Download or read book Dismantling Democracy in Venezuela written by Allan R. Brewer-Carías and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-20 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the process of dismantling the democratic institutions and protections in Venezuela under the Hugo Chávez regime. The actions of the Chávez government have influenced similar processes and undemocratic manoeuvrings in Ecuador, Bolivia, and Honduras. Since the election of Hugo Chávez as president of Venezuela in 1998, a sinister form of nationalistic authoritarianism has arisen at the expense of long-established democratic standards. During the past decade, the 1999 Venezuelan Constitution has been systematically attacked by all branches of the Chávez government, particularly by the Supreme Tribunal of Justice, which has legitimized the Chávez-ordered constitutional violations. The Chávez regime has purposely defrauded the Constitution and severely restricted representative government, all in the name of a supposedly participatory democracy controlled by a popularly supported central government. This volume illustrates how an authoritarian, nondemocratic government has been established in Venezuela.

This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La administración de justicia como uno de los poderes del Estado no se encuentra exenta de comprometer la responsabilidad patrimonial del Estado. En la evolución del régimen de responsabilidad del Estado-administración de justicia se ha superado la tesis inicial de la irresponsabilidad fundada en la inviolabilidad de las decisiones judiciales con los que se hacía prevalecer los principios de cosa juzgada y de seguridad jurídica, hasta llegar a la configuración de la responsabilidad no sólo por razón de dichas decisiones, sino también por el resultado de las mismas que se encaminen a privar injustamente la libertad de las personas, e incluso por anormalidad o defectuoso funcionamiento en la prestación de la actividad de la administración de justicia. Se trata, además, de un régimen que en el moderno Estado Social y Democrático de Derecho recibe el sustancial influjo de las normas convencionales, erigiéndose como sustrato esencial para su construcción del derecho de acceso a la administración de justicia o la tutela judicial efectiva, donde el papel de la víctima es esencial verificar por sobre los procedimientos, decisiones y funcionamiento en sí mismo de la administración de justicia. En el estudio que se presenta a continuación, se busca examinar la evolución de este régimen de responsabilidad en el ordenamiento jurídico colombiano; la influencia convencional del derecho de acceso a la administración de justicia o la tutela judicial efectiva; la posible revisión que exige la convencionalidad para el juzgamiento de la responsabilidad de los organismos judiciales internacionales; y, finalmente la delimitación de cada uno de los fundamentos en los que se estructura la responsabilidad del Estado-administración de justicia [indebido o imposible acceso a la administración de justicia; privación injusta de la libertad; error judicial y defectuoso funcionamiento de la administración de justicia]. El análisis que se presenta en esta publicación deriva del estudio de la jurisprudencia reciente de la Sección Tercera del Consejo de Estado de Colombia, comprendiendo todos aquellos eventos en los que la responsabilidad del Estado ha sido cuestionada bien sea por que se incurre en un error judicial [o jurisdiccional], en un defectuoso funcionamiento de la administración de justicia [v.gr., por imposición de un embargo, retención de un bien mueble, pérdida de bienes muebles en cabeza de auxiliares de la justicia como secuestres, etc.], o por privación injusta de la libertad. En cuanto a este último supuesto, en la jurisprudencia del Consejo de Estado de Colombia desde 2013 existe un debate constante, complejo y divergente, acerca del daño antijurídico, de los títulos o supuestos de imputación y sobre la reparación de los perjuicios inmateriales y materiales. Se trata, en el evento de la privación injusta de la libertad, de debatir el alcance que debe darse a la primacía de la libertad como premisa sustancial en el ejercicio de la acción penal del Estado, sin que se convierta la detención, la privación de la libertad o la supresión del derecho a la locomoción en reglas generales, lo que sigue planteando debates en el derecho colombiano.

This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La responsabilidad del Estado, o si se quiere, bajo una vision mas acorde con el sentir constitucional y convencional del fenomeno, esto es, desde una perspectiva de victima, y de manera concreta, de los derechos que a estas le asisten de ser reparadas integralmente por los danos antijuridicos que se les causen, por quienes ejercen el poder, constituye uno de los mas grandes retos en la dinamica del Estado de derecho; y mas aun, en especial, cuando ese dano antijuridico, proviene de la actividad del poder garante de los derechos individuales y de la integridad de los bienes de la colectividad en todas sus dimensiones, como lo es el Poder Judicial o por lo menos de todos aquellos que ejercen atribuciones de esta naturaleza en el contexto del orden constitucional vigente en cada Estado. En tal contexto, esta importante contribucion a la doctrina de la responsabilidad del Estado del profesor Jaime Orlando Santofimio, Consejero de Estado y profesor de la Universidad Externado de Colombia que se edita en la Coleccion Estudios de Derecho Administrativos de la Editorial Juridica Venezolana, aborda, desde la perspectiva convencional y constitucional, tres hipotesis altamente significativas de la actividad judicial anormal que generan responsabilidad del Estado: la de la privacion injusta de la libertad, el error judicial, y el defectuoso funcionamiento de la administracion de justicia, todas ellas de incidencia inevitable en el ambito de los derechos de las victimas que estas actividades generan, como consecuencia de la responsabilidad que se puede derivar del ejercicio de los poderes publicos en todo Estado materialmente considerado como democratico, social y de derecho. En esta perspectiva el trabajo monografico que se pone a consideracion de la academia y de los estudiosos en general del derecho publico, se soporta en la idea fuerza del ordenamiento juridico convencional y constitucional, de la imposibilidad absoluta de admitir escenarios que amparen la arbitrariedad, el abuso, el exceso, el ejercicio desproporcionado, las omisiones y la inactividad con los que se producen danos antijuridicos ocasionados por los agentes estatales en desarrollo de la actividad judicial."

