A presente obra parte do processo de Reforma do Aparelho do Estado ocorrida no Brasil nos anos 90, cuja ideia central era justamente redefinir o papel da Administração Pública, para que esta assumisse uma postura mais gerencial, menos burocrática e mais eficiente, com enfoque no cidadão-cliente. Os serviços públicos não-exclusivos (v.g. ensino, saúde, cultura, etc.) passariam a ser prestados por entes privados fomentados pelo Estado, em atenção ao Princípio da Subsidiariedade. Não à toa, foram criadas as Organizações Sociais (OS), as Organizações da Sociedade Civil de Interesse Público (OSCIPS) e, mais recentemente, a promulgação do Marco Regulatório das Organizações ...

The important and current matter concerning the relation between new technologies and the reality of labor has attracted the interest of academic researchers in the last decades. As of the second half of the 20th century, the third technological revolution has brought so many changes into labor relations that its issues became some of the most investigated themes in the areas of sociology, economy and, obviously, labor law. Moreover, in the first decades of the 21st century, this matter has become all the more relevant as a result of the deeper transformations that new technologies have promoted in social, economic and labor relations. The fourth technological or industrial revolution has shown signs of emergence in the first years of this century. The challenges of some of these deep technological and social innovations are approached in the present academic work, entitled Social and Labor Relations and New Technologies.
This book examines the relation between religion and jurisprudence, God, and peace respectively. It argues that in order to elucidate the possible role religion can play in the contemporary world, it is useful to analyse religion by associating it with other concepts. Why peace? Because peace is probably the greatest promise made by religions and the greatest concern in the contemporary world. Why jurisprudence? Because, quoting Kelsen’s famous book "Peace through Law", peace is usually understood as something achievable by international legal instruments. But what if we replace "Peace through Law" with "Peace through Religion"? Does law, as an instrument for achieving peace, incorporate a...
This volume systematically analyses why legal doctrines for the protection of biodiversity are not sufficiently effective. It examples implementation in Australia and Brazil, two megadiverse countries with very differing legal and cultural traditions and natural environments. Substantial effort goes into the development and interpretation of legal doctrines for the protection of biodiversity in national and international law. Despite this, biodiversity continues in steep decline. Nowhere is this more evident than in megadiverse countries, such as Australia and Brazil, which possess the greatest number and diversity of animals and plants on Earth. The book covers a wide range of topics, inclu...
One of the most imaginative and fascinating artists of eighteenth-century France, Edme Bouchardon (1698-1762) was instrumental in the transition from Rococo to Neoclassicism and in the artistic rediscovery of classical antiquity. Much celebrated in his time, Bouchardon created some of the most iconic images of the age of Louis XV. His oeuvre demonstrates a remarkable variety of themes (from copies after the antique to subjects of history and mythology, portraiture, anatomical studies, ornament, fountains and tombs), media (drawings, sculptures, medals, prints), and techniques (chalk, plaster, wax, terracotta, marble, bronze). With five essays by experts on Bouchardon's sculpture and graphic ...
An investigation of artists' engagement with technical systems, tracing art historical lineages that connect works of different periods. “Machine art” is neither a movement nor a genre, but encompasses diverse ways in which artists engage with technical systems. In this book, Andreas Broeckmann examines a variety of twentieth- and early twenty-first-century artworks that articulate people's relationships with machines. In the course of his investigation, Broeckmann traces historical lineages that connect art of different periods, looking for continuities that link works from the end of the century to developments in the 1950s and 1960s and to works by avant-garde artists in the 1910s and...
