Em 1961, o assalto ao Santa Maria, a eclosão da guerra em Angola e a queda do Estado Português da Índia fizeram as primeiras páginas da imprensa mundial durante sema nas a fio. Portugal e o regime do Estado Novo passaram a ser assiduamente notícia nos jornais estrangeiros. E contra a vontade de Salazar, o regime viu-se sujeito às constrições de uma sociedade dos media de massa e da sua capacidade de influência nos processos de simbolização e da formação de correntes de opinião. Assumindo que a imprensa é um ator político de primeiro plano na constituição do mundo social, cultural e político, este livro conduz-nos por um estudo de um amplo acervo de artigos saídos nos jornais portugueses, britânicos e franceses ao longo do annus horribilis de 1961, atento aos símbolos, à linguagem, à comunicação de massa, ao condicionamento psicológico, à diplomacia mediática e à guerra. Através de uma abordagem que combina a Sociolo gia, a História, as Ciências da Comunicação, os Estudos de Media e das Relações Internacionais, a autora examina as lu tas políticas travadas pelo regime e contra o regime, num qua dro internacional marcado por dinâmicas de descolonização e pela guerra fria. Privilegiando sempre a ação da imprensa na história política e a história política impelida pela força produtiva da imprensa.

An alternative to the education policy in Brasil: School accountability. This paper examines the school accountability (SA) policies adopted in the US. Significant impacts on the quality of education occur when the SA incorporates a set of sanctions and rewards to schools based on their students' performance. In comparison with other policies, it is also more efficient. Potential problems of adopting the SA (bias toward cognitive ability, gaming and difficulty in measuring the school contribution) can be overcome. The analysis suggests that the SA should be considered as an alternative to improve the quality of education in Brazil. (Rev Econ Polit/GIGA)

The European Commission's role seems to have declined in the past few years. However, the autonomy & the influence of the European Commission cannot be properly evaluated by classical integration theories. New European studies are establishing new theoretical models & new conceptual frameworks to correct biases that may result from a statocentric analysis. Integration studies are being replaced by governance studies. This change in focus allows for more pertinent evaluation of the relative weight of European institutions, lamely the European Commission, consolidating its central position in he communitarian system.

In this paper, Charles Mills discusses what he calls "white ignorance", developing one of the main themes of his 1997 book, 'The Racial Contract'. His discussion is concerned with the idea of a cognitive disadvantage based on membership in a social group, which is not strange to the radical philosophical tradition, and that has been explored with more vigor in the recent Social Epistemology, in debates about epistemic injustices, silencing, willful ignorance, cognitive biases, epistemological standpoints, etc. Mills argues for an "Epistemology of the white ignorance", a racially and socially situated epistemology, which contraposes itself, in a great extent, to the individualistic tendencies of the traditional epistemological work, while conserving the interests in objectivity and truth of this work.

Este artigo apresenta as principais teses do pensador Roberto Mangabeira Unger relacionadas a uma interpretação dos novos parâmetros da democracia ocidental, das insti­tuições e da sociedade brasileira como um todo. Também desenvolve um diálogo com o autor, questionando alguns dos seus fundamentos. Mangabeira, ao pretender requalificar o de­bate sobre a democracia, a partir da adoção de novas alternativas institucionais, coloca-se num viés experimentalista. Utilizando-se de pressupostos marxistas numa mistura com pressupostos schumpeterianos, este autor é qualificado, nas palavras de Anderson (1992), como: "um profeta do primeiro mundo, a partir de uma abordagem filosófica do terceiro mun­do". É nesse sentido que compreender suas teo­rias e dialogar/discordar tornam-se objetivos chaves deste trabalho. ; This pa­per discusses the importance of Roberto Man­gabeira Unger's ideas, since he establishes new parameters for the occidental democracy, the institutions and the Brazilian society as a who­le. His theory, by attempting to re-qualify the debate on democracy from the adoption of new institutional alternatives, expresses an expe­rimentalist bias. Using Marxist assumptions with schumpeterian assumptions, the author is considered, in Anderson's (1992) words, as: "a prophet of the first world, from a philosophi­cal approach of the third world". In this way, understanding his theories and dialoguing/ disagreeing become key objectives of this work. ; This pa­per discusses the importance of Roberto Man­gabeira Unger's ideas, since he establishes new parameters for the occidental democracy, the institutions and the Brazilian society as a who­le.

In developing his materialist conception of history, Marx creates, at the same time, a critique to the Hegelian thought next to a critique of political economy. Those critiques are mainly concentrate in his works written throughout his youth, in particular 'The Misery of Philosophy'. Based on this work of Marx, the present paper aims to discourse on the metaphysics of political economy, whose critique is directed mainly to Proudhon responding to the work 'Philosophy of Misery', in which Proudhon tries to provide, in a metaphysical bias, the bases for the social problems, applying the Hegelian dialectic to the method of political economy. For Marx, the Proudhonist ideology, which is expressed in that work, is totally reformist and utopian. In contrast to the Proudhonist thought, and explaining simultaneously the foundations that constitute the theory of social being, which is woven by the capitalist mode of production, Marx publishes in 1847 his work 'The Misery of Philosophy' in response to Proudhon's 'Philosophy of Misery'.

With the words written here, we have the desire to reflect on what is Law, the so-called "Juridical Science". Observing that in the world "legal reason is posited as a reason without a body, or, if we wish as a narcissistic reason, insofar as it is the mirror-object body of itself" (SATIE, 2010, 637), our view of the Law has here a critical philosophical-sociological bias. We criticize the Law based on comments about what we believe to be the two main typologies of men that currently exist in our social environment: the "law man" and the "man of law." This is the legal professional and that is the common man, the one who declares himself faithful to obey the laws. The results of the bibliographical research on the subject reveal that the Law is not well the Science fomenting social peace, but only another ideological instrument responsible for controlling people, with the discriminating of being a state element, cogent, obligatory for all.
