TL;DR: In this article, the authors define a possible concept of judicial activism and its origins in the United States juridical tradition and discuss the prospects for an activist judge in Brazil, especially when acting in the protection of fundamental rights and ensuring the supremacy of the constitution.
Abstract: This article has as general goal to find parameters in order to determine when the judicial activism leaves the field of legal argumentation and becomes an instrument of political decision. To this end, we started trying to define a possible concept of judicial activism and its origins in the United States juridical tradition. In this first moment, we use the historical analytical method to try to contextualize historically the conceptual categories under study and the conditions of emergence of this phenomenon in the United States. Following, on the basis of the critical comparative method, we began to study the fundamental elements that characterize political rationality and legal rationality. At the end, we discuss the prospects for an activist judge in Brazil, especially when acting in the protection of fundamental rights and ensuring the supremacy of the constitution. In general terms, our conclusions points to a set of criteria for the definition of what would be a so-called positive judicial activism, to the detriment of its other sort that is harmful to the wealth of the constitutional order.

Abstract: O presente artigo analisa a judicializacao da politica demonstrando que nao se trata apenas de um fenomeno brasileiro, mas de algo comum a diversos paises ocidentais. Esse movimento tem sofrido severas criticas, que questionam a sua legitimidade e apontam o esvaziamento da esfera politica. Em contraponto, e tracado um paralelo com a doutrina da autorrestricao judicial, a qual defende que as questoes politicas devem ser enfrentadas pelos poderes eleitos. Por fim, procura-se demonstrar, por meio da analise de decisoes do STF e do STJ, como o Poder Judiciario brasileiro tem se manifestado em questoes de politicas publicas, de modo a realizar os direitos fundamentais plasmados na Carta de 1988.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify dimensions related to the concept of judicial governance studied in recent empirical researches, and discuss how these dimensions can push the performance of the Brazilian judicial system.
Abstract: The Brazilian justice management faces chronic difficulties of accessibility of lower income population to justice, the slowness and low effectiveness of the judicial decisions. In order to contribute to the analysis of solutions to these difficulties, the objectives of this paper are to identify dimensions related to the concept of judicial governance studied in recent empirical researches, and discuss how these dimensions can push the performance of the Brazilian judicial system. The following dimensions were identified: Judicial Independence, Accountability, Accessibility to Justice; Structure of the Judiciary; Strategic Resources of the Judiciary, and Judiciary's Performance. Faced with the scarcity of empirical studies on management of the judiciary, specially on Brazilian courts, research proposals are made, including the following: (a) to evaluate the influence of the development of strategic resources in the performance of the judiciary; and (b) to evaluate the impact of increased judicial independence and accountability on reducing corruption of the Brazilian judicial system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze the viability of constructing a fairer and more dignified life for all, based on parameters of different developments, and therefore alternatives in relation to the parameters defined and imposed by the hegemonic model currently practiced by the western world, which has demonstrated to be indifferent to the mistakes and evils that spread along countries and peripheral regions.
Abstract: This paper focuses on the following question: is it viable to think of another form of an alternative development for the brazilian Amazon - in relation to the hegemonic way - under which the region inhabitants and nature are not excessively exploited, nature better conserved and social conflicts reduced? As an answer, the study seeks to analyze the viability of constructing a fairer and more dignified life for all, based on parameters of different developments, and therefore alternatives in relation to the parameters defined and imposed by the hegemonic model currently practiced by the western world, which has demonstrated to be indifferent to the innumerous mistakes and evils that spread along countries and peripheral regions. This is not about denying the existence of a globalization process underway and its impacts, especially those on the peripheral regions; but to believe that despite it, it is possible to concurrently develop positive and very significant changes in favor of the region and its people, as long as there is a mobilization of the many internal forces and the Amazon available resources.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of political, economic, and juridical variables on abstract judicial review decisions from 1999 to 2004 was investigated. But the results showed that the STF decides in such a multiple behavior, sometimes letting itself being influenced by legal variables, sometimes deciding motivated by political or economical variables, according to the logic demonstrated.
Abstract: This article is related to an area of investigation called judicial politics. Based on the hypothesis that Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) acts as a government body, it was tested the influence of political , economic, and juridical variables on abstract judicial review decisions from 1999 to 2004. For that purpose, a dataset of 162 cases concerning judicialization of state politics was developed. Using logistic regression, it was concluded that the STF is more sensible to certain groups of actors than others, declares the unconstitutionality of legislation when this legislation brings negative impact on state finances and judge in favor of Presidents' agenda. As a conclusion, we verified that Brazilian Supreme Court decides in such a multiple behavior, sometimes letting itself being influenced by legal variables, sometimes deciding motivated by political or economical variables, according to the logic demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the STF ministers' position in relation to homosexual union according to Axel Honneth and Nancy Fraser philosophies of recognition and demonstrate that the paradigm of achievement is imprecise and can't legitimate forms of judicial activism aimed to protect the rights of homosexual unions.
Abstract: The homosexual union rights are debated as one of the most controversial topics of Constitutional Law. It is known that the homosexual union was not explicitly recognized by the article 226 § 3o from FC, as there is no specific regulation for this subject. This paper intends to investigate STF ministers' position in relation to homosexual union according to Axel Honneth and Nancy Fraser philosophies of recognition. In this sense, the philosophical basis from recognition theories may be a theoretical instrument to comprehend some forms of judicial activism which aims are to protect stigmatized minorities whose regulatory intentions are disregarded by the political process. We intend to demonstrate that the Honneth's paradigm of achievement is imprecise and can't legitimate forms of judicial activism aimed to protect the rights of homosexual unions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the relation between constitucionalism and direitos nao is presented, a partir da teoria garantista, e dos direitós humanos, com base on a teoria critica da reinvencao, and a desafio teorico quanto pratico do seculo 21.
Abstract: Este artigo tem como objeto a reflexao sobre o fundamento dos direitos humanos e sua indissociavel relacao com os direitos fundamentais, no âmbito do estado de direito contemporâneo. Para tanto, procuraremos estabelecer possiveis convergencias teoricas entre Joaquin Herrera Flores e Luigi Ferrajoli. A analise dos direitos fundamentais, a partir da teoria garantista, e dos direitos humanos, com base da teoria critica da reinvencao, e tanto um desafio teorico quanto pratico do seculo 21. Isto, em virtude da necessidade da investigacao de seus fundamentos teoricos e possibilidades de efetivacao na dialetica da praxis da vida em sociedade, para que as conquistas historicas de direitos nao sejam reduzidas a mera retorica hegemonico-conservadora de uma ordem global fundada na desigualdade e exploracao. Percebe-se, entao, que o constitucionalismo e os direitos nao importam em conquistas, mas em programas normativos a serem buscados diariamente, tal como a democracia e a paz. Nesse sentido, situa-se a importância do estudo dos direitos, estejam eles em normativas nacionais ou internacionais, bem como situa-lo sem sua transitoriedade e constante construcao, em suma, em sua historicidade, para serem efetivamente garantidos.

