Resumo: Com o final da Guerra fria, e com o processo da globalização manifestam-se profundas mudanças no mundo ocidental que vêm definindo novas estratégias políticas. No plano da segurança a nova agenda concentra-se nos problemas interestatais, entre os que se destaca o narcotráfico. Na procura de alternativas de solução na região andina, se deu a XV Reunião do Conselho Presidencial Andino (Quito, Julho 2004) onde foram aprovadas as linhas gerais da segurança externa comum, autorizando a prevenção e o enfrentamento de ameaças à segurança. O combate ao problema do narcotráfico se da mediante as Políticas Antidrogas direcionadas pelos Estados Unidos, centradas na redução da produção de pasta básica de cocaína, nos países produtores, Colômbia, Peru e Bolívia. Os programas com esse intuito são o Plano Colômbia, e a Iniciativa Regional Andina. Ditas estratégias poderiam pôr em ameaça a segurança desses países. É assim que o objetivo da pesquisa é mostrar um panorama sobre os impactos das políticas antidrogas na segurança dos países andinos no plano econômico, social e político e aprofundar no caso peruano, como è tratado o problema coca-cocaína no congresso e os possíveis interesses trás a continuidade da atual política antidroga. Considera-se relevante promover a avaliação de novas estratégias antidrogas que se ajustem ao conceito de segurança da região e a sua realidade. Usa-se a metodologia de análise documentaria de relatórios mundiais de instituições que combatem o narcotráfico, discursos de representantes dos agricultores cocaleros, e os projetos leis apresentados no congresso peruano, á vez que textos de autores especialistas entre outros

Texte intégralEste trabalho problematiza um tipo específico de racionalidade que emergiu nos fins do século XIX e avançou no século XX, implicando na constituição de uma política mundial destinada à regulamentação de determinadas substâncias psicoativas. Tais práticas foram possíveis em virtude de uma produção discursiva cujos enunciados médico-sanitários reivindicavam a intervenção dos Estados Nacionais em assegurar a saúde coletiva. No caso do uso de psicoativos, tais discursos fizeram emergir uma série de tratados internacionais, leis nacionais, normas e regulações que modificaram o comércio e os hábitos de consumo de tais substâncias, criminalizando qualquer uso que não estivesse de acordo com a legislação vigente. O recorte que esta dissertação procura fazer tem por foco analisar como esse processo se deu no Brasil, mais especificamente a partir da criação da Comissão Nacional de Fiscalização de Entorpecentes CNFE, organização esta de caráter governamental, que após sua criação passou a centralizar as políticas sociais sobre drogas no país. A CNFE foi constituída por meio do Decreto-Lei n 780em 28 de abril de 1936, vinculada ao Ministério das Relações Exteriores em conjunto com o Departamento Nacional de Saúde, através do Serviço de Fiscalização do Exercício Profissional. Neste caso, utilizando a documentação encontrada no Arquivo Histórico do Itamaraty, na Biblioteca de Saúde Pública da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, Centro de Pesquisa e Documentação da Fundação Getúlio Vargas, dentre outras. Procurei delimitar esta pesquisa nos primeiros dez anos de atuação da Comissão, isto é, entre 1936 e 1946, para tanto, utilizo como instrumento de análise teórico-metodológico duas noções que serviram às reflexões do pensador francês Michel Foucault; biopolítica e governamentalidade. Desta forma, procuro acionar tais noções para localizar as estratégias de poder que culminaram na governamentalização do Estado voltadas para a gestão da vida das populações, tendo como pano de fundo os interditos das políticas sociais sobre drogas.
This research aims to put in doubt a specific sort of rationality that began and made progress between the end of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, implying a world-wide policy for some psychoactive substances regulation. That was possible due to discursive production composed by medical and sanitary statements that claimed the action of National States in order to ensure collective health. In terms of psychoactive drugs, that discourse has resulted in a series of international treaties, national laws, rules and regulations that changed the sale and use of those substances and criminalized any use that was not according to the current legislation. At this point, the dissertation focus on the study of this process in Brazil, more specifically from the creation of ComissãoNacional de Fiscalização de Entorpecentes CNFE (National Narcotic Control Commission), a governmental organization that concentrates social policies about drugs in the country. CNFE was set up by decree law 780 on April 28, 1936, linked to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs together with National Department of Health, through Professional Exercise Supervision Service. In this case, using documents found in Itamaraty Historical Archives, in Public Health Library of Oswaldo Cruz Foundation and in Center for Research and Documentation of Getulio Vargas Foundation , among others, I have attempted to focus this research in the first ten years following the Commission creation, between 1936 and 1946. Therefore, I have used, as theoretical and methodological analysis tool, two concepts that helped French philosopher Michel Foulcault thoughts; biopolitics and governmentality. Thus, I try to use those concepts in order to find the power strategies that have led up to the Governmentalization of the State and have been directed to the management of peoples life, all this against the background of interdiction from social policies about drugs.

