“…A atual globalização económica e financeira tem diversas vertentes (Amaral 2002), mas ao longo do século XX a importância das multinacionais não cessou de aumentar (Wolfe 1977). independentemente da perspetiva de análise adotada e dos acérrimos debates consequentes (marcus e Fischer 1999(marcus e Fischer [1986), o que esteve desde o início em discussão decorreu do aumento exponencial da internacionalização da produção pelas principais empresas multinacionais, designadas internacionalmente corporações transnacionais não financeiras (tNC).…”

Este artigo analisa as migrações transnacionais no setor das pescas, adotando como estudo de caso o fenómeno das migrações temporárias nos mares europeus e a sua lógica económica e social específica. Neste projeto empírico apresento algumas situações profissionais de pescadores portugueses e práticas políticas que tendem a derivar dessas opções. A abordagem teórica cruza-se com os discursos de pescadores com diferentes percursos de vida e um olhar particular de um sindicalista sobre as alterações mais emergentes das relações de produção e dos novos desafios que se colocam a um sindicato num quadro de rápidas transformações económicas e políticas.

“…Similarly, interpretations of Islam underwrite the unity of quite an array of contemporary politico-military organizations that constitute states, traditionally defined. So far as economic resources are concerned, Wolfe's (1977) analysis of the multinational corporation a quarter of a century ago seems yet more perceptive today:…”

This article argues the importance to humanity of understanding processes of social, political, and cultural integration and of attempting to forecast the results. It outlines the theoretical grounds for expecting future global trends to be integrative rather than disintegrative. It summarizes past empirical efforts to forecast their ultimate consequence—global unification—and it introduces some methodological cautions about such forecasts. There are underexamined implications to what is meant by unification, what is defined as a polity, and what are taken as units in constructing the empirical trends used in forecasting. Finally, the article points out that different types of resources can be used to construct power relations (and hence integration) and that therefore there is probably no single global unification but only different types of global unification.
