Este livro analisa os assassinatos de mulheres ocorridos na região do Caparaó Capixaba, no período 2003-2016, e constata a permanência das práticas e representações patriarcais e a insuficiente articulação das políticas públicas de enfrentamento à violência contra as mulheres. Tem como fonte 17 processos judiciais oriundos das Comarcas de Alegre, Guaçuí, Ibatiba, Iúna e Muniz Freire, documentos oficiais da União, do Estado do Espírito Santo, artigos dos jornais à Notícia e Folha do Caparaó e notícias dos órgãos oficiais digitais dos municípios pesquisados. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, que utiliza o estudo de multicasos como método de procedimento, combinando a utilização das técnicas análise documental, observação livre e análise de conteúdo. O referencial teórico utilizado dialoga com autoras feministas, tais como, Sueli Almeida, Eva Blay, Maria Beatriz Nader, Heleieth Saffioti. A análise da documentação confirma a predominância das práticas e representações patriarcais e a percepção sobre as insuficientes políticas públicas de cuidado, prevenção e atendimento às mulheres. Dessa forma, as violências e, particularmente, os assassinatos de mulheres decorrem da continuidade dos comportamentos machistas e misóginos e da incapacidade do poder público de implementar uma rede de enfrentamento das violências e atendimento às mulheres que se encontram em situação de vulnerabilidade, especialmente, em contextos de violência doméstica e familiar.

Ce livre étudie le parcours d'António Sardinha (1887-1925), maître à penser du mouvement monarchiste traditionaliste portugais de l'Intégralisme lusitanien, ainsi que polémiste prépondérant, mais controversé de la droite radicale portugaise du début du XXe siècle. À travers de nombreuses sources imprimées et archives privées, l'auteur propose une étude critique des principales idées qui se dégagent de l'oeuvre politique de Sardinha, en les situant dans leur contexte, avant de se pencher sur sa réfl exion concernant une possible alliance contrerévolutionnaire luso-espagnole, voire ibéro-américaine. Enfi n, l'ouvrage dresse le bilan de l'infl uence et de l'héritage intellectuels du penseur. Il démontre, d'une part, comment ses écrits ont marqué de leur empreinte la dictature de Salazar au Portugal, notamment à travers de jeunes hommes politiques comme Pedro Teotónio Pereira et Marcello Caetano au Portugal; d'autre part, il met en lumière l'impact à l'étranger de l'« hispanisme », qui a notamment trouvé en Ramiro de Maeztu un lecteur assidu en Espagne et en Gilberto Freyre un admirateur brésilien.

Portugal in the 21st Century provides a thorough yet accessible picture of contemporary Portugal in the first two decades of the twenty-first century.It examines and elucidates Portugal's recent trajectory, its current position, and the main challenges it faces through an examination of the principal dimensions of cultural, economic, political, and social development in the country. Bringing together some of the foremost Portuguese experts in each of these areas, it draws on a diverse knowledge across the social sciences and humanities – including anthropologists, art historians, economists, historians, legal scholars, literary scholars, political scientists, biologists, and sociologists – to create a multidimensional portrait of contemporary Portuguese society.Key features: Organised into nine substantive chapters – each of which covers a major area of Portugal's contemporary existence – from its national identity and political system to its economy, scientific, literary, and artistic production. Opens with a general introduction providing historical context, and a chapter on Portuguese national identity. Thematic chapters focus on social, political, economic, and cultural developments of the last two decades. This book provides a comprehensive, erudite yet accessible introduction to contemporary Portugal and is essential reading for students, scholars, and readers interested in Portugal, Portuguese and Southern European politics and culture, Iberian, or Iberian-American studies and more broadly to European and Comparative Politics.The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivatives (CC-BY-ND) 4.0 license.

Em 1º de abril de 1964, é derrubado o presidente constitucional da república João Goulart, consolidando o Golpe Civil-Militar, depois de uma Crise de Hegemonia. No entanto, o novo período não foi de tranquilidade política, havendo tanto contestações e tentativas de revolta por grupos de oposição quanto disputas entre os grupos políticos no poder, que ficaram polarizados entre os'moderados'e os'duros'para definir qual seria o projeto hegemônico dirigiria o Bloco Histórico. De início, muitos participantes e apoiadores do golpe acreditavam que os militares logo devolveriam o poder aos civis. Mas com a prorrogação do mandato do General Castelo Branco e a consequente cassação de expoentes históricos civis que apoiaram o golpe, como Juscelino Kubitschek, outras lideranças começaram a perceber que um grupo dos militares procurava se hegemonizar no poder e estava conquistando espaço, com projeto político próprio. O Governador de São Paulo, Adhemar de Barros, entendeu que seria o próximo político a ser cassado. Face à impopularidade do regime devido à crise econômica, ele se alia a vários grupos políticos descontentes distintos, entre os quais a esquerda nacionalista e ligada ao PCB, e a militares descontentes, como o General Amaury Kruel, entre outros, articulando-se com ele à frente de um contragolpe. No entanto a revolta não aconteceu, e Adhemar de Barros teve o mandato de governador cassado e os direitos políticos suspensos por dez anos, terminando'A Revolta que não Houve'.

