El desarrollo rural en Colombia requiere de un cambio en su dinámica social y económica; el cual no puede darse sin el acompañamiento de mejoras en la infraestructura. Las condiciones de transporte de carga para la productividad del campo son pieza fundamental. Otro aspecto indispensable para mejorar de calidad de vida rural implica analizar las condiciones en que la población domiciliada en lugares apartados de las redes de servicios se surte de agua y atiende las necesidades de saneamiento básico. Como aporte, el presente libro reúne las experiencias en algunas regiones rurales del país y su respectivo análisis técnico como resultado de un proyecto de investigación enfocado en buscar soluciones que mejoren las condiciones infraestructurales a gran parte de la población rural.

Full textAbstract:
La Orinoquía es una de las regiones con mayor riqueza de fauna en Colombia. En ella se encuentra uno de los ecosistemas estratégicos y más vulnerables del país: los bosques de galería. Estos ecosistemas se reconocen como conectores de vida por su papel central en la conservación de los recursos naturales locales. A partir del trabajo de campo realizado por investigadores, estudiantes y egresados de la Universidad de La Salle, este libro presenta una aproximación a la diversidad de fauna de la Hacienda Matepantano, a través de la descripción de los grupos más representativos (macroinvertebrados, arácnidos, insectos, peces, anfibios, reptiles, aves, mamíferos terrestres y voladores) y del análisis de aspectos climáticos, del uso del suelo y de los sistemas productivos, en su estructura y función. Esta obra, más que un texto científico, está pensada para toda persona que quiera acercarse al conocimiento de la fauna presente en la Orinoquía colombiana, a través de maravillosas imágenes y descripciones generales de los organismos que allí habitan.

Full textAbstract:
En la Universidad de La Salle, el estudio de la formación docente exige comprender la manera en que los maestros viven los procesos formativos del sistema educativo y las dinámicas escolares de sus instituciones. Desde dicha perspectiva, este libro analiza cómo los maestros de lengua extranjera de cinco regiones del país han vivido veinte años de políticas, reformas y programas que buscaban circunscribir su pensar, su hacer y su ser. Los investigadores y los maestros participantes comparten una reflexión que se mueve entre la cr ítica de las apuestas programáticas del Ministerio de Educación Nacional en la vida de los maestros del Distrito Lasallista de Bogotá; la asunción del maestro como conocedor y analista crítico de su contexto de enseñanza-aprendizaje y la elaboración de referentes teórico-conceptuales que les proporcionen estrategias y lineamientos contextualizados. Tal reflexión trasciende los límites de las instituciones y los actores involucrados, de modo que es un referente de consulta y réplica para otras entidades que busquen transformar sus currículos y adaptar sus prácticas de enseñanza.

Full textAbstract:
Il secondo di due volumi dedicati all'ermetismo e Firenze editi da Firenze University Press (il primo dal titolo Critici, traduttori, maestri, modelli è acquistabile separatamente). Tra il 1930 e il 1945 un gruppo di giovani dette vita a Firenze a una delle più felici stagioni letterarie del nostro Novecento. Molti di loro si riconobbero in una dizione comune, marcata da un immaginario condiviso, e nel silenzioso dissenso dalla retorica del regime, alla quale venivano contrapposti la radicalità dell’istanza etica e il legame profondo con le radici giudaicocristiane, romanze, romantico-simboliste della civiltà europea. A cento anni dalla nascita dei suoi protagonisti (Mario Luzi, Piero Bigongiari, Alessandro Parronchi, Vittorio Bodini) ancora ci si chiede cosa sia stato l’ermetismo, come sia nato, cosa l’abbia contraddistinto. Cercare come si sia modificato, perché sia stato circondato da pregiudizi e avversione (come fanno i due imprescindibili volumi che raccolgono gli atti di un memorabile convegno nel quale Anna Dolfi ha coinvolto studiosi provenienti da ogni parte del mondo), porta a tracciare un quadro/ritratto degli autori dell’ermetismo, dei suoi critici (Bo, Macrí), amici (il compagno di generazione Vittorio Sereni), estimatori e/o detrattori, e a delimitare i confini di un complesso capitolo della storia italiana iniziata con il Fascismo e conclusa, di recente, con la caduta delle ideologie. Assieme ai suoi ‘attori’, in posizione di rilievo è Firenze, la città che fu risvegliata per qualche decennio alla grandezza del passato da una nuova passione, fatta di cultura, creatività ed intelligenza.

