Bribery, Fraud, Cheating
In the fight against organizational malpractice and organized crime, both international guidelines and national regulations have become stricter.

International Relations and Heritage
Patchwork in times of plurality encompasses the multitude of actions as a revealing symbol of ethos, actors, organisms, and manifestations of preservation and dialogue frontiers. This plural metaphor, almost like a patchwork, aggregates and yet segregates, conforms, but disfigures, and boosts the meanings which represent this new field that international relations have been recently crossing. Just like the mirror metaphor - that reflects everything to all and, sometimes, intervenes in distortions - the patchwork analogy allowed the book to take responsibility for the disclosure of preservation actions on a global scale.

This book investigates right-wing populism in Brazil. It is a unique study of the major protest movements of the New Right that dominated the streets of São Paulo from 2014 to 2018 and acted as a prelude to Jair Bolsonaro’s election. Examining the populist rhetoric that circulated among the movements’ online followers, McLean reveals the formation of different right-wing publics and gives insight into the topics that have the greatest impact on public political debate. Through interviewing multiple activists and observing them at political events, McLean also exposes motivations for engaging in political action and demonstrates how the movements act as media vehicles of the New Right.

Long Road to Obsolescence
In the nineteenth century American Presbyterians were among the many Western denominations that sent missionaries to countries around the world. They established foreign Missions as bases in those lands with the intention of starting indigenous churches there. Although the Mission structures were designed to function like scaffolding during the construction of a building, to be removed when the building is complete, the Presbyterian Mission structure in Brazil remained in place for 126 years, long after the Brazilian Presbyterian Church it founded became independent and self-supporting. It was the last of the Presbyterian Missions in the world to be dissolved. The story told here documents the contributions made by North American Presbyterians in Brazil and tackles the missiological question of just why it remained in place so long, and whether it should have.
Corruption in Latin America

In detailed chapters written by experts with extensive in-country experience, it reveals the political and economic roots and consequences of corruption in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Peru. The editor’s introduction and conclusion texts synthesize their work and provides an over-arching view of corrupt practices and anti-corruption initiatives throughout Latin America. Corruption in Latin America shows the extent to which corrupt practices engulf each of the countries discussed, the involvement of political and corporate entities in the pursuit of ill-gotten gains, and the drag on development caused by corruption in each political entity. The book will be of interest for social scientists, political actors and social activists involved in the fight against corruption in Latin America by providing in-depth analyses of the topic and discussing how best to pursue anti-corruption efforts through civil society actions, judicial endeavors, legal shifts, or elections.

Responsabilidade penal por omissão imprópria dos membros integrantes do Conselho de Administração das sociedades por ações
A obra pretende avaliar, comparar e identificar as hipóteses em que os membros integrantes do Conselho de Administração das Sociedades por Ações poderão ser responsabilizados penalmente pela posição individual ou coletiva que adotarem nas deliberações do colegiado. Inicialmente definido como órgão colegiado de deliberação e fiscalização, passou a assumir instância de confirmação ou mesmo de autorização dos atos de gestão. Nesse viés, a conduta delitiva poderá ser resultado da omissão imprópria, nos casos em que o conselheiro administrativo deixa de agir quando deveria fazê-lo por expressa determinação legal, do regimento interno ou do estatuto da sociedade. Na atuação fiscalizatória, o Conselho de Administração terá a prerrogativa de nomear comitês ou, ainda, indicar a atuação de um departamento de compliance como medida de delegação das atribuições de monitoramento de riscos. Será possível refletir sobre as circunstâncias que rompem o nexo de causalidade bem como identificar a verdadeira extensão da responsabilidade: pela vigilância dos atos de gestão ou sobre toda e qualquer fonte de perigo dentro da empresa.
