The Idealism of Oscar Niemeyer
  
Francisco Cesar Pinheiro Rodrigues
  
The left-wing monthly magazine “Caros Amigos”, which I have only just read, but dates from July 2006, published an extensive and intelligent interview with the famous architect Oscar Niemeyer, considered, almost unanimously, to be a genius in his profession. As everyone knows, Niemeyer is a communist who has never attempted to conceal his convictions. These convictions are vigorously and fearlessly defended (he is one of the few people with the courage to stand up for Stalin), it being impossible to doubt his sincerity. He says what he thinks.
 
  
The Temporal Space Between Anorexia Of Ethics And Bulimia Of Values
  
Jayme Vita Roso
  
Years ago I wrote an article for the “Revista Mercado Comum”, a magazine, in which I focused on the degradation of ethics and values. Now, after the success of the unproductive economy, which has led the global market to a catharsis, obliging well-informed consciences to reflect upon the future of man on this earth, where he is as a pilgrim, (according to the apostle Paulo) or as a guest just passing through (Andre Malraux), the theme is transposed.
 
  
World Government – necessary and inevitable
  
Francisco Cesar Pinheiro Rodrigues
  
The title of the present essay might provoke skeptical laughter in the arena of International Public Law and among experienced scholars of international relations. But they are intellectuals, who at present hold the attention of only a small number of sophisticated readers with their academic writings. If the need and urgency argued here prove to be true, they will be the voluntary or involuntary “obstetricians” of a new world order. The new world “baby” is being announced via nausea, strange “famines” and other alterations in the behavior of old mother Earth, who is a bit old for new concepts and worn out with ideological illusions, the discoverers of dynamite, endless conflicts, uncertainties and the very concrete physical suffering of her less favored children.
 
  
Radovan Karadzic and the trouble he is going to cause
  
Francisco Cesar Pinheiro Rodrigues
  
The aforementioned Serbian psychiatrist, under the guise of a poet, a politician giving rise to significant local repercussions, a bearded fugitive and, finally, a defendant at the International Criminal Court for the Former Yugoslavia, will certainly bring about substantial changes in the procedural rules of the Court that is judging him. Why?
 
  
BRIC - Now It Is Brazil´s Time
  
Juliana Girardelli Vilela
  
The BRIC acronym was coined by Jim O'Neill, head of economic researchers at Goldman Sachs, to refer to the world's primary four emerging countries: Brazil, Russia, India and China. Based on studies conducted by him and his team on estimated market evolution, production and demography, they concluded that by 2050 these four countries will be the world's top economies.