Epperly, Brad. The Political Foundations of Judicial Independence in Dictatorship and Democracy. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198845027.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This book argues that explaining judicial independence—considered the fundamental question of comparative law and politics—requires a perspective that spans the democracy/autocracy divide. Rather than seeking separate explanations in each regime context, in The Political Foundations of Judicial Independence in Dictatorship and Democracy, Brad Epperly argues that political competition is a salient factor in determining levels of de facto judicial independence across regime type, and indeed of greater import in autocracies. This is because a full “insurance” account of independence requires looking not only at the likelihood those in power might lose elections but also the variable risks associated with such an outcome, risks that are far higher for autocrats. First demonstrating that courts can and do provide insurance to former leaders, he then shows via exhaustive cross-national analyses that competition’s effects are far higher in autocratic regimes, providing the first evidence for the causal nature of the relationship. Epperly argues that these findings differ from existing case study research because in democratic regimes, a lack of political competition means incumbents target the de jure independence of courts. This argument is developed via in-depth case study of the Hungarian Constitutional Court after the country’s 2010 “constitutional revolution,” and then tested globally. Blending formal theory, observational and instrumental variables models, and elite interviews of leading Hungarian legal scholars and judges, Epperly offers a new framework for understanding judicial independence that integrates explanations of both de jure and de facto independence in both democratic and autocratic regimes.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 2 interrogates modernization theory and the belief that economic growth is key to explaining why democratic regimes rise and fall. Many small states in Africa, the Caribbean, and most significantly the Pacific are poor but retain high Freedom House scores. Conversely, some small states, in Europe in particular, but also Brunei in Asia, tend to be both richer and poorly scored. This demonstrates that while economic performance is clearly relevant to the survival of regimes, the key link is not how wealthy a country is but how elites both utilize their economic resources and narrate the story of their performance. In poorer states, elites keep public expectations low while rewarding loyal followers via practices of clientelism and patronage. In wealthy states, elites link high living standards with regime stability and centralized authority. Thus, the personalization of politics can have unexpected benefits for democratization, especially in small, poorer countries.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the main issues faced by the Lehman Brothers Treasury Co BV in the Netherlands (LBT) bankruptcy trustees in the valuation of (claims arising from) Notes and Certificates (LBT Notes). Legal and economic aspects of the definitive valuation principles adopted by LBT’s bankruptcy trustees are explained in detail. Although Dutch law applied to the valuation of insolvency claims, some references to foreign valuation regimes is made to illustrate alternative options for the valuation of certain types of insolvency claims or the need for statutory reform. The chapter first provides an overview of the procedure applied by the LBT bankruptcy trustees to establish valuation principles and the role of certain main stakeholders in this process. This chapter also looks at legal and economic aspects of the general valuation regime under the Dutch Bankruptcy Code (Faillissementswet) vis-à-vis the valuation of insolvency claims in the LBT proceedings and concludes with some observations on future legal reform.