Resumo: Poucos estudos vem sendo reportados com uso da metadona em pequenos animais. Neste estudo os efeitos sedativos, cardiorrespiratórios e comportamentais da metadona e da morfina foram comparados em seis cães conscientes sem raça definida. No dia do estudo, os cães (16,4 ± 2,8 kg) foram instrumentados para monitorização hemodinâmica com isoflurano, e após 60 minutos do término da anestesia inalatória foi iniciada a coleta de dados. Morfina, (1 mg/kg) ou duas doses de metadona (0,5 mg/kg [MET0,5] ou 1,0 mg/kg [MET1]) foram administradas pela via intravenosa durante um minuto em um delineamento aleatório cruzado, aguardando-se um intervalo mínimo de 1 semana entre cada tratamento. As variáveis foram registradas antes (basal) e por 120 minutos após a administração dos fármacos, adotando como nível de significância p< 0,05. Devido a um marcado aumento (356%) do índice de resistência vascular sistêmica (dinas•seg/cm5/m2) após cinco minutos da administração de morfina, um animal apresentou resultado positivo para o teste de detecção de outlier (teste de Grubb) não sendo incluso na análise estatística das variáveis hemodinâmicas. Não houve diferença entre os tratamentos nos parâmetros basais. A morfina reduziu a FC (bpm), comparado aos valores basais, dos 30-120 minutos (valores mínimos: 86±11 aos 120 minutos), contudo o IC (L/min/m2) reduziu-se aos 120 minutos (4,40±1,07). Comparado com a com a morfina, MET 1 causou maior e mais prolongada redução destes parâmetros (valores mínimos: 63±16 e 2,95±1,06 para FC e IC respectivamente); reducões intermediárias foram observadas com MET 0,5 (valores mínimos: 78±9 e 3,72±0,81 para FC e IC respectivamente). O IRVS aumentou apenas após a administração de metadona, sendo a MET 1 produziu maior aumento que MET 0,5 (valores máximos: 3192±882 e 2178±588 para MET 1 e MET 0,5 respectivamente) A morfina aumento a POAP (mmHg) após cinco minutos (12±4) enquanto ...
Abstract: Few controlled studies have been reported on the use methadone in small animals. In this study, the cardio-respiratory effects of methadone and morphine were compared in six conscious mongrel dogs. On the study day, the dogs (16.4±2.8 kg) were instrumented for hemodynamic monitoring under isoflurane anesthesia, allowing at least 60 min from termination of inhalant anesthesia before commencing data collection. Morphine (1 mg/kg) or two different doses of methadone (0.5 mg/kg [MET0.5] or 1.0 mg/kg [MET1]) were administered intravenously over 1 min in a randomized crossover design (minimum washout period: 1-week). Variables were recorded before (baseline), and for 120 min after drug administration. A split plot design model compared cardiopulmonary data (mean±SD) (p<0.05). Because of marked increases in SVRI (dynes•seg/cm5/m2) after morphine (353% increase from baseline at 5 min, one animal tested positive for an outlier detection test (Grubbs' test) and was not included in the statistical analysis for hemodynamic data. Baseline variables did not differ among treatments. Morphine reduced HR (beats/min) compared to baseline from 30-120 min (lowest value: 8611 at 120 min), while CI (L/min/m2) was reduced from baseline at 120 min (4.40±1.07). Compared to morphine, MET1 caused greater and more prolonged reductions in these parameters (lowest values: 63±16 and 2.95±1.06 for HR and CI, respectively), while intermediate reductions in HR and CI were observed after MET0.5 (lowest values: 78±9 and 3.72±0.81 for HR and CI, respectively). The SVRI was increased after methadone only, with MET1 producing a higher SVRI than MET0.5 (highest values: 3192±882 and 2178±588 for MET1 and MET0.5, respectively). Morphine increased PAOP (mm Hg) from baseline at 5 min (12±4), while this parameter remained increased from baseline for 90 and 120 min after MET0.5 (maximum increase: 163) and MET1.0 (maximum increase: 173), respectively.

