A autora reconstitui e analisa a atuacao dos deputados brasileiros nas Cortes constituintes portuguesas de 1821 e 1822, a partir da leitura dos "Diarios" daquelas Cortes. Alem das divergencias acerca da configuracao politico administrativa do estado luso-brasileiro entre deputados de Portugal e do Brasil, examina-se a diversidade de alinhamentos e propostas entre estes ultimos, ao representarem os interesses de suas respectivas provincias. Enfatiza-se a utilizacao do conceito de nacao nos debates constituintes em face da crise do imperio portugues, as vesperas da independencia brasileira. (Novos Estud CEBRAP/DÜI)

A promulgacao, em 22 de julho de 1997, da lei no. 9.474 que, entre outras coisas, "define mecanismos para a implementacao do estatuto dos refugiados de 1951", constitui um marco na protecao aos refugiados no Brasil. Para que se possa dimensionar sua importancia, parece oportuno proceder a uma revisao sobre a questao. Para tanto, cumpre antes tracar em linhas gerais, a evolucao da protecao internacional aos refugiados em nivel mundial e regional, bem como a diferenca entre os institutos do asilo e do refugio, para entao rever a posicao brasileira na materia.

This is an intellectual self-profile. The author starts identifying the political and theoretical influences he had, as a young man, from his family, and from intellectuals as Marx, Weber and Keynes, abroad, and from Furtado and Rangel, in Brazil. He divides his contributions in historical and theoretical. The historical analyses are, on their turn, subdivided in those dealing specifically with Brazil and Latin America and others referring to changes in contemporary world economy and society. In the conclusion, the author makes a general evaluation of the work done, which involves also a research program for the future. (Rev Econ Polit/DÜI)

This paper has a double purpose. First, the author intends to discuss what is in game when the public social security is changed for private systems based on individual savings.

This paper deals with some aspects of the Brazilian agricultural development in the last decade. The growth rate differentials between agriculture and industry in the 1980s is first analysed. According to the author, the kind of structural adjustment the Brazilian economy has faced during that period has favored agriculture to grow faster than the industrial sector. Furthermore it is argued that there has been an important additional incentive to agriculture, due to a huge reduction in the agricultural production costs. (Rev Econ Polit/DÜI)