Full textAbstract:
This book looks at the threats that rulers face from their own armed forces. Can they make their regimes impervious to coups? This book shows that how leaders organize their coercive institutions has a profound effect on the survival of their regimes. When rulers use presidential guards, militarized police, and militia to counterbalance the regular military, efforts to oust them from power via coups d'état are less likely to succeed. Even as counterbalancing helps to prevent successful interventions, however, the resentment that it generates within the regular military can provoke new coup attempts. And because counterbalancing changes how soldiers and police perceive the costs and benefits of a successful overthrow, it can create incentives for protracted fighting that result in the escalation of a coup into full-blown civil war. Drawing on an original dataset of state security forces in 110 countries over a span of fifty years, as well as case studies of coup attempts in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, the book sheds light on how counterbalancing affects regime survival. Understanding the dynamics of counterbalancing, the book shows, can help analysts predict when coups will occur, whether they will succeed, and how violent they are likely to be. The arguments and evidence in this book suggest that while counterbalancing may prevent successful coups, it is a risky strategy to pursue — and one that may weaken regimes in the long term.

Full textAbstract:
In a landmark article, Sammy Smooha, a prominent scholar of Israel’s regime, argued that as an ethnic democracy, Israel was unlikely to witness the emergence of “European-style” radical right-wing populism. The gist of the argument was that in ethnic democracies the state already occupies the ideological spaces that radical right-wing parties fill in liberal democracies, leaving such ideologies no room to evolve. In contrast to Smooha, this chapter considers ethnic democracies as fertile grounds for the growth of radical right politics. It maintains that such regimes facilitate the entrenchment of radical-right sentiments within significant parts of the population and political system, and consequently further facilitate the radicalization of radical-right parties that seek to distinguish themselves from other political actors. The chapter tests this argument via an analysis of the various ideological pillars of the Israeli radical right.

Full textAbstract:
Gender has been conceptualized in various ways in the mainstream governance literature and critical feminist work. The relationship between the concepts of gender and governance can be viewed as governance of gender and gender governance. The governance of gender is related to the way in which the values that permeate governance reflect traditional gender regimes. On the other hand, gender governance concerns governance in policy areas that, in the first instance, directly deal with women's issues. Gender governance is about the attempts to change gender regimes by inserting new policies, procedures, and values through global and multilevel governance, for example via the UN and the EU. In feminist studies that have focused on the state, the literature that is of particular interest to governance studies looks at the role of the state in gender relations. It studies, for example, the representation of women in electoral bodies and parties, theorizes representation in political bodies, and looks at the organization of welfare politics. In the field of international relations, feminist scholars are particularly interested in exploring the gender aspects of globalization and how the neoliberal order organizes women's lives. Governance has also been explored in relation to the EU and the term multilevel governance has become a standard concept in EU studies. The concept gender regime or gender order has been used by many researchers who study gender governance in the EU context.

Full textAbstract:
Malaria is a vector-borne parasitic illness characterized by acute fever, headache, chills, and vomiting. Medications must target both the parasite’s active and inactive forms. During pregnancy, treatment regimens should consist of quinine and clindamycin. Person-to-person transmission can occur via sharing of blood products or during pregnancy. It is possible to contract malaria even while on prophylactic medications because resistance is widespread. Country-specific recommendations for prophylaxis can be found in the CDC’s annual Health Information for International Travel Protection against mosquito bites. Dengue Fever is a vector-borne viral infection that causes a flu-like illness with occasional lethal complications. It occurs primarily in tropical and subtropical regions. All treatment is supportive, ranging from oral rehydration to intravenous fluid administration and vasopressor support. Aspirin and NSAIDs are contraindicated in this population. Person-to-person transmission can occur via sharing of blood products or during pregnancy, although vertical transmission is rare.

Full textAbstract:
This book explores how the governments of the founding members of the European Coal and Steel Community and the European Economic Community, acting collectively via the European Communities, assisted in the consolidation of the Franco regime. The Six (the Nine after 1973) provided the Spanish economy with a stable supply of raw materials and capital goods and with outlet markets for Spain’s main export commodities. Through both mechanisms, the European Communities assisted Spain’s development and supported the stabilization of its non-democratic régime. From 1950 to the mid-1960s, the Six avoided every sign of discrimination against Spain. By the mid-1960s, they became conscious of the need to promote Spanish exports in order to expand their own exports on the Spanish market. By 1970, Madrid obtained an arrangement with the EEC that, free of any political conditionality, provided ample access to the Common Market while keeping the Spanish market essentially closed. After 1972, the Nine negotiated Franco Spain’s integration into a pan-European industrial free-trade area, in exchange for access to the Spanish market. It was the Spanish cabinet, at the last minute, for protection reasons, who decided to derail the offer. The Franco regime was never threatened by European integration and the Six/Nine managed to isolate negotiations with Spain from mounting political disturbance. In sum, without unremitting material assistance from Western Europe, it would have been considerably more challenging for the Franco regime to attain the stability that enabled the dictator to maintain his rule until dying peacefully at 82 years old.

