Download or read book Political Corruption and Organizational Crime written by Elizangela Valarini and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Level of compliance - one of the most important prerequisites of good governance - varies widely across countries of the Global North and the less developed, Global South. Acts of non-compliance, such as electoral irregularities, dubious deals between private and public sectors, questionable role of the justice systems and financial scandals, though they vary greatly across countries, are an omnipresent reality of contemporary life. This volume has brought together a number of case studies of such deviant behavior in political, juridical and corporate fields, from several countries of Asia, Europe and South America, within a common framework. Instead of a moral approach based exclusively on the legality and illegality of the act, the authors of these essays dissect non-compliance analytically, taking culture and context into account. They argue that, while criminal and corrupt dealings deserve to be exposed by all means from an ethical point of view, seen from an interdisciplinary angle, one needs to probe deeper into the dynamic that leads to such non-compliance with the law in the first place.

Download or read book New Approach to Legal Translation written by Susan Sarcevic and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 1997-05-07 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the first attempts to present a comprehensive study of legal translation, this book is an interdisciplinary study in law and translation theory. It is not bound to any specific languages or legal systems, although emphasis is placed on translation between common law and civil law jurisdictions. The main focus is on the translation of texts which are authoritative sources of the law; examples are cited primarily from statutes, codes and constitutions (Canada, Switzerland and Belgium), as well as instruments of the European Union and international treaties and conventions. Dealing with theoretical as well as practical aspects of the subject matter, the author analyses legal translation as an act of communication in the mechanism of the law, thus making it necessary to redefine the goal of legal translation. This book is intended for both lawyers and linguists, translation theorists, legal translators and drafters, legal lexicographers, as well as teachers and students of translation.

Download or read book Corrupt Cities written by and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2000 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the devastation caused by the recent earthquake in Turkey was the result of widespread corruption between the construction industry and government officials. Corruption is part of everyday public life and we tend to take it for granted. However, preventing corruption helps to raise city revenues, improve service delivery, stimulate public confidence and participation, and win elections. This book is designed to help citizens and public officials diagnose, investigate and prevent various kinds of corrupt and illicit behaviour. It focuses on systematic corruption rather than the free-lance activity of a few law-breakers, and emphasises practical preventive measures rather than purely punitive or moralistic campaigns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether the judgements translators of different language works make are normative and somehow wrapped up in societal values that change with time or social positioning is the subject of these contributions. Two main contributions from English and Israeli scholars are presented which argue that the concept of norms should be the primary analytical tool for understanding everything from the choices of words to regularly appearing patterns in writing.

Download or read book Manual de direito penal written by Cristiano Rodrigues and published by Editora Foco. This book was released on 2021-08-04 with total page 1005 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "O texto deste livro foi desenvolvido para ter uma linguagem direta, de fácil e agradável leitura, e muitas vezes o leitor vai se sentir como se estivesse dentro de uma das minhas salas de aula, vai literalmente me ouvir (ler) falando, já que evitei ao máximo colocar citações e notas de rodapé com textos de outros livros e autores, já trazendo os posicionamentos dominantes da doutrina, e diferentes correntes dogmáticas, compilados e inseridos no meu próprio texto, facilitando assim a leitura e a compreensão direta dos assuntos tratados. Na parte geral do Direito Penal, demos um tratamento mais dogmático e aprofundado apresentando sempre os posicionamentos dominantes na doutrina e jurisprudência, visando a dar prioridade às correntes mais adotadas pelas principais bancas organizadoras dos principais concursos públicos, e do exame de ordem, trazendo correntes divergentes e minoritárias somente quando isso foi realmente necessário, e efetivamente útil, ao estudo e compreensão da matéria. Já na nossa parte especial completa, buscamos um trabalho mais direto e objetivo dos crimes em espécie, abordando as principais características de cada crime e seus aspectos fundamentais, assim, evitamos nos alongar desnecessariamente em debates exclusivamente dogmáticos, naqueles crimes em espécie que tem menor incidência prática, e pouquíssima cobrança em provas de concurso, deixando para fazer debates mais aprofundados e detalhados nos crimes que são considerados os "mais importantes" pela nossa doutrina e jurisprudência, e que têm maior incidência em provas de concurso em geral, por estarem presentes na vida prática do advogado, e demais profissionais atuantes na área jurídico-penal. Colocamos, ao final do livro, TODAS as súmulas de Direito Penal COMENTADAS, uma a uma, para facilitar o entendimento e a interpretação da jurisprudência dominante tanto no STJ quanto no STF (súmulas e súmulas vinculantes), algo que simplificará demais o estudo e compreensão dos temas sumulados para os alunos de graduação, e será extremamente útil, tanto para os "concurseiros" na realização de provas de concurso, quanto para a atuação prática dos diferentes profissionais da nossa área. Enfim, saiba que a concretização do meu maior sonho profissional se encontra agora em suas mãos, um livro completo, com a PARTE GERAL do Direito Penal bastante aprofundada, e com a PARTE ESPECIAL trazendo TODOS os crimes em espécie abordados de forma objetiva inteligente e útil".

Download or read book The Quality of Government written by Bo Rothstein and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between government, virtue, and wealth has held a special fascination since Aristotle, and the importance of each frames policy debates today in both developed and developing countries. While it’s clear that low-quality government institutions have tremendous negative effects on the health and wealth of societies, the criteria for good governance remain far from clear. In this pathbreaking book, leading political scientist Bo Rothstein provides a theoretical foundation for empirical analysis on the connection between the quality of government and important economic, political, and social outcomes. Focusing on the effects of government policies, he argues that unpredictable actions constitute a severe impediment to economic growth and development—and that a basic characteristic of quality government is impartiality in the exercise of power. This is borne out by cross-sectional analyses, experimental studies, and in-depth historical investigations. Timely and topical, The Quality of Government tackles such issues as political legitimacy, social capital, and corruption.
