Lawfare — Judicial Warfare in Spain
For centuries, the Spanish state has proved to be an expert system for repressing political dissent and any threat that could jeopardize the maintenance of the status quo. It has done so using all the institutions and all the areas of power that were necessary, for the end has always justified the means. Carles Mundo, Catalan Minister of Justice, 2016-2017. There is no book in Spain that talks about lawfare. Nor is there a book that deals with the system of judicial repression of political dissidence deployed by the Franco regime. Nor is there a book that denounces the judicial system inherited from the dictatorial regime and that was later embodied in the 1978 Constitution. Lawfare (the com...
Prosecuting and Punishing Multi-Offenders in the EU
This book elaborates on the rules governing the prosecution and sentencing of multi-offenders. The term ‘multi-offender’ is used for an offender that has committed a series of offences (either in one single act or in different acts); hence the addition of ‘multi’ in ‘multi-offender’. A crucial element thereto is that the whole series of offences – which make the offender a multi-offender – has been committed before being subject to a final conviction. A comparative EU-study was conducted, focussing on the rules governing multi-offenders within different EU Member States. It reveals that this type of offenders challenge both the legislator and the prosecution and judges: when ...

From Angel to Office Worker
2019 Thomas McGann Award for best publication in Latin American Studies In late nineteenth-century Mexico a woman's presence in the home was a marker of middle-class identity. However, as economic conditions declined during the Mexican Revolution and jobs traditionally held by women disappeared, a growing number of women began to look for work outside the domestic sphere. As these "angels of the home" began to take office jobs, middle-class identity became more porous. To understand how office workers shaped middle-class identities in Mexico, From Angel to Office Worker examines the material conditions of women's work and analyzes how women themselves reconfigured public debates over their e...
Encyclopedia Corruption in the World
The publication of this Encyclopedia by Professor Judivan J. Vieira, PhD, is driven more by mission than editorial pursuits. The research is composed of five volumes, and it is the result of the author’s willful work in a field of study that has been his passion since his graduation in law school in 1993. Corruption is inherent to the human being, and according to the author, it is a metastatic cancer capable of destroy any social doctrine, even our democracies. Throughout the five volumes, Judivan Vieira analyzes the various perspectives of this social “disease” that menaces hegemonic and underdeveloped countries. In the last volume of the Encyclopedia, the author offers the solution to remediate this disease of the soul, which prevents social well-being and relegates us to live in formal democracies that do not provide the minimum of social dignity peoples of the world deserves.