Full textAbstract:
Na presente obra, adaptada de sua tese de doutorado, o autor analisa criticamente e busca compreender as possibilidades e os limites de alinhamento dos “chamados regimes de resolução”, ou seja, os regimes de recuperação e de falência aplicáveis a bancos, instituições financeiras e entidades assemelhadas, aos padrões desenvolvidos nas redes regulatórias internacionais, com destaque para os “Atributos Fundamentais para Regimes de Resolução Eficazes para Instituições Financeiras”, elaborados e disseminados pelo Conselho de Estabilidade Financeira. Tem ocorrido um notável desenvolvimento e evolução na trajetória da regulação financeira global, de modo a permitir o aperfeiçoamento da eficácia e da equidade dos regimes de resolução, tornando-os mais aptos a lidar com instabilidade estrutural do sistema financeiro e minimizar a necessidade do emprego de recursos públicos em ações de saneamento de empresas e conglomerados financeiros. Nesse contexto, o livro analisa o alinhamento dos regimes e medidas de resolução brasileiros aos padrões internacionais, sem desconsiderar as especificidades institucionais e históricas que moldaram o sistema brasileiro de resolução financeira. O livro busca suprir uma lacuna nos estudos sobre os regimes de resolução no Brasil, enfrentando o problema na perspectiva do Direito Público Internacional, do Direito Comparado e do Direito Econômico da Regulação; analisando a consistência dos novos padrões internacionais de resolução de instituições financeiras, desenvolvidos fora das vias tradicionais do Direito Internacional Público, e explorando os limites e as possibilidade de alinhamento do ordenamento brasileiro à padronização sugerida.

Full textAbstract:
Despite high spending on family benefits and the high poverty reduction effectiveness of cash benefits, the risk of child poverty in Hungary have been higher than the EU average since the early 1990s in which the relatively high share of children in very low work-intensity households played a significant role. The crisis period brought an even higher poverty risk for children. According to the chapter’s findings, the increase in child poverty in the first phase of the crisis was driven by labour market processes (an increasing share of children in low work-intensity households), while the automatic stabilizers reduced the magnitude of these effects. By contrast, in the second phase, labour market processes started to improve (although mainly through controversial policy tools, like public work and outward migration), though the shift towards a regressive social policy regime contributed to increased poverty rates via the reduced poverty reduction impacts of cash benefits.

