Ao celebrar o Centenário da Comunidade de Faxinal dos Rosa, sentiu-se a necessidade de resgatar a história local, como forma de enaltecer o que as famílias construíram e de reafirmar o compromisso com os valores comunitários. Assim, desenhou-se um roteiro para abordar os diversos elementos da vida em comunidade – desde a chegada dos primeiros moradores, até o desenvolvimento da economia, da religiosidade, da educação, da saúde, do esporte e do lazer. Para dar voz aos protagonistas desse processo e honrar o papel que a participação sempre desempenhou na experiência comunitária, as famílias foram convidadas a narrarem suas próprias trajetórias. O resultado desse trabalho coletivo encontra-se materializado na obra "Faxinal dos Rosa: 100 anos vivendo em comunidade (1918-2018)”
Esta obra coletiva surge com a intenção de compilar alguns dos trabalhos que, em uma perspectiva transdisciplinar, tem se debruçado sobre o tema do direito e das novas tecnologias. Fruto da colaboração desenvolvida no Grupo de Pesquisa "Relações Internacionais, Direito e Poder" da Universidade Comunitária da Região de Chapecó (UNOCHAPECÓ), o livro também conta com o importante apoio de investigadores independentes convidados pelos organizadores com a intenção de oxigenar a multiplicidade de óticas sobre este tema.
Desconsiderar a influência do ser humano na atual situação da Terra significa alienar-se da realidade. Afinal, o indivíduo tem um papel significativo para a ocorrência da maioria dos problemas pelos quais o globo perpassa, desde as mudanças climáticas até mesmo a pandemia do novo coronavírus, funcionando como um verdadeiro parasita no planeta, para dialogar com a Profa. Dra. Bibiana Graeff, que prefacia esta obra. É, portanto, necessário repensar o papel do ser humano e a sua relação com o meio ambiente que o cerca. Tentativas de recompor essa relação existem, sendo os Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável um dos seus mais importantes expoentes. Arquitetado nas Nações Un...
Perpetual economic growth is physically impossible on a planet with finite resources. Many concerned with humanity's future have focused on the concept of "sustainable development" as an alternative, as they seek means of achieving current economic and social goals without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own goals. Sustainable development brings together elements of economics, public policy, sociology, ecology, resource management, and other related areas, and while the term has become quite popular, it is rarely defined, and even less often is it understood. A Survey of Sustainable Development addresses that problem by bringing together in a single volume the mo...
Private law has long been the focus of efforts to explain wider developments of law in an era of globalisation. As consumer transactions and corporate activities continue to develop with scant regard to legal and national boundaries, private law theorists have begun to sketch and conceptualise the possible architecture of a transnational legal theory. Drawing a detailed map of the mixed regulatory landscape of 'hard' and 'soft' laws, official, unofficial, direct and indirect modes of regulation, rules, recommendations and principles as well as exploring the concept of governance through disclosure and transparency, this book develops a theoretical framework of transnational legal regulation....
N 1964 at the World's Fair in New York I City one room was dedicated solely to mathematics. The display included a very at tractive and informative mural, about 13 feet long, sponsored by one of the largest com puter manufacturing companies and present ing a brief survey of the history of mathemat ics. Entitled, "Men of Modern Mathematics," it gives an outline of the development of that science from approximately 1000 B. C. to the year of the exhibition. The first centuries of this time span are illustrated by pictures from the history of art and, in particular, architec ture; the period since 1500 is illuminated by portraits of mathematicians, including brief descriptions of their lives and...
At a time of increasingly rapid environmental deterioration and climate change, sustainability is one of the most important issues facing the world. Can we create a sustainable society? What would that mean? How should we set about doing it? How can we bring about such a profound change in the way things are organized? This text tackles these questions directly. It covers: historical development of the concept of sustainability; contemporary debates about how to achieve it; and obstacles and the prospects for overcoming them. This new fully revised edition covers the latest on the climate change front, particularly the advances in scientific understanding and political awareness of climate change. Other updates include more recent economic analyses, particularly the Stern Report, and the global shift away from faith in markets over the past five years.
This book investigates how sustainability informs the universal principles used in domestic and international law. It calls for the acceptance of sustainability as a recognized legal principle which could be applied to the entire legal system rather than just environmental law and regardless of its international or domestic levels. To this end, the book makes a contribution to a theory of global law by discussing whether, as a universally shared concern, environmental protection and the principle of sustainability should contribute to the 'greening' of the fundamental principles of law and governance. The book will be a valuable resource for students, researchers and policy makers working in the areas of environmental law and governance.
Selected essays on radical social change.
This text was prepared as a monograph for the International Encyclopaedia for Labour Law and Industrial Relations. It is based on a more detailed work which appeared in French in 1970 and in Spanish in 1977. The material was brought up to date and recast to correspond to the type of monographs con tained in the Encyclopaedia, which were aimed at providing concise, but reasonably detailed information and analysis of national laws and practice. Thus indications concerning the historical background, important as they may be in the present case, as well as the discussion of a number of theoretical questions, have had to be considerably reduced. However, detailed, up-to date information is provid...