TL;DR: In this article, a qualitative, dialectical and jurisprudential approach was used to analyze the Principle of Liability according to Hans Jonas in order to dialogue with the Institute of Civil Environmental Liability, identifying the doctrinary controversies about the nature of state liability (objective or subjective) towards cases of neglect by the public administration and the event of environmental damage.
Abstract: The Federal Constitution of 1988 is a 'water divisor' since it assumes the role of Environmental Constitution, causing a rapture of the concept of civil liability. Starting from a qualitative, dialectical and jurisprudential approach, this article analyzes the Principle of Liability according to Hans Jonas in order to dialogue with the Institute of Civil Environmental Liability, identifying, with the support of the constitutional and infraconstitutional legislation, the doctrinary controversies about the nature of state liability (objective or subjective) towards cases of neglect by the public administration and the event of environmental damage. It is possible to conclude that the Higher Court of Justice assumes a larger dimension of the civil liability of the State, thus showing the tendency towards the objective civil liability based on the risk. Therefore, Brazil, regarded some doctrinary differences, adopts the objective civil liability for the State through the theory of administrative risk based on the illicit act and the acceptance of the risk.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors made a comparison between Chinese regime and the U.S. and EU's standards on AML and its merger enforcement by examining the implementing regulations and orders related to merger control which were issued after the enactment of the AML.
Abstract: As the biggest emerging economy and a major economic power in the world, China is a late but a significant entrant into the competition law club, with the implementation of a new Anti-Monopoly Law (AML) on 1st August, 2008. The article focuses on the merger enforcement by examining the implementing regulations and orders related to merger control which were issued after the enactment of the AML. In light of the substantive standards and the procedural requirements of merger control, the article makes a comparison between Chinese regime and the U.S. and EU's standards. Some empirical findings on the AML and its merger enforcement has largely illustrated that China is making its efforts to realize a soft convergence with international norms, meanwhile, the gradual approach of convergence gives China the flexibility to stop, to adjust and to make an exception whenever necessary.

