Elite Perceptions of Poverty and Inequality
The researchers who have written this volume are clear not only that mass poverty is still the leading humanitarian crisis in developing countries, but that, if effective policies are to be put in place, the national elites who control governments and economies need to be convinced of both the reasons why reducing poverty is in their own and the national interest, and that public action can make a difference. Remarkably, in the rapidly growing literature on poverty, this volume is the first to use survey techniques to explore Third World elites' attitudes to poverty. Five cases - intended to be broadly representative of the diversity of situations in developing countries - were chosen: Brazi...
Brazil in the Geopolitics of Amazonia and Antarctica
From a pioneering perspective, the book contributes to the state-of-the-art contemporary Geopolitics by bringing together Amazonia and Antarctica in a single interdisciplinary volume. Three key issues are 1) the interconnectedness between these vital regions, 2) non-linearity, because they may lead to unpredictable effects on the Earth system, and; 3) emergence, which means the varied interactions between Amazonia and Antarctica may lead to unique results.
Civil Procedure in Brazil
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this convenient volume provides comprehensive analysis of the legislation and rules that determine civil procedure and practice in Brazil. Lawyers who handle transnational matters will appreciate the book’s clear explanation of distinct terminology and application of rules. The structure follows the classical chapters of a handbook on civil procedure: beginning with the judicial organization of the courts, jurisdiction issues, a discussion of the various actions and claims, and then moving to a review of the proceedings as such. These general chapters are followed by a discussion of the incidents during proceedings...
Audible Geographies in Latin America
Audible Geographies in Latin America examines the audibility of place as a racialized phenomenon. It argues that place is not just a geographical or political notion, but also a sensorial one, shaped by the specific profile of the senses engaged through different media. Through a series of cases, the book examines racialized listening criteria and practices in the formation of ideas about place at exemplary moments between the 1890s and the 1960s. Through a discussion of Louis Moreau Gottschalk’s last concerts in Rio de Janeiro, and a contemporary sound installation involving telegraphs by Otávio Schipper and Sérgio Krakowski, Chapter 1 proposes a link between a sensorial economy and a p...

50 anos da Teoria Geral do Processo no Brasil
Quando ainda estava na faculdade – e talvez por um arroubo juvenil de quem apenas estava iniciando seus estudos de direito processual –, disse ao meu chefe de estágio que a teoria geral do processo precisava ser totalmente revista. Meu chefe, o hoje consagrado processualista Ricardo Alexandre da Silva – talvez por sua excessiva cordialidade ou por não querer me desincentivar –, não questionou a afirmação. Com seu profundo conhecimento de direito processual teria sido fácil desconstruir a intuição pouco embasada de um jovem estudante.
CONTRATO DE NAMORO, AUTONOMIA PRIVADA E INCIDÊNCIA DA UNIÃO ESTÁVEL
Direito de família e contratos entre namorados: será que existe uma sintonia entre eles ou, a depender do caso, um afastamento entre conceitos e princípios, em especial a autonomia privada e a união estável, por exemplo? A pergunta acima formulada, dentre outras várias que serão trazidas e respondidas na presente obra, tem ligação direta com o que atualmente se denomina de contrato de namoro, ou de escritura pública de namoro.
Medidas Executivas
Na presente obra, pretende-se analisar esse embate entre os litigantes quanto à incidência de medidas atípicas à luz da proporcionalidade. Intenta-se relacionar a possibilidade de incidência desses meios para o devido e tempestivo cumprimento da obrigação pelo inadimplente, observando-se a relação de meio e fim que é disposta pelo critério proposto e segundo os vetores advindos da doutrina. Para o desenvolvimento do caminho a ser trilhado, inicialmente, será analisada a proporcionalidade, mormente no que se refere a sua importância e seus vieses. Passo seguinte, serão examinadas as medidas executivas atípicas, em uma abordagem que envolverá justificativa para a respectiva exi...