Recent confrontations between constitutional courts and parliamentary majorities in several European countries have attracted international interest in the relationship between the judiciary and the legislature.Some political actors have argued that courts have assumed too much power and politics has been extremely judicialized. Yet the extent to which this aggregation of power may have constrained the dominant political actors'room for manoeuvre has never been examined accurately and systematically. This volume fills this gap in the literature. To explore the diversity and measure the strength of judicial decisions, the authors have elaborated a new methodology that is intended to give a more nuanced picture of the practice of constitutional adjudication in Europe. The work opens with an assessment of the existing literature on empirical analysis of judicial decisions with a special focus on Western Europe and a short summary of the methodology of the project. This is followed by 11 country studies and a concluding chapter providing a comprehensive comparative analysis of the results. A further ten countries are explored in the counterpart volume to this book: Constitutional Review in Central and Eastern Europe: Judicial-Legislative Relations in Comparative Perspective.The collection will be an invaluable resource for those working in the areas of empirical legal research and comparative constitutional law, as well as political scientists interested in judicial politics.

Czech Social Attitudes in the European Context: In the Heart of Europe reflects the political, welfare, and general social attitudes in the Czech Republic, which has 30 years of existence, in European comparison. In nine chapters, the team of contributors address understanding and evaluations of democracy, discriminated group identity, satisfaction with democracy, distributive justice beliefs, support for income redistribution, pay fairness, equity norms, life satisfaction, job satisfaction, subjective well-being, (un)happiness, social isolation, perceived unsafety, family norms related to parenthood, and attitudes towards migration in pre- and post-COVID-19 times. This book captures a mild disappointment from low incomes and income equality, their effects on job satisfaction, happiness, and understanding of democracy in this critical era. Rigorous quantitative analyses of attitudes are based on the up-to-date European Social Survey data. Each chapter is a stand-alone piece. Nevertheless, their findings confirm and complement each other.

In this interdisciplinary book in an interdisciplinary series, Dave Bridge crosses methodological boundaries to offer readers insights on the political “push­back” that historically follows Supreme Court rulings with which most Americans disagree. After developing a framework for identifying the Court's rare countermajor­itarian decisions, Bridge shows how those decisions that liberals backed in the 1950s through the 1970s consistently upset con­servative factions in the Democratic Party, which always managed to weather the storms—that is until Roe v. Wade in 1973. In Pushback, Bridge offers compelling hy­potheses about how the two major parties can use unpopular Supreme Court rulings to shift the political momentum and win elections. He then puts those hypotheses to the test, analyzing the political fallout of recent rulings on controversial issues such as Obamacare, same-sex marriage, and religious liberty. Certain to appeal to anyone interested in American political science and history, Pushback closes with a detailed exami­nation of the unequivocally counterma­joritarian Supreme Court ruling of our lifetimes, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned Roe. For the first time in 50 years, conditions are ripe for a party to win votes by campaign­ing against the will of the Court. Upcom­ing elections will tell if the Republicans overplayed their hand, or if Democrats will play theirs as skillfully as did the GOP after Roe.

This book provides a unique framework to explain the causes and consequences of electoral problems in Turkey. Although highly illuminating, the existing studies fall short of explaining the particularities of numerous singular electoral settings. This gap is especially valid for the grey-zone regimes, which are neither clearly democratic nor conventionally authoritarian in Turkey. Establishing a historical outlook by scrutinising the elections which have taken place since the 1950s, Emre Toros identifies the challenges related to electoral integrity nested at individual and institutional levels. In this way, this book contributes to electoral integrity literature by utilising the valuable research strategies of the existing studies, proposing alternative data sources that will better understand the phenomena and, most importantly, employing a methodology that will suit both singular and comparative cases.

Por compreender que a Educação é um Direito de todos, a Constituição Federativa do Brasil de 1988 estabeleceu em seu Art. 212. que cabe a União aplicar, nunca menos de 18%, “da receita resultante de impostos, compreendida a proveniente de transferências, na manutenção e desenvolvimento do ensino”. Já a Lei nº 13.005/2014, que aprovou o Plano Nacional de Educação, estabeleceu em sua Meta 20: que até o ano de 2019 seriam investidos, pelo menos, 7% e até 2019, pelo menos 10% do PIB em Educação. Paradoxalmente, segundo Auditoria Cidadã da Dívida, distante desses dados, em 2019 foram investidos 3,48% do PIB em Educação e em 2023, 2,73%. É por esperançarmos estatísticas diferentes que, através dos percursos e resultados do Programa de Residência Pedagógica da UFAL, que lhes convidamos a se deleitarem com essas leituras e se inspirarem por mais e melhores movimentos de luta por uma educação de qualidade.