Full textAbstract:
Considering incidents that make headline news internationally, given the modern information and communication technology revolution, the facility of citizens to rapidly mobilize represents a considerable threat to autocratic survival. While the speed with which popular movements emerge has increased exponentially, and the news of their existence spreads faster and farther, civil unrest has threatened the stability and survival of dictators for centuries. The paranoia and machinations of dictators depicted in films, such as the portrayal of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland, while sensationalized, capture the astounding array of threats with which unelected leaders must concern themselves. On the one hand, they must worry about insider threats to their standing, such as conspiratorial plots from people within the dictator’s own circle or mutiny among government soldiers. On the other hand, dictators also must monitor threats originating from non-regime actors, such as new alliances forming among once-fragmented opposition groups or the possibility of sustained insurgency or a popular revolution. From force to finesse, autocratic leaders have developed a broad and evolving range of tactics and tools to diminish both internal and external domestic threats to their reign. The success of dictators’ endeavors to insulate their regimes from forces that might challenge them depends on accurate and reliable information, a resource that can be as valuable to the leader as would a large armory and loyal soldiers. Dictators invest significant resources (monetary as well as human capital) to try to gather useful information about their existing and potential opponents, while also trying to control and shape information emitted by the regime before it reaches the public. New information and communication technologies (ICTs), which have drawn a great deal of scholarly attention since the beginning of the 21st century—present both risks and rewards for dictators; inversely they also create new opportunities and hazards for citizens who might utilize them to mobilize people opposed to the regime. While civil unrest could encompass the full range of domestic, nonmilitary actors, there also needs to be a specific focus on various forms of mass mobilization. Historically, more dictators have been forced from office by elite-initiated overthrows via coups d’état than have fallen to revolution or fled amid street protests. Civil unrest, in its many forms, can affect autocratic survival or precipitate regime breakdown. While mass-based revolutions have been a relatively rare phenomenon to date, the actions of many 21st-century dictators indicate that they increasingly concern themselves with the threats posed by popular protests and fear its potential for triggering broader antigovernment campaigns. The ease of access to information (or the lack thereof) help explain interactions between authoritarian regimes and citizens emphasizes. The role of information in popular antigovernment mobilization has evolved and changed how dictators gather and utilize information to prevent or counter civil unrest that might jeopardize their own survival as well as that of the regime.

Full textAbstract:
Ao se considerar as produções culturais alocadas em um museu como materialidades linguístico-discursivas da ordem do artístico, neste livro, tematiza-se a reprodutibilidade da obra de arte e sobretudo, de seu ambiente material de exposição, o museu, através de procedimentos técnicos, tecnológicos (como a fotografia, a digitalização e a recodificação) e da tecnologia da governamentalidade, para focalizar as mudanças nas relações de saber-poder entremeadas entre sujeito espectador, obra de arte e instituição cultural, uma vez que o espaço do museu, nesse caso, pode ser apreendido como um sítio de significações que acampa para além da ordem do artístico. Em vista disso, lança a seguinte problematização: diante dessa modificação material, o museu virtual constitui-se em um espaço heterotópico outro que especifica e diferencia um enunciado de outro, no que se refere ao status discursivo ao qual pertencem os enunciados que constituem os regimes de visibilidade do artístico em circulação no espaço virtual? Tal encaminhamento consolida o desafio de ler diferentes materialidades significantes ou, mais precisamente, de ler discursivamente, na urdidura heterotópica do artístico, as tramas vetoriais do político entretecido nas demandas do social, com o objetivo de compreender o modo como se constituem as modalidades enunciativas dessas arquiteturas hipermidiáticas. Nesse empreendimento, ao vislumbrar a relação amalgamada entre a linguagem, a arte, a cultura e o político, confirmou-se a tese de que, ao passar pelos processos sociotécnicosemióticos que permitem sua (re)materialização no espaço virtual, a materialidade da arte e de seu espaço de visitação passam a vigorar em outra ordem discursiva, não só na da instituição museológica, mas também na da política de acessibilidade cultural.

Full textAbstract:
Member States started adopting carrier liability regulations from the mid-1980s, seemingly as a direct response to increasing numbers of asylum requests, with immigration liaison officer (ILO) schemes proliferating afterwards. Techniques of ‘remote control’ have now been communautarised, providing an additional layer of control. Both carriers and ILOs have privileged access to migrants bound to the EU already at the pre-entry phase. Making them responsible for the anticipated enforcement of visas has the potential to block lines of regular (and safe) access to those in need of international protection. This chapter is concerned with these developments. It analyses carrier sanctions and ILOs legislation, comparing the EU regime with its international counterparts. The review encompasses the pre- and post-Schengen periods as well as recent innovations concerning the automated treatment and transfer of advance passenger information (API) and the creation of ‘Frontex liaison officers’. The impact of carrier sanctions and ILO activities on refugee flows is scrutinized at the end, pointing at a structural incompatibility of advance border enforcement, through a model of ‘imperfect delegation’/’hidden coercion’, with basic guarantees against denial of entry.

