Radiography To The Chilean Human Rights Institution: Between Law And Politics, Sergio Verdugo Sverdugor@Udd.Cl, José Francisco Garía
Sergio Verdugo R.
The article examines the fundamental recommendations for the national human rights institutions (NHRI) to function with proper autonomy against the state and, also, against NGOs that try to capture the commission´s agenda. The authors analyse the institutional design of the Chilean Human Rights Institution (INDH) and evaluates the profile and the nomination process of its membership. The paper provides evidence that demonstrates that the INDH´s research agenda is associated with a partial political view. Then, the authors suggest certain changes to strengthen the independence of the INDH.

Funcionários Públicos E Preconceitos Privados, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Funcionários Públicos E Preconceitos Privados, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Açoitado pela crise, o País está crispado, e aponta o dedo a bodes expiatórios. Os verdadeiros culpados pela crise são porém fáceis de encontrar - e nalguns países encontraram-nos, julgaram-nos e condenaram-nos. Mas é interessante como aqui se desviam as atenções para grupos tradicionalmente estigmatizados pelas culpas alheias. Um dos alvos preferidos são os funcionários públicos.

Radio In India:The Fm Revolution And Its Impact On Indian Listeners, Ratnesh Dwivedi Mr
Ratnesh Dwivedi
If you ask most people who invented Radio, the name Marconi comes to mind. Usually KDKA Pittsburgh is the response when you ask about the first Radio station. But are these really Radio's firsts? In the interest of curiosity and good journalism, we set out to determine if these were in fact Radio's firsts. Broadcasting began in India with the formation of a private radio service in Madras (presently Chennai) in 1924. In the very same year, British colonial government approved a license to a private company, the Indian Broadcasting Company, to inaugurate Radio stations in Bombay and Kolkata. The …
Direito À Língua Portuguesa E Lusofonia, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Direito À Língua Portuguesa E Lusofonia, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Há manobras de diversão no problema do Direito à Língua, nos países lusófonos. Não é o Acordo ortográfico que nos deita os parentes na lama (muita da argumentação contra ele parece ser xenófoba, preconceituosa, etc.). O que realmente nos prejudica a língua e a cabeça lusófona é a capitulação provinciana de muitos de nós e das nossas instituições ao falar e ao pensar da globalização. Porque a Língua é a casa do ser, se falarmos (e pensarmos) muito numa língua alheia, a nossa cabeça começa a moldar-se à cosmovisão desse idioma. Sem prejuízo, é claro, da necessidade de conhecer o …
Towards Cyber Operations The New Role Of Academic Cyber Security Research And Education, Jan Kallberg, Bhavani Thuraisingham
Towards Cyber Operations The New Role Of Academic Cyber Security Research And Education, Jan Kallberg, Bhavani Thuraisingham
Jan Kallberg
Abstract – The shift towards cyber operations represents a shift not only for the defense establishments worldwide but also cyber security research and education. Traditionally cyber security research and education has been founded on information assurance, expressed in underlying subfields such as forensics, network security, and penetration testing. Cyber security research and education is connected to the homeland security agencies and defense through funding, mutual interest in the outcome of the research, and the potential job market for graduates. The future of cyber security is both defensive information assurance measures and active defense driven information operations that jointly and coordinately …

A Crise Económico-Financeira Europeia: Preconceitos E Realidades, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Uma cortina de fumo pseudo-científica obnubila a realidade de um ataque brutal aos países periféricos da Europa, mais especificamente aos da grande civilização mediterrânica: grecos e latinos. Como é possível que quem tanto legou à Europa e ao Mundo seja agora estigmatizado como preguiçoso e caloteiro? Há uma guerra económica coberta por uma guerra ideológica. E nesta última os próprios visados (e alguns que deles deveriam ser solidários) deixam-se lamentavelmente convencer e autoflagelam-se como culpados. Há culpados, mas não são Povos que sempre viveram com dificuldades...
“This Is What Democracy Looks Like”: Is Representation Under Siege?, Jose Pedro Zuquete
“This Is What Democracy Looks Like”: Is Representation Under Siege?, Jose Pedro Zuquete
Jose Pedro Zuquete
Since the end of the 20th century loud calls for reinstating the rule of the people in liberal democracies have been heard, particularly in but not limited to alter-globalization circles devoted to creating another world. This trend has been strengthened in the passage to the 21st century and this article traces the influences behind it, as well as the motivations and ways in which representative democracy is rejected by activists in favor of a new system that fulfills what is perceived as the original promise of democracy to bring power to all the people. The article concludes with a discussion …

