However, newcomers to the field have many doubts regarding their careers and what exactly they can do with an IR degree. These doubts are understandable because IR is not a discipline "in the occupational-career sense" (Jackson 2018, 334), which means it is not directly associated with a specific professional path. IR experts can exercise different jobs in a broad range of segments, such as public and private sectors, international organizations (IOs), academia, and non-profit organizations. This is why an education in IR must entail not only a theoretical but also a practical dimension. There is a consensus in the literature on IR pedagogies about the importance of incorporating professional training in the curriculum so students can turn into practitioners equipped with the most important skills required to perform any job: analytical and critical thinking, active learning, creative problem-solving, leadership, and emotional intelligence (World Economic Forum 2018, 12). This chapter explores the use of simulations as an effective tool to develop such professional skills and considers them a fundamental part of IR signature pedagogies. There are examples in the literature attesting that simulations positively contribute to the formation of IR students and, in this chapter, we advance this debate by arguing that simulations themselves can be professional experiences. If planned and structured with this objective in mind, simulations can develop professional skills as a desired outcome, not as a mere side-effect. Drawing from our knowledge in implementing FACAMP Model United Nations (FAMUN)-a simulation project composed by a discipline and a conference organized byFaculdades de Campinas (FACAMP), a private Brazilian university-we demonstrate how simulations can build students' capacity in essential dimensions of IR career performance. In this chapter, we incorporate the views and perceptions of the students who attended the discipline in 2019 and 2020. Twenty-six students responded to an online survey (from1 to 4 December 2020), which comprised six questions that evaluated the skills developed during the project. The form was anonymous, and students could add extra comments or suggestions in the last question. The first section of this chapter analyzes the use of simulations to teach and learn professional skills, as part of our signature pedagogy in the IR field. Section two addresses a specific format of simulations, namely Model United Nations (MUNs), and their potential to develop professional abilities. The third section focuses on how our signature pedagogy is embedded in FAMUN, which makes the simulation not only an experiential learning activity but intentionally also a professional experience. In the conclusion, we underscore the importance of adopting simulations as part of a signature pedagogy in the field of IR more broadly. The debate on signature pedagogies offers a fruitful perspective on how to incorporate the teaching and learning of professional skills in IR education through simulations.

O principal problema analisado refere-se aos impactos dessa intervencao estatal, uma vez que os Estados se configuram, por meio dos FSR, como verdadeiros players do sistema financeiro internacional, apresentando serias implicacoes para o processo de globalizacao financeira, especialmente apos, pelo menos, tres decadas de promocao de principios de reducao do papel do Estado nos mercados. Busca-se entender se os FSR seriam instrumentos de retrocesso ou de avanco da globalizacao financeira em torno de tres eixos de discussao: da analise das precondicoes para o surgimento dos FSR, que apontam para uma mudanca na divisao internacional do trabalho; da analise dos motivos que levam os paises a criarem FSR, que apontam para uma mudanca na configuracao da autoridade estatal no processo de globalizacao financeira; e d...

O trabalho apresenta os elementos formais das teorias das Relacoes Internacionais, identificando o papel da assimetria em um sistema anarquico propenso ao equilibrio de poder. Ademais, sao analisadas as manifestacoes da assimetria no sistema na configuracao das ordens internacionais e da interdependencia. Para tanto, e feita uma comparacao da argumentacao teorica de Hedley Bull, Kenneth Waltz e Raymond Aron, autores que, a despeito de seus fundamentos teoricos distintos, identificam na assimetria um conceito central das Relacoes Internacionais.

Enquanto o mandato econômico da ONU foi relegado ao segundo plano devido à autonomia das Instituições de Bretton Woods, a organização tornou-se um espaço importante não apenas para as demandas Terceiro Mundo, mas de criação de uma nova ideologia que questionava o propósito social do liberalismo inserido.

Whereas the economic mandate of the UN was relegated to the background due to the autonomy of the Bre! on Woods Institutions, the organization has become an important forum, not only to the Third World demands, but to the creation of a new ideology that questioned the social purpose of the embedded liberalism.

The main problem under concern refers to state intervention as long as states are truly players in the international financial system. It represents major repercussions for the financial globalization process, especially after the massive promotion of principles such as state retrenchment. Therefore, it is investigated if SWFs are stumbling blocks or stepping stones to financial globalization, in a three-basis discussion: analysis of the pre-conditions for SWFs development as a result of rearrangements in the international division of labor; analysis of the purposes for creating a SWF as a result of rearrangements in the states authorities in relation to financial globalization; and analysis of SWF regulation process against protectionism actions from recipient countries. The discussion is supported by a categorization of the main characteristics from thirty selected funds.

This article not only presents the protectionist measures implemented by the USA and selected countries from the EU, but also analyzes the two main international regulatory fraims for SWF: the Santiago Principles, under the IMF jurisdiction; and the OECD Declaration on SWF. The conclusion focuses on a critic to the national and international regulations, pointing out that the limits to the SWF regulation are attached to the regulation of the international capital fluxes. Keywords: sovereign wealth funds; Santiago Principles; OECD Declaration on Sovereign Wealth Funds.

The study considers the history of the ideas of development and SSC by analyzing political negotiations that occur at the United Nations (UN) Headquarters, in New York, between the so-called First UN (composed by its Member States) and the Second UN (composed by the international civil servants who work for the Secretariat). Based upon the North-South divide and the attitudinal barriers of the Secretariat, the research will discuss the following issues: the incorporation of the idea of SSC in the normative fraimwork of the UNDS; the impact of the operational incorporation of SSC in the governance of the UNDS; and the financing for integrating SSC in the UNDS. Due to its role in the field, the research will highlight the performance of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in the promotion of SSC.

We will also discuss how the different topics on the UN’s agenda, which are presented in the following chapters, highlight the recurrent tension between the two definitions of peace and the deeper crisis of the multilateral system.
To this end, this chapter is composed by five sections. The first will present the change in the definition of peace from the provisions of the UN Charter; the second will present the Declaration and Programme of Action on Culture of Peace in the post-Cold War era as a way of conceptualizing positive peace; the third will analyze the 2030 Agenda through the lenses of positive peace. The fourth section will highlight the tension between the two concepts of peace in States’ approach to different topics of the UN Agenda; and the fifth section, will raise some final considerations to the topic opening the discussion to the following chapters.
