Cosmopolitanism in the Portuguese-Speaking World
This book addresses different dimensions of cosmopolitanism in the Portuguese-speaking world which have caused much debate, such as migration and globalisation. The volume includes contributions from leading specialists in History, Musicology, Literary Studies, Anthropology and Political Sciences. It focuses on specific processes in Brazil, Portugal, West Africa, Angola, and other parts of the world, from the sixteenth century to the present. Central topics are intercontinental trading elites, the cultural impact of forced and voluntary migration, the republic of letters, the possibilities created by freemasonry and liberalism, the adaptation of the Azorean Holy Ghost Feast to the United States, international links of conservative politicians, the international projection of the new Angolan elite, architecture and urban planning. Contributors are: Vanda Anastácio, Cátia Antunes, Paulo Arruda, Francisco Bethencourt, Toby Green, Philip J. Havik, David R. M. Irving, João Leal, Giovanni Leoni, Ricardo Soares de Oliveira, António Costa Pinto, and Phillip Rothwell.
Extradition Law
In Extradition Law, Miguel João Costa offers not only an exhaustive review of this legal area and of transnational criminal law more generally, but also innovative solutions for their reform. The book critically analyses numerous themes – from international cooperation in criminal matters to substantive criminal law and procedure, from human rights to nationality and refugee law, from public to private international law – at the national, European and global levels. Moreover, while it is a fundamentally normative study, it does not disregard the political and diplomatic dimensions of extradition either. The result is a new model based on mutual respect, enabling States to increase cooporation whilst preserving the integrity of their own criminal justice values and enhancing the respect for human rights.
Produzir e Beber
No clima de instabilidade, que marcou a década de 30 do século XX, os produtores de vinho portugueses mobilizaram-se para exigir do Estado a resolução dos problemas que os afectavam. Desde o século XVIII que a vinha e o vinho constituíam uma "riquezas nacional", que nenhuma força política podia ignorar. Este livro mostra como a combinação dos impactos da Grande Depressão e do processo de consolidação da ditadura de carácter fascista criaram oportunidades para satisfazer as aspirações dos maiores produtores de vinho de mesa. Em Portugal, durante o Estado Novo, estes concentravam-se sobretudo nas regiões do Oeste, Ribatejo e Bairrada.
MEDIDAS DE COAÇÃO. Teoria e Prática
Este livro aborda as medidas de coação em todas as suas dimensões e problemas, desde os seus grandes princípios constitucionais aos mais pequenos problemas práticos suscitáveis com a sua aplicação e execução. Essencialmente no âmbito processual penal (quer o regime geral previsto no Código de Processo Penal, quer os existentes em regimes especiais de natureza penal em legislação avulsa), nos processos nacionais, mas também no âmbito da cooperação judiciária internacional em matéria penal, no âmbito contraordenacional e até nos processos de natureza administrativa, como sucede com os processos de afastamento coercivo e de expulsão de estrangeiros e nos processos de concessão de asilo ou proteção subsidiária.
Politics and Policies in the Debate on Euthanasia
This book analyses the political and public debates about euthanasia in Portugal. Utilising petitions submitted to Parliament, legislative bills, parliamentary debates, opinion articles in newspapers, and documents published by the Catholic Church, it examines this sensitive issue through the theoretical lens of morality politics. It does so by studying the process of political dispute between advocacy coalitions formed by political parties and societal actors. This is the first book to comprehensively analyse a morality issue in Portugal, a predominantly Catholic country that has taken an innovative and liberal stance on many morality issues over the last two decades. It will appeal to students and scholars of sociology, political science, public policy and bioethics, as well as policymakers and other interest groups.
Nobres soldados D'el Rei
Nobres soldados d'El Rei consolida resultados de uma investigação sobre o perfil social e as trajetórias administrativas de governadores e capitães-generais do Estado do Maranhão e Grão-Pará, tema ao qual o autor se dedica há anos. Como sugere o título, o livro privilegia os agentes e não os seus feitos durante a governação daquela circunscrição separada do Estado do Brasil e diretamente subordinada a Lisboa.
