No ano em que se celebra o décimo quinto aniversário do programa de doutoramento em Política Internacional e Resolução de Conflitos (PIRC), este livro recolhe contributos dos/as nove primeiros/as doutores/as nele formados/as. Os ensaios agora publicados são sínteses das teses de doutoramento defendidas no programa e dão nota, por isso, do património de reflexão inicial construído neste contexto e que, desde então, tem vindo a ser acrescentado e aprofundado temática e metodologicamente. Através destes nove estudos, é partilhada com a comunidade de leitores uma leitura do mundo que tem a construção de uma paz multidimensional como seu foco e que exprime os caminhos percorridos nos primeiros quinze anos por este laboratório de debate e de reflexão que é o Doutoramento PIRC. Expressando a pluralidade de abordagens que é assumida por este programa doutoral, este conjunto de estudos adota ângulos diversos de abordagem da centralidade dessa paz exigente e multidimensional no sistema internacional contemporâneo.

Global news on anthropogenic climate change is shaped by international politics, scientific reports and voices from transnational protest movements. This timely volume asks how local communities engage with these transnational discourses.The chapters in this volume present a range of compelling case studies drawn from a broad cross-section of local communities around the world, reflecting diverse cultural and geographical contexts. From Greenland to northern Tanzania, it illuminates how different understandings evolve in diverse cultural and geographical contexts while also revealing some common patterns of how people make sense of climate change. Global Warming in Local Discourses constitutes a significant, new contribution to understanding the multi-perspectivity of our debates on climate change, further highlighting the need for interdisciplinary study within this area.It will be a valuable resource to those studying climate and science communication; those interested in understanding the various roles played by journalism, NGOs, politics and science in shaping public understandings of climate change, as well as those exploring the intersections of the global and the local in debates on the sustainable transformation of societies.

Structures and processes occurring within and between states are no longer the only – or even the most important - determinants of those political, economic and social developments and dynamics that shape the modern world. Many issues, including the environment, health, crime, drugs, migration and terrorism, can no longer be contained within national boundaries. As a result, it is not always possible to identify the loci for authority and legitimacy, and the role of governments has been called into question. Civil Society anf International Governance critically analyses the increasing impact of nongovernmental organisations and civil society on global and regional governance. Written from the standpoint of advocates of civil society and addressing the role of civil society in relation to the UN, the IMF, the G8 and the WTO, this volume assess the role of various non-state actors from three perspectives: theoretical aspects, civil society interaction with the European Union and civil society and regional governance outside Europe, specifically Africa, East Asia and the Middle East. It demonstrates that civil society’s role has been more complex than one defined in terms, essentially, of resistance and includes actual participation in governance as well as multi-facetted contributions to legitimising and democratising global and regional governance. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of political science, international relations, civil society, sociology, European politics and global governance. 1.
