Você já se perguntou por onde começar a estudar política? Entender os principais termos utilizados nos debates, jornais e internet é o primeiro passo para compreender o que acontece no país. Política é uma parte significativa na vida de todos os cidadãos e, ao contrário do dito popular, deve sim ser discutida, e a melhor forma de se fazer isso é ter conhecimento do que se fala. Organizado por André Rehbein Sathler e Malena Rehbein Sathler, o livro 150 termos para entender política busca desmistificar conceitos de uma forma clara e acessível, e, assim, contribuir com a construção da cidadania ativa e o fortalecimento da democracia no Brasil. A publicação é uma excelente ferramenta para todo cidadão que quer compreender as decisões que impactam a vida em comunidade e o exercício dos direitos na sociedade.
Reunindo os olhares de pesquisadores do Mestrado Profissional em Poder Legislativo da Câmara dos Deputados e de estudiosos de outras instituições, nacionais e internacionais, o livro apresenta múltiplas perspectivas sobre o Parlamento brasileiro no primeiro quarto de século de vigência da Constituição Cidadã.

Resultado do programa de doutorado interinstitucional realizado pelo Centro de Formação, Treinamento e Aperfeiçoamento da Câmara dos Deputados em parceria com o Instituto Universitário de Pesquisas do Rio de Janeiro, a publicação reúne artigos que tratam das relações entre o Poder Executivo e o Poder Legislativo e das questões relacionadas à comunicação legislativa e à democracia.
This book examines democratic innovations from around the world, drawing lessons for the future development of both democratic theory and practice.
Taking a multidisciplinary approach that they identify as a "cyber-realist research agenda," the contributors to this volume examine the prospects for electronic democracy in terms of its form and practice--while avoiding the pitfall of treating the benefits of electronic democracy as being self-evident. The debates question what electronic democracy needs to accomplish in order to revitalize democracy and what the current state of electronic democracy can teach us about the challenges and opportunities for implementing democratic technology initiatives.
The study of law and politics is one of the foundation stones of the discipline of political science, and it has been one of the most productive areas of cross-fertilization between the various subfields of political science and between political science and other cognate disciplines. This Handbook provides a comprehensive survey of the field of law and politics in all its diversity, ranging from such traditional subjects as theories of jurisprudence, constitutionalism, judicial politics and law-and-society to such re-emerging subjects as comparative judicial politics, international law, and democratization. The Oxford Handbook of Law and Politics gathers together leading scholars in the field to assess key literatures shaping the discipline today and to help set the direction of research in the decade ahead.
The essays collected in this book address legislation from the viewpoint of legal theory and provide an overview of current research in legisprudence as a new scholarly approach to lawmaking. The overall focus of the volume is on the justification of legislation, with a special emphasis on the intricate notion of legislative rationality. With the rational justification of legislation as their central theme, the essays elaborate on the foundations and bounds of legislation and the search for a more principled lawmaking, discuss the role of legislation within the framework of democratic constitutionalism, analyze legislation as implementation of constitutional law, and explore how legislative argumentation in parliament can be construed as a source of justification of laws.
The present debate in legal theory is dominated by an unfruitful schism. On the one hand, analytical theories are concerned with the positivity of law, running the risk of missing the law's relation to society. On the other hand, sociological approaches analyze all sorts of social interactions of law, but have developed no conceptual tools to do justice to the autonomy of law. The theory of autopoiesis offers law a chance of getting round the falsely posed alternative between an autonomous rule system or a socially conditioned decision-making process. It is a theory of law that sees the law's autonomy in the self-reproduction of a communication network and understands its relation to society as interference with other autonomous communication networks. Building on the ideas of Humberto Maturana, Heinz von Foerster and Niklas Luhmann, Gunther Teubner uses the concepts of self-organization and autopoiesis to develop a concept of law as a hypercyclically closed social system. This book will stand as a landmark in legal theory and become a standard point of departure in the sociology of law.
This book establishes legisprudence, in contrast to jurisprudence, as a legal theory of rational law-making. It suggests that by rejecting the common wisdom about the nature of political law-making, legislation could be improved and streamlined. Using the methods, theoretical insights and tools of current legal theory and philosophy of law in a new way, the book suggests the creation of law by legislators rather than government. Raising new questions and problems of the validity of norms, the book opens a new perspective on legitimacy of norms, their meaning and the structure of the legal system. In distinguishing legitimacy and legitimation of law, the book ventures into the philosophical roots of legal theory and suggests the articulation of a new conception of sovereignty. In shifting the emphasis to the position of the legislator and legislation, this book opens a number of new insights into the relationship between legislative problems and legal theory. Its main claim is that legislation should be justified by the legislator.
