e história ocupacional correspondente. As causas básicas de morte foram codificadas de acordo a Classificação Internacional de Doenças (9ª revisão). RESULTADOS: Militares apresentaram mortalidade proporcional aumentada para as doenças do fígado relacionadas com o consumo do álcool (razão de mortalidade proporcional ajustada (RMPaj=2,03; IC 95%: 1,26 3,00), pancreatite (RMPaj=2,03; IC 95%: 1,06 3,38), hemorragia digestiva (RMPaj=1,61; IC 95%: 1,10 2,23), doenças renais crônicas (RMPaj=2,82; IC 95%: 1,98 3,84), doença de Parkinson (RMPaj=3,00; IC 95%: 1,27 5,72) e degenerações cerebrais (RMPaj=2,88; IC 95%: 1,14 5,70) em relação a população de referência. Associação não estatisticamente significante foi observada entre operadores de radar (RMP=6,50; IC 95%: 1,43 29,56) e doenças do sistema nervoso. CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados indicam a existência de possíveis fatores de riscos ocupacionais no ambiente de trabalho da Marinha do Brasil, e a necessidade de estudos com medidas quantitativas de exposição. ; OBJECTIVE: To describe the distribution of mortality due to digestive tract, genitourinary and nervous system diseases according to occupation among Brazilian Navy servicemen. METHODS: This was an exploratory study of proportional mortality among male servicemen in the Brazilian Navy who died between 1991 and 1995. The study population comprises the entire contingent of servicemen during this same time period. Data were obtained from death certificates submitted in order to obtain dependents' pensions, and from the corresponding occupational histories of these individuals. Basic causes of death were coded in accordance with the International Classification of Diseases (9th Revision). RESULTS: Servicemen presented increased proportional mortality for liver diseases related to alcohol consumption (age-adjusted proportional mortality ratio, PMRadj =2.03; 95% confidence interval, CI: 1.26-3.00), pancreatitis (PMRadj=2.03; 95% CI: 1.06-3.38), digestive hemorrhage (PMRadj=1.61; 95% CI: 1.10-2.23), chronic kidney diseases (PMRadj=2.82; 95% CI: 1.98-3.84), Parkinson's disease (PMRadj=3.00; 95% CI: 1.27-5.72) and degenerative brain diseases (PMRadj=2.88; 95% CI: 1.14-5.70), in relation to the reference population. A statistically non-significant association was observed between radar operators (PMR=6.50; 95% CI: 1.43-29.56) and nervous system diseases was observed. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate the existence of possible occupational risk factors in the working environment of the Brazilian Navy, and the need for studies using quantitative measurement of such exposure.