Full textAbstract:
Plínio Salgado foi uma das figuras mais relevantes da história da direita brasileira no século xx. Nascido em São Bento do Sapucaí (sp) em 1895, foi um importante escritor modernista e político ligado ao Partido Republicano Paulista na década de 1920. Nos anos de 1930, fundou o principal movimento fascista surgido no Brasil, a Ação Integralista Brasileira. Como líder integralista, esteve em primeiro plano na política nacional, até ser derrotado e exilado em Portugal por Getúlio Vargas. No pós-guerra, participou ativamente na política dos anos de 1940 e 1950 e, depois de 1964, tornou-se apoiador do regime militar. Entender a vida de Plínio Salgado é, em boa medida, entender a história do Brasil e do mundo no século xx. Este livro é um exercício biográfico que busca reconstruir a vida de Salgado em sua integridade. Ao contrário da maioria dos textos que trataram de sua vida e obra, ele não se restringe ao período integralista, englobando toda a sua vida e os diferentes papéis que ele desempenhou. O conteúdo é baseado em ampla pesquisa bibliográfica, tendo sido consultados arquivos brasileiros e de outros países, como Itália, Portugal, Estados Unidos e Reino Unido.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on SCIRI (SAIRI), the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq, created by Tehran, and the utilization by the Iranian government of SCIRI in 1982–2003, in the context of the Iran-Iraq war, and in the 1990s. Tehran utilized exiled Shi’i clerics, headed by Ayatollah Mohammad Baqir al-Hakim, in outreach with Iraqi prisoners of war and refugees; in matters of security and military operations against Iraq; in outreach and public relations; and in altogether advancing Iranian goals vis-à-vis Iraq. The status of al-Hakim and the reference to Ayatollah al-Sadr underscored religious veneration as a source of authority and influence over the Shi’i diaspora. This chapter also shows how the theoretical model applies in the political setting of a theocracy with elements of democracy, and how it is not limited to democratic regimes.

Full textAbstract:
The issue of human rights presents a dilemma for the discipline of international relations (IR) in general and the literature on international institutions in particular. Since international human rights institutions are primarily, but not exclusively, concerned with how states treat their own citizens, they seek to empower individual citizens and groups vis-à-vis their own governments. A major concern is whether such institutions make a difference for the protection and promotion of human rights. This concern has spawned a series of research questions and some major lines of enquiry. The study of human rights regimes has developed at the interface between IR and international law, along with the norms and practices of global human rights institutions. In addition, human rights has been institutionalized globally through the United Nations system and the connections between the development over time of international human rights institutions on the one hand, and their relative effectiveness in shaping human rights behavior on the other. The development and impact of international human rights law and policy have also been influenced by regionalism. While the research on human rights regimes has provided important insights into the role of institutions in narrowing the gap between the rhetoric and practice of human rights, there are crucial areas that need further scholarly attention, such as the domestic actors and institutions that act and could potentially act as “compliance constituencies” and conduits of domestic implementation linking international human rights norms to domestic political and legal institutions and actors.

Full textAbstract:
The authors study a wide range of hybrid inflation-targeting (IT) and managed exchange rate regimes, analysing their implications for inflation, output and the exchange rate in the presence of various domestic and external shocks. To this end, the chapter presents an open economy New Keynesian model featuring sterilized interventions in the foreign exchange (FX) market as an additional central bank instrument operating alongside the Taylor rule, and affecting the economy through portfolio balance sheet effects in the financial sector. The chapter shows that there can be advantages to combining IT with some degree of exchange rate management via FX interventions. Unlike ‘pure’ IT or exchange rate management via interest rates, FX interventions can help insulate the economy against certain shocks, especially shocks to international financial conditions. However, managing the exchange rate through FX interventions may also hinder necessary exchange rate adjustments, e.g., in the presence of terms of trade shocks.

