Download or read book Colonial Theories of Institutional Development written by Daniel Oto-Peralías and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the role played by initial endowments and colonizer identity in seeking to explain institutional development in former colonies. It presents a model of two styles of imperialism that integrates the colonial origin and endowment views explaining current institutions. The authors argue that Great Britain and Portugal adopted an ‘economically-oriented’ style, which was pragmatic and sensitive to initial conditions. For this style of imperialism the endowment view is applicable. In contrast, France employed a ‘politically-oriented’ style of imperialism, in which ideological and political motivations were more present. This led to a uniform colonial policy that largely disregarded initial endowments. In turn, the case of Spain represents a hybrid of the two models. The empirical analysis presented here reveals a remarkable degree of heterogeneity in the relationship of endowments and colonizer identity with current institutions.

Download or read book Inequality Democracy and Growth in Brazil written by Marcos Mendes and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In terms accessible to non-economists, Marcos José Mendes describes the ways democracy and inequality produce low growth in the short and medium terms. In the longer term, he argues that Brazil has two paths in front of it. One is to create the conditions necessary to boost economic performance and drive the country toward a high level of development. The other is to fail in untying the political knot that blocks growth, leaving it a middle-income country. The source of his contrasting futures for Brazil is inequality, which he demonstrates is a relevant variable in any discussion of economic growth. Inequality illuminates causes of seemingly-unconnected problems. This book, which includes freely-accessible documents and datasets, is the first in-depth analysis of an issue that promises to become increasingly prominent. - Contrasting visions of Brazil's future described in economic terms - Easy-to-understand graphs and tables illustrate analytical arguments - All Excel-based data available on a freely-accessible website

Download or read book Juizado Especial Criminal written by Marcelo de Oliveira Milagres and published by Editora Foco. This book was released on 2021-01-15 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A expansão do Direito Penal tornou-se, já há algum tempo, tema recorrente, controvertido e um tanto preocupante, ao menos para os juristas mais genuinamente comprometidos com as balizas delimitadoras de sua atuação no mundo real e mais sinceramente apreensivos com seu potencial de controle das diversas esferas da vida cotidiana. Afinal, estamos nos referindo a poderoso instrumento de controle social, seja no plano de sua prática, seja no plano simbólico, e seu uso prudencial e parcimonioso será sempre um dos motes centrais do discurso penal mais preocupado com a delimitação precisa do poder punitivo estatal. Nesse sentido, um dos maiores desafios enfrentados nesse campo sempre foi reduzir o mais possível a incidência da pena privativa de liberdade, e a abundante literatura que nos fala de seus malefícios, inconsistências, contradições e perversidades é bastante conhecida e dificilmente refutável. O desafio sempre foi prover alternativas viáveis a ela ou, no limite, deslegitimá-la e aboli-la, opção sempre presente nos discursos de uma criminologia e de um penalismo de cariz mais acentuadamente crítico e ainda atraente para uma parte importante e respeitável de estudiosos da área. O presente livro não avança nessa segunda direção. E não por desconhecimento ou por falta de sensibilidade dos autores para esses debates, mas sim, como eles próprios anunciam, pelo interesse em contribuir, de maneira concreta e objetiva, para o aperfeiçoamento da Justiça Criminal, reconhecidamente repleta de problemas e muito longe de sequer passar perto de seus objetivos declarados retoricamente. Mas se compromete em dialogar seriamente com a primeira, vale dizer, a busca de caminhos interpretativos capazes de contrair o mais possível a incidência da lei penal e processual penal. Seu compromisso com medidas despenalizadoras, sua atenção para as crescentes possibilidades de uma justiça consensual o mais possível comprometida com acordos processuais e procedimentais baseados na autonomia e escolha dos envolvidos atestam isso. A escolha do tema – a análise da Lei n.o 9.099/1995 – e a maneira como ele é abordado demonstram estarmos diante de um trabalho escrito por dois Promotores de Justiça imersos nos incontáveis problemas para a sua ideal aplicação e efetivação, e, não obstante, dispostos a efetivamente contribuir para o aperfeiçoamento dos chamados Juizados Especiais Criminais. Nunca deixando de reconhecer as limitações e os problemas do instituto, ainda assim consideram indispensável enfrentar o desafio da discussão dos melhores caminhos para se interpretar e aplicar essa lei. Trata-se de uma contribuição das mais valiosas para todos aqueles que estejam comprometidos com o aperfeiçoamento do sistema de justiça criminal, ainda que reconheça seus vícios e pecados de origem.

