This thesis concerns the relatively recent phenomenon of part-time managers and professionals. The focus is the part-time working arrangement (PTWA) and specifically the process by which it emerges and develops, building on existing literature on working-hours preferences, the role of the organization in part-time working and alternative work organization for temporal flexibility. Two large private-sector organizations, each operating in the UK and the Netherlands, provided four different research sites for narrative interviews with 39 part-time managers and professionals. The key contribution to knowledge is to identify the process of developing a PTWA as a combination of the formal negotiation of a flexibility task i-deal and an informal process of job crafting. In a situation of high constraint – where the individual’s goals conflict with organizational norms and expectations – the tensions between ‘being part-time’ and ‘being professional’ necessitated identity work at each stage, as individuals constructed a ‘provisional self’ which in turn enclosed each stage of the development of the PTWA. The four stages were: first, evaluation of alternative options, including postponing the transition to part- time until more appropriate circumstances arise; secondly, preparation of the individual business case for part-time; thirdly, formal negotiation of a flexibility task i-deal; and finally an informal, unauthorized adaptation of the arrangement over time. Collaborative crafting of working practices (predictability, substitutability, knowledge management) provided greater opportunities for adaptation than individual activities. This study’s contribution to theory in the nascent field of part-time managers and professionals is a process model which suggests how three sets of discourses act as generative mechanisms at each stage of the emergence and development of the PTWA, creating or destroying ‘action spaces’. These discourses are: the perceived ‘nature’ of managerial and professional work, the perception of part-time as a personal lifestyle choice, and the understanding of part-timers as either ‘other’ or the ‘new normal’.

During an arbitration, a party may need to request the arbitral tribunal to order interim measures to secure a meaningful award. However, the parties may face issues relating to enforceability and hence the effectiveness of the arbitral tribunal’s interim decision. If the arbitral tribunal is seated in Sweden, under the current Swedish Arbitration Act (SAA), a decision on interim measures is not enforceable in the form of an order. This raises the issue whether such a decision could be made enforceable if issued in the form of an arbitral award. The SAA is currently undergoing a revision with the aim to increase the attractiveness of Swedish arbitration, for both Swedish and foreign parties. The Government Commission (Commission) proposed in its report in 2015 that an express legislative provision be introduced specifically empowering an arbitral tribunal to order an interim measure in the form of an order or an award. This would be consistent with relevant Arbitral Rules. A decision in form of an award would potentially be enforceable. The Government decided not to follow the Commission’s proposal in the proposed legislation referred to the Law Council on Legislation. The Commission implied that interim measures may be enforceable in Sweden, if made in the form of an award. Through the use of a legal dogmatic and legal analytical method this thesis concludes that there is an uncertainty as to whether interim measures, in the form of an award, can be enforced in Sweden. Parties can probably give the arbitral tribunal such authority to grant interim measures that are final and binding in character, if this is provided for in their arbitration agreement. For example, parties could vest the arbitral tribunal with such power by referring to arbitration rules that provide for such interim relief, as is provided in SCC and ICC Arbitral Rules. It is also concluded that the enforceability depends on whether the award was rendered by a tribunal sitting in/outside of Sweden. The Swedish Supreme Court has stated that “award” within the meaning of the New York Convention (NYC) should, as a rule, be construed according to the law of the seat of the arbitration. This may allow for enforcement of interim measures in the form of an award. However, due to the general, but not conclusive, view that the NYC does not apply to interim measures, no certain conclusions can be made. Furthermore, it is argued, because of this ambiguity, that Sweden fails to offer parties and arbitrators a modern and effective arbitral regime, which may hamper Sweden’s ambitions in attracting foreign parties to arbitrate in Sweden. Therefore, Sweden should introduce a possibility for the arbitral tribunal to grant enforceable interim measures.

