Ao longo dos anos de 2020 a 2022, fomos severamente afetados em âmbito mundial pelo advento da pandemia do Coronavírus, tendo por consequência inúmeras transformações nas relações sociais, econômicas, políticas, tecnológicas e culturais, com peculiares repercussões em diversas áreas do Direito. Nesse contexto, o advento da Covid-19 causou grande impacto nas relações humanas, e, por conseguinte, nas relações jurídicas estabelecidas na sociedade contemporânea, especialmente, pelo incremento de novos avanços tecnológicos, pelo processo de digitalização do mundo, pela criação de regimes jurídicos transitórios e emergenciais, surgimento de novos danos, bem como pela nec...
A presente coletânea é fruto de pesquisas e colaborações em rede e em forte interlocução, de pesquisadores de diferentes Universidades e Grupos de Pesquisa, que desde 2012 interagem para o aprofundamento das reflexões acerca dos fenômenos relativos aos impactos jurídico-constitucionais da globalização contemporânea.

Una de las paradojas más crueles que presenta la sociedad internacional actual es la alta tasa de hambre en las zonas rurales. En ellas se concentra hasta las tres cuartas partes de las personas en situación de inseguridad alimentaria severa, como lo muestran datos ofrecidos por las Naciones Unidas. A ello han contribuido numerosos factores, derivados de años, incluso décadas, de desatención y claro olvido.Evidentemente, esta situación, que se traduce en pobreza y, como indicamos, hambre, tiene una mayor presencia en los países en desarrollo, los menos adelantados, pero también países de renta media o desarrollo humano medio, caso de América latina. Ahora bien, con todo, hay que señalar que la referida desatención es general; es un fenómeno global, constatable en la mayoría de los países. Se ve en nuestro propio país, hablándose ahora de despoblamiento rural, España vaciada…
Este libro se centra en integraciones que marcan profundamente las sociedades turboglobalizadas actuales. Son "Fenómenos-inter" que caracterizan un mundo hiperconectado, "aplanado" y donde inevitablemente se comparten tanto los riesgos y peligros, como las posibilidades y esperanzas. Por ello el presente exige avances jurídicos, institucionales, sociales y culturales, que permitan encarar los problemas surgidos de la intensa interrelación. Los análisis aquí seleccionados revelan un amplio espectro de cuestiones inter, trans o multi en lo constitucional, cultural y disciplinar. Incluyen aportaciones, que van desde lo jurídico a lo macrofilosófico, provenientes de un grupo muy diverso de investigadores internacionales. Siempre atienden a los acontecimientos mundiales y a las aportaciones científicas más recientes y proponen respuestas a los graves retos del presente. Toda demora es culpable y debe ser contrarestada con madurez política y audacia intelectual: "¡Sapere Aude!".
How do we become resilient? Three experts provide practical steps for overcoming stress and becoming more resilient to life's challenges.
The speed of technological development, from cell phones to artificial intelligence, opens up exciting new opportunities for promoting human flourishing. It also raises grave risks, threatening not only personal privacy and dignity but also our collective survival. Technologies of Human Rights Representation brings together three fields of research critical to securing our future: changing technologies, human rights, and representation. For each of these fields, this book asks key questions: How can we open the black box of technological advances so that we can more fully understand their effects upon our lives? What can we do to make sure that these effects align with the values of human rights? And how does the way we talk about technology and rights—from military reports and corporate marketing to human rights reports and poetry—amplify or diminish our capacity both to understand and to control what happens next? Contributors from anthropology, communications, criminology, global studies, law, literary and cultural studies, and women and gender studies bring diverse methodological approaches to these crucial questions.
This book presents a comparative study on access to public information in the context of the main legal orders worldwide(inter alia China,France,Germany,Japan,Russia,Sweden,United States).The international team of authors analyzes the Transparency- and Freedom-to-Information legislation with regard to the scope of the right to access, limitations of this right inherent in the respective national laws, the procedure, the relationship with domestic legislation on administrative procedure, as well as judicial protection. It particularly focuses on the Brazilian law establishing the right of access to information, which is interpreted as a benchmark for regulations in other Latin-American states.
This book presents the most comprehensive collection of essays, speeches, and documents, from historical and contemporary sources, available on the subject of human rights.
There is no mention in the European Convention on Human Rights of rights in the field of social security. Nevertheless, the Convention does protect certain of these rights which come into its area of application and this study sets out to explain how. It also examines recent developments in the relevant case-law of the European Court of Human Rights which, as well as affording procedural guarantees, has widened and strengthened the material protection of specific rights. In addition, examples are given of measures taken in the member states following judgments of the Court in cases concerning social security. This sort of judgment is becoming more common, giving the Convention an ever-expanding social aspect which has an important impact at national level.