Full textAbstract:
The world wars were important ‘pacemakers’ of welfare state development in Germany—first and foremost via special wartime or post-war benefit regimes. Veterans’ pensions and reinsertion after World War I and compensation of various war victims after World War II massively increased social spending for decades. Whenever war did have a significant impact on the core welfare state programmes (i.e. the big social insurance schemes), it was through indirect and long-term rather than direct, short-term dynamics. Labour mobilization via the involvement of trade unions and the significant expansion of wartime social assistance and social services during World War I, for example, paved the way for the expansion of the welfare state in the Weimar Republic (such as unemployment insurance in 1927). Social policy during World War II targeted benefits towards soldiers’ families and ethnic German victims, but it was far from the ‘dictatorship of favours’ Götz Aly describes.

As boas ideias e inciativas acabam transpondo barreiras que inicialmente se apresentam como insuperáveis. Assim foi o primeiro contato que tivemos na OAB do Rio Grande do Norte com Amanda Câmara e sua Comissão de Direito da Moda (Fashion Law). Implantada ao apagar do triênio anterior, seu funcionamento veio carregado de críticas e preconceitos que precisaram ser vencidos da melhor maneira possível: apresentando resultados. E dentre eles, o advento desta obra pioneira sob muitos aspectos, que reúne estudiosos das diferentes vertentes que compõem o Direito da Moda. Num mundo de mudanças e surpresas que se apresentam a cada dia, nada mais oportuno do que uma obra que trata essencialmente de inovações tecnológicas na indústria e nos serviços vinculados à moda. Muitos são os ângulos que prendem o interesse dos estudiosos no assunto, cujo resultado final é a extraordinária operação desenvolvida para atender as incessantes e mutáveis necessidades diárias das pessoas à tudo que acontece no mundo da moda. O relevo dado aos valores culturais e de qualidade de vida na produção de moda estão destacados nesta obra, contribuindo sobremaneira para qualificar cada vez mais o resultado do trabalho desenvolvido. A grande complexidade do mercado, quer pelas vias tradicionais de circulação de produtos entre continentes, regidos por acordos de comércio entre empresas e entre nações, quer pelo quase infinito mundo de possibilidades virtuais, como estão se consumando as relações mercantis mais recentes, são observadas nesta obra com relevo nas repercussões jurídicas e das relações contratuais e de trabalho, reflexos estes identificados em todas as nações do planeta. Dois importantes pilares da vida moderna, as consequências ambientais das relações de produção, especialmente as industriais e também a forma de assegurar um consumo equilibrado e satisfativo de necessidades humanas sem excessos e desperdícios predatórios, são da essência dos estudos produzidos com foco na atividade de moda. Certo é que os estudos aqui coordenados pela Profa. Amanda Câmara trazem, pelo seu valioso conteúdo, indiscutível contribuição a tantos quantos necessitam de informações relevantes sobre o contexto da atividade moda, absolutamente associado à vida moderna que todos nós estamos atravessando.

Full textAbstract:
Neste livro analisam-se diferentes repertórios de atuação do Estado Novo no campo das obras públicas, da arquitetura ao urbanismo, passando pela intervenção em monumentos nacionais. Congregando vinte autores de distintas gerações e formações, pretende-se oferecer um ponto de situação, ainda que sempre parcelar e provisório, do conhecimento sobre os múltiplos programas desenvolvidos durante o regime, os quais tiveram, a diversas escalas, consequências na organização do espaço e do território português. Potenciar a sua leitura integrada constitui um dos principais objetivos deste volume. Em segundo lugar, visa-se evidenciar, acolhendo como vantajosa a existência de múltiplos posicionamentos analíticos, os denominadores comuns e os territórios de dissenso, os diferentes referentes teóricos e metodologias mobilizadas para compreender este objeto de estudo multifacetado. Rejeitando possíveis leituras unívocas, a materialização deste retrato poliédrico da historiografia nacional procura, antes, contribuir para (re)imaginar um horizonte de investigação, idealmente transdisciplinar, comparativo e colaborativo.