TL;DR: In this article, a texto discute as relacoes possiveis, de complementar idade e detensao, entre o direito islâmico and os direitos nacionais, entbetween o direitios nacional and private, and entre the two types of entities.
Abstract: O direito islâmico e pouco conhecido entre nos, mas a sua relevância e crescente. Este artigo pretende remediar em parte a falta e demonstrar em parte a relevância, apresentando o direito islâmico como um sistema juridico diferenciado e discutindo suas caracteristicas fundamentais. Estabelecida essa base de compreensao, o texto discute as relacoes possiveis, de complementar idade e detensao, entre o direito islâmico e os direitos nacionais, entre o direito islâmico e o direito internacional privado e entre o direito islâmico e o direito internacional publico. Sendo o direito islâmico um conjunto normativo com vocacao para reger todas as areas da vida em sociedade e ocupando um lugar que lhe e ainda reservado por muitos estados, pode ser chamado a desempenhar papeis inesperados pelo jogo das regras de conflito de leis e de conflito de jurisdicoes do direito internacional privado, assim como pode afetar o desenvolvimento do direito internacional publico, especialmente na medida em que influencia as suas fontes.

TL;DR: The case of the Jardim Botânico da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, onde, ao longo do tempo, se instalou a Comunidade Do Horto, by meio de ocupacoes consolidadas in area da Uniao Federal.
Abstract: O objetivo deste artigo reside na analise do caso do Jardim Botânico da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, onde, ao longo do tempo, se instalou a Comunidade do Horto, por meio de ocupacoes consolidadas em area da Uniao Federal. A questao encontra-se judicializada ea partir de processos iniciados nos anos 1980 (nos quais a propria Uniao e parte autora) que visaram a retirada dos moradores. Levaremos em conta que a politica de gestao de imoveis da uniao tem passado, nesse periodo, por um processo continuo e gradativo de mudanca de visao, com particular referencia as areas que possuem ocupacoes consolidadas, com moradias instaladas. A complexidade das relacoes entre os mais diversos atores institucionais envolvidos permite uma abordagem voltada para a percepcao, no campo da realidade, de como o direito a moradia deve (ou pode) se materializar frente a compreensao de argumentos tradicionais do direito. A investigacao pressupoe a analise de processo administrativo instruido no âmbito da câmara de conciliacao e arbitragem da administracao publica federal, utilizando-se os metodos historico-comparativo, conceitual-dedutivo e empirico-indutivo. Trataremos de demonstrar a validade da teoria politica desenvolvida pela critica comunitarista norte-americana e sua especial contribuicao para as nocoes de justica segundo a concepcao contemporânea. Contextualizaremos o problema concreto enfrentado pela Comunidade do Horto, seu historico, e esbocaremos o perfil da comunidade, a partir da exposicao de dados socioeconomicos das pessoas que habitam o local. Examinaremos as politicas publicas de gestao dos imoveis da uniao, destacando o papel da secretaria do patrimonio da uniao e as mudancas paradigmaticas dessa gestao, sensivelmente percebidas nas ultimas duas decadas. Passaremos em revista a argumentacao delineada em uma acao judicial possessoria individual -o caso Gracinda - que deu origem a uma auditoria realizada pelo Tribunal de Contas da Uniao, que culminou em decisao proferida pela Corte de Contas, em setembro de 2012, a qual tambem sera objeto de nossa analise. Situa-se o tema, portanto, no campo da efetividade dos direitos, entre a norma juridica e o fato social.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze the principle of insignificance in criminal law and reflect on what is the best way to operationalize it dogmatically and present the main conceptions used by national doctrine and court decisions to apply it, in order to weigh on the systematic and political advantages and disadvantages inherent to each of them.
Abstract: This article aims to analyze the principle of insignificance in Criminal Law and reflect on what is the best way to operationalize it dogmatically. After an introduction that briefly deals with the context of emergence of this principle, the text presents the main conceptions used by national doctrine and court decisions to apply it, in order to weigh on the systematic and political advantages and disadvantages inherent to each of them. At this point, the article discusses the conception advocated by the prevailing national doctrine - according to which the insignificance is to be understood as a clause of exclusion of the "material typicality" of a conduct -, and suggests that this conception can be the basis of serious misunderstandings committed by our courts at the time of determine whether a conduct is criminally insignificant or not. Finally the text tries to point out some general outlines of a dogmatic formulation more appropriate to this principle, aiming to overcome the various difficulties that arise from the adoption of the majority view on this subject in Brazil.

