Busca a obra refletir sobre o paradigma do Estado Democrático de Direito, representado de um lado pela democracia - fruto da soberania popular e da concretização de Direitos Fundamentais estampados na Constituição Federal de 1988; e de outro, pelo Estado de Direito - marcado pela primazia da legalidade como forma de controle dos atos estatais e de combate às arbitrariedades dos governantes.

Other options include a rolling program of spending reviews for large and fast-growing programs and efficiency dividends on ministries’ operational expenses. Authorities also need to begin to develop a medium-term budget framework to support strategic decision making.

Between the 1840s and 1860s, they acted on the idea that the end of slavery anywhere placed freedom on the horizon in Brazil. Thus, they pursued alliances with British diplomats; rose in arms at the sight of both Union and Confederate warships off Brazil’s Atlantic coast; sought free soil at foreign consulate...
