Subnational Politics in Latin America
Vol. 19 No. 2 (2024)The reconfiguration of power centers and forms of government began to draw attention to the inescapable fact that, in Latin America, subnational politics cannot be understood as a function of national politics. Thus, works such as that of Montero and Samuels (2004) pointed to the importance of developing research and studies on “decentralized power” in both federal and unitary systems, breaking the prejudice that only in the former could there be variations between the national and subnational spheres (Pino, 2017). This approach made it possible to make visible the common traits and singularities of local leaderships, the multiple configurations of territorial power and, consequently, the variations in the functioning of political systems through much more precise and realistic views. And it is in this context of strengthening studies on subnational politics that this dossier is inserted.

Dossier: Violence, sociability and resistance on the margins of Brazilian cities
Vol. 19 No. 1 (2024)This issue discusses how violence and resistance related to urban conflicts have multiplied and diversified in Brazil in recent years. The selected texts revisit debates proposed by pioneering research that relates violence, civil society and social movements. In addition, they engage with more recent literature that analyzes Brazilian urban violence and its impacts, emphasizing the territorial, criminal, state, infrastructural, ethnic-racial, intersectional, generational and/or religious dimensions of this phenomenon. In short, the works that make up the dossier discuss violence and resistance based on reflections on: 1) urban trajectories, illegalities and everyday life; 2) the constitution of imaginaries and symbolic aspects in dispute between armed groups; 3) security, health and drug policies; 4) urban conflicts and collective mobilizations based on labor, cultural, religious and literary dynamics; 5) representations and self-representation of the margins.

Collective action, social movements, and organization: collected papers from the ISA forum 2021 and beyond
Vol. 17 No. 2 (2022)This dossier is the product of a collective action and subjectivity/ies. Predominantly asynchronous,
technologically mediated, and involving different scales and regions of the globe, the issue presented here had as its background and starting point a thematic session housed under Research Committee 17: "Organizational Sociology" (RC 17 Organizational Sociology), itself hosted and held in the context of the ISA Forum 2021 event. The idea of this dossier arose from contact between the guest editors of this issue, in the context of that event, and from the realization of the existing gap in terms of the participation and approximation of Brazilian and world academia regarding the specific theme in question. Particularly, reflection on the extent and role of organizations in sociological theory (Ackroyd, 2000) has been a frequently highlighted problem, although partially and timidly "solved". -
