Instituições, Trabalho E Pessoas, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Paulo Ferreira da Cunha

Os especialistas em doenças terminais sabem que ninguém tem saudades, quando abandona a vida, do trabalho que não fez. Tem saudades sim do tempo que não passou com familiares e amigos. A sociedade contemporânea, e algumas instituições "totais" estão a potenciar até ao expoente demencial a exploração e a despersonalização dos trabalhadores, designadamente proletarizando técnicos superiores e técnicos pensantes que, sem ócio criativo, deixarão de criar. É uma crise civilizacional, nada menos.

Jfk, Berlin, And The Berlin Crises, 1961-63, Robert G. Waite

Robert G. Waite

Already before his inauguration, JFK began to focus on Berlin and the tension with the Soviet block over the status of this divided city. While President, JFK took forceful steps to reassure our allies and the American public that this nation stood by the post-war settlement. The handling of the crises that flared up reveal much about JFK's art of diplomacy and style of leadership.

Importers As Regulators: Product Safety In A Globalized World, Andrew T. Guzman

Andrew T Guzman

In the wake of scandals involving lead toys, toxic toothpaste, poisonous pet food, and other dangerous products in recent years, policymakers have proposed a variety of strategies that purport to address safety concerns. Though many of these proposals would have salutary effects on consumer product safety, they do not provide, either individually or collectively, a full solution to the problem. This chapter offers a different proposal for addressing the challenges that global production poses for state-centered regulation of import safety. We argue that regulators should structure administrative penalties to make private importers regulate the foreign manufacturing processes from which they …

International Soft Law, Andrew T. Guzman, Timothy L. Meyer

Andrew T Guzman

Although the concept of soft law has existed for years, scholars have not reached consensus on why states use soft law or even whether “soft law” is a coherent analytic category.

In this paper, we advance four complementary explanations for why states use soft law that describe a much broader range state behavior than has been previously explained.

First, and least significantly, states may use soft law to solve straightforward coordination games in which the existence of a …