TL;DR: The Lisbon Treaty as mentioned in this paper introduced a new Title II in the Treaty on the European Union, called "Provisions on Democratic Principles", that seems to complement the already existing provisions on European citizenship.
Abstract: The Lisbon Treaty, In line with the failed European Constitution, introduced a new Title II in the Treaty on the European Union, called "Provisions on Democratic Principles", that seems to complement the already existing provisions on European citizenship. A new conception of the European citizen, distinct from the one already known, is being designed. Moreover, the recent case-law of the European Court of Justice has on its part reinforced the European citizenship that increasingly appears as the "Status of the Nationals of the Member States", even in purely internal situations.

TL;DR: The Brazilian bill of rights for internet users, or "marco civil," has been under consideration at the brazilian congress since 2011 as discussed by the authors, and its provisions for network neutrality have been particularly controversial.
Abstract: The "Brazilian bill of rights for internet users," or "marco civil," has been under consideration at the brazilian congress since 2011. Marco civil's provisions for network neutrality have been particularly controversial. Proponents of network neutrality in Brazil advocate for the "equal treatment" of all data packets, including banning internet service providers from offering to content providers the option to purchase enhanced quality of service in the delivery of data packets. These network neutrality rules conflict with the other goals and principles of marco civil-particularly goals to promote internet access, to foster innovation, and to protect the constitutional right of freedom of speech and the free flow of information.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a legal analysis of the Direct Action of Unconstitutionality 3239-9, which discusses the correct interpretation of the right of quilombo communities to their territories (article 68 of the Transitory Constitutional Provisions ACT).
Abstract: This year, the Brazilian Supreme Court will judge the Direct Action of Unconstitutionality 3239-9, which discusses the correct interpretation of the right of quilombo communities to their territories (article 68 of the Transitory Constitutional Provisions ACT). The decision of this process will bring social impacts, especially in the land market, and will compel the Court to face the dilemmas of constitutional jurisdiction, such as its democratic legitimacy, its commitment to the realization of fundamental rights and the problem of material consequences of hard cases decisions. Based on the thesis that the quilombo territories are fundamental rights, this text seeks to demarcate the key issues of this lawsuit, whose analysis is imposed, according to appropriate hermeneutical methods, if the Court wants to come to an effective jurisdictional providing, that is, capable of promoting social peace and promote the effectiveness of fundamental rights, which embody the ultimate reason of the judicial function in the context of the Constitutional State.

TL;DR: In this article, a reforma do codigo de processo penal do Republica da Brazil is discussed, with respect to a preceito constitucional de respeito aos direitos humanos.
Abstract: Este artigo busca avaliar em que medida os direitos humanos do acusado, previstos na Constituicao Federal estao sendo afetados pelas leis 11.719/08 e 1 1.689/08 as quais, em conjunto, promoveram uma ampla reforma do Codigo de Processo Penal. A primeira alterou a forma de processamento dos crimes comuns ea segunda a forma de processamento dos crimes dolosos contra a vida. Nosso estudo foi realizado a partir do (1) contraponto de tais regras com o preceito constitucional de respeito aos direitos humanos; e (2] da analise de julgados produzidos com mencao a essas leis no periodo compreendido entre setembro de 200 8 e setembro de 2009. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que a reforma realizou uma aproximacao entre as leis processuais penais (datadas da decada de 1940) eo preceito inserido na Constituicao Federal de respeito aos direitos humanos, ampliando a sintoni a entre essas duas ordens normati vas no Brasil. Essa alteracao ocorre em consonância com mudancas recentes na cultura juridica do pais, que buscam, justamente efetivar o moderno entendimento de direitos humanos consagrado no texto constitucional. No entanto, ainda restam casos nebulosos, cuja compatibilizacao entre as leis processuais e o texto constitucional cabera primordialmente a atividade jurisdicional, especialmente afetada por dimensoes outras da cultura juridica brasileira, como a supremacia do interesse do estado sobre os interesses das partes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the notion of legitimacy of norms of public international law as purposed by the lawyer and professor of New York University, Thomas Franck, was discussed and discussed in a theoretical as well as multidisciplinary purpose.
Abstract: The aim of this article is to debate the notion of legitimacy of norms of public international law as purposed by the lawyer and professor of New York University, Thomas Franck. This contribution consists on a theoretical as well as multidisciplinary purpose in order to describe how the legitimacy of norms of international law could be evaluated through specific pedigree criteria. Beyond the criteria of determination, symbolic validation, coherence and adherence, this effort concerns to answer why the fairness wouldn't a criterion for the qualification of legitimacy in terms of international law norms.
