• Coming of Age? Recent Scholarship on Brazilian Foreign Policy
  by Jean Daudelin

tratando de livros recentes sobre relações internacionais e política externa do Brasil.
Bem, como eu sou um sujeito que escreve umas tantas coisas sobre esses temas, sou citado da seguinte forma: 

"This generally positive assessment of Lula’s policy is challenged in a whole section devoted to “critical interpretations” (1:199–283). Paulo Roberto de Almeida—Itamaraty’s foremost “detached intellectual”7—proposes a sharp, if slightly sloppy, assessment of Lula’s diplomacy, arguing in particular that the latter’s efforts have failed to build a tighter South American community around Mercosul; to expand alliances in the global South; or to leverage the whole to gain influence and status, particularly at the United Nations (1:249–259)."

A nota 7 remete ao trabalho de Karl Mannheim, Ideology and Utopia (London: Routledge, 1936).

Vejamos, então, para os que não conhecem muito o inglês: 

Foremost, nos dicionários, é traduzido como "Ahead of all others, especially in position or rank; paramount."

Grato pela parte que me toca, pelo menos no Itamaraty...

detached intellectual, remete a um conceito de Mannheim, que resulta em significar que eu não faço parte do bando, ou seja, que sou um outcast, ou dissidente, numa linguagem mais agressiva. Numa linguagem mais neutra, eu seria independente da ideologia dominante. Aliás, o livro de Mannheim é justamente sobre ideologia e utopia. Acho que não escorrego em nenhuma das duas, os outros é que se expliquem...

Grato, também, pela parte que me toca...

sharp, if slightly sloppy: avaliação aguda, mas não sistemática, ou levemente sem cuidado...; bem, aí já é a interpretação do autor da resenha-artigo, e não me cabe responder. Costumo escrever o que eu eu penso, não o que os outros esperam que eu diga...

Aceito, sem mais...

Abstract: N. M. Rothschild & Sons (NMR), the banking house which the Frankfurt-born Nathan Mayer Rothschild (1777–1836) began operating from New Court in London in 1809 and which is continued to this day by his descendants, has a long history of involvement in Brazil. Extensive documentation of this history is preserved in The Rothschild Archive in London, where material up to 1930 is available for consultation. The firm’s initial business with Brazil was in merchant banking activities and bullion dealing, but in 1855 it became the Brazilian government’s financial agent in London and went on to handle the government’s borrowing in the London capital markets and to be closely concerned with the country’s fiscal, commercial, and exchange rate policy. With the bank at the heart of the development of Brazilian public finance, The Rothschild Archive is an important resource for an understanding of this aspect of Brazilian economic and political history, as well as the history of British informal imperialism and emerging patterns of globalization.
