This thesis analyzes the British Mandate in Palestine 1920-1948. It examines the significance the British placed on their continued involvement in the Middle East following World War I, and the inherent contradictions that were a result of three separate agreements, each initiated to distribute lands previously ruled by the Ottomans. The British inability to reconcile the promises they made to both the Zionists and the Arabs, combined with their Mandate administration policies, shaped the Jewish/Arab conflict that has continued until the present day. The influence of the Zionist lobby on British leadership resulted in policies that favorably biased the Jewish population in Palestine. Additionally, Arabs disadvantaged themselves by refusing to participate politically with Jews, while Jewish leaders embraced opportunities to establish political institutions. Arab standing was further disadvantaged by British reaction to political violence dis played in response to British policies. The Jewish leadership capitalized on every opportunity to consolidate power, while the Arabs missed opportunities by remaining politically fragmented and unwilling to compromise. / US Navy (USN) author

The settler colonial framework provides Palestine Studies with a useful tool; opening new lines of inquiry and leading to new fields of study. This thesis examines the impact of the Zionist settlement policy on rural Palestine during the Mandatory period. Through a demographic analysis the thesis argues that the displacement of these peasants was the result of an intentional transfer policy by the Jewish community. Transfer, as Nur Masalha has already shown, constituted an important part of the overall Zionist ideology and attitude towards the local population. This thesis argues that the displacements and removal of the indigenous population started before the Nakba, including the British Mandate period inside the settler colonial need of becoming a demographic majority in the land under dispute. Zionist historiography argues that Zionists did not interfere in the daily life of the Palestinians and stresses the profitable aspects of Jewish immigration. This thesis, using settler colonial theories, challenges this historiography and proposes new tools to deal with other settler colonial cases around the world. This thesis is based on four demographic sources used during the British Mandate to determine the consequences of land purchases and immigration in the Haifa, Nazareth, Jenin and Nablus sub-districts during that period: the 1922 Census, the 1931 Census, the Village Statistics 1938 and the Village Statistics 1945. The analysis of the growth rates of all the communities and villages will illustrate the consequences of the Zionist settler colonial project. This thesis discusses the replacement of population and the importance of population, access to land and immigration trends for the Zionist settler colonial enterprise on their way to becoming the demographic majority on the land of the Historical Palestine.

Todavia, a Lei 12.016/2009, que regulou, em texto consolidado, o mandado de segurança individual e o coletivo, parece, quanto a este, ter restringido o alcance constitucional do remédio heróico, inclusive se afastando do denominado microssistema de tutela coletiva. A discrepância entre a Lei 12.016/09 e o denominado microssistema de tutela coletiva conduz, entretanto, à necessidade de hermenêutica constitucional que assegure a máxima efetividade ao mandado de segurança coletivo. O estudo justifica-se pela importância do mandado de segurança coletivo no cenário de tutela coletiva dos direitos, notadamente para proteger direitos fundamentais violados ou ameaçados de lesão por ato de autoridade pública, e propõe uma abordagem dos seguintes pontos: a) evolução das ações coletivas no Brasil; b) construção doutrinária dos interesses coletivos no Brasil; c) direitos difusos, coletivos e individuais homogêneos; d) partes e legitimidade nas ações coletivas; e) princípios informativos das ações coletivas; f) histórico do mandado de segurança; g) mandado de segurança na Constituição de 1988; h) Antecedentes do mandado de segurança coletivo; i) legitimidade do mandado de segurança coletivo; j) coisa julgada nas ações coletivas; l) mandado de segurança coletivo na Lei 12.016/2009. Ao final, expõe-se uma síntese conclusiva e crítica sobre as alterações promovidas no mandado de segurança pela Lei 12.016/2009, visando à uma interpretação da lei específica com o microssistema de tutela coletiva. / Salvador