Fueled by new data from the Varieties of Democracy project, Democratic Quality in Southern Europe takes a close look at the democratic trajectories of France, Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain over the past fifty years.Despite similar beginnings, France, Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain have experienced significant variations in the way their democracies have evolved. Covering ground from the protest movements of the late'60s and early'70s to the challenges that resulted from the financial crisis of the Great Recession, editor Tiago Fernandes expertly draws together a collection of essays that look beyond the impact of socioeconomic development in these five countries, exploring innovative and nuanced explanations for their diverging paths.Democratic Quality in Southern Europe combines new data with classical methodologies to create fresh, convincing hypotheses on the development, quality, and depth of democracy in this critical region.Contributors: Tiago Fernandes, Rui Branco, João Cancela, Edna Costa, Pedro Diniz de Sousa, Pedro T. Magalhães, Edalina Rodrigues Sanches, José Santana-Pereira, Tiago Tibúrcio

Transitional Justice after Clean Breaks: The Case of Portugal offers a nuanced exploration of how national political actors shape transitional justice in the aftermath of authoritarian regimes. The book tackles two primary objectives: understanding the mechanisms linking the opening of a window of opportunity with transitional justice choices and unraveling the lasting effects of early decisions on justice after democracy consolidates.Filipa Raimundo and Joana Rebelo Morais present a comprehensive theoretical framework, intertwining institutional and attitudinal factors to explain the processes of coming to terms with the past that emerge out of clean break transitions. The lens provided by Portugal's unique case study illustrates the effect of preemption and strategic calculation as well as the enduring impact of early choices in shaping the trajectory of transitional justice.Focusing on democracies emerging from collapsed regimes, this book contends that the delegitimization of the autocratic elite and its exit from power are as relevant as the anti-dictator bias and the authoritarian stigmas in shaping transitional justice debates and decision-making.

Dialogue with the Dictator illuminates the ways in which authoritarian regimes structure interaction between citizens and leaders to simultaneously manage information dilemmas and build regime legitimacy. In doing so, it demonstrates the conditions under which managed participation can reinforce or jeopardize authoritarian control. Chapters uncover how these tools are viewed from the perspective of the public and the mechanisms through which they influence attitudes toward authorities. By cultivating limited opportunities for participation in otherwise closed political systems, autocrats bolster regime legitimacy while still maintaining control of the means and content of communication. These tools ultimately reinforce and entrench autocratic leaders rather than contributing to increased prospects for democracy – but not without consequences. Combining interviews, original surveys, and text analysis, the book provides a novel theoretical framework for understanding managed participation under authoritarianism and explains both its benefits and potential consequences for authoritarian regimes.

This Research Handbook is a multi-faceted, comparative analysis of how law and political systems interact around the world. Chapters include analyses of judicial deference, congressional support, democratic representation, politicization of courts, public support, and judicialization across multiple jurisdictions in the United States and abroad. Chapters also investigate transnational courts and the linkages between international and domestic law and politics.Addressing these relationships from a comparative perspective, the Handbook illustrates how different political contexts lead to different uses of law and how courts respond to divergent political environments. An impressive array of contributors, and the editors, examine law and political systems on a global scale through either country-specific analyses, comparative analyses, or the examination of transnational institutions.Scholars interested in law and courts, judicial politics, the rule of law, and governance will find this Research Handbook to be a valuable resource. It will provide a helpful foundation for advanced students of both political science and law and will be a useful reference tool for judges and those operating in a judicial or political sphere.

Constitutional law is a ‘semi-autonomous'discipline, where texts and doctrines are completely and complexly intertwined with the political systems within which constitutional law is found. This timely Research Handbook develops the idea that understanding constitutional law means understanding constitutional politics as well.Using both comparative and political analysis, this forward-looking reference work deals with the politics of constitutional law around the world, delivering global treatment of the politics of constitutional law across issues, regions and legal systems. The chapters are meticulously organised around ‘foundations', ‘structures', ‘rights'and ‘futures', providing a well-rounded overview of the topic and noting the key recent developments in the field. The distinction between law and politics is of course a contested one and the selection of prominent established and emerging scholars and contributors to this Handbook implicitly offer varying perspectives on it.Offering an innovative, critical approach to an array of key concepts and topics, this book will be a key resource for both legal scholars and political science scholars. Students with interests in law and politics, constitutions, legal theory and public policy will also find this a beneficial companion.

