The Namban Trade
Winner of the prize "Fundação Oriente – Embaixador João de Deus Ramos" of the Academia de Marinha 2021 This book attempts to depict certain aspects of the Portuguese trade in East Asia in the 16th and 17th centuries by analyzing the activities of the merchants and Christian missionaries involved. It also discusses the response of the Japanese regime in handling the systemic changes that took place in the Asian seas. Consequently, it explains how Jesuit missionaries forged close ties with local merchants from the start of their activities in East Asian waters, and there is no doubt that the propagation of Christianity in Japan was a result of their cooperation. The author of this book attempted to combine the essence of previous studies by Japanese and western scholars and added several new findings from analyses of original Japanese and European language documents.
Constitutional Identity and Constitutionalism in Africa
In its modern history, Africa has experienced different waves of constitutional ordering. The latest democratisation wave, which began in the 1990s, has set the stage over the past decade for what is now a hotly debated issue: do recent, new, or fundamentally revised constitutions truly reflect an African constitutional identity? Thoughtfully navigating a contested field, this volume brings to the fore a number of foundational questions about African constitutionalism. Constitutional Identity and Constitutionalism in Africa asks whether the concept of constitutional identity clarifies our understanding of constitutional change in Africa, including an exploration of the relationship between c...
Abuse of Rights
The book is an adaptation of part of the author's PhD thesis, which won the international prize Prémio FIBE, and was voted one of the three best in Brazil, in the field of Law, in 2023. It deals with the history of the notion of abuse of rights, in its two traditions: the Franco-Belgian (abus de droit) and the German (unzulässige Rechtsausübung). It also presents the discourse of abuse of rights with a 'shortcut' function. Finally, it places the scientific formulation of groups of cases as necessary for the proper use of the abuse of rights discourse.

Education Law and Policy in an Urban Society
Just how fascinating the discussion between the disciplines of education law and education policy can be was apparent at the Annual Congress of the European Education Law and Policy Association (ELA) in Rotterdam in December 1997. Although, on this occasion, the option was for an education policy subject, a multidisciplinary approach is always to be preferred. Policy-makers interrogate lawyers; lawyers question scientists from other fields of study and lines of practice. It was, at the same time, a further illustration of how inspiring and productive - in the context of the European Union at any rate - comparative analyses can be for national and international education and social policy. The theme of the 1997 Congress and consequently of this Yearbook, was urban education policy and its legal form as the touchstone of the modern interpretation of individual and social rights. This collection of thought-provoking essays and country reports thus centres on the question: what challenges for education do urban associations represent?

Curso de Direito Romano
Quando, em 2009, foi publicada a primeira edição deste Curso de Direito Romano, a disciplina estava em fase de afirmação após um período difícil de exclusão curricular, estagnação científica e instabilidade docente. Desde os anos 60 do século passado, nenhum dos docentes da disciplina de Direito Romano na Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de Lisboa tinha publicado um livro didático com a exposição do seu programa, destinado aos alunos. Foi a essa lacuna que o Curso quis dar resposta, explicando esse hiato e lembrando as diferenças entre as épocas universitárias, os contextos jurídicos e o estado da investigação, retomando o fio de uma história disciplinar com tradiç...
