Os serviços cemiteriais e funerários foram declarados serviços públicos municipais pelo STF (ADI 1221, Plenário, Rel.: Min. Carlos Velloso, Julg.: 09/10/2003), tendo em vista o disposto no art. 30, inc. V, da Constituição da República. Apesar dessa decisão, ainda há questionamentos doutrinários a respeito da constitucionalidade de leis municipais que lhes atribuem o caráter de serviço público, bem como quanto à forma de prestação dos serviços que ainda são de titularidade estatal e se dão mediante concessão ou permissão.

A geração de energia proveniente da fonte solar mostrou alto crescimento no Brasil nos últimos anos, sobretudo pela notória queda dos preços da tecnologia solar fotovoltaica. Em menos de uma década, tornou-se uma das fontes renováveis mais competitivas do país, inclusive nos leilões de energia. Além disso, há grande incidência de irradiação solar por todo o território brasileiro, fazendo com que o país tenha alta aptidão para esta fonte.

Who shapes the European Union's policy towards Latin America? How has this EU policy modified individual member states' relations with the region? This book provides a comparative account of seven member states' bilateral links with Latin America since 1945, in the context of their EU membership and based on the concept of 'Europeanization'. It illustrates how and why the main architects of this EU policy have been Spain and Germany. In contrast, Poland, Sweden and Ireland, which had little previous interaction with Latin America, have developed their current relations with that region virtually as a result of their EU membership. The United Kingdom and France lie in the middle: they have been influential in certain policy-areas and key periods in history, while they have adapted to what is done at the EU level in others. Practitioners, established academic experts as well emerging scholars in the field bring to be bear a novel combination of pioneering research and cutting edge conceptual analysis on this important but neglected area of the EU's foreign relations.
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
