"Thomas Paine often declared himself a citizen of the world. This Norton Critical Edition presents Paine and his writing within the transatlantic and global context of the revolutionary ideas and actions of his time. Thomas Paine's loyalties were with universal and self-evident principles rather than with a particular group or nation, and it is this dimension that informed his most important works. This Norton Critical Edition shows how Paine's fury at the British Empire, including its injustices to South Asians and Africans, shaped his first best seller, Common Sense, and how his direct involvement with the French Revolution pushed his ideas toward a unique form of democratic radicalism. Together with his rejection of organized religion, Paine's radicalism resulted in his being one of the most hated men in both monarchial Britain and republican America. This volume includes J.M. Opal's introduction, "Thomas Paine and the Revolutionary Enlightenment, 1770s-90s," which provides essential biographical and historical details across three tumultuous decades. Paine's most important works-from Common Sense (1776) through Agrarian Justice (1796)-are reprinted and are accompanied by explanatory annotations. Supporting materials include a wide range of documents from the turbulent years following the publication of both Common Sense and the Declaration of Independence. These include Pennsylvania's gradual emancipation statute of the 1780s, an ex-slave's impassioned call for revolutionary violence against European imperialists and masters, and a British conservative's witty rejoinder to Paine's vision of a brave new world."--Publisher's website.

"O objetivo principal de Marcelo Passini Mariano nesta obra é investigar como a política externa do Brasil, o principal integrante do Mercosul, relaciona-se com o bloco regional e de que maneira se revela na sua configuração e nos seus impasses. A partir de análises que entendem que a crise vivida pelo bloco não decorre exclusivamente de questões comerciais, o autor afirma que parte dos desafios atuais do bloco regional tem origem na própria concepção da política externa brasileira, que privilegia sua expansão para o restante da América do Sul em detrimento do aprofundamento da integração. Assim, em A política externa brasileira e a integração regional, Mariano discute a hipótese de que, para o Mercosul expandir-se, seria necessária uma mudança em alguns preceitos da política externa brasileira em relação ao escopo dos processos de integração, em especial sobre a questão da autonomia de cada nação."
