Embora promulgada em 1996, a ratificação da constitucionalidade de alguns dos dispositivos da Lei de Arbitragem apenas se deu em 2001. Naquele ano, surgia o Comitê Brasileiro de Arbitragem ("CBAr"), cujo propósito é desenvolver a cultura arbitral e difundir, em termos acadêmicos e práticos, a arbitragem no Brasil. A história da arbitragem no Brasil se confunde com a do CBAr e, para celebrar o 20o aniversário da instituição, a presente obra lança a reflexão sobre a história do futuro da arbitragem. Reunindo artigos dos principais arbitralistas nacionais, a obra, sob a ótica do CBAr, traz a análise da ascensão da arbitragem no Brasil, o exame sobre os desafios atualmente enfrentados no âmbito desse sistema e a investigação das questões a serem confrontadas nos próximos anos. Uma obra imperdível que garante, através do passado, a compreensão do presente, para a vivência futura.

Here, the history of the Indonesian LBT movement is charted, from invisibility, to visibility and now as it moves again into hiding. In the early 1980s, during the oppressive military dictatorship called the New Order in Indonesia, the first organizations of Lesbian, Bisexual and Trans persons were established. They were short-lived, but prepared the ground for a more comprehensive LBT rights movement after the democratic opening of society in 1998. From 2000 to 2015 the visibility of the movement grew, until a vicious state-sponsored backlash set in, driven by majoritarian, fundamentalist Islamist groups. Saskia Wieringa tracks the movement's progress and explores the persistence of the but...
