A Multidimensionalidade da Paz
No ano em que se celebra o décimo quinto aniversário do programa de doutoramento em Política Internacional e Resolução de Conflitos (PIRC), este livro recolhe contributos dos/as nove primeiros/as doutores/as nele formados/as. Os ensaios agora publicados são sínteses das teses de doutoramento defendidas no programa e dão nota, por isso, do património de reflexão inicial construído neste contexto e que, desde então, tem vindo a ser acrescentado e aprofundado temática e metodologicamente. Através destes nove estudos, é partilhada com a comunidade de leitores uma leitura do mundo que tem a construção de uma paz multidimensional como seu foco e que exprime os caminhos percorridos nos primeiros quinze anos por este laboratório de debate e de reflexão que é o Doutoramento PIRC. Expressando a pluralidade de abordagens que é assumida por este programa doutoral, este conjunto de estudos adota ângulos diversos de abordagem da centralidade dessa paz exigente e multidimensional no sistema internacional contemporâneo.
Os estados e a ordem internacional contemporânea
A perspetiva estatocêntrica que, com raízes na modernidade europeia, tem norteado o discurso dominante sobre a realidade internacional, carece de um olhar criterioso sobre a diversidade dos Estados em concreto e sobre o impacto dessa heterogeneidade nos conteúdos e alcance do Direito Internacional. Foi esse o sentido da organização do V Encontro Luso-Espanhol de Professores de Direito Internacional e Relações Internacionais e deste livro. Nele se acolhem focagens complementares sobre as condicionantes políticas e institucionais do Direito Internacional e da sua aplicação. Inspirados pelo desafio de um Direito para o totus orbis, que Francisco de Vitoria adotou como referência da juridicidade internacional emergente no seu tempo, as comunicações ao V Encontro que agora se publicam mostram a atualidade desse pensamento e retomam, de formas necessariamente diferentes, os questionamentos que a realidade da diferença entre os Estados coloca cada vez mais a esse ideal moderno.
O humanitarismo em mudança
Esta obra pretende mapear e analisar os principais debates em torno do humanitarismo, seus propósitos e dilemas fundamentais. A partir de uma contextualização ao nível da evolução da conflitualidade internacional e das raízes históricas da ideologia humanitária e seus princípios fundamentais, identificam-se as marcadas diferenças entre o humanitarismo originário – de ambição eminentemente socorrista e cujo alcance obedece a um código de princípios como a imparcialidade e a independência – e o humanitarismo de agenda ampla, entrecruzado com as políticas de pacificação, de construção institucional ou de desenvolvimento. Esta análise pretende igualmente abrir espaço para uma reflexão mais aprofundada sobre o lugar e papel da ação humanitária, seus atores e princípios, no quadro de lógicas de intervenção e intervencionismo global, bem como sobre os desafios que se colocam à teoria e prática da ação humanitária e os dilemas que a atravessam.
The Construction of the Customary Law of Peace
This thought-provoking book explores the emerging construction of a customary law of peace in Latin America and the developing jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. It traces the evolution of peace as both an end and a means: from a negative form, i.e. the absence of violence, to a positive form that encompasses equality, non-discrimination and social justice, including gendered perspectives on peace.
Education for Democratic Citizenship
The International Seminar on Education for Democratic Citizenship (EDC) Policies and Regulatory Frameworks, which took place in Strasbourg December 6th and 7th 2002, revolved around three main objectives: to review policies and practices in the EDC field in Europe, to facilitate European co-operation for EDC policy-making and implementation between countries, national and international organisations and practitioners, and to draw up proposals for the future development of education for democratic citizenship. In this report, Karen O'Shea summarises the keynote addresses of the seminar and the results of the working groups. She also presents her own synthesis and analyses of discussions and conclusions. -- Council of Europe.
Before Emergency: Conflict Prevention and the Media
This book is about two prominent issues: conflict prevention, and the media. Conflict prevention is a challenging concept for the media because journalists normally work on current affairs: reporting what is going on now, not trying to change the course of events in the medium or long term. However, the media can also play a determinant role in conflict prevention by providing swift and reliable information of emerging or potential conflicts to local and external actors. Governments, international organizations and public opinion alike need in-depth understanding of pre- and post-conflict social, economic, cultural and political environments in order to fully understand the benefits and feasibility of preventive policies.
Crisis, Austerity and Transnational Party Cooperation in Southern Europe
The most internationalist of all party families, the radical left has paradoxically always lagged behind in its cooperation at the EU level. The previous decade, however, the transnational character of the Eurozone crisis and its austerity-centred management provided a strong incentive to remedy that. By focusing on the relations between three prominent members of this party family at the time (SYRIZA, Podemos, Left Bloc), this book shows how and why the transnational cooperation on the radical left largely failed to deliver in a propitious context. With implications for the study of other party families, the book lays out the key factors that prevented the European radical left from coming together to provide an alternative to the neoliberal status quo in the EU.
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.
Reinventing Democracy
The studies gathered in this volume focus on Portuguese society, from the creative social and political experimentation by citizen and popular movements during the revolution of 1974/75 to more recent episodes of alternative economic organisation, popular mobilization over the claim of local populations to self-government, local environmental conflicts, transformations in trade-unionism, transnational solidarity movements and citizen participation on territorial planning. They explicitly explore the relationships and tensions between difference and equality, citizenship and difference, state/society relationships and local identities and European integration as part of broader processes of globalisation and of the emergence of new experiences of active citizenship. This volume was previously published as a special issue of the journal South European Society and Politics.
One Country, Two Systems, Three Legal Orders - Perspectives of Evolution
“One Country, Two Systems, Three Legal Orders” – Perspectives of Evolution – : Essays on Macau’s Autonomy after the Resumption of Sovereignty by China” can be said, in a short preamble-like manner, to be a book that provides a comprehensive look at several issues regarding public law that arise from, or correlate with, the Chinese apex motto for reunification – One Country, Two Systems – and its implementation in Macau and Hong Kong. Noble and contemporary themes such as autonomy models and fundamental rights are thoroughly approached, with a multilayered analysis encompassing both Western and Chinese views, and an extensive comparative law acquis is also brought forward.
