The 1812 Aponte Rebellion in Cuba and the Struggle against Atlantic Slavery
In 1812 a series of revolts known collectively as the Aponte Rebellion erupted across the island of Cuba, comprising one of the largest and most important slave insurrections in Caribbean history. Matt Childs provides the first in-depth analysis of the rebellion, situating it in local, colonial, imperial, and Atlantic World contexts. Childs explains how slaves and free people of color responded to the nineteenth-century "sugar boom" in the Spanish colony by planning a rebellion against racial slavery and plantation agriculture. Striking alliances among free people of color and slaves, blacks and mulattoes, Africans and Creoles, and rural and urban populations, rebels were prompted to act by ...
On Reconstructing Grammar
This book shows how to combine grammaticalization theory with the comparative method to reconstruct the grammar of Proto-Languages. To showcase the methodology, seven morphosyntactically distinct verbal systems in the Cariban family--three ergative, three nominative, and one inverse--are reconstructed. Spike Gildea presents detailed data in his reconstruction of Proto-Carib verbal and nominal morphologies. The inverse verbal system reconstructs to Proto-Carib; the other six are innovative, and reconstruct to Proto-Carib nonfinite source-constructions.

Political Institutions and Democracy in Portugal
This book examines how patterns of political representation, party system, and political culture have changed in Southern Europe following the “Great Recession” of 2008. It draws on the experience of Portugal to argue that austerity measures have significantly deepened the legitimacy crisis of democratic institutions, but the resilience of party system is remarkable in comparison. The case of Portugal present some interesting differences from other southern European democracies, since on one hand it suffered a deep economic crisis and the consequent bailout from the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank and the European Union, but on the other hand the party system remained stable. Nevertheless the impact of the crisis did reinforce a centre-periphery cleavage within the European Union, and especially in the Eurozone, Portugal is a central element of this new cleavage notoriously aggravated by Brexit.
Contributo para o conceito e a natureza das entidades administrativas independentes
A globalização e o aprofundamento da União Europeia estiveram na origem da Reforma do Estado. O Estado Regulador Contemporâneo incorpora, na sua organização administrativa, entidades administrativas independentes. Em Portugal, as entidades administrativas independentes integram a Administração Pública na categoria de administração independente do Estado. As entidades administrativas independentes com estatuto de independência “forte”, bem como as entidades administrativas independentes com funções de regulação da actividade económica nos sectores privado, público e cooperativo, são estruturas da organização administrativa, devendo ser qualificadas como parte da Administração Pública Independente. Em Portugal a ERC, o Banco de Portugal, o Provedor de Justiça, a Procuradoria-Geral da República e os Conselhos Superiores da Magistratura e do Ministério Público não são entidades administrativas independentes.
The Decline of Private Law
This book is a large-scale historical reconstruction of liberal legalism, from its inception in the mid-nineteenth century, the moment in which the jurists forged the alliance between political liberalism and legal expertise embodied in classical private law doctrine, to the contemporary anxiety about the possibility of both a liberal solution to the problem of political justification and of law as a respectable form of expert knowledge. Each stage in the history is a moment of synthesis between a substantive and a methodological idea. The former is the liberal political theory of the period, purporting to provide a solution to the problem of political justification. The latter is a concepti...
Participation in EU Rule-making
The limited scope of participation in the making of EU law remains a continued source of controversy, featuring prominently in recent institutional and political developments that have been shaping the EU's constitutional framework - most intensely in the follow up of the Commission's White Paper on Governance. Yet little attention has been paid to participation rights as a means of ensuring the procedural protection of persons affected by EU regulation in its diverse forms. This is a dimension of the rule of law that has been largely ignored by EU legislative and judicial bodies. Not only the legislator, but also the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance tend to adhere to excessi...
From Beneath the Volcano
In 1980 El Salvador was plunged into a bloody civil war, and Luis Campos, a peasant farmer, found himself drawn into a deadly political maelstrom of guerrilla fighting for twelve years. In this collection of fascinating and revealing oral histories, Gorkin and Pineda portray the personal and social lives of Luis and his family, who for the past eighteen years have been working to rebuild their lives in their new community beneath the Guazapa volcano. Luis, his mother, his wife, his in-laws, his children, and some neighbors recall in a simple and often eloquent manner their experiences of everyday life before, during, and after the civil war. Nina Bonafacia, Luis’s mother, tells of the days...
Repartição de Funções entre Administração e Juiz e Tutela Jurisdicional Efectiva na Execução da Pena - Contributo para um Modelo Conforme à Constituição e ao Direito Internacional
A presente obra ocupa-se do problema da repartição de funções entre Administração e Juiz na execução da pena privativa da liberdade. Tem como objectivo averiguar da existência de reservas de competência, quer do Juiz, quer da Administração, na fase da execução da pena e estabelecer critérios para a definição do domínio funcional de cada um daqueles órgãos intervenientes na execução. Pretende igualmente apurar, a partir do direito constitucional e do direito internacional, as exigências de tutela jurisdicional efectiva dos cidadãos privados da liberdade e questionar se a singularidade do universo penitenciário justifica características específicas da tutela a oferecer áqueles. Os critérios apurados servirão de parâmetro a uma análise crítica do ordenamento português relativo à execução da pena de prisão. À luz dessa análise, e colhendo inspiração em outros lugares do ordenamento jurídico português, bem como em exemplos do direito comparado, procura-se dar um contributo para um modelo de repartição de funções e de tutela jurisdicional em conformidade com as exigências constitucionais e jurídico-internacionais.