O livro coletivo Direitos e fronteiras planetárias: feminismos emergentes, organizado pelas professoras doutoras Déborah Silva do Monte, Liana Amin Lima Silva, Thaisa Maira Rodrigues Held e Verônica Maria Bezerra Guimarães, foi uma iniciativa conjunta das professoras pesquisadoras do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Fronteiras e Direitos Humanos da Universidade Federal da Grande Dourados, Brasil. O objetivo consistiu em reunir trabalhos científicos de pesquisadoras(es) de todos os gêneros e de diferentes regiões do país, bem como de outros países, que abordam pesquisas interdisciplinares no campo dos feminismos, percorrendo diferentes áreas do saber e temas como: ecologia, economia, política, antropologia, sociologia, direito, psicologia, saúde, sexualidade, trabalho, violência, raça, classe, interseccionalidade, racismo, colonialismo, (de)colonialidade, direitos coletivos, direitos étnicos, direitos da natureza, corpos e territórios, territorialidades, conflitos socioambientais, fronteiras, migrações, mudanças climáticas, pandemia, entre outros, à luz da perspectiva de gênero, direitos das mulheres e LGBTQIA+. Os conflitos e violências de gênero, no contexto da crise planetária da contemporaneidade, revelam-nos formas outras de resistências políticas que aqui se denominam'feminismos emergentes'.'Mulheres e não mulheres', conforme nos ensinam Cristiane Julião Pankararu e Claudia de Pinho Pantaneira, de diferentes etnias e religiões revelam e expressam formas de reexistência local/global pelo futuro da humanidade, a exemplo da participação das mulheres indígenas na Conferência da ONU sobre Mudanças Climáticas (COP26); da luta das mulheres Guarani e Kaiowá, Ñandesys e rezadoras no enfrentamento à Covid-19 e pelos direitos de retomada nos tekohas; da luta das mulheres negras de religião de matriz africana contra a intolerância religiosa; das mulheres quilombolas contra o racismo ambiental; das mulheres refugiadas e migrantes que se deslocam na luta pela sobrevivência e na luta pela vida e existência digna; da luta do movimento LGBT ao denunciar que o Brasil é o país que mais mata pessoas trans no mundo; entre outras graves situações de violações de Direitos Humanos que nos convocam para reflexão crítica aprofundada e partilha de pensares-sentires que possam despertar o esperançar.

Noch vor wenigen Jahren sahen alle heute im Bundestag vertretenen Parteien außer der CDU in ihren Partei- oder Wahlprogrammen die Einführung von Volksabstimmungen auf Bundesebene vor. Das entsprach dem Wunsch einer großen Mehrheit der Bürger. Inzwischen hat sich der Wind der öffentlichen Meinung gedreht. Vor allem das Brexit-Votum der Briten und die Erfolge populistischer Politiker und Parteien in vielen Ländern haben neue Skepsis geweckt, ob man politische Sachentscheidungen wirklich „dem Volk“ überlassen kann. Was ist davon zu halten? Haben wir es mit einer Rückkehr zum Realismus oder mit einer Wiederkehr alter, antidemokratischer Vorurteile zu tun? Das Buch geht diesen Fragen nach und zeigt, dass die Chancen und Risiken direkter Demokratie sich nicht ohne genaue Betrachtung der näheren Ausgestaltung beurteilen lassen.

The Oxford Handbook of Historical Political Economy brings together scholars who are working on essential and field-shaping topics in this burgeoning area. Historical Political Economy (HPE) is the study of how political and economic actors and institutions have interacted over time. It differs from much of economic history in that it focuses on the causes and consequences of politics. It departs from much of conventional political economy in that its context is strictly historical, even if/when it has implications for contemporary political economy. It also departs from much of history in its use of social-scientific theory and methods. Thus, while HPE involves elements of the traditional fields of economics, political economy, and history, it is separate from-and integrative of-them. The Handbook includes contributions from leading scholars in political science, economics, sociology, and history. The first section summarizes the state of the field and provides an overview of the data and techniques typically used by HPE scholars. Subsequent chapters survey major HPE research areas in political economy, political science, and economics, as well as the long-run economic, political, and social consequences of historical political economy. Various chapters in the Handbook will be of interest to economists, political scientists, sociologists, historians, legal scholars, and public policy scholars who study political-economy issues and topics from a historical perspective. There are currently not many forums for scholars in these fields to interact and share ideas. The Oxford Handbook of Historical Political Economy ameliorates this issue, cutting across disciplinary lines and reducing the barriers to interdisciplinary discussions.

Gli ultimi due secoli della Storia portoghese presentano aspetti poco conosciuti e talvolta controversi. L'epoca napoleonica fa da spartiacque tra l'Ancien Régime e il periodo liberale anche in Portogallo, il cui sovrano, per sfuggire all'invasione francese, si rifugia in Brasile. Al suo rientro, nel 1821, i principi del liberalismo hanno acquisito importanza e si confrontano assolutisti e fautori della Costituzione; nella prima metà dell'Ottocento vengono promulgati tre testi costituzionali. Tra contrasti e guerre civili, ma anche riforme, si giunge a un sistema politico parlamentare dominato da élites che si spartiscono il potere. Emergono il declino inarrestabile della monarchia, la crisi economica, il ruolo della Chiesa, la difesa delle colonie. Nel Novecento, il regicidio, l'instaurazione della Repubblica, l'ingresso nella Grande Guerra contraddistinguono un periodo di rivolte e instabilità politica fino all'instaurazione nel 1926 di una dittatura, destinata a durare per quasi mezzo secolo. Soltanto negli anni Settanta il Paese lusitano potrà liberarsi del regime autoritario e avviarsi verso la democrazia. Storia politica contemporanea – Portogallo 1808-2000 costituisce un testo fondamentale per conoscere il percorso tramite il quale si è giunti al Portogallo di oggi, inserito nel contesto europeo. Sono coordinatori dell'opera António Costa Pinto e Nuno Gonçalo Monteiro (Instituto de Ciências Sociais della Universidade de Lisboa e ISCTE – Instituto Universitário de Lisboa), con la partecipazione di Rui Branco (Departamento de Estudos Políticos della Universidade Nova de Lisboa), Paulo Jorge Fernandes (Departamento de História della Universidade Nova de Lisboa), Bruno Cardoso Reis (ISCTE – Instituto Universitário de Lisboa).