Full textAbstract:
The state social contract relationship between rulers and the ruled in civil society is fruitfully understood as a governing convention. This relationship is modeled with an indefinitely repeated Humean Sovereignty game, where subjects and their sovereign maintain a governing convention by respectively obeying and providing adequate government. The ruled and their rulers maintain an implicit contract that is self-enforcing rather than an explicit contract requiring third-party enforcement. This model is motivated by the Trust problem in game theory and dynamic programming models of employment search. The governing convention idea has roots in Hume’s discussions of government. The closely allied Leadership Selection problem has roots in Hobbes’ account of commonwealth by institution. Hobbes’ original analysis fails, but his general strategy of justifying government by identifying an isomorphism between an actual regime and the regime of hypothetical choice motivates justifying democratic government via the salience of a democratic leadership convention.

The growth, distribution, and variability of phytoplankton populations in the North Atlantic are primarily controlled by the physical environment. This chapter provides an overview of the regional circulation of the North Atlantic, and an introduction to the key physical features and processes that affect ecosystems, and especially plankton, via the availability of light and nutrients. There is a natural seasonal cycle in primary production driven by physical processes that determine the light and nutrient levels, but the pattern has strong regional variations. The variations are determined by persistent features on the basin scale (e.g. the main currents and mixed layer regimes of the subtropical and subpolar gyres), as well as transient mesoscale features such as eddies and meanders of fronts.

Full textAbstract:
The second chapter covers the main characteristics of transition time in the four countries: Italy, Greece, Spain, and Portugal. After developing the theoretical model on paths of transition, with a focus on social movement participation, the chapter looks at social movements and protest events as turning points during transition, covering in particular the specific movement actors, their organizational models, and their repertoires of action and frames. The chapter focuses on two dimensions: the role of mobilization in the transition period, which implies the analysis of how elites and masses interact, ally, or fight with each other in the process, and the outcome of transitions as continuity versus rupture of the democratic regime vis-à-vis the old one. It concludes by elaborating some hypotheses on how different modes of transition may produce different types and uses of (transition) memories.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the role of the United Nations and its related institutions for global ocean governance, including those established by the entry into force of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). It first considers the main issues that these institutions have addressed, ranging from sustainable fisheries, via ecosystem protection, to marine biodiversity conservation; and more recently, maritime security. It then argues that the impacts of climate change have arguably not been directly addressed by either the global ocean governance regime, as it is currently constituted, nor by the climate change regime, at least until recent developments through the 2015 Paris Agreement relating to adaptation and mitigation measures in direct response to sea-level rise and the effects of ocean acidification. The chapter proceeds by discussing UNCLOS and its related legal instruments, UN Conferences and Summit on sustainable development, and the role played by the UN General Assembly (UNGA) in global ocean governance.

Full textAbstract:
Il presente volume unisce storia religiosa e prospettiva di genere offrendo percorsi di vita femminile consacrata tra adeguamento alla norma, intraprendenza in seno alla comunità, conflitti e concezioni diverse della spiritualità. Vicende complesse vissute tra XVIII e XIX secolo sullo sfondo di due rivoluzioni: la prima in seno al convento, che vide opporsi due fazioni capitanate rispettivamente dalla madre fondatrice e dalla figlia del fondatore; la seconda, epocale, che portò alla fine dell’Antico Regime nei territori della vecchia Confederazione elvetica e che diventò per le orsoline una controrivoluzione agguerrita per la riconquista della loro vita di comunità. I preziosi documenti manoscritti di mano femminile qui editi – in particolare il libro degli "Annali" – fanno luce sulla società dell’epoca: redatti in una minuziosa e preziosa cronistoria permettono di entrare all’interno di un Collegio orsolino e di coglierne le diverse sfaccettature, illustrandone la varietà e la densità delle relazioni e i giochi di potere. Non da ultimo, consentono di riflettere sulla literacy e sulla agency di donne cattoliche provenienti da regioni alpine.
