2017 - Donadelli, F. 'Environmental Policy Integration in Brazil: an analysis of climate and biodiversity policies' - Revista de Administracao Publica 51(5):734-766
Abstract:
This article debates the importance and the current state of environmental policy integration among the areas of climate change and biodiversity in Brazil. It presents and critically evaluates the theoretical assumption that differences in bureaucratic cultures will necessarily result in policy integration difficulties. Based on the theoretical framework of grid-group cultural theory, it argues that the dominant egalitarian style developed within the context of biodiversity policies diverges, and sometimes hampers, integration with climate change policies, which were found to present a predominantly hierarchical approach. Finally, the role of political leaderships in overcoming the institutional barriers represented by bureaucratic cultures is also presented as an important factor relativizing and qualifying the predictions of cultural theory

2016 - Donadelli, F. Brazil's Emerging Role in Global Governance: Health, Food Security and Bioenergy (Book Review). Brazilian Political Science Review, 10(2)
Abstract:
Ever-expanding global interdependences associated with an increasingly dynamic international order makes the continuous updating of our understanding of the structures and processes of global governance a mandatory task. Emerging sources of authority, such as private regulatory mechanisms, and the emerging power of traditional sources of authority, such as developing states, place the debate advanced by Markus Fraundorfer in Brazil's Emerging Role in Global Governance, Health, Food Security and Bioenergy in the epicenter of any contemporary well-informed analysis of international relations. Investigating the way in which Brazil has influenced the mechanisms of global governance since the beginning of the twenty-first century, Fraundorfer provides a comprehensive account of the central role played by the country in three different sectors: health, food security and bioenergy. The central argument of the book is that Brazil now occupies a new position in an international context traditionally dominated by developed powers. Unveiling the intricate processes through which this increasing influence is built is the book's central goal. The idea that "Brazil's exercise of power and its subsequent ability to shape the structures and processes in global governance" (pp. 04) was developed on the basis of the country's activities in these three sectors is the departing assumption.

Abstract:
The mining industry seeks to promote more responsible environmental and social practices with stakeholders in order to better distribute the benefits of the operation and avoid negative social and environmental externalities from previous experiences. The case study of the new social responsibility model of Alcoa in Juruti (Pará - Brazil) highlights that despite the conflicts with rural communities, the benefits from the mining operation were actually distributed, even if asymmetrically, among the population of the urban and rural areas of Juruti.
Keywords: Local Governance, Corporate Social Responsibility, Mining, Social License.

Abstract:
Despite the dissemination of private regulatory mechanisms, the understanding of the motivation and the results of their adoption. is far from consolidated. Few studies have observed the process of implementation and the effectiveness of such mechanisms in producing public goods, especially in developing countries. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the rationale for adoption and the concrete results of private regulatory mechanisms in producing public goods. The case of the alpha-bisabolol (a substance extracted from the Brazilian Candeia tree - Eremanthus erythropappus) value chain has been analyzed through interviews, field visits and a literature review. Among the main conclusions of this work, which focused primarily on the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) are (1) the importance of corporate values, the inflexibility of public policy and public controversy stimulating the adoption of certification and (2) the evidence, at least for this case, that the FSC can be considered effective in its work for the improvement of environmental standards.
Keywords: Private environmental regulation. Adoption. Effectiveness. Public goods.
