Capitalism, Democracy, Socialism: Critical Debates
This book critically analyzes the current historical conjuncture of neoliberal capitalism with an eye to its emergent alternatives. Can democracy and capitalism thrive together? Is socialism a viable and a desirable alternative? What are the forms of emancipatory action and critical thought that can effectively chart a way forward? Focusing on nine “critical debates” it provides a uniquely comprehensive overview of the tensions, contradictions, and latent emancipatory potential of contemporary global capitalism. The specific debates are as follows: capitalism’s relationship with democracy; privatization and governance of the commons; the financialization of capitalism; technology and the future of work; varieties of neoliberal capitalism; cosmopolitanism, international development, and human rights; feminist theory and social solidarity; sustainability and climate change; and theories of capitalist crisis.
A Política dos Direitos Autorais no Brasil
Os direitos autorais se referem à dimensão da propriedade intelectual que versa sobre a cultura, ou seja, o conjunto de direitos que incidem sobre obras literárias, artísticas e científicas. Como um campo que movimenta um largo volume de capital e renda, as discussões sobre políticas públicas envolvem diferentes segmentos com interesses frequentemente antagônicos. Este livro atende a dois objetivos. O primeiro se refere à reflexão sobre os mecanismos de defesa de interesses, entre eles o lobby e seus impactos nas políticas públicas. Nesse sentido, a obra expõe os meios dos quais diferentes agentes sociais dispõem para participar das decisões públicas de modo a trazer uma ref...
Direitos fundamentais & metodologia da pesquisa: volume 3
Esta coletânea é constituída por temas sobre Direitos Fundamentais e Metodologia, decorrente de estudos desenvolvidos pelos pesquisadores da Universidade Federal do Ceará, oportunizando aos leitores reflexões enriquecedoras e fomentando a compreensão aprofundadas desses temas essenciais em seus diversos aspectos, tais como cultural, social e político, bem como no contexto teórico e fático.
O voto dos excluídos
O presente livro tem como tema e objetivo a análise da incapacidade eleitoral ativa nas hipóteses de suspensão dos direitos políticos por condenação criminal e atos de improbidade administrativa, no Brasil, e sua compatibilidade com o Estado de Direito Democrático. A partir de revisão bibliográfica, buscam-se as premissas fundamentais sobre o Estado de Direito e a participação do povo no Poder, sobre a importância do voto popular em um regime democrático e sobre o próprio processo de ampliação do sufrágio em favor das pessoas (do restrito ao universal). A partir dessas premissas, busca-se verificar se é incompatível com o Estado de Direito Democrático a interpretação que limita o voto (capacidade eleitoral ativa) dos adultos capazes cujos direitos políticos são temporariamente suspensos nas hipóteses previstas na Constituição de 1988.
Authoritarian Constitutionalism
The contributions to this book analyse and submit to critique authoritarian constitutionalism as an important phenomenon in its own right, not merely as a deviant of liberal constitutionalism. Accordingly, the fourteen studies cover a variety of authoritarian regimes from Hungary to Apartheid South Africa, from China to Venezuela; from Syria to Argentina, and discuss the renaissance of authoritarian agendas and movements, such as populism, Trumpism, nationalism and xenophobia. From different theoretical perspectives the authors elucidate how authoritarian power is constituted, exercised and transferred in the different configurations of popular participation, economic imperatives, and imaginary community.
Spatial Impacts of Climate Change
Climate change has been a central concern over recent years, with visible and highly publicized consequences such as melting Arctic ice and mountain glaciers, rising sea levels, and the submersion of low-lying coastal areas during mid-latitude and tropical cyclones. This book presents a review of the spatial impacts of contemporary climate change, with a focus on a systematic, multi-scalar approach. Beyond the facts – rises in temperature, changes in the spatial distribution of precipitation, melting of the marine and terrestrial cryosphere, changes in hydrological regimes at high and medium latitudes, etc. – it also analyzes the geopolitical consequences in the Arctic and Central Asia, changes to Mediterranean culture and to viticulture on a global scale, as well as impacts on the distribution of life, for example, in the Amazon rainforest, in large biomes on a global scale, and for birds.
#Housing2030: Effective Policies for Affordable Housing in the UNECE Region
The study explores housing affordability challenges and existing policy instruments for improving housing affordability in the regions covered by UNECE and presents examples of "good practices" in improving housing affordability among countries and cities. The study focuses on four topics, namely: housing governance and regulation; access to finance and funding; access and availability of land for housing construction; and Climate-neutral housing construction and renovation.
Cerebellar Degenerations: Clinical Neurobiology
This book encompasses basic and clinical reports on the cerebellum and its primary atrophic disorders, the cerebellar degenerations. Rapid progress has been made in undestanding the organization and function of the cerebellum at the neuronal, synaptic, and molecular level. Of particular importance has been the identification of the chemical transmitters utilized by the cer ebellar cellular systems. More than any other brain region, the cerebellum utilizes amino acids as its main excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters. Excitatory amino acid transmitters, in addition to serving neuronal com munication, may also mediate trophic and toxic effects, and as such, they may playa role in neurode...
Ecology and Conservation of the Maned Wolf
Wolves are controversial figures worldwide and much effort has focused on how to conserve them while addressing public concerns. With its solitary habits and fruit-eating diet, the endangered maned wolf roams the South American grasslands and swamps, playing a vital part in maintaining biodiversity hotspots. Compared to the grey wolf, little is known about its relationship with local people and the environment and the reasons for its decline, making research about this unique species an urgent concern. Ecology and Conservation of the Maned Wolf: Multidisciplinary Perspectives gathers the work of leading researchers from diverse disciplines and countries, covering up-to-date research on the b...
