Lava Jato and the Crisis In this controversial and surprising book: Geopolitics of Intervention, lawyer and political scientist Fernando Augusto Fernandes dismantles the story that Operation Car Wash was (and still is) an unsuspected investigation to combat the crimes of corrupt politicians and prominent corrupt business people. Its primary purpose was to destabilize the PT government, hit the democratic system, destroy national engineering, weaken the oil and gas program, and facilitate the looting of national wealth. All to create the conditions needed for a right-wing liberal government, which ended up resulting in the election of an underdog and the most signifi cant political, economic, social, and health crisis ever experienced by the country.
Penal Abolitionism and Transformative Justice in Brazil discusses how penal abolitionism provides fundamental theoretical bases and practical references for the construction of a transformative justice in Brazil, supporting the claim that justice is a socially constructed conception and that victims do not unanimously stand for punishment. The book explores how the active participation of the protagonists of a conflict in a face-to-face negotiation of symbolic reparation, can produce a sense of justice without the need to punish or impose suffering on anyone. Mapping the ways that restorative justice in Brazil has distanced itself from the potential of transformative justice, to the extent t...
O arquétipo do crime se alterou: sempre houve na carta de crimes a predominância da "criminalidade simples", aqui também denominada de "delito de certeza visual", que é aquele cuja verificação é obtida tão somente com a análise da fotografia externa do fato. Tais delitos, pela simplicidade em se identificar a sua prática, pela pouca confusão que ensejam em distinguir entre tipicidade a atipicidade e, principalmente, pela fácil localização do sujeito passivo, foram aqui alcunhados de "simples". Desde meados do século passado, mudanças significativas ocorreram na elaboração dos delitos, com a inclusão da tutela de bens supraindividuais, a ampliação da sujeição ativa para...
In this thoroughly researched work, David M. Gitlitz traces the lives and fortunes of three clusters of sixteenth-century crypto-Jews in Mexico’s silver mining towns. Previous studies of sixteenth-century Mexican crypto-Jews focus on the merchant community centered in Mexico City, but here Gitlitz looks beyond Mexico’s major population center to explore how clandestine religious communities were established in the reales, the hinterland mining camps, and how they differed from those of the capital in their struggles to retain their Jewish identity in a world dominated economically by silver and religiously by the Catholic Church. In Living in Silverado Gitlitz paints an unusually vivid portrait of the lives of Mexico’s early settlers. Unlike traditional scholarship that has focused mainly on macro issues of the silver boom, Gitlitz closely analyzes the complex workings of the haciendas that mined and refined silver, and in doing so he provides a wonderfully detailed sense of the daily experiences of Mexico’s early secret Jews.
International criminal justice relies on messages, speech acts, and performative practices in order to convey social meaning. Major criminal proceedings, such as Nuremberg, Tokyo, and other post-World War II trials have been branded as 'spectacles of didactic legality'. However, the expressive and communicative functions of law are often side-lined in institutional discourse and legal practice. This innovative work brings these functions centre-stage, developing the idea of justice as message and outlining the expressivist foundations of international criminal justice in a systematic way. Professor Carsten Stahn examines the origins of the expressivist theory in the sociology of law and the ...
No presente trabalho, é realizada uma análise histórico-conceitual do terrorismo na sociedade brasileira até a sua definição e classificação atual em nosso sistema jurídico penal, examinando as principais características do Direito Penal do inimigo de Günther Jakobs, bem como as críticas a essa teoria, trazidas por Manuel Cancio Meliá e Eugenio Raúl Zaffaroni, e suas influências na legislação brasileira. A influência do Direito Penal do inimigo, com a opção do combate ao terrorismo, através de um direito prospectivo, lança os olhos para o futuro, em uma tentativa de neutralização de um possível crime que poderá acontecer. Não estamos diante do direito penal do fato...