A presente dissertação tem por objetivo a análise jurídica e a demonstração do cabimento da tutela de urgência na homologação da sentença estrangeira. Para alcançá-lo estuda a homologação de sentença estrangeira, a tutela de urgência em suas modalidades de tutela cautelar e tutela antecipada, nesta incluída a tutela específica das obrigações de fazer ou não fazer e de entrega de coisa e analisa precedentes jurisprudenciais do Supremo Tribunal Federal sobre o tema. O estudo sinaliza a importância do assunto e critica as decisões do Supremo Tribunal Federal que negaram a tutela de urgência em procedimentos de homologação de sentenças estrangeiras. O fundamento constitucional da tutela de urgência no princípio do acesso à justiça, compreendido em seu sentido de efetividade da jurisdição, desponta como um dos dois argumentos nucleares da posição defendida na dissertação. Considera o trabalho que este princípio constitui um dos princípios gerais de direito comuns a todos os Estados civilizados. Por outro lado, a análise da natureza jurídica constitutivo-integrativa da sentença na ação de homologação, bem como o efeito que possui a sentença estrangeira de fazer nascer a pretensão à homologação proporcionam uma interpretação do artigo 483 do Código de Processo Civil compatível com a tutela de urgência, emergindo como o segundo argumento principal da dissertação. Na conclusão elabora-se a síntese da argumentação demonstrativa da posição assumida na dissertação. / This dissertation aims to present the juridical analysis and the admissibility of interim protection and provisional measures in the recognition of foreign judgments. In order achieve its ends, it studies the recognition of foreign judgments, interim protection and provisional measures, including its application to the obligations to do or not to do a specific thing and to deliver a certain thing, and it analyses the decisions of the Federal Supreme Court on the subject. The work highlights the importance of the issue and criticizes the precedents of the Supreme Court that did not grant interim protection and provisional measures in the recognition of foreign judgments. Interim protection and provisional measures are based in the constitutional principle of access to justice, in its meaning of the effective rendering of judgment. This is the first core argument of the thesis that this dissertation defends, as this principle is one of those general principles of law recognized in all civilized States. On the other hand, the analysis of the constitutive and integrative nature of the final judgment in the recognition of foreign judgment, together with the effect of the foreign judgment of the right of action to its recognition render an interpretation of article 483 of the Code of Civil Procedure compatible with interim protection and provisional measures. This is the second core argument of this dissertation. The conclusion of the work provides a summary of the arguments that sustain the position that it defends.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar a atuação de diferentes agentes da Igreja Católica para reverter a situação de desprestígio que o Governo Provisório tentou lhe impor, ao instaurar o Estado laico no Brasil. São analisado o jornal O Apóstolo, órgão da imprensa católica, documentos oficiais, como a Pastoral coletiva do episcopado de 1890 e as reclamações dirigidas pelos bispos às autoridades republicanas, e a atuação destacada de deputados e senadores defendendo no congresso constituinte de 1890-1891 os interesses da Igreja Católica. Desta forma, procuraremos demonstrar que a atuação integrada dos diversos agentes interferiu nos planos de laicização do governo, tornando as leis daquele período menos prejudiciais à Igreja do que inicialmente se projetara, o que levou à uma acomodação de interesses entre esta e governo. / The main goal of this research is to analyze the performance of different agents of the Catholic Church, to revert the situation of discredit that the Provisional Government tried to impose, in order to establish the Laic State in Brazil. These performances are analyzed through the newspaper O Apóstolo, linked to the Catholic Press, official documents, such as Pastoral Coletiva do Episcopado from 1890 and the complains made by the bishops to the republicans authorities, in addition to the highlighted performance of congressmen and senators that defended the interests of Catholic Church in the constituent congress from 1890 to 1891. Thus, we intend to demonstrate that the integrated performance of the several Catholic agents interfered on the plans of laicization from the government, making the laws of that period more comfortable for the Church than initially projected.

A tese tem por objeto central a proposta de novas modalidades de antecipação da tutela sem o requisito da urgência. No primeiro capítulo é examinado o conceito de tutela jurisdicional diferenciada, em comparação com a antecipação da tutela. O segundo capítulo cuida da análise das principais técnicas de sumarização do procedimento, para concluir que as principais técnicas nessa seara são informadas por precedentes ou súmulas. O terceiro capítulo aborda o panorama atual da antecipação da tutela e sua comparação com a tutela cautelar, ambas concebidas como medidas pautadas pela sumarização da cognição. O quarto capítulo contém a abordagem das principais técnicas de sumarização da cognição que prescindem do elemento urgência, para concluir que tais técnicas são úteis para tutelar determinado direito material, porém não se adequam como novas modalidades de antecipação da tutela sem o requisito da urgência. No quinto capítulo são definidos os principais fundamentos da antecipação da tutela sem o requisito da urgência. O capítulo sexto desenvolve premissas voltadas a acomodar a possibilidade de antecipação da tutela fundada em precedente ou súmula, partindo da importância de valorizar e uniformizar a aplicação de precedentes. A manutenção de uniformidade de entendimentos sobre a mesma matéria proporciona segurança jurídica, previsibilidade, isonomia e estabilidade ao sistema. Mediante o confronto de técnicas de sumarização do procedimento já existentes e adoção de critério de racionalização de precedentes, é proposta a antecipação da tutela fundada em precedente ou súmula. O capítulo sétimo discorre sobre a cognição sumária exercida quando do exame da antecipação da tutela fundada em precedente ou súmula, devendo os elementos identificadores ser confrontados, ao comparar a súmula ou precedente com o caso concreto, a fim de conceder ou não a antecipação. No capítulo oitavo é comentada a Proposta de Novo CPC, em comparação com as propostas desta tese. / This thesis main objective is to propose new modalities of provisional remedy without urgency requirement. The first chapter examines the concept of differentiated court order, compared to provisional remedy. The second chapter deals with the analysis of the main procedure summarizing techniques, in order to conclude that the main techniques related to this subject are informed by precedents or summulas. The third chapter approaches the overview of the provisional remedy and its comparison with the injunction, both conceived as cognition summarization means. The fourth chapter presents an approach of the main cognition summarization techniques that ignore the urgency element, to conclude that such techniques are useful to protect certain substantive right, but not suitable as new modalities of provisional remedy without urgency requirement. In the fifth chapter are defined the main foundations of provisional remedy without urgency requirement. The sixth chapter develops assumptions to accommodate the possibility of provisional remedy based on precedent or summula, from the value and importance of uniform application of precedent. Maintaining uniformity of understanding on the same subject provides legal certainty, predictability, equality and stability to the system. Upon confrontation of existing summarization techniques and adoption of criteria for precedents rationalization, it is proposed the provisional remedy based on precedent or summula. The seventh chapter discusses the summary cognition exercised when considering the provisional remedy based on precedent or summula, where the designation elements must be confronted by comparing the summula or precedent to the case, in order to grant or not the anticipation. In the eighth chapter is commented the Proposed New CPC, compared with the proposals of this thesis.
