"É com muita alegria que apresentamos o quarto volume da coletânea intitulada "Ministério Público Estratégico" com o título "A Proteção Integral de Crianças e Adolescentes". Cada artigo deste livro é antecedido pelo desenho de uma criança. Crianças e adolescentes foram ouvidos e manifestaram suas opiniões a partir de perguntas disparadoras. Trazer a voz de crianças e adolescentes para refletir sobre suas prioridades é fundamental quando estamos falando da garantia de direitos e, sobretudo, do Estatuto da Criança e Adolescente. As percepções de crianças e adolescentes sobre a importância dessas prioridades e sobre como o Ministério Público pode atuar para a garantia dela...

This groundbreaking work is the first volume in English to examine Brazil's historic policy reforms of the 1990s and the political, economic, and social results. For years the large and ineffective government of Brazil could neither improve the country's greatly uneven distribution of wealth nor maintain inflation at reasonable levels. In the 1990s, long overdue changes bettered the government's fiscal performance, tamed inflation, and addressed chronic social ills stemming from the imbalance of wealth. But many problems, and many questions, remain. Why is Brazil still so poor, and why is inequality so intransigent? Were some of the reforms counterproductive, or could they have been implemented in a more effective way? Collecting essays by top Brazilianist scholars from various disciplines and intellectual traditions, Reforming Brazil provides new insights for international policy makers, economists, and scholars of Brazil.
This open access book is the first attempt to elaborate the formalization phase of banking supervision in eight developed countries—USA, Japan, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, France, and UK. This innovative study in the field of banking supervision history identifies why national histories of banking supervision share similarities, but also remain different and are heavily path dependent. This book will be of great interest not only to financial/economic historians but also to general readers interested in banking supervision, i.e., students, bankers, supervisors, and international officials.
Family-owned businesses account for many of the small and medium-sized enterprises that exist around the world in various industries. Due to their unique make up, these firms are often heavily influenced by family dynamics that must be reconciled by family and non-family workers alike in order to ensure the sustainability of the business. As smaller businesses competing against an increasingly globalized economy and more directly impacted by economic instability, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, these businesses must continue to improve their practices and processes in order to not only survive but thrive. The Research Anthology on Strategies for Maintaining Successful Family...

Este livro escancara o debate sobre a violência policial que dizima, cotidianamente, dezenas de jovens negros, indígenas e periféricos. Foi forjado na militância da autora no Movimento Mães de Maio desde que seu irmão, Paulo Alexandre Gomes de 23 anos, foi vítima de desaparecimento forçado, após abordagem policial, durante os Crimes de Maio de 2006. A obra traz um estudo contundente acerca da Polícia no Brasil; dos movimentos sociais de familiares de vítimas da violência, formados por mulheres que perderam seus filhos executados, sumariamente, pela Polícia Militar Paulista e o debate sobre as mídias alternativas que se contrapõem a mídia hegemônica burguesa. É uma importante contribuição para o Serviço Social brasileiro ao demonstrar a imprescindibilidade da articulação da profissão aos movimentos sociais, fazendo valer o princípio da defesa intransigente dos Direitos Humanos.
