    Open AccessMarcelo De A Medeiros, Manoel Leonardo Wanderley Santos et al.ARTICLEDados2025References: 21

    In a globalized world, Legislative control over matters related to Mercosur and the European Union (EU) is important.

    Open AccessPetra Karina B De Godoy, Marcelo De A Medeiros et al.ARTICLERevista Brasileira de Política…2024References: 4

    Does French legislation encourage integration and post-national citizenship? Although French national identity and integration literature reaffirms the exhaustion of the French model and politics for integration, and although traces of economic and social segregation are still observed, data from the Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques and the Migrant Integration Policy Index indicate instead a growing care, from 2015 on…

Immigrants represent 13.1% of the French population, and debates about their impact and assimilation capacity date back to the 19th century. National and European legislation sets the rules governing entry permits and the conditions for obtaining permanent residence. This article analyzes France's migration policy based on the legislati…

    This paper aims to: (i) investigate whether Republican legislatures were more inclined than Democratic ones to uphold laws of national sovereignty and whether Democratic legislatures were more likely than Republican ones to prioritise bills linked to the post-national perspective; (ii) assess the US migration laws by considering how state-level legal systems affect migrants’ lives. Using data from the National Conference of State Legislatures and…

  • Foreign Policy versus Migration Legislation: The case of Brazil (1979-2017)

    Open AccessMarcelo De A Medeiros, Igor Henriques Sabino De Farias et al.ARTICLEBrazilian Political Science Review2022References: 13

    In the current international system, countries have responded in distinct manners to migratory phenomenon, principally in the internal sphere. Using Hermann’s Model, this study intends to verify, using documentary analysis, the level of influence which the international treaties signed by Brazil exercised on the formulation of migration legislation in the country between the Foreigner Statute (Law No 6.815/1980) and the 2017 Migration Law (Law No…

  • China’s Engagement with R2P: Pluralist Shaper

    Mikelli Marzzini L A Ribeiro, Marcelo De A Medeiros et al.ARTICLEGlobal Responsibility to Protect2020Cited by: 1

    Recently, the behaviour of emerging powers in relation to R2P has been understood as that of norm-shapers: states that seek to adjust the norm so that it conforms to their particular understandings. In this behaviour, respect for sovereignty is seen as a central concern. In the English School of International Relations, identification with the institution of sovereignty reflects an approach called pluralism. China’s behaviour is consistent with a…

  • Analysing the Asymmetry in Decentralised International Co-operation: The Case of Brazil/Europe Sub-national Relations

    The article analyses the decentralised international co-operation between Brazil and Europe, focusing on two specific issues that are not the main objectives of the literature specialised in paradiplomacy studies: first, how international co-operation can be used as a tool for power projection and second, the effects that the economic, political and institutional asymmetry among the actors involved in co-operation arrangements produces on the co-…

  • Ideology and Immigration Patterns in European Union (1988–2015)

    Open AccessMarcelo De A Medeiros, Dalson Figueiredo Filho et al.ARTICLERevista de Sociologia e Política2019References: 35

    Introduction: The theory points out to the existence of likely links between party ideology and migratory policies, stating that, in principle, values associated with the right, based on nationalism, tend to, restrict immigration dynamics more than those linked to the axiology of the left, anchored in universalism. Does party ideology affect immigration patterns in the European Union? This paper tests the hypothesis that the greater the values in…

  • Diplomats, Quo Vadis? The determinants of Brazilian diplomatic presence

    Open AccessRafael Mesquita, Marcelo De A Medeiros et al.ARTICLERevista Brasileira de Política…2019Cited by: 2References: 15

By analyzing the Brazilian case from 2008 to 2015, we compare the effect of structural, bilateral, and bureaucratic factors in shaping the country’s diplomatic presence abroad, as measured by the ranking and size of its diplomatic representations. Results indicate a consistent influence of bilateral and bureaucratic determinants

    Open AccessMarcelo De A Medeiros, Augusto W M Teixeira Júnior et al.ARTICLERevista de Sociologia e Política2017Cited by: 1References: 21

    Como explicar o comportamento aparentemente paradoxal da Política Externa Brasileira para o regionalismo sul-americano? A literatura acadêmica especializada afirma existir um distanciamento do Brasil em relação a cooperação e integração regional na América do Sul. Esse distanciamento, porém, não desmantelou o regionalismo estabelecido em período anterior (Mercosul) e não impediu o estabelecimento da União de Nações Sul-Americanas (Unasul). A part…

  • Necesita São Paulo una política exterior? Hegemonía, diplomacia y paradiplomacia en Brasil

    Open AccessMarcelo De A MedeirosARTICLEAMÉRICA LATINA HOY2011Cited by: 1

    El presente trabajo argumenta dos cosas. Por un lado, que la condición hegemónica del estado de São Paulo en el seno de la federación brasileña lo predispone a una acción paradiplomática endógena. Por otra parte, alega que esta acción paradiplomática endógena coincide con un fenómeno de desconcentración (y no de federalización) de la diplomacia nacional. La conclusión a la que se llega es que si la desconcentración paulatina de la diplomacia bras…

    Open AccessAndrea Quirino Steiner, Marcelo De A MedeirosARTICLEContexto Internacional2010Cited by: 2References: 34

    As últimas décadas foram marcadas pela grande quantidade de problemas ambientais transfronteiriços e pelo consequente aumento no número de regimes internacionais relacionados. Entretanto, a criação de um regime por si só não garante sua implementação, tampouco a obtenção plena de seus objetivos ou, menos ainda, a resolução do problema. Este fato vem estimulando um debate interessante na academia: os regimes internacionais são realmente eficazes p…