Download or read book New Horizons in Spanish Colonial Law written by Thomas Duve and published by Max Planck Institute for European Legal History. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: http://dx.doi.org/10.12946/gplh3 http://www.epubli.de/shop/buch/48746 "Spanish colonial law, derecho indiano, has since the early 20th century been a vigorous subdiscipline of legal history. One of great figures in the field, the Argentinian legal historian Víctor Tau Anzoátegui, published in 1997 his Nuevos horizontes en el estudio histórico del derecho indiano. The book, in which Tau addressed seminal methodological questions setting tone for the discipline’s future orientation, proved to be the starting point for an important renewal of the discipline. Tau drew on the writings of legal historians, such as Paolo Grossi, Antonio Manuel Hespanha, and Bartolomé Clavero. Tau emphasized the development of legal history in connection to what he called “the posture superseding rational and statutory state law.” The following features of normativity were now in need of increasing scholarly attention: the autonomy of different levels of social organization, the different modes of normative creativity, the many different notions of law and justice, the position of the jurist as an artifact of law, and the casuistic character of the legal decisions. Moreover, Tau highlighted certain areas of Spanish colonial law that he thought deserved more attention than they had hitherto received. One of these was the history of the learned jurist: the letrado was to be seen in his social, political, economic, and bureaucratic context. The Argentinian legal historian called for more scholarly works on book history, and he thought that provincial and local histories of Spanish colonial law had been studied too little. Within the field of historical science as a whole, these ideas may not have been revolutionary, but they contributed in an important way to bringing the study of Spanish colonial law up-to-date. It is beyond doubt that Tau’s programmatic visions have been largely fulfilled in the past two decades. Equally manifest is, however, that new challenges to legal history and Spanish colonial law have emerged. The challenges of globalization are felt both in the historical and legal sciences, and not the least in the field of legal history. They have also brought major topics (back) on to the scene, such as the importance of religious normativity within the normative setting of societies. These challenges have made scholars aware of the necessity to reconstruct the circulation of ideas, juridical practices, and researchers are becoming more attentive to the intense cultural translation involved in the movement of legal ideas and institutions from one context to another. Not least, the growing consciousness and strong claims to reconsider colonial history from the premises of postcolonial scholarship expose the discipline to an unseen necessity of reconsidering its very foundational concepts. What concept of law do we need for our historical studies when considering multi-normative settings? How do we define the spatial dimension of our work? How do we analyze the entanglements in legal history? Until recently, Spanish colonial law attracted little interest from non-Hispanic scholars, and its results were not seen within a larger global context. In this respect, Spanish colonial law was hardly different from research done on legal history of the European continent or common law. Spanish colonial law has, however, recently become a topic of interest beyond the Hispanic world. The field is now increasingly seen in the context of “global legal history,” while the old and the new research results are often put into a comparative context of both European law of the early Modern Period and other colonial legal orders. In this volume, scholars from different parts of the Western world approach Spanish colonial law from the new perspectives of contemporary legal historical research."

Download or read book Feminist Legal History written by Tracy A. Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2011-04-04 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attuned to the social contexts within which laws are created, feminist lawyers, historians, and activists have long recognized the discontinuities and contradictions that lie at the heart of efforts to transform the law in ways that fully serve women's interests. At its core, the nascent field of feminist legal history is driven by a commitment to uncover women's legal agency and how women, both historically and currently, use law to obtain individual and societal empowerment. Feminist Legal History represents feminist legal historians' efforts to define their field, by showcasing historical research and analysis that demonstrates how women were denied legal rights, how women used the law proactively to gain rights, and how, empowered by law, women worked to alter the law to try to change gendered realities. Encompassing two centuries of American history, thirteen original essays expose the many ways in which legal decisions have hinged upon ideas about women or gender as well as the ways women themselves have intervened in the law, from Elizabeth Cady Stanton's notion of a legal class of gender to the deeply embedded inequities involved in Ledbetter v. Goodyear, a 2007 Supreme Court pay discrimination case. Contributors: Carrie N. Baker, Felice Batlan, Tracey Jean Boisseau, Eileen Boris, Richard H. Chused, Lynda Dodd, Jill Hasday, Gwen Hoerr Jordan, Maya Manian, Melissa Murray, Mae C. Quinn, Margo Schlanger, Reva Siegel, Tracy A. Thomas, and Leti Volpp

Book excerpt: "On the street with gangs in three world cities - Chicago, Rio de Janeiro, and Capetown - Hagedorn discovers that many of them have institutionalized as a strategy to confront a hopeless cycle of poverty, racism, and oppression. The mhilistic appeal of gangsta rap and its ethic of survival "by any means necessary," he argues, provides vital insights into the ideology and persistence of gangs around the world. Proposing how gangs can be encouraged to overcome their violent tendencies, Hagedorn appeals to community leaders to use the urgency, outrage, and resistance common to both gang life and hip-hop to bring gangs into broader movements for social justice."--BOOK JACKET.