Der Bundeskanzler regiert gemeinsam mit einigen Abgeordneten, Ministern und dem Bundespräsidenten die Republik. Dieses Regieren zielt auf das Bestimmen über die Ausübung eigener wie fremder Kompetenzen. Einerseits ist es inhaltlich weitestgehend ungebundenes Bestimmen über den Staat. Andererseits wird es politisch reguliert: Es setzt die Mitwirkung Vieler voraus und ist auf Vertrauen angewiesen. Jannis Lennartz stellt das verfassungsrechtliche Fundament anhand des Verhältnisses der Regierenden dar, welches maßgeblich durch die Richtlinienbestimmung gemäß Art. 65 S. 1 GG geordnet wird.

Pavlov's research was foundational to the twentieth-century understanding of physiology and psychology, yet much of his work remains untranslated from the original Russian language. In this book, Olga Yokoyama sets out to translate the third volume of Pavlov's Complete Works, as well as his last unpublished paper. This volume also contains the papers from the sixth edition of Twenty Years of Objective Study of the Higher Nervous Activity of Animals, arguably the most impactful work by the 1904 Nobel Laureate. His concept of the conditional reflex has influenced human thought far beyond physiology, affecting the ways we view not only such practical matters as learning and child-rearing, but philosophical questions of the mind and its relationship to the psyche, creativity, and individual freedom. This translation is accompanied by three introductory essays which contextualize Pavlov's work from three perspectives: that of Pavlov's text as it was subjected to translation, that of neuropsychological science today, and that of the history of scientific thought and practices.

This book explores the cognitive plausibility of computational language models and why it's an important factor in their development and evaluation. The authors present the idea that more can be learned about cognitive plausibility of computational language models by linking signals of cognitive processing load in humans to interpretability methods that allow for exploration of the hidden mechanisms of neural models. The book identifies limitations when applying the existing methodology for representational analyses to contextualized settings and critiques the current emphasis on form over more grounded approaches to modeling language. The authors discuss how novel techniques for transfer and curriculum learning could lead to cognitively more plausible generalization capabilities in models. The book also highlights the importance of instance-level evaluation and includes thorough discussion of the ethical considerations that may arise throughout the various stages of cognitive plausibility research.

This book offers a systematic exploration of the role of religion and religiosity in electoral politics in Catholic, Protestant, and religiously mixed countries across Western Europe and in the United States. The chapters approach the relationship between religion, religiosity, and electoral behaviour from a variety of different angles. They include analyses of secularization trends; comparative studies of the links between vote choice and religiosity; longitudinal single country studies; and a novel discussion of the theoretical underpinnings of the politicization of religion that provides a radically new framework for the analysis of the role of religiosity in election studies. The volume shows that despite the expectations of secularization theory, religiosity remains relevant when casting votes. It also argues that the traditional notion of religious cleavage should be replaced with the more accurate idea of religious voting. Chapters draw on National Election Studies data and comparative datasets such as European Values Studies (EVS), European Social Surveys (ESS), and European Election Studies (EES) to empirically test expectations regarding religious voting. The results show that variations in religious voting are conditional on both the agency of political and ecclesiastical leaders when politicizing religious issues and the legacies of previous societal and political religious conflicts, regardless of whether the original party system had a predominant religious cleavage.

Offering a fresh take on a crucial phase of European history, this book explores the years between the 1980s and 1990s when the European Union took shape. Whilst contributing to existing literature on the Maastricht Treaty and European integration at the end of the twentieth century, the book also brings those debates into the twenty-first century and makes connections with longer-term issues. The transformation of the European political climate in the wake of the global financial crisis in 2008, and the watershed Brexit vote in 2016, has made it all the more urgent to reconsider the way scholars and opinion-makers have looked at European integration in the past. Drawing from recently released archival documents, the authors analyse European cooperation as part of the broader international history in which it unfolded, taking into account the changes in the Cold War order and the advance of a new phase of globalisation. Comparing and contrasting the debates, objectives and achievementsof the 1980s and 1990s with the current political landscape of the European Union, this book proposes a novel interpretation of the choices that were made during the Maastricht years, and of their longer-term consequences.

This contributed volume analyzes flooding scenarios in Brazilian cities using a geographic and spatiotemporal approach to explore impacts and ways to mitigate future disasters. The problem of urban flooding is growing in Brazilian cities due to the increasing number of natural disasters in the context of global climate change; this is a topic that poses challenges to urban planners and academics. Through three sections, this volume offers theoretical-conceptual, methodological and technical case studies, as well as cases that explore urban socio-environmental problems associated with flooding. Throughout the book, the concepts of risk, vulnerability and adaptation are used to explore future flood scenarios in Brazil.The integrated vision offered in this volume covers the floods themselves, evaluation of flood impacts, and the management process before, during, and after the flood event. The case studies presented here elucidate the concept of comprehensive urban flood management, offering a technical and diagnostic basis for the problem in different cities in Brazil. The present and future challenges presented by these chapters offer widely-transferable lessons that can be applied to making cities around the world more sustainable and disaster-resilient.

