The paper aims understand the role about industrialization in the traditional European geopolitics though. How the economic progress was important to the antique late capitalism countries, as Germany, and to the Third Worlds group could contest the North-South structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the 1990s, anti-globalization movements began contesting the effects of neoliberal policies and their social consequences, organizing several protests in Seattle (1999), Genoa (2001), New York (2002), targeting institutions such as the G-8 group or the World Trade Organization (WTO). After the financial crisis of 2008 in the United States, other social movements of resistance to capitalism began to protest in the streets of the U.S. and Europe, among which are the Indignados (Spain), Occupy Wall Street (USA) and Geração à Rasca (Portugal). The purpose of this article is to perform a theoretical analysis, based on contemporary social science authors, of the social movements that emerged after the financial crisis of 2008, placing them in the context of contemporary capitalism. It concludes that, despite the increased incidence of such social movements worldwide, the present context of economic recession still causes high unemployment rates in the countries most affected by the crisis, the environment remains threatened and most political parties suffer a big crisis of representation within civil society.

The article aims to present the contribution of a neo-Gramscian perspective to the understanding of the dynamics of order and power in the global political economy. In this sense, it is divided in two parts: the first, it is presented Gramsci's thought in its context, in order to, in the second moment, develop a re-reading of Gramsci beyond its context. Hence, such re-reading will occur through an engagement with some neo-Gramscian scholars, such as Robert W. Cox, Stephen Gill, William I. Robinson, Adam Morton and John Agnew. In this process, it will be discussed the incorporation of Gramsci's work in Global Political Economy field, with special attention to the process of internationalization/transnationalization of the State.

The present study aims to contribute to the understanding of political and economic processes involved in the emergence of the Neoclassical Movement occurring in administration and rarely discussed in literature. Based on Kuhn's assumptions, we have also aimed to assess if neoclassicism exerted sufficient influence to represent a new paradigm in administrative thought. A bibliographic survey was thus undertaken approaching works related to administrative theory, the United States' policy, the North- American domestic economy and its relation to the rest of the post-war world. Results showed that the Neoclassical Movement was incohesive and it should not therefore be considered as a theory. Its influence has been considerate even up to the present day and it effectively provides a historic example of the empirical and theoretical relations between administration, politics and economics - a dialogue key to organizational theories.