Resumo: O tráfico internacional de drogas é uma das principais ameaças de segurança para os países da América do Sul, em especial o Brasil e a Bolívia. O país andino é o terceiro maior produtor mundial de cocaína e o território brasileiro se constitui como uma das principais rotas de trânsito para as drogas enviadas à Europa, bem como, é considerado o principal mercado consumidor para a cocaína boliviana. Na literatura ainda são poucos os trabalhos que abordam a relação entre os dois países no que concerne essa temática. Assim, o objetivo central desta pesquisa foi analisar o tipo de cooperação desenvolvida entre o Brasil e a Bolívia para o policiamento do combate ao tráfico de drogas. Nosso período de análise foi desde novembro de 2008, quando, após décadas de influência e ingerência norte-americana nas políticas antidrogas da Bolívia, a Drug Enforcement Admnistration (DEA) foi expulsa do território boliviano, o que gerou uma aproximação entre os governos brasileiro e boliviano, até o final de janeiro de 2012, quando foi estabelecido um acordo trilateral entre Bolívia, Brasil e Estados Unidos. Acordo que marcou o retorno da parceria entre o país andino e a superpotência, no que se refere o combate ao tráfico de drogas. Trabalhamos na pesquisa com o conceito de cooperação para o policiamento, pois observamos as operações realizadas não são somente pelas agências policiais, mas, inclusive, aquelas desenvolvidas entre as Forças Armadas.

Abstract: International drug trafficking is one of the main security threats to the countries of South America, especially Brazil and Bolivia. The Andean country is the third largest cocaine producer in the world and the Brazilian territory is one of the main transit routes for drugs sent to Europe, as well as being considered the main consumer market for Bolivian cocaine. In the literature there are still few studies that deal with the relationship between the two countries concerning this issue. So, the main objective of this research was to analyze the type of cooperation developed between Brazil and Bolivia for policing the fight against drug trafficking. Our period of analysis has been since November 2008, when, after decades of US influence and interference in Bolivia's anti-drug policies, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) was expelled from Bolivian territory, which led to an approximation between the Brazilian and Bolivian governments, until the end of January 2012, when a trilateral agreement was signed between Bolivia, Brazil and the United States. This agreement marked the return of the partnership between the Andean country and the superpower, as it relates to combating drug trafficking. We work in the research with the concept of cooperation for policing, because we observe the operations carried out not only by the police agencies, but also those developed among the Armed Forces. We analyzed some issues in the policing process, such as the expansion of actors involved in drug control and repression activities, their autonomy in the development of cooperation and the asymmetry of power between the bilateral relationship, which have helped our central objective. We concluded that, unlike Bolivia-US cooperation, Brazil and Bolivia established, over the years 2008-2012, a bilateral cooperation for policing, with respect for territorial sovereignty and respect of each country's anti-drug policies.

Till today (2012), Taiwan is still endangered by narcotic drugs, from opium, heroin, and amphetamines in earlier years to ecstasy, ketamine, and other emerging drugs in recent years. Due to their widespread in the Taiwanese society, in order to reduce the internal problem of drug abuse that has surfaced in Taiwan, drug-related hazard control has become the issue the relevant authorities have to face. In this study, with the policy and mechanism of narcotics hazard control as the basis, the document analysis method was adopted to explore the development of Taiwan’s drug prevention and the current implementation of the existing laws and regulations, as well as the condition of drug related crimes, with the hope of finding the most suitable drug prevention method,thereby effectively reducing the endangerment of drugs to our country. Through data collection and compilation, it was found that Taiwan’s overall anti-drug strategic goals have failed to combine the core of the policies and legal norms. On the other hand, despite the local units’ implementation of multiple anti-drug mechanisms over the past decades, the central government did not assign people in charge of drug clearance, nor did it set up special drug prevention units. On top of that, the implementation of the related policies failed to significantly reduce the dangers of drugs. Therefore, the purpose of the development of drug control policies and mechanisms is to reduce the endangerment of drugs to our country, while the integrity of the policies and the degree of implementation of the related mechanisms rely on whether or not the ruling party takes the severity of drug endangerment seriously. Only by engaging in compressive thinking of how to develop drug prevention policies and mechanisms and specific implementation can Taiwan be transformed into a “drug-free homeland.

