Title: A dimensão regional dos recursos minerais no Afeganistão: atores-chave e o papel do país no Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) Abstract: This dissertation analyzes the exploitation and governance of mineral resources in Afghanistan in light of contemporary geopolitical dynamics and the theories of Uneven and Combined Development and the Resource Curse. Although the country has vast reserves of strategic minerals, such as lithium, copper, iron, and rare earths, which are essential for the global energy transition, the research shows that this potential does not translate into sustainable development. On the contrary, mineral exploitation has reproduced historical patterns of dependence, institutional fragility, and socio-environmental inequality. Methodologically, the study adopts a qualitative approach based on documentary analysis of international agreements, reports from multilateral organizations, and data from institutions such as the USGS, World Bank, and EITI, complemented by semi-structured interviews with experts from the Afghan mineral sector. The triangulation between documentary and empirical sources highlights how the actions of external powers, especially China, Russia, and the United States, shape Afghanistan's subordinate insertion into global value chains. It is concluded that only institutional strengthening, combined with transparency, community inclusion, and economic diversification, can transform Afghanistan's mineral wealth into a vector for sustainable development and economic sovereignty.

Title: Relatos de hisaeng (sacrifício): o corpo como articulador afetivo e intergeracional da agência política das mulheres zainichi Abstract: Zainichi refers to Koreans residing in Japan, a term used to describe those who migrated during the colonial period (1910–1945) and their descendants. Within this diaspora, young Korean women left their homeland and faced harsh living conditions shaped by colonialism, war, ethnic discrimination, and gender-based violence. Despite these overlapping structures of power, zainichi women found openings to act, collectively producing alternative forms of agency that ensured the material and subjective continuity of subsequent generations. This study aims to identify such forms of agency through a theoretical framework informed by scholars such as Judith Butler, Saba Mahmood, Mari Luz Esteban, Sara Ahmed, and Cecilia Macón, who foreground the role of the body and affects in everyday socio-political processes. The research engages with post-structuralist feminism, the sociology of affects, and feminist anthropology, proposing an approach that recognizes the complexity of lives situated at the margins of International Relations, in contrast to the binary, liberal, and Western assumptions that shape the field. The analysis is based on Jackie J. Kim-Wachutka’s ethnographic research, interpreted through Esteban’s methodology of bodily itineraries and affect theory. The central hypothesis is that the suffering and sacrifice of first-generation women resignified zainichi female subjectivity in affective and discursive ways, shaping subsequent generations collectively. This process articulated an intergenerational affective body capable of enacting different forms of agency, whether subversive or not, within national and transnational power structures. By highlighting forms of agency often overlooked by approaches centered on rationality and institutional action, this research contributes to expanding understandings of political participation and social transformation in contexts marked by gender inequality, migration, and violence. In doing so, it engages critically with contemporary agendas on gender equity and the recognition of marginalized experiences.

Title: Uma análise empírica-estrutural dos regimes de crescimento wage-led ou profit-led para o brasil entre 1947 e 2021, pela perspectiva pós-kaleckiana Abstract: This dissertation empirically analyzes, from a post-Kaleckian perspective, the growth regimes of the Brazilian economy between 1947 and 2021, seeking to classify them as wage-led or profit-led. Using a structural approach, the study separately estimates the impact of functional income distribution on consumption, investment, and the external sector. The results reveal heterogeneity: consumption responds positively to increases in the wage share (wage-led), while investment reacts negatively (profit-led). The effect on net exports is ambiguous but tends to be profit-led. The aggregate analysis indicates that the growth regime is sensitive to the econometric specification, potentially being classified as wage-led in the long run and profit-led in the short run. The work concludes that redistributive policies face a trade-off between stimulating consumption and discouraging investment.
