"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...
Tenth in a series of annual reports comparing business regulation in 185 economies, Doing Business 2013 measures regulations affecting 11 areas of everyday business activity: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, closing a business, and employing workers. The report updates all indicators as of June 1, 2012, ranks economies on their overall “ease of doing business”, and analyzes reforms to business regulation – identifying which economies are strengthening their business environment the most. The Doing Business reports illustrate ...
The book examines the rapprochement between Greece and Eastern Europe during the Cold War.

Using primary sources from Greece, Eastern European States, Cyprus, NATO, the United States, Germany and United Kingdom, this book provides historical and foreign policy analysis of a tumultuous period in the Eastern Mediterranean. The book first illustrates Greece's position in the Cold War confrontation before moving to more detailed analysis of the Eastern Bloc's policies towards Greece and Cyprus with an emphasis in the harmonious relationship between the Gr...
Flevoland has a unique collection of Land Art, including De Groene Kathedraal by Marinus Boezem, Observatorium by Robert Morris and Riff, PD#18245 by Bob Gramsma.0These Land Art works once stood in the empty polder, but are now part of a dynamic landscape transformation. Views on art and its social significance have also changed in the five decades this book covers. This raises questions about the preservation of the works and of the collection as a whole. 0'Land Art Live. The Flevoland Collection' sheds light on the Land Art in Flevoland. A younger generation of artists was asked to use performances to connect with the original meaning of the Land Art works. In addition, experts in the field of visual art, heritage and landscape provide ideas with which the future of this exceptional collection and the landscape can be shaped. Land Art Live can also be used as a guide when visiting this extraordinary open-air museum.
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 work begins with a boy named Geraldo growing up Sicilian in Rochester, New York, and ends with the author breakfasting with Eleanor Roosevelt in the White House. It is a portrait of what it was like to come of age in the 1930s and 1940s.
The book assesses U.S. foreign relations in the Indo-Pacific during the Trump Administration, with a particular focus on the regional powers’ response to Trump's “America First” policy. The chapter authors draw on the theoretical insights from dominant International Relations theories – (Neo)Realism, Liberal Institutionalism, and Constructivism – to explain both continuities and discontinuities found in the regional powers’ security and foreign economic policies before and during the Trump Administration. The book will be of interest to new and advanced students of International Relations, Asian Studies, and U.S. foreign policy. The multi-national perspectives of the regional experts offer penetrating analyses of the likely legacy (or lack thereof) of the range of political, security, and trade policy initiatives launched by the Trump Administration and its implications for the balance of power, regional institutions, and national identity-informed approaches to international relations in the Indo-Pacific.
India and the European Union bear a particular responsibility: as international relations change, not least because of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the two largest democracies in the world have the unique potential to jointly demonstrate that trusting cooperation and mutual understanding are both indispensable and fruitful—all the more so in the context of increasing national egoism and disregard for the fundamental principles of multilateralism. This realisation is not new. Believing in the necessity and mutual benefit of close cooperation, India and the EU struck a strategic partnership in 2004. But resounding success in forging closer bilateral ties and promoting an inclusive, rules-ba...
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.