Texte intégralThe trafficking of illegal narcotics on the African continent and into West Africa has resulted in human insecurity and state insecurity in the region. Furthermore, it has helped facilitate shadow economies such as the illegal trade in fire arms and human trafficking within the region deteriorating law and order, judicial enforcement, and political institutions in these countries. The West African region serves as a transit point in the distribution of narcotics to Europe from Latin America and has increasingly become a destination in drug trafficking. Various national, regional, and international strategies have been undertaken in combating this perceived scourge. The African Union, European Union, United Nations, and West African states themselves have all provided frameworks in combating drug trafficking in Africa. Despite these various strategies drug trafficking still thrives in West Africa. This thesis will assess one of these strategies that being the West African Coast Initiative (WACI). This thesis attempts to outline the various reasons for the growing importance of West Africa in the regional and international drug trade whilst assessing the impact WACI has had in dealing with the drug trade in West Africa. The reason the paper seeks to assess the effectiveness of the West African Coast Initiative is to highlight the obstacles and challenges the strategy has faced over the last eight years of its existence, to make recommendations in this regard, and to identify specific shortcomings in African institutional efforts in engaging with threats that exist outside the state

Texte intégralAo longo das últimas décadas, os mecanismos do Governo Societário têm sido utilizados como método para alcançar vantagens competitivas face ao crescente dinamismo dos mercados. Assim, definiu-se como principal objetivo descrever de que forma os diversos mecanismos de controlo societário, influenciam o desempenho das empresas de cinco países Europeus, integradas nos principais índices da Euronext e também ao principal índice espanhol (IBEX35), no ano de 2014. Esta investigação tem ainda como objetivos caracterizar os mecanismos de controlo societário e o seu impacto no desempenho empresarial. Para concretizar estes objetivos recorre-se, em primeiro lugar, à análise descritiva e, posteriormente, á análise de regressão linear múltipla. O desempenho empresarial apresenta uma relação negativa com a Dimensão do Conselho de Administração, com a Dualidade do CEO e com a Concentração do Direito de Voto. Contrariamente, a relação é positiva com a Independência do Conselho de Administração e com a Presença de Mulheres no Conselho de Administração. Não apresenta correlações estatisticamente significativas com a Qualidade do Auditor. É ainda de sublinhar que quando a amostra é dividida em dois grupos de países diferentes, as variáveis Turnover, Market Value, Tamanho do Conselho de Administração, Dualidade do CEO e Presença de Mulheres no Conselho de Administração, não convergem.
Over the last decades, Corporate Governance (CG) mechanisms have been used as key companies’ drivers towards competitive advantages achievements, in the scope of increasingly complex and dynamic markets. Thus, this research aims to identify whether different corporate control mechanisms impact on performance and profitability of the companies listed in five European exchange markets, in particular the Euronext and the main Spanish Index (IBEX 35), for the economic year 2014. Furthermore, it also aims to describe those corporate control mechanisms, associating them with businesses’ performance. In order to achieve those goals, it was followed, in a first step, a descriptive analysis and, afterwards, the use of multiple linear regressions. Broadly, businesses’ performance evidences a negative correlation with the size of the Board of Directors, with the Duality of CEO, and with the Voting Rights Concentration. In contrast, the relationship is positive when we consider the Independence of the Board and the proportion of Women's in the Board of Directors. Within this research, we didn´t find a statistically significant correlation between performance and the independent variable Auditor Quality. It is also relevant to underline that when the sample is split into two different groups of countries, the distribution of Turnover, Market Value, Board Size, CEO Duality, and Women's Presence on the Board, is not convergent.
