This paper discusses the history of the Dominican Friar Fernando de Brito and his involvement in the episode that led to death Carlos Marighella (1911 - 1969) - leader of the National Liberating Action (NLA) - one of the fighters organizations during the military civilian dictatorship Brazilian. For this, some aspects Fernando's life are highlighted, especially the issue of choice of religious life, political engagement and imprisonment. In addition to the theoretical framework, we use sources such as oral interviews with the friar himself, his daily produced in prisons and periodicals. Thus, the research aims to present and analyze the case - the trap - through which fell Marighella and the friar as well, in the sense of being blamed by the murder of the partisan. We seek to discuss such issues in order to understand the construction of an image stigmatized about the religious and also the content of his notes. / Esta dissertação discorre sobre a trajetória do frei dominicano Fernando de Brito e o seu envolvimento no episódio que levou a morte Carlos Marighella (1911 – 1969) – líder da Ação Libertadora Nacional (ALN) – uma das organizações mais combatentes no período da ditadura civil militar brasileira. Por isso, alguns aspectos da vida de Fernando são destacados, sobretudo a questão da opção pela vida religiosa, o engajamento político e a prisão. Além de fontes teóricas, utilizamos entrevistas orais com o próprio frei, o seu diário produzido nos cárceres e periódicos. Assim, a pesquisa tem por objetivo apresentar e analisar, o caso – a cilada – por meio da qual caiu Marighella e também o frade, no sentido de ser atribuída a ele culpabilidade pelo assassinato do guerrilheiro. Buscamos problematizar tais questões a fim de compreender a construção de uma imagem estigmatizada acerca do religioso e também o teor das suas anotações.

Participation in Nigerian elections is an interesting issue. This study is aimed at comparing the 1999 elections with 2003 elections. There is more participation in elections, organized by the Civilian government than that of the Military government. Nigerians feel freer and secure to participate in elections organized and conducted by the civilian government be-cause it is more democratic than the military government. The part identification model, and a sociological approach were tested in relation to Nige-rian elections. The Sociological approach influences voter’s decision during elections. Democratic government in Nigeria has much to do for it to be consolidated. The issues of Political Rights and Civil Liberty have to be properly addressed

The development of new innovations in explosives was an important part of the industrialization process from the mid-nineteenth century. The establishment of the world´s first nitroglycerin factory – Nitroglycerin Aktiebolaget (NA) in Stockholm in 1864 started a process replacing gunpowder with nitroglycerin and from 1868 by the safer invention dynamite. This affected both the long-term relationships between the mining industry and the powder mills and the demand from new industries for efficient and safe explosives. Even though the explosives industry was a small industry, it was of great importance for many other industries and for economic transformation. With dynamite and its successors, society also faced new risks. As a result, an extensive legislation was developed at an early stage which was supplemented with further supervision from a government authority in various organizations from 1895. The aim of the thesis is to investigate and analyze the major decision-making processes of the Swedish civilian explosives industry during the period 1858-1950. The purpose of the work is to contribute to gaining knowledge about how the society´s regulation of different industries has evolved and how state and private actors have acted in the development of new regulations. The work is structured around three main questions. The first question is about how the Swedish explosives industry developed during the period. How did the technological development of the industry and the explosives look like and had this any impact on the questions the actors within the industry drove? The second question is about how the dynamite industry was regulated. What did the regulations contain and how was the control organized? How did rights and obligations look like and how was the industry affected by this? The third question concerns the regulatory process itself. How and why did the regulations change and which actors were involved in the various changes? How did the Government and the actors act and can we see shifts over time between their different roles and interests? The study concludes that NA was the actor that, by using different methods, managed to gain the greatest influence over the regulatory process. Although the traditional established powder mill industry competed with NA at an early stage, it was nevertheless the initial, high-tech company that was involved in creating new national regulations in negotiation with the regulating authorities. This was a process of regulatory capture where NA, by combining both direct and indirect capture methods, managed to gain influence over regulations in the long run. A parallel but slightly different characteristic of this regulatory capture process is risk minimization for the public. Despite the occurrence of regulatory capture the regulations developed in a kind of a co-regulation system where the regulators became dependent on NA to provide the technical and practical expertise needed to build the necessary regulatory framework.

This thesis analyses the causes and theoretical perspectives on the historical trends of extraction and use of uranium. It also examines the history's implication for the current situation and future development of the field of uranium mining. The main goal of this work is to analyse the localisation of extraction and use of uranium in particular countries over different periods of time and also the political and economic aspects of its use. The first chapter contains the summary of localisation theories, theories of international trade, explains the connection between globalisation and international trade and describes the main characteristics of uranium and its methods of extraction. The second chapter explores historical changes of localisation of extraction, their comparison to usage in particular countries and confrontation with theoretical assumptions. The third chapter addresses the military and civilian use of uranium, its development and its future. The dependence of ownership of nuclear technology on the level of economic development is also examined here, as well as motives for its acquisition.

Based on the experiences of former soldiers, the process of preparing soldiers for employment in the civilian labour market and the approach of the military to this matter is explained. To make the research more objective, the author also answers the research questions concerning the strategies for supporting soldiers transitioning to the civilian environment and in...

This essay deals with analysis of the phenomenon of EU's police missions as an integral part of civilian crisis management within European Security and Defense Policy. It outlined the development and evaluation of EU's operational civilian capabilities. The focus of the work is an analysis and comparison of selected police missions in terms of conditions that the EU can not influence to such an extent and that still deeply affect the course of implementation of the mission. The study also deals with the evaluation of concrete operations in terms of successful fulfillment of their mandates. Our research question relates to the external conditions of a total of five realized EU's police missions. Our presumption is the claim that socio-economic context of a country deeply influence the course of EU's action and therefore has an impact on the fulfillment of the mandate of police missions. Considerations to what extent is EU itself responsible for the success or failure of each mission and how external factors affect the mission objectives led us to the choice of topic.
