O Estado Regulador: o novo papel do Estado
Nos últimos anos tem-se assistido a importantes transformações no âmbito do Direito Administrativo, grande parte das quais motivada por uma alteração do papel do Estado na economia e na sociedade contemporâneas. Essa alteração, ao invés de significar uma redução das funções do Estado, deu lugar ao aparecimento de um novo modelo de Estado: o Estado Regulador. A presente dissertação parte da análise desse novo modelo de Estado, no contexto dos movimentos de liberalização e de privatização dos tradicionais serviços públicos económicos prestados em rede, para, no quadro da moderna teoria jurídica da regulação, questionar de que forma a assunção de novas funções pelo Estado implica uma alteração dos conceitos, bem como dos instrumentos jurídicos usados pelo Direito Administrativo. A análise teórica é complementada pelo exame de um caso de estudo paradigmático fornecido pelo sector da energia português (electricidade e gás natural).

The Paradox of Professionalism
This book is about the role of lawyers in constructing a just society. Its central objective is to provide a deeper understanding of the relationship between lawyers' commercial aims and public aspirations. Drawing on interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives, it explores whether lawyers can transcend self-interest to meaningfully contribute to systems of political accountability, ethical advocacy and distributional fairness. Its contributors, some of the world's leading scholars of the legal profession, offer evidence that although justice is possible, it is never complete. Ultimately, how much - and what type of - justice prevails depends on how lawyers respond to, and reshape, the political and economic conditions in which they practise. As the essays demonstrate, the possibility of justice is diminished as lawyers pursue self-regulation in the service of power; it is enhanced when lawyers mobilize - in the political arena, workplace and law school - to contest it.
Novos Territórios do Direito
A noção de europeização, em matéria jurídica, abre caminho ao exame não apenas do corpo do direito emanado da União Europeia (o «direito europeu»), mas também da interacção deste com os direitos nacionais. A noção de globalização obriga-nos a analisar as formas emergentes de legalidade e de legitimidade internacionais e inquirir até que ponto, na ausência de um verdadeiro direito global, elas se adequam à necessidade de regular uma economia e uma sociedade globalizadas. Quer a europeização, quer a globalização apelam assim à revisão de teorias e me¬todologias de análise tradicionais que tendiam a encarar os direitos nacionais como sistemas fe¬chados. A ciência jurídica deve hoje abrir-se à consideração dos novos territórios do direito – a Europa, o globo – e das mudanças que a sua formação vem imprimindo nos conteúdos legislativos, assim como nos modos de produzir e praticar o direito.

In Spite of You
In October 2018 Brazilians elected Jair Bolsonaro as their new president. A former army officer who served under the military dictatorship, Bolsonaro has spent his political career campaigning against democracy and human rights. His notoriety comes from his repeated racist, sexist and homophobic statements and his defense of torture, extra-judicial executions and impunity for Brazil´s security forces. Bolsonaro is sometimes described as a “Tropical Trump.” But this wording greatly underestimates the threat that he poses to Brazil´s still young and fragile democratic institutions. In Spite of You brings together voices of the new Brazilian resistance. It includes chapters by Dilma Rouss...
