  • An Analysis of the Evolution of Socioeconomic Inequality in Brazilian States Since 1976 †
    sustainability Article Through the Irregular Paths of Inequality: An Analysis of the Evolution of Socioeconomic Inequality in Brazilian States Since 1976 † Paulo Mourao 1,* and Alexandre Junqueira 2 1 School of Management and Economics & NIPE, Minho University, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal 2 School of Management and Economics, Minho University, 4710-57 Braga, Portugal; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † Authors acknowledge the contribution of two anonymous reviewers on a previous version of this research. Remaining limitations are authors’ exclusive ones. Abstract: Patterns of inequality tend to seriously undermine any attempt at economic growth policy when the inequality is perceived by significant groups of individuals as unjust, inhuman, and insurmountable. One country with a high degree of inequality has been Brazil (usually in the world top-10). Brazil had also witnessed strong dynamics of certain indicators, such as the Gini coefficient, over the last several decades. However, so far, such dynamics have not been properly analyzed, especially considering the significant differences across Brazilian states. For filling that gap, this study used econometric techniques specific to time series and tried to identify structural breaks in the series of Gini coefficients for the 27 Brazilian states since 1976. Results showed a tendency towards an increase in inequality until 1995, followed by a reduction in inequality since 2000. Some cases of Brazilian states were related to the absence of structural breaks, showing a maintenance of historical trends in the evolution of inequality, which raises important policies’ challenges.

(May 2008) Bradley Melton, B.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Philip Rabinowitz Extensional stresses caused Africa and South America to break up about 130 Million Years. When Africa rifted away from South America, a large onshore triple junction began at about 13° S and propagated northward. This triple junction failed and created the Reconcavo-Tucano-Jupato rift (R-T-J), located in northeastern Brazil (north of Salvador). The extensional stress that created this rift was caused by a change in the force acting on the plate during the Aptian. A series of offshore rifts also opened at this time, adjacent to the R-T-J rift; this series of basins are referred to as Jacuipe, Sergipe, and Alagoas (J-S-A). The basins are separated by bathymetric highs to the north and the south of the Sergipe-Alagoas basin.

  • In Search of the Amazon: Brazil, the United States, and the Nature of A
    IN SEARCH OF THE AMAZON AMERICAN ENCOUNTERS/GLOBAL INTERACTIONS A series edited by Gilbert M. Joseph and Emily S. Rosenberg This series aims to stimulate critical perspectives and fresh interpretive frameworks for scholarship on the history of the imposing global pres- ence of the United States. Its primary concerns include the deployment and contestation of power, the construction and deconstruction of cul- tural and political borders, the fluid meanings of intercultural encoun- ters, and the complex interplay between the global and the local. American Encounters seeks to strengthen dialogue and collaboration between histo- rians of U.S. international relations and area studies specialists. The series encourages scholarship based on multiarchival historical research. At the same time, it supports a recognition of the represen- tational character of all stories about the past and promotes critical in- quiry into issues of subjectivity and narrative. In the process, American Encounters strives to understand the context in which meanings related to nations, cultures, and political economy are continually produced, chal- lenged, and reshaped.

  • Chapter 3 the North- Lost in the Amazon
    BRAZIL Chapter 3 The North- Lost in the Amazon Have you ever heard about Amazon rainforest? Let us learn together! The equatorial North, also known as the Amazon or Amazônia, is Brazil's largest region with total landmass of 3,869,638 square kilometers, covering 45.3 percent of the national territory. Way too big and enormous!! It is also the least inhabited part of the country. 31 BRAZIL The region has the largest rainforest of the world and is called Amazon. The word Amazon refers to the women warriors who once fought in inter-tribe in ancient times in this region of today's North Region of Brazil. It is also the name of one of the major river that passes through Brazil and flows eastward into South Atlantic. This river is also the largest of the world in terms of water carried in it. There are also numerous other rivers in the area. It is one fifth of all the earth's fresh water reserves. There are two main Amazonian cities: Manaus, capital of the State of Amazonas, and Belém, capital of the State of Pará. 32 BRAZIL Over half of the Amazon rainforest( more than 60 per cent) is located in Brazil but it is also located in other South American countries including Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia, Guyana, Bolivia, Suriname and French Guiana. The Amazon is home to around two and a half million different insect species as well as over 40000 plant species. There are also a number of dangerous species living in the Amazon rainforest such as the “Onça Pintada” (Brazilian Puma) and anaconda.

    Sanae Hayashi; Carlos Souza Jr.; Márcio Sales & Adalberto Veríssimo (Imazon) ABSTRACT In September 2010, SAD detected 170 square kilometers of deforestation in Legal Amazon. This represented a 21% reduction in relation to September 2009 when the deforestation reached 216 square kilometers. The accumulated deforestation from August 2010 to September 2010 has totalized 380 square kilometers. Comparing with the previous period from August 2009 to September 2009 when the deforestation reached 489 square kilometers there was a reduction of 22%. In September 2010 approximately 48% of deforestation occurred in Mato Grosso. The rest occurred in (18%) followed by Rondônia (14%), Amazonas (11%), Acre (7%), Roraima (1%) and Tocantins (1%). The accumulated deforestation from August 2010 to September 2010 resulted in a commitment of 6 million tons of C02 equivalents, which are subject to direct and future emissions by burning and decomposition. It represents a reduction of 25% in relation to the previous period (August 2009 to September 2009) when forest carbon affected by deforestation was about 29 million tons of C02 equivalent. The degraded forests in Legal Amazon totaled 500 square kilometers in September 2010. Comparing with the previous period of September 2009 there was an increase of 141% when the forest degradation totaled 202 square kilometers. The Forest degradation occurred especially in Mato Grosso (85%). The forest degradation accumulated from August 2010 to September 2010 totaled 2.055 square kilometers. It represented an extremely expressive increase (213%) comparing with the previous period (August 2009 to September 2009) when the forest degradation totaled 657 square kilometers. In September 2010, it was possible to monitor with SAD 83% of the area with forest coverage in Legal Amazon.

Situated in Brazil’s Amazon region, the State has shown high commitment and leadership for low-deforestation devel- opment.
