The Rights of Women in Comparative Constitutional Law
Through a comparative analysis involving 13 countries from Africa, America, Asia and Europe, this book provides an invaluable assessment of women’s equality at the global level. The work focuses on formal constitutional provisions as well as the substantial level of protection women’s equality has achieved in the systems analysed. The investigations look at the relevant gender-related legislation, the participation of women in the institutional arena and the constitutional interpretation made by constitutional justice on gender issues. Furthermore, the book highlights women’s contributions in their roles as judges, parliamentarians, activists and academics, thus increasing the visibility of their participation in the public sphere. The work will be of interest to academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of Constitutional Law, Comparative Law, Human Rights Law and Women’s and Gender Studies.
Democratizing Constitutional Law
This volume critically discusses the relationship between democracy and constitutionalism. It does so with a view to respond to objections raised by legal and political philosophers who are sceptical of judicial review based on the assumption that judicial review is an undemocratic institution. The book builds on earlier literature on the moral justification of the authority of constitutional courts, and on the current attempts to develop a system on “weak judicial review”. Although different in their approach, the chapters all focus on devising institutions, procedures and, in a more abstract way, normative conceptions to democratize constitutional law. These democratizing strategies ma...
Pandemic and Crisis of Democracy
In this incisive book, André Duarte examines the health crisis resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and the contemporary crisis of democracy. Reflecting on President Jair Bolsonaro’s misgovernment of Brazil, as evidenced by his political actions, speeches and omissions from March 2020 to September 2021, and using concepts like biopolitics, neoliberalism and necropolitics, Duarte proposes three interrelated hypotheses to demonstrate Bolsonaro's sharp distrust of democracy. First, that Bolsonaro’s rhetoric, actions and omissions during the first year and a half of the pandemic revealed a dangerous mixture of biopolitical, neoliberal and necropolitical governmentality strategies. Second, t...

The Rule of Law in Brazil
This book provides a broad perspective of the functioning, evolution, and dynamics of the rule of law in Brazil. It stresses not only how the rule of law has developed in the legal system, but also how the political institutions and extra-legal organisations have transformed its foundations. The rule of law is not a simple concept when it comes to defining the political, economic, and legal developments of a country like Brazil. Similar to many other Latin American countries, Brazil is a young democracy struggling with its longstanding extractive institutions and entrenched interests. It features, however, one of Latin America's richest constitutional moments, when civil society actively par...

A Aplicabilidade das Decisões da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos no Brasil
Há muito é conhecido de todos do meio acadêmico, sobre a precariedade prática do conjunto de leis existentes no Brasil, principalmente quando este é confrontado em paralelo ao autêntico cumprimento dos direitos humanos. Assim, quando tais direitos são transgredidos em nosso país e nossa Justiça não obtém repará-los, busca-se na Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos, a fidedigna salvaguarda para que estes direitos sejam cumpridos na sua totalidade. Daí surgem as indagações: - Quando é que se realiza de fato a atuação da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos, em especial, nos casos brasileiros de violação dos direitos humanos? - Qual é a influência que nossa Corte M...
ATIVISMO E DECISÃO JUDICIAL INTERPRETAÇÃO DOS DIREITOS EM UMA DEMOCRACIA CONSTITUCIONAL
A expansão do Poder Judiciário inaugura uma virada no constitucionalismo contemporâneo, em decorrência da positivação de uma série de princípios na Constituição, que propiciou o fenômeno do alargamento dos espaços de jurisdição. É perceptível o fato de que o Supremo Tribunal Federal vem sendo provocado para decidir questões importantes à sociedade, casos esses que, a rigor, deveriam ser decididos, tradicionalmente, pelo Poder Legislativo. As Constituições são feitas de escolhas relativas, sendo que o constituinte elege aquelas tidas como as mais adequadas para regular a vida em sociedade, o que gera determinadas consequências: temporalidade, subjetividade e relatividade...
