The intention of the coordinators of the editorial project is to explore new perspectives on the discussions that followed the inaugural publication of these studies and analyzes2 . The organization and the release of this publication in a seminar that brings together the authors for the presentation and discussion of their work with special guests confirm the willingness of the Center of Studies on Bioethics and Diplomacy in Health of Fiocruz and the Observatory of Human Resources of UnB to proceed in the consolidation of the International Observatory of Human Capabilities, Development and Public Policy. This collection of texts aims to strengthen this debate, focusing again on two issues raised in the presentation of the previous issue: the vocation of capitalist development, as occurs in Latin America and other continents to inevitably impose certain standardized and controlled styles to live in society, were there is not the unveiling of the horizon of freedom promised by Sen’s theory; and the impression that often this horizon of freedom is definitely made not viable by the type of development imposed unilaterally by the State, a phenomenon that can occur in both contexts of authoritarian as democratic regimes.Concluding this presentation, remains the hope that the preparation and dissemination of this publication will contribute to better understand, evaluate and guide decisions about the problems that are part of the debate on international relations, helping to clear up topics relevant to the future of humanity health, in the case in question, diseases and chronic conditions.