The years following the 2008 financial crisis produced a surge of political discontent with populism, conspiracism, and Far Right extremism rising across the world. Despite this timing, many of these movements coalesced around cultural issues rather than economic grievances. But if culture, and not economics, is the primary driver of political discontent, why did these developments emerge after a financial collapse, a pattern that repeats throughout the history of the democratic world? Using the framework of'Affective Political Economy', The Age of Discontent demonstrates that emotions borne of economic crises produce cultural discontent, thus enflaming conflicts over values and identities. The book uses this framework to explain the rise of populism and the radical right in the US, UK, Spain, and Brazil, and the social uprising in Chile. It argues that states must fulfill their roles as providers of social insurance and channels for citizen voices if they wish to turn back the tide of political discontent.

The Oxford Handbook of Portuguese Politics brings together the best scholars in the field offering an unrivalled coverage of the politics (broadly defined) of the country over the past 50 years. The Handbook includes eight sections. First, it looks at the past and present by making an overview of Portuguese political developments since democratization in the 1970s. Second, it looks at political institutions as the building blocks of Portuguese democracy. The third section examines mass politics and voters, that is, a thorough analysis of the demand-side of mass politics. The fourth section turns to the supply side of mass-politics by looking at parties and the party system. The fifth section looks at the Portuguese society by unpacking a plethora of societal aspects with direct implications for politics. The sixth section examines governance and public policies, with a view to understanding how a constellation of public policies has an impact on the quality of governance and in fostering well-being. The seventh section looks at Portugal and the European Union. The eighth and final section unpacks Portuguese foreign policy and defence.

This book analyses the multifaceted ways law operates in the context of human mobility, as well as the ways in which human mobility affects law.Migration law is conventionally understood as a tool to regulate human movement across borders, and to define the rights and limits related to this movement. But drawing upon the emergence and development of the discipline of mobility studies, this book pushes the idea of migration law towards a more general concept of mobility that encompass the various processes, effects, and consequences of movement in a globalized world. In this respect, the book pursues a shift in perspective on how law is understood. Drawing on the concepts of ‘kinology'and ‘kinopolitics'developed by Thomas Nail as well as ‘mobility justice'developed by Mimi Sheller, the book considers movement and motion as a constructive force behind political and social systems; and hence stability that needs to be explained and justified. Tracing the processes through which static forms, such as state, citizenship, or border, are constructed and how they partake in production of differential mobility, the book challenges the conventional understanding of migration law. More specifically, and in revealing its contingent and unstable nature, the book reveals how human mobility is itself constitutive of law.This interdisciplinary book will appeal to those working in the areas of migration and refugee law, citizenship studies, mobility studies, legal theory, and sociolegal studies.The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

How music embodies and contributes to historical and contemporary nationalism What does music in Portugal and Spain reveal about the relationship between national and regional identity building? How do various actors use music to advance nationalism? How have state and international heritage regimes contributed to nationalist and regionalist projects? In this collection, contributors explore these and other essential questions from a range of interdisciplinary vantage points. The essays pay particular attention to the role played by the state in deciding what music represents Portuguese or Spanish identity. Case studies examine many aspects of the issue, including local recording networks, so-called national style in popular music, and music's role in both political protest and heritage regimes. Topics include the ways the Salazar and Franco regimes adapted music to align with their ideological agendas; the twenty-first-century impact of UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage program on some of Portugal and Spain's expressive practices; and the tensions that arise between institutions and community in creating and recreating meanings and identity around music.

Já na introdução, a relação problemática entre celeridade e segurança é posta à prova. Isso porque o processo indica caminhos e, por conseguinte, quer ser um meio seguro para se chegar a um fim. Infelizmente, a demora existe. Uma degeneração no processo. Ela dificulta ou aniquila o caminhar, impedindo que o processo seja o que tem de ser: um caminho seguro e tempestivo para a entrega da prestação jurisdicional. Um dos meios para que o problema possa ser enfrentado é a flexibilização procedimental feita pelo juiz ou, em outras palavras, a'adequação formal judicial'. Essa flexibilização pode (ou deve!) ser feita pelo juiz? Quais os fundamentos e requisitos? Isso não seria fonte de insegurança? O livro enfrenta essencialmente essas questões. A partir de uma narrativa histórica, é demonstrado como evoluiu a atuação do magistrado na condução do processo em Portugal. Do juiz árbitro ao juiz ativo, do juiz ativo ao juiz cooperante, passando finalmente ao juiz gestor. Já que somos herdeiros da tradição jurídica portuguesa, isso diz muito para nós. Em seguida, o autor analisa o direito vigente em Portugal, e não para tecer comentários, apenas. Toma-o como ponto de partida para construir uma teoria geral da adequação formal judicial. As respostas construídas forneceram novas perguntas e ideias sobre tema tão instigante. Nelas percebem-se, de modo nítido, os pressupostos, os limites e as formas de controle da adaptação procedimental pelo juiz. Adaptado do prefácio de Beclaute Silva.

