Complex Hybrid Governance in the South American Borderlands
This article examines the role of grassroots actors in regions of violent conflict where competing governance systems exists. Specifically, it focuses on those living in the borderlands of South America, where alternative forms of governance may be created in response to violence between state and criminal organizations. In this context, how can grassroots actors overcome protracted armed violence and establish new, legitimate forms of social gov…

Shaping violences
This article examines the relationship between state formation, symbolic violence, and the blurring of public and private interests in Brazil. Drawing on a variety of sources–including academic literature, government reports, and media accounts–we use a historical approach to analyse how these factors have contributed to violence in Brazil, focusing on the case of the Northeast region. We argue that both symbolic violence and the problematisation…
Migrant Visibility, Agency, and Identity Work in Hospitality Enterprises

Drawing on empirical research conducted in São Paulo, Brazil, it explores how specific dishes, knowledge of food, recipes, craft skills, and migration histories are transformed into…
Exploring subjectivities of peace, violence, and power among the youth in Brazil
Brazil is one of the most violent countries in the world, and the vast majority of victims of lethal violence are under 30 years of age. Given this context, it seems important to understand what the perceptions and experiences of young people are regarding peace, violence, and power. This article does this through a study of the views of 153 high school students in nine public institutions in three municipalities. Engaging with the debates on the…
Ajuda Humanitária em Conflitos Armados
O presente artigo objetiva examinar como se configurou a Ajuda Humanitária em Aleppo no ano de 2016, no contexto da guerra civil síria. O conflito na Síria começou com manifestações pacíficas contra o governo de Bashar Al-Assad e transformou-se em uma Guerra Civil em 2011. Devido à grande presença da resistência ao regime de Bashar Al-Assad estar concentrada na cidade de Aleppo, os embates resultaram em uma séria crise humanitária, aspecto que é …
Violent Nonstate Actors and the Emergence of Hybrid Governance in South America
In several Latin American countries, social violence has risen to warlike levels. Nevertheless, little attention has been paid to the extent of social violence and the new (informal) forms of governance generated by the so-called violent nonstate actors (VNSAs). Where a state’s forces fail to provide for the physical protection and social security of its citizens, some areas are governed by a mix of formal (vertical) and informal (horizontal) for…
Refugiados e a Guerra Civil Síria

Em especial, também se traçam cenários para esse acolhimento a partir da realidade atual do conflito armado. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa fundamenta-se na triangulação de dados que combinam bibliografia especializada, documentos sobre o tema provenientes de organizações humanitárias e ACNUR, à luz da literatura de avalia…
Criminal governance and systems of parallel justice
Blockages to Peace Formation in Latin America
This article analyses how criminal governance creates blockages that prevent peace formation in Latin America. Two blockages emerge where criminal governance prevails: criminal structures do not reduce violence and also take advantage of cultural and structural violence; their legitimacy pushes the state away from citizens. Consequently, civil society usually responds in two ways: promoting alternative forms of political praxis against violence; …
Hybrid governance as a dynamic hub for violent non-state actors
This paper aims to expand the concept of hybrid governance and analyses the case of Rio Janeiro, where criminal control coexists with the state. This study addresses the following research question: is Rio de Janeiro an important case for expanding the concept of hybrid governance in peace and security studies? The results show that not only can it be considered a space of hybrid governance, but also a dynamic hub with constant violence outbreaks…

Do Non-State Actors Influence Climate Change Policy? Evidence from the Brazilian Nationally Determined Contributions for COP21
Participation in democratic regimes has been a central issue in foreign policy (FP) studies. This article seeks to contribute to the empirical discussion about FP participation through the analysis of the public consultation process conducted by the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs with non-state actors in the context of the preparations for the Paris Climate Agreement (2015). We employed automated text analysis using Python and R qualifying…
Atores não-estatais violentos transnacionais na América do Sul
Este artigo tem por objetivo descrever a evolução histórica e institucional de duas das principais organizações criminosas brasileiras, o Primeiro Comando da Capital e a Família do Norte.

Cooperação Militar contra o Crime Organizado
A ascensão do crime organizado transnacional ao patamar de ameaça à segurança internacional trouxe mudanças significativas às estratégias de combate ao problema pelos Estados. Seu caráter difuso, que vai além das fronteiras estatais, exige a concatenação de esforços estatais para seu enfrentamento, sobpena de restar infrutífera qualquer política nesse sentido. O Brasil e o Paraguai ocupam papel de destaque no desenvolvimento de atividades ilícita…

Pope John Paul II discourses and Poland's national symbols during the political transition (1978-1989)
This paper aims to show how the then new pope John Paul II represented an important factor in the downfall of the Communist regime in Poland using as tools his charismatic discourse, knowledge of Polish national culture and the powers granted to him by the Roman Catholic Church. In order to do this, it will resort to analysis of Wojtyła's speeches during the time, connecting them to the aforementioned cultural aspects. The final years of the Cold…
Estudos Críticos da Paz e Crime Organizado Transnacional
Este artigo visa entender como conceitos centrais dos Estudos para a Paz (EP), em particular em sua vertente crítica, podem ser úteis na compreensão analítica das mazelas do Crime Organizado Transnacional (COT). O artigo começa por explorar as diferenças entre os EP em suas vertentes convencionais e críticas, analisando em seguida o modo como o COT se constitui como uma ameaça difusa à paz que afeta sociedades tanto em conflito, como estabilizada…
A Review of 'Law's Impunity
The mercenaries and mercenarism are two points of concern for scholars studying the rules of war throughout history. Both in jus ad bellum (JAB) and jus in bellum (JIB) we can find a framework of international law crafted to impede the participation of individuals motivated to take part in hostilities to get private gain. Nevertheless, paradoxically, the problem is when corporations are supported by domestic law to perform serviced in ground comb…
