Ubuntu: Interdisciplinary Conversations Across Continents is a collection of work by 17 scholars emerging from the Ubuntu Dialogues Seminar Exchange Fellowship hosted by Stellenbosch University in South Africa and Michigan State University in the US between 2019 and 2022. This collaborative work brings new voices and new ways of interrogating a concept that holds possibilities for living together differently. The contributions problematise the concept in provocative and surprising ways and disrupt narrow and superficial interpretations of Ubuntu. --- The contributors to this book foreground critical issues which are fundamental towards a deeper understanding of the notion of ubuntu. – Dr Sithembele Marawu, University of Fort Hare This book features next generation rising stars from places such as South Africa, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Burundi, and the US, writing about ubuntu, the indigenous southern African term often used to capture African philosophy, especially its moral dimensions. A fresh, kaleidoscopic engagement with ubuntu. – Professor Thaddeus Metz, University of Pretoria
Nations around the world are facing various crises of ineffective government. Basic governmental functions—protecting rights, preventing violence, and promoting material well-being—are compromised, leading to declines in general welfare, in the enjoyment of rights, and even in democracy itself. This innovative collection, featuring analyses by leaders in the fields of constitutional law and politics, highlights the essential role of effective government in sustaining democratic constitutionalism. The book explores “effective government” as a right, principle, duty, and interest, situating questions of governance in debates about negative and positive constitutionalism. In addition to providing new conceptual approaches to the connections between rights and governance, the volume also provides novel insights into government institutions, including courts, legislatures, executives, and administrative bodies, as well as the media and political parties. This is an essential volume for anyone interested in constitutionalism, comparative law, governance, democracy, the rule of law, and rights.
This volume offers the first dedicated scholarly comparison of Colombia and South Africa in relation to the intersecting ideas of transitional justice, distributive justice, and transformative constitutionalism.

Conhecer o impacto desse conhecimento na atividade jurisdicional e as técnicas específicas para identificar e saber lidar com os problemas causados pelos vieses cognitivos é uma habilidade que todo profissio...
Cerca de dez anos separam os primeiros estudos de processo estrutural no Brasil dos últimos, como este fruto de obra coletiva agora prefaciada, intitulada Processos Estruturais no Sul Global. Acaso contarmos a primeira tradução de Owen Fiss1 – Um novo processo civil: estudos norte-americanos sobre jurisdição -, e contabilizando os trabalhos envolvendo processo civil de interesse público, que culminaram no projeto de lei 8.058/14, o marco temporal referido seria alargado, mas não muito. Isso significa que, em pouco tempo em termos de história, muito se caminhou, e não foi uma caminhada desorientada, mas paulatina e com um objetivo bastante delimitado, qual seja, o da melhoria de condições sociais de uma população ainda sedenta por exercer seus direitos minimamente garantidos pela Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil.
In Pregnancy Law in South Africa, the author explores the question of whether it is possible to regard pregnancy in law as embodying both women and the unborn and whether the pregnancy can be construed in a way that it does not come to be framed as an adversarial relationship.