A Decisive Social Media: Domination Of Social Media In Deciding News Content-A Case Study Of American Media And Trayvon Martin Tragedy, Ratnesh Dwivedi Mr
Ratnesh Dwivedi
More than a quarter of Americans (27%) now get news on mobile devices, and for the vast majority, this is increasing news consumption, the report finds. More than 80% of smartphone and tablet news consumers still get news on laptop or desktop computers. On mobile devices, news consumers also are more likely to go directly to a news site or use an app, rather than to rely on search — strengthening the bond with traditional news brands. Almost immediately after the February 26 shooting of Trayvon Martin, the conversation about the case began simmering on Twitter. But it was nearly …
Carl Schmitt's Critique Of Liberalism And The European Union, Kyle S. Herman
Carl Schmitt's Critique Of Liberalism And The European Union, Kyle S. Herman
Dr. Kyle S. Herman
I invoke Carl Schmitt's Critique of Liberalism outlined in "The Concept of the Political" to better understand the European Union (EU) as a governmental institution. It is my contention that the EU is a liberal institution, with the sole intent to drive economic policy while ignoring identity, similar to what Schmitt rails against in his critique of liberalism. For that reason I demonstrate how the EU fits well into the mold Schmitt laid out to identify liberal politics. Therefore I use Schmitt's critique as both a starting point for defining the European Union and, by superimposing his critique onto the …

Research is an endeavor to discover answers to intellectual and practical problems through the application of scientific method. “Research is a systematized effort to gain new knowledge”. -Redman and Mory. Research is the systematic process of collecting and analyzing information (data) in order to increase our understanding of the phenomenon about which we are concerned or interested. The purpose of research is to discover answers through the application of scientific procedures. The objectives are: To gain familiarity with a phenomenon or to achieve new insights into it – Exploratory or Formulative Research. To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular …

Higher Education In India : The Glory Of Past,The Challenges Of Today And The Road For Tomorrow, Ratnesh Dwivedi Mr
Ratnesh Dwivedi
Universal education of all children in literacy has been a recent development, not occurring in many countries until after 1850 CE. Even today, in some parts of the world, literacy rates are below 60 per cent (for example, in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh). Schools, colleges and universities have not been the only methods of formal education and training. Many professions have additional training requirements, and in Europe, from the Middle Ages until recent times, the skills of a trade were not generally learnt in a classroom, but rather by serving an apprenticeship. Each generation, since the beginning of human existence, has …

Constituição E Política, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Entre a Política e Direito, o Direito Constitucional está hoje esquecido entre nós? Ainda temos Constituição? Este livro procura perguntas e respostas para esta crise constitucional em que vivemos sem que se dê o nome à doença. Só com um diagnóstico rigoroso se poderão encontrar medicamentos e trabalhar pela cura. Propomos mais e não menos concretização da Constituição. Não é ela a lei das leis da República? Ou desistimos então também de estar num Estado de Direito?
Os Perigosos Sábios Do Sião Ii, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Os Perigosos Sábios Do Sião Ii, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Os momentos de aguda crise económica e social, como o que se vive e parece que se irá agravar, são propensos a populismos e demagogia de potenciais candidatos a ditadores, que aproveitam a falta de educação de que a democracia é responsável para manipularem as massas e as fazerem crer em bodes expiatórios. Ingenuamente, os preconceitos são reproduzidos em cadeia. Normalmente, há uma lista comum de "suspeitos do costume". Chega-se ao cúmulo de os que vêm a seguir na lista serem enganados ao ponto de culparem os que estão antes. A defesa da Democracia passa também pelo esclarecimento e pela …