Download or read book Sexism and Stereotypes in Modern Society written by William B. Swann and published by Amer Psychological Assn. This book was released on 1999 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once the province of a small group of theorists and researchers operating on the periphery of psychological science, gender research has charged into the psychological mainstream during the last two decades. In large measure, Janet T. Spence has been responsible for this transformation, challenging the traditional ideas of fundamental difference between men and women. The simple idea of difference, once used to rationalize prejudices and discrimination, has now been replaced by a complex, sophisticated awareness of how gender is constructed and maintained. This book explores new empirical work and theoretical models about the causes and consequences of constructing gender.

Download or read book Permanent Establishment written by Arvid Aage Skaar and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2020-06-19 with total page 999 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new edition of the preeminent work on the permanent establishment (PE) is a major event in tax law scholarship. Taking into account changes in judicial and administrative practice as well as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD’s) and the United Nation’s (UN’s) work in the three decades since the first edition, the present study brings the analysis up to date with the current internationally accepted interpretation of PE. The analysis is based on more than 720 cases from more than 20 countries, in addition to the OECD and UN model treaties and more than 630 books, articles, and official documents. The increased significance of the digital economy has rendered the traditional concept of PE inadequate for the allocation of taxing jurisdiction over the modern, mobile or digital international business. The author’s in-depth analysis explains the legal elements of the PE principle with attention to their continuing benefit and their shortcomings: criteria defining a PE- place of business, location, right of use, duration, business connection, business activity, ordinary course of business; evidence of a right of use to a place of business; business activities included in the PE concept of the tax treaties; identification of projects offshore and onshore; UN model treaty deviations from the OECD agency clause; distinction between jurisdictions with significant natural resources and countries possessing the capital, technology and know-how necessary to explore and exploit these resources; and how policies in each country may erode the PE concept. The book provides many synopses of court decisions and administrative rulings upon which the analysis is based. In addition to cases previously published in law reports and other publications, a number of unpublished decisions are included. A key word index makes it easy to find what is needed in any particular matter. The PE principle, in one version or another, is used in several thousand tax treaties in force today. This updated comprehensive study reveals the obligations imposed through the use of PE in tax treaties and will continue to be of immeasurable value to tax practitioners and scholars worldwide. In addition, the discussion of whether the notion of PE is an appropriate criterion for taxing jurisdiction in international fiscal law today provides authoritative and insightful food for thought.

Book excerpt: "In a study which covers the entirety of Montejo's career as poet and essayist, this book examines how the work of this seminal Venezuelan writer explores and deals with the experiences of loss in the twentieth century. This represents the first book-length study in English of Montejo's work and the first monograph in any language to offer a sustained thematic analysis of his entire output. In the process, it serves to bring out from the academic shadows one of the most important and commanding poetic voices to emerge from Latin America to the last fifty years." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book For a New Geography written by Milton Santos and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in English, a key work of critical geography Originally published in 1978 in Portuguese, For a New Geography is a milestone in the history of critical geography, and it marked the emergence of its author, Milton Santos (1926–2001), as a major interpreter of geographical thought, a prominent Afro-Brazilian public intellectual, and one of the foremost global theorists of space. Published in the midst of a crisis in geographical thought, For a New Geography functioned as a bridge between geography’s past and its future. In advancing his vision of a geography of action and liberation, Santos begins by turning to the roots of modern geography and its colonial legacies. Moving from a critique of the shortcomings of geography from the field’s foundations as a modern science to the outline of a new field of critical geography, he sets forth both an ontology of space and a methodology for geography. In so doing, he introduces novel theoretical categories to the analysis of space. It is, in short, both a critique of the Northern, Anglo-centric discipline from within and a systematic critique of its flaws and assumptions from outside. Critical geography has developed in the past four decades into a heterogenous and creative field of enquiry. Though accruing a set of theoretical touchstones in the process, it has become detached from a longer and broader history of geographical thought. For a New Geography reconciles these divergent histories. Arriving in English at a time of renewed interest in alternative geographical traditions and the history of radical geography, it takes its place in the canonical works of critical geography.

Download or read book Language Interaction and Social Cognition written by G. R. Semin and published by Sage Publications (CA). This book was released on 1992 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of language is increasingly acknowledged within social psychology. In this seminal book, a group of distinguished authors goes beyond general theory to address, from a research base, key issues in the interrelationship between language, interaction and social cognition. Their starting point is that the ways in which we perceive and, therefore, interact with others are structured by the language available to us, as a socially constructed system above and beyond individual minds. The relationship between language and social cognition is not, however, a fixed or unicausal one: linguistic terms are also generated in response to social and cultural development. The interplay is dialectical - a dialectic of the social. The authors explore this dialectic through such themes as: the use and power of category labels; trait-behaviour relations in social information processing; and interpersonal verbs and attribution. They examine the significance of language use in the persistence of stereotypes, and the links between syntactical reasoning processes and social cognition, as well as the impact of perspectivity. They consider the ways in which communication roles and context shape, and are shaped by, language. Language, Interaction and Social Cognition will be essential reading for all those in social psychology, psycholinguistics, linguistics and communication studies concerned with the role of language in interaction and social cognition.
