O livro busca elucidar um importante (mas pouco falado) instituto jurídico, que é o whistleblowing. Importado dos EUA, onde registra resultados paradigmáticos na recuperação de dinheiro desviado e na descoberta de grandes fraudes contra o consumidor, o whistleblowing inspira cuidados na sua aplicação, a fim de que não se torne inócuo para o resultado ao qual se destina, que é primariamente o combate à corrupção. Essa, globalmente entendida como um fenômeno de consequências perversas, é resistente aos instrumentos utilizados pelo aparato estatal desde que seu enfrentamento se iniciou. Utilizando a Análise Econômica do Direito, esta obra pretende encontrar o ponto onde eficiência e garantismo atingem um equilíbrio ótimo. Tópicos abordados no livro Combate à Corrupção e Whistleblowing Uma Análise de sua Eficiência: >Histórico da corrupção no Brasil e nos EUA >Pioneiro estudo profundo do whistleblowing >Relações entre Direito Penal e Economia >Eficiência no processo penal
As ferramentas de fiscalização atualmente à disposição do Estado, dada a evolução dos esquemas ilícitos e abusivos, cada vez mais elaborados e complexos, ao avanço tecnológico e à globalização, não têm conseguido combater de forma eficaz tais práticas, o que resulta em um rombo cada vez maior dos cofres e numa precarização dos serviços públicos com graves reflexos para a justiça tributária e a concorrência. Com base em tal cenário e na análise de práticas internacionais de reconhecido sucesso, o autor faz uma incursão no instituto do whistleblowing, expondo como a adoção desse instituto, ainda incipiente no Brasil, pode contribuir para que haja uma maior participação popular no combate aos crimes e abusos contra a ordem tributária. Esta obra, resultado de um grande empenho de pesquisa e observações práticas do Autor, não apenas preenche uma lacuna doutrinária, mas também oferece uma trilha para um sistema tributário mais justo e transparente, servindo como um guia essencial para juristas, acadêmicos e profissionais comprometidos com a defesa do patrimônio público e a construção de um sistema tributário eficaz e equitativo.
Mexican cinema has largely been overlooked by international film scholars because of a lack of English-language information and the fact that Spanish-language information was difficult to find and often out of date. This comprehensive filmography helps fill the need. Arranged by year of release and then by title, the filmography contains entries that include basic information (film and translated title, production company, genre, director, cast), a plot summary, and additional information about the film. Inclusion criteria: a film must be a Mexican production or co-production, feature length (one hour or more, silent films excepted), fictional (documentaries and compilation films are not included unless the topic relates to Mexican cinema; some docudramas and films with recreated or staged scenes are included), and theatrically released or intended for theatrical release.
This is the first comprehensive, annotated edition in English of Anthony Knivet's 1625 travel account.
Luis Buñuel (1900-1983) was one of the truly great film-makers of the twentieth century. Shaped by a repressive Jesuit education and a bourgeois family background, he reacted against both, escaped to Paris, and was soon embraced by André Breton's official surrealist group. His early films are his most aggressive and shocking, the slicing of the eyeball in Un Chien andalou (1929) one of the most memorable episodes in the history of cinema. The Forgotten Ones (1950) and He (1952), made in Mexico, were followed, from 1960, in Spain and France, by the films for which he is best known: Viridiana (1961), Belle de jour (1966), Tristana (1970), The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972), and That Obscure Object of Desire (1977). Gwynne Edwards analyses the films in the context of Buñuel's personal obsessions - sex, bourgeois values, and religion - suggesting that the film-maker experienced a degree of sexual inhibition surprising in a surrealist. GWYNNE EDWARDS is Professor of Spanish at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth.