You Say You Want A (Nonviolent) Revolution, Well Then What? Translating Western Thought, Strategic Ideological Cooptation, And Institution Building For Freedom For Governments Emerging Out Of Peaceful Chaos, Donald J. Kochan
Donald J. Kochan
With nonviolent revolution in particular, displaced governments leave a power and governance vacuum waiting to be filled. Such vacuums are particularly susceptible to what this Article will call “strategic ideological cooptation.” Following the regime disruption, peaceful chaos transitions into a period in which it is necessary to structure and order the emergent governance scheme. That period in which the new government scheme emerges is particularly fraught with danger when growing from peaceful chaos because nonviolent revolutions tend to be decentralized, unorganized, unsophisticated, and particularly vulnerable to cooptation. Any external power wishing to influence events in societies emerging out of peaceful …

Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Julga-se o grau de civilização de um país pelo relevo que nele têm os preconceitos enraízados, essas pseudo-verdades que não se discutem. Falta em espírito crítico o que sobra em demagogia. Estamos a assistir nalguns pontos da Europa, e mesmo em Portugal (onde os nossos brandos costumes e convivência ancestrais também convivem com um inconsciente coletivo de inquisição e polícia política), a um crescendo na criação de bodes expiatórios, que é uma das formas clássicas de fuga aos problemas sociais e económicos crescentes (a outra é a guerra: ainda aí não chegamos...). Descarregar a culpa sobre "os suspeitos do costume" …
Complementary Institutions And Reflexive Governance In Autonomous Social Law, Richard R. Weiner
Complementary Institutions And Reflexive Governance In Autonomous Social Law, Richard R. Weiner
Richard R Weiner
We approach institutions as stabilizing structures with consequences of functional incorporateness. Yet we also imagine, assert and enact claims and warrants as institutionalizable practices. There are functional supports. And there are the warranted claims of categorical normativity. Normativity in itself can be understood in terms of compliance with or acquiescence in legitimating structures. Yet normativity itself can be understood as a solidarism we intersubjectively co-constitute. The challenge in political thought has been dealing with the disincorporateness associated with modernity, specifically how a new order and dialogue may be of heterogeneous social values. A new way of ordering socioeconomic relationships of …
Outlawry And The Experience Of The (Im)Possible: Deconstructing Biopolitics, Mary J. Bunch
Outlawry And The Experience Of The (Im)Possible: Deconstructing Biopolitics, Mary J. Bunch
Mary J Bunch Dr.
Outlawry is a legal penalty that banishes wrongdoers from the community; it refers to a refusal to obey the law and a withdrawal of legal rights. Although outlawry is obsolete in western criminal law, Giorgio Agamben links it to modern biopolitics. As outlawry is appropriated to preserve the law, and as the law takes life as its object, the subject of politics disappears. Yet biopolitics also occurs alongside a threat to sovereignty posed by outlawry, and a shift away from the subject as a site of emancipatory politics, toward a politics of difference. Taking a post-structural approach, this project examines …
Direct (Anti-)Democracy, Maxwell L. Stearns
Direct (Anti-)Democracy, Maxwell L. Stearns
Maxwell L. Stearns
Legal scholars, economists, and political scientists are divided on whether voter initiatives and legislative referendums tend to produce outcomes that are more (or less) majoritarian, efficient, or solicitous of minority concerns than traditional legislation. Scholars also embrace opposing views on which law-making mechanism better promotes citizen engagement, registers preference intensities, encourages compromise, and prevents outcomes masking cycling voter preferences. Despite these disagreements, commentators generally assume that the voting mechanism itself renders plebiscites more democratic than legislative lawmaking. This assumption is mistaken. Although it might seem unimaginable that a lawmaking process that directly engages voters possesses fundamentally antidemocratic features, this Article …
Electoral And Political Reforms, Vijaya Krushna Varma Mr
Electoral And Political Reforms, Vijaya Krushna Varma Mr
VIJAYA KRUSHNA VARMA Mr
Varma proposes electoral and political reforms to reserve politics only to perfectionists who intend to dedicate their whole time and energy to serve the people of the country round the clock. It is imperative to consider these new political and electoral reforms for better, healthy and improved democracy to remove corruption, inequalities, unemployment and mis-governance.
Designer Satellite Collisions From Covert Cyber War, Jan Kallberg
Designer Satellite Collisions From Covert Cyber War, Jan Kallberg
Jan Kallberg
Outer space has enjoyed two decades of fairly peaceful development since the Cold War, but once again it is becoming more competitive and contested, with increased militarization. Therefore, it is important the United States maintain its space superiority to ensure it has the capabilities required by modern warfare for successful operations. Today is different from earlier periods of space development,1 because there is not a blatantly overt arms race in space,2 but instead a covert challenge to US interests in maintaining superiority, resilience, and capability. A finite number of states consider themselves geopolitical actors; however, as long as the United …
A People's History Of Baseball, Mitchell J. Nathanson
A People's History Of Baseball, Mitchell J. Nathanson
Mitchell J Nathanson
Baseball is much more than the national pastime. It has become an emblem of America itself. From its initial popularity in the mid-nineteenth century, the game has reflected national values and beliefs and promoted what it means to be an American. Stories abound that illustrate baseball's significance in eradicating racial barriers, bringing neighborhoods together, building civic pride, and creating on the field of play an instructive civics lesson for immigrants on the national character. In A People's History of Baseball, Mitchell Nathanson probes the less well-known but no less meaningful other side of baseball: episodes not involving equality, patriotism, heroism, …
Arendtian Action And The Camp: Understanding The Connection Between Totalitarianism And Politics, Corey Dethier
Arendtian Action And The Camp: Understanding The Connection Between Totalitarianism And Politics, Corey Dethier
Corey Dethier
This paper argues for a reconceptualization of Arendt's concept of action based on her account of and experience with totalitarianism. Using Origins of Totalitarianism as a guide to what Arendt sees as the breakdown of a functioning society, it reconstructs her conception of politics found inThe Human Condition and On Revolution to show that what Arendt aims for is a form of government that can prevent the spread of totalitarianism and its characteristics. From this perspective, it argues that Arendt's concepts of politics and action are designed to create a public aware of its plurality and primarily concerned with protecting …

