The Rule of Law in Brazil
Author: Juliano Zaiden Benvindo
Publisher: Hart Publishing
ISBN: 1509934952
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
'Rule of law' is not a simple concept when it comes to defining the political, economic, and legal developments of a country like Brazil which is a young democracy, struggling with longstanding extractive institutions and entrenched interests. In this book, Juliano Zaiden Benvindo offers a broad perspective of the functioning, evolution and dynamics of the 'Rule of Law' in Brazil from different perspectives. In the context of a rising crisis of liberal principles and 'democratic decay' in global constitutionalism, the book explores how Brazilian democracy has dealt with the authoritarian mindset which still plays a big role in the fate of the country, and whether the democratic achievements and institutional framework that have strengthened over the years are sufficiently capable of defending the 'rule of law' as an imperative for Brazil's development, especially in times when the country seems mostly in need of them.

Constitutional Erosion in Brazil
Author: Emilio Peluso Neder Meyer
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781509941971
Category : Constitutional law
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
"This book provides a fascinating analysis of a single jurisdiction, Brazil, and accounts for both the successes and the failures of its most recent constitutional project, inaugurated by the Constitution of 1988. It sets out the following aspects of the constitutional development and erosion: - the different phases of the promised transition from military rule to a 'social-democratic constitutionalism'; - the obstacles to democratisation derived from the absence of true institutional reforms in the judicial branch and in the civil-military relationship; - the legal and social practices which maintained a structure that obstructed the emergence of an effective social-democracy, such as the neoliberal pattern, the acceptance in the political field of unlawful organisations, such as the milícias, and the way the digital revolution has been harming the formation of democratic sovereignty. Situating Brazil in the global context of the revival of authoritarianism, it details the factors which are common to the third wave of democratisation reflux. Accounting for those aspects, particular to the Brazilian jurisdiction, it shows that there is a tension in the Brazilian constitution. On the one hand, such constitutionalism was renewed by democratic pressure on governments to undertake social politics since 1988. On the other hand, it retained authoritarian practices through the hands of diverse institutions and political actors. By exploring the idea of 'social-democratic constitutionalism' the book presents a comparative look at jurisdictions which share a similar sharp inequality including Thailand, Argentina and South Africa."--

Federalism and Decentralisation in Eastern Europe
Author: Miodrag A. Jovanović
Publisher: Lit Verlag
ISBN:
Category : Decentralization in government
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Although fully aware of the gravity of violent ethnic wars and challenges that multiethnic societies pose for any democratic polity, both authors endorse multicultural democracy. Jovanovic argues against territorial accommodation of ethnic demands and in favour of community-based minority rights policy. Samardzic understands territorial decentralisation as an indispensable guarantee for a fully-fledged protection of minority ethnic groups. Despite this major conceptual difference, they put forward democratic legitimacy as a fundamental condition for peaceful multiethnic societies.
