On Coerced Labor
On Coerced Labor focuses on those forms of labor relations that have been overshadowed by the “extreme” categories (wage labor and chattel slavery) in the historiography. It covers types of work lying between what the law defines as “free labor” and “slavery.” The frame of reference is the observation that although chattel slavery has largely been abolished in the course of the past two centuries, other forms of coerced labor have persisted in most parts of the world. While most nations have increasingly condemned the continued existence of slavery and the slave trade, they have tolerated labor relationships that involve violent control, economic exploitation through the appropriation of labor power, restriction of workers’ freedom of movement, and fraudulent debt obligations. Contributors are: Lisa Carstensen, Christian G. De Vito, Justin F. Jackson, Christine Molfenter, David Palmer, Nicola Pizzolato, Luis F.B. Plascencia, Magaly Rodríguez García, Kelvin Santiago-Valles, Nicole J. Siller, Marcel van der Linden, Sven Van Melkebeke.

On the Correlation of Center and Periphery
The analysis of the relationship between center and periphery is one of many theoretical approaches found in all fields of the Humanities. Looking at this special relationship from several disciplinary perspectives is an effective methodology for establishing connections between various fields of study. Consequently, the issue contains articles dealing with, among others, the Russian enterprise in Alaska, German polar exploration, gender in Islamic contexts in Europe, labor relations, 'economic securitization', cultural nationalism in Ghana, and Robert Rodriguez's movie Machete. The historical perspective of cultural reception, the economic relationship between central and peripheral areas a...
Mecanismos para combate do trabalho análogo ao escravo no Brasil
A presente dissertação trata do trabalho análogo ao da escravidão como contrariedade da dignidade da pessoa humana, levando em conta os critérios de sua erradicação com a análise das políticas internas de contenção. Analisam-se todos os meios utilizados para o combate a esse tipo de trabalho. Realiza-se estudo do Termo de Ajustamento de Conduta (TAC) que as vinícolas Aurora, Salton e Garibaldi celebraram com o Ministério Público do Trabalho (MPT) após terem sido flagradas beneficiando-se de trabalho análogo ao de escravo. Utiliza-se o método hipotético-dedutivo, com revisão bibliográfica, indicação da legislação e jurisprudência pertinentes. Os resultados atingidos com a pesquisa foram demonstrar que os mecanismos jurídicos existentes no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro não são completamente eficazes para combater o trabalho análogo ao da escravidão, embora, em algumas circunstâncias, como aquela verificada na Serra Gaúcha, tenha obtido êxito em pôr fim àquela forma de exploração.
Slavery in the Modern World [2 volumes]
This work is the first encyclopedia on the labor practices that constitute modern-day slavery—and the individuals and organizations working today to eradicate them. Slavery in the Modern World: A History of Political, Social, and Economic Oppression helps bring to light an often-ignored tragedy, opening readers' eyes to the devastated lives of those coerced into unpaid labor. It is the first and only comprehensive encyclopedia on practices that persist despite the efforts of antislavery advocates, nongovernmental organizations, and national legislation aimed at ending them. Ranging from the late-19th century to the present, Slavery in the Modern World examines the full extent of unfree labor practices in use today, as well as contemporary abolitionists and antislavery groups fighting these practices and legislative action from various nations aimed at exposing and shutting down slave operations and networks. The 450 alphabetically organized entries are the work of over 125 of the world's leading experts on modern slavery.

CONSTITUIÇÃO, CONSTITUCIONALISMO E DIREITOS FUNDAMENTAIS
O livro Constituição, constitucionalismo e direitos fundamentais é resultado da convergência de esforços de professores e pesquisadores do Grupo de Pesquisa de iniciativa do Instituto de Direito Constitucional e Cidadania (IDCC). O livro contém trabalhos elaborados pelos membros do grupo de pesquisa: Constituição, constitucionalismo e direitos fundamentais, em parceria com os professores do corpo docente do programa de pós-graduação Lato Sensu em Direito Constitucional Contemporâneo, do Instituto de Direito Constitucional e Cidadania, que há QUASE DUAS DÉCADAS, se dedica a formar especialistas, não somente em Direito Constitucional, mas também outros ramos do Direito. As pesquisas aqui apresentadas, foram desenvolvidas com base nas reuniões de formação realizadas com os membros do grupo, primeiramente por encontros mensais e depois quinzenais, onde foram fomentados debates sobre os textos indicados pela professora coordenadora e também sugeridos pelos próprios pesquisadores, como forma de oferecer aos mesmos, um protagonismo no processo de aprofundamento do conhecimento e a pluralidade de ideias.
