Este trabalho visa investigar as disposições constitucionais e infraconstitucionais da iniciativa legislativa popular nos atuais Estados Constitucionais do Brasil e da Espanha, com o objetivo de, ao final, apresentar propostas para o aperfeiçoamento legislativo sobre o assunto no Brasil. Para tanto, o ponto de partida será uma análise dos vínculos entre o Estado Constitucional e a democracia, assim como o entrelaçamento do macroprincípio da dignidade da pessoa humana e dos direitos políticos, a partir da perspectiva da existência de uma crise de democracia no Estado Constitucional brasileiro. O ponto de partida é um diagnóstico da democracia contemporânea a partir de uma perspec...
O prazo de trinta dias no CPC/73 passou a ser de um mês, consoante se lê do § 3º do art. 539 do CPC;2015. Chama a atenção, no § 1º (originário do Projeto da Câmara), a supressão da exigência de que a conta na qual é feito o depósito tenha correção monetária. Certamente, não será o caso de querer interpretar o dispositivo, no sentido de o valor depositado ser levantado sem correção monetária, isto é, apenas nominalmente.
O nome dado ao Livro I da Parte Especial não poderia ser mais adequado: ‘Do processo de conhecimento e do cumprimento de sentença’. Por isso, após a disciplina do ‘procedimento comum’, que ocupa o Título I daquele Livro (arts. 318 a 512), o Título II (arts. 513 a 538) traz a disciplina relativa ao cumprimento de sentença. O novo CPC consagra, assim, a irreversível tendência experimentada pelo direito processual civil brasileiro desde as Reformas pelas quais o CPC/73 começou a passar desde 1994, um modelo de processo sincrético, em que as atividades relativas ao reconhecimento do direito aplicável ao caso e à sua efetivação concreta desenvolvem-se em um mesmo processo sem solução de continuidade. É correto, por isso mesmo, o entendimento de que o processo sincrético divide-se em fases ou etapas (não necessariamente lineares ou sucessivas): uma voltada ao reconhecimento do direito, outra à sua efetivação.
Written in three parts, War Trilogy is a dazzling and anarchic exploration of social relations which offers thought-provoking ideas on our perceptions of humanity, history, violence, art and science. The first part follows a writer who travels to the small, uninhabited island of San Simon, where he witnesses events which impel him on a journey across several continents, chasing the phantoms of nameless people devastated by violence. The second book is narrated by Kurt, the fourth astronaut who secretly accompanied Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins on their mythical first voyage to the moon. Now living in Miami, an ageing Kurt revisits the important chapters of his life: from serving in the Vietnam War to his memory of seeing earth from space. In the third part, a woman embarks on a walking tour of the Normandy coast with the goal of re-enacting, step by step, the memory of another trip taken years before. On her journey along the rugged coastline, she comes across a number of locals, but also thousands of refugees newly arrived on Europe's shores, whose stories she follows on the TV in her lodgings.
A corrupção institucionalizada e a ineficiência administrativa contribuem de forma decisiva para o fortalecimento da crise de representatividade democrática do Estado brasileiro. Faz-se necessário compreender, em harmonia com a ordem constitucional de que todo o poder emana do povo, que o respeito aos princípios regentes da Administração Pública é essencial à superação desse inegável hiato que historicamente se formou entre representantes e representados. A adoção de escolhas responsáveis vinculadas ao direito fundamental à boa administração se mostra igualmente indispensável nessa trajetória de mudanças. E para que o Estado justifique sua razão de existir e cumpra o ...
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
This report provides a detailed economic assessment of the magnitude and sources of the economic benefits to Brazil since the early 1980s from varietal improvements in upland rice, edible beans, and soybeans. The authors pay particular attention to isolating the benefits from genetic improvement, which they distinguish from other factors that change grain yield or quality. They use detailed information on the genetic and breeding histories of each crop and the institutional arrangements for crop-improvement research in Brazil to estimate the benefits attributable to the research done by the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) and by other Brazilian agencies. They capture international spill-in effects as well. The authors also provide more general insight into the importance of addressing attribution questions in evaluating public research investments, develop some methods for doing so, and illustrate how to apply them.
From a young Palestinian writer comes this compelling look at the Israel/Palestine conflict, from both the perspective of an Israeli soldier in 1949 as well as that of a young Palestinian woman.
An emblematic story of the shipwreck of the Arab Spring At his father's funeral, to the great consternation of all present, Abdel Nasser beats the imam who is celebrating the funeral rite. The narrator, a childhood friend of the protagonist, retraces the story of "the Italian" from his days as a free and rebellious adolescent spirit to the leader of a student movement and then affirmed journalist. Those were crucial years in Tunisia, years of great tension, change, and repression. Against this background full of revolutionary ferments stands the tormented love story between Abdel Nasser and Zeina, a brilliant and beautiful philosophy student. Their dreams will unfortunately end up being wrecked under the ruthless gears of a corrupt and chauvinist society. Abdel Nasser's transformation from a young idealist with high hopes to a successful, but disillusioned and tired journalist is masterfully narrated in a stream of stories, digressions and flashbacks in which the narrative tension is always high. Winner of the 2015 International Prize for Arabic Fiction
