Sustainability in Public Procurement, Corporate Law and Higher Education
Contemporary changes in law and policy at the global level to efficiently answer to environmental and social issues correspond to the traditional approach of limiting the regulatory and policy changes to a singular field or discipline: tackling the inherent unsustainability of corporate laws or incentivising the offering of sustainable finance to stimulate the transition towards sustainable practices. This book provides a new viewpoint and approach of simultaneously regulating seemingly non-connected fields in order to provide a fertile ground for a truly organic change towards sustainable outcomes. It addresses diverse questions of sustainable transition of the three specific fields to supp...

Legal Interpretation and Scientific Knowledge
This book discusses the question of whether legal interpretation is a scientific activity. The law’s dependency on language, at least for the usual communication purposes, not only makes legal interpretation the main task performed by those whose work involves the law, but also an unavoidable step in the process of resolving a legal case. This task of decoding the words and sentences used by normative authorities while enacting norms, carried out in compliance with the principles and rules of the natural language adopted, is prone to all of the difficulties stemming from the uncertainty intrinsic to all linguistic conventions. In this context, seeking to determine whether legal interpretat...
Direito e Política Ambiental no Brasil
A obra que ora se apresenta à comunidade jurídica nacional e internacional é resultado de uma soma de justas homenagens ao Prof. José Afonso da Silva, o que se deve ao seu pioneirismo e grande contributo à ciência jurídica pátria, especialmente no que tange ao direito constitucional ambiental. É consenso que do Texto Constitucional de um país fluem as principais diretrizes e balizas para a construção do edifício estatal. Trata-se, portanto, da mais basilar estrutura normativa destinada a reger relações públicas e privadas, sendo "o farol" para a realização de inúmeras políticas ambientais específicas. Neste contexto, convém destacar um fato curioso: a Lei Federal no 6.9...

Migration Law in Portugal
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this monograph on the rules on immigration and right of residence of non-nationals in Portugal examines the legal and administrative conditions for persons not having the citizenship of a State to enter the country and to stay and reside there. It provides a survey of the subject that is both usefully brief and sufficiently detailed to answer most questions likely to arise in any pertinent legal setting. It follows the common structure of all monographs appearing in the International Encyclopaedia for Migration Law, thus allowing easy comparison between the country studies. As migration and economic activities are of...