Rousseau, A Constituição De Cádis E A Renacença Portuguesa, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Todos os anos há muita coisa a comemorar. Comemoramos o que nos diz respeito, o que acarinhamos. Tal como os países consideram feriados os dias que mais dizem às forças políticas que em cada momento mandam. Comemorar Rousseau, a Constituição de Cádis e a Renascença Portuguesa parecem-nos a nós 3 celebrações importantes, no plano universal e europeu, ibero-americano e português. Não é serviço fúnebre, mas olhar de Janus, em que, contemplando o passado, se encara com nova face o futuro. Refletindo. Este ano são os centenários que vou pessoalmente comemorar, e ajudar a comemorar em conjunto. A menos que tenha …

Wikileaks Affects: Ideology, Conflict And The Revolutionary Virtual, Athina Karatzogianni
Athina Karatzogianni
The chapter focuses on the public feelings over WikiLeaks, and demonstrates how affect and emotion, in conjunction with digital culture and the social media, enabled shifts in the political. I am using the WikiLeaks controversy, and the storm of public feelings it generated, in order to demonstrate how affective flows can snowball into a revolutionary shift in reality. The order of theoretical sampling and analysis begins with a philosophical discussion of the role of affective structures in mediating the actual and the digital virtual. It then moves on to the interface between ideology and organization in WikiLeaks, as an example …