En los últimos treinta años, las características del electorado mexicano se han modificado sustantivamente, reflejando un aumento constante de la independencia partidista y una creciente ubicación en la escala ideológica izquierda-derecha. Al profundizar en ambas tendencias, este libro propone de manera novedosa que la ideología ejerce un papel fundamental en la configuración de la independencia partidista al darle una base sólida y una estructura política. Así, a lo largo de esta investigación se incita a la reflexión sobre el papel de los y las ciudadanas sin identificación partidista y acerca de su conformación ideológica como punto de referencia crucial para el rumbo político del país en los años venideros.

Latin American legislators, like legislators worldwide, are drawn from a narrow set of elites who are largely out of touch with average citizens. Despite comprising the vast majority of the labor force, working-class people represent a small slice of the legislature. Working Class Inclusion examines how the near exclusion of working-class citizens from legislatures affects citizens'evaluations of government. Combining surveys from across Latin America with novel data on legislators'class backgrounds and experiments from Argentina and Mexico, the book demonstrates voters want more workers in office, and when combined with policy representation, the presence of working-class legislators improves citizens'evaluations of government. Absent policy representation, however, workers are met with distrust and backlash. Chapters show citizens have many opportunities to learn about the presence, or absence, of workers; and the relationship between working-class representation and evaluations of government is strongest among citizens who are aware of legislators'class status.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic silently started in early 2020, and no one was prepared for it. Unlike the outbreak of SARS in 2002-2003, a similar coronavirus, it was less contagious than COVID-19, but tended to be more deadly. The COVID-19 virus is much more contagious with a relatively lower chance of causing death. Nevertheless, it is still one of the most dangerous viruses in human history. Studies of COVID-19 have attracted tremendous attention from academia and governments. However, they tend to focus on the fields of biology, virology, public health, and psychology instead of the politics, policies, and political attitudes related to the pandemic. Of course, it is critical to understand the nature of this virus and seek proper policy remedies to stop the pandemic and help citizens to regain their everyday lives, but how the pandemic has affected the public and their views toward politics is equally important as it will determine political outcomes in the near future. We compare the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public opinion, the dynamics of party politics in Taiwan, and some of its strategic neighbors.

Over the last one hundred years, the term “sovereignty” has often been associated with the capacity of leaders to declare emergencies and to unleash harmful, extralegal force against those deemed enemies. Friendly Sovereignty explores the blind spots of this influential perspective.Ted H. Miller challenges the view of sovereignty propounded by Carl Schmitt, the Weimar and Nazi–period jurist and political theorist whose theory undergirds this understanding of sovereignty. Claiming a return to concepts of sovereignty forgotten by his liberal contemporaries, Schmitt was preoccupied with the legal exceptions required, he said, to rescue polities in crisis. Much is missing from what Schmitt harvests from the past. His framework systematically overlooks another extralegal power, one that often caused consternation, even among absolutists like Thomas Hobbes. Sovereigns also made exceptions for friends, allies, and dependents. Friendly Sovereignty plumbs the history of political thought about sovereignty to illustrate this other side of the sovereign's exception-making power. At the core of this extensive study are three thinkers, each of whom stakes out a distinct position on the merits and demerits of a “friendly sovereign”: the nineteenth-century historian Jules Michelet, the seventeenth-century political philosopher Thomas Hobbes, and Seneca, the ancient Stoic and teacher of Nero.Analytically rigorous and thorough in its intellectual history, Friendly Sovereignty presents a more comprehensive understanding of sovereignty than the one typically taught today. It will be particularly useful to scholars and students of political theory and philosophy.

The Portuguese Restoration of 1640 ended the dynastic union of Portugal and Spain. This book pioneers in reconstructing the global image discourse related to the event by bringing together visualizations from three decades and four continents. These include paintings, engravings, a statue, coins, emblems, miniatures, a miraculous crosier and other regalia, buildings, textiles, a castrum doloris, drawings, and ivory statues. Situated within the academic field of visual studies, the book interrogates the role of images and depictions before, during, and after the overthrow and how they functioned within the intercontinental communication processes in the Portuguese Empire. The results challenge the conventional notion of center and periphery and reveal unforeseen entanglements as well as an unexpected agency of imagery from the remotest regions under Portuguese control. The book breaks new ground in linking the field of early modern political iconography with transcultural art history and visual studies.

Democracy's Meanings challenges conventional wisdom regarding how the public thinks about and evaluates democracy. Mining both political theory and more than 75 years of public opinion data, the book argues that Americans think about democracy in ways that go beyond voting or elected representation. Instead, citizens have rich and substantive views about the material conditions that democracy should produce, which draw from their beliefs about equality, fairness, and justice. The authors construct a typology of views about democracy. Procedural views of democracy take a minimalistic quality. While voting and fair treatment are important to this vision of democracy, ideas about equality are mostly limited to civil liberties. In contrast, social views of democracy incorporate both civil and economic equality; according to people with these views, democracy ought to meet the basic social and material needs of citizens. Complementing these two groups are moderate and indifferent views about democracy. While moderate views sit somewhere in between procedural and social perspectives regarding the role of democracy in producing social and economic equality, indifferent views of democracy involve disaffection toward it. For a small group of apathetic citizens, democracy is an ambiguous and ill-defined concept.

Indonesia, like many other countries around the world, is currently experiencing the process of democratic backsliding, marked by a toxic mix of religious sectarianism, polarization, and executive overreach. Despite this trend, Indonesians have become more, rather than less, satisfied with their country's democratic practice. What accounts for this puzzle? Unity Through Division examines an overlooked aspect of democracy in Indonesia: political representation. In this country, an ideological cleavage between pluralism and Islamism has long characterized political competition. This cleavage, while divisive, has been a strength of Indonesia's democracy, giving meaning to political participation and allowing a degree of representation not often observed in young democracies. While the recent resurgence of radical Islam and political polarization in Indonesian politics may have contributed to democratic erosion, these factors have simultaneously clarified political alternatives and improved perceptions of representation, in turn bolstering democratic participation and satisfaction. This compelling book effectively challenges the wisdom of the role of Islam in Indonesian political life and provides a fresh analysis for debates on democratic backsliding in Indonesia and beyond.

Ein Bewusstsein von Gestaltungsfreiheiten gesellschaftlichen Fortschritts - das ist auch in der Zeit nach der Französischen Revolution im langen 19. Jahrhundert keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Felix Baumert zieht Alexis de Tocqueville, Karl Marx und Max Weber erstmals gemeinsam heran, um aus ihren verschiedenen Perspektiven zu zeigen, wie sich auch in der modernen Welt einschränkende Möglichkeitsräume oder gar die Erstarrung von Gestaltungsfreiheiten ergeben können. Damit zeigt er die fundamentale Bedeutung von Politik in der Moderne auf, und zwar als notwendiges Instrument der Bewusstwerdung sowie der Absicherung von Gestaltungsfreiheiten.

This volume investigates the reasons behind voter turnout inequalities in contemporary Europe. It looks at the socioeconomic factors that can inhibit electoral participation at the individual level, and how these factors interact with the institutional constraints regulating access to the electoral arena, and considering the changes affecting the class system and occupational opportunities. The volume also reflects on the long-term effects of the 2008 Great Recession on the stability of democracy and the individual lives of voters, who are often deprived of institutional representation and left with the choice between anti-system protest and disengagement from politics.

Constitutional bargains are seen as cornerstones of democratic transitions in much of the world. Yet very few studies have theorized about the link between constitution-making and democratization. Shifting the focus on democratization away from autocratic regime break down, this book considers the importance of inclusive constitution-building for democratization. In this pathbreaking volume, Tofigh Maboudi draws on a decade of research on the Arab Spring to explain when and how constitutional bargains facilitate (or hinder) democratization. Here, he argues that constitutional negotiations have a higher prospect of success in establishing democracy if they resolve societal, ideological, and political ills. Emphasizing the importance of constitution-making processes, Maboudi shows that constitutions can resolve these problems best through participatory and inclusive processes. Above all, The'Fall'of the Arab Spring demonstrates that civil society is the all-important link that connects constitutional bargaining processes to democratization.

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the distribution of public money and its political and societal implications. Drawing on evidence from central and eastern Europe, it offers an innovative insight into public responses to various strategies of public spending. Given that public expenditures are funded mainly from tax revenues, it also assesses public attitudes to politically motivated allocations of funds. The book seeks to identify how people evaluate the material benefits of funding in light of the fairness - or lack thereof - of the distribution process, whether popular acceptance of variations in public spending depends on the framing of the beneficiaries, and the implications of money allocation for political trust in political institutions.

This unique collection explores the complex issue of vigilantism, how it is represented in popular culture, and what is its impact on behavior and the implications for the rule of law. The book is a transnational investigation across a range of eleven different jurisdictions, including accounts of the Anglophone world (Australia, Britain, Canada, and the United States), European experiences (Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, and Portugal), and South American jurisdictions (Argentina and Brazil). The essays, written by prominent international scholars in law, sociology, criminology, and media studies, present data, historical and recent examples of vigilantism; examine the national Laws and jurisprudence; and focus on the broad theme of vigilante justice in popular culture (literature, films, television). Vigilante Justice in Society and Popular Culture sheds light on this topic offering a detailed look beyond the Anglophone world. This collection will enrich the debate by adding the opportunity for comparison which has been largely lacking in scholarly debate. As such, it will appeal not only to scholars of law, sociology, criminology, and media studies, but also to all those who are engaged with these topics alike.

A complete guide for how small states can be strikingly successful and influential--if they assess their situations and adapt their strategies. Small states are crucial actors in world politics. Yet, they have been relegated to a second tier of International Relations scholarship. In A Small State's Guide to Influence in World Politics, Tom Long shows how small states can identify opportunities and shape effective strategies to achieve their foreign policy goals. To do so, Long puts small states'relationships at the center of his approach. Although small states are defined by their position as materially weaker actors vis-a-vis large states, Long argues that this condition does not condemn them to impotence or irrelevance. Drawing on typological theory, Long builds an explanation of when and how small states might achieve their goals. The book assesses a global range of cases-both successes and failures-and offers a set of tools for scholars and policymakers to understand how varying international conditions shape small states'opportunities for influence.
