The Role Of Sais In Promoting Sustainable Development: Environmental AuditingErkan, Berna 01 January 2012 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis is based on cross-sectional data analyses by using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) Method in order to determine the main drivers of the environmental performance and specifically the effects of environmental audits conducted by
Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) on sustainable development. Two general models are employed throughout the study that have the Environmental Performance Index
(EPI) as dependent variable and various sub-models for different income groups are produced to observe the individual and interactive effects of explanatory variables.
First model includes 150 countries regressing their EPI scores on income, population, literacy rate and indicators of the strength of institutional structure such as corruption
perceptions index or government effectiveness score. Then, second model which comprises 52 countries introduces the number of environmental audit reports as a new explanatory variable. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is also applied to highly correlated variables and the models are reestimated. The results indicate that well functioning environmental management systems and resulting positive effects on
the environmental performance can only be attained through strengthened governmental institutions with high transparency and accountability as well as rigid
implementation of the related regulations. More specifically, environmental audit reports generated by SAIs are of vital importance for especially improving the environmental management systems of the developing countries.

Does just war theory need to get with the times?Shiller, Aviva 07 1900 (has links)
La théorie de la guerre juste a fournit les principes qui forment la base de nos intuitions
concernant l’éthique de la guerre pendant plus de milles ans. Cependant, la nature de la
guerre a changé drastiquement dans les derniers 50 ans. Avec les avancés
technologiques, tous les aspects de la guerre, du champ de bataille aux armes utilisées,
sont aujourd’hui très différents. Ce qui est proposé dans ce texte est que les principes de
jus in bello sont malgré tout encore adéquats pour les guerres contemporaines.
Spécifiquement, en utilisant une analyse historique, ce texte argumentera contre la
condition de l’urgence suprême de Michael Walzer pour proposer une approche qui
laisse les principes de bases du jus in bello intactes. Ce texte suggère que les théoriciens
de la guerre juste se penchent sur la question des armes prohibées pour avoir un impacte
positif dans le domaine de l’éthique de la guerre. / Just war theory has been provided the basis for thinking about the morality of war for
the past thousand years of Western history. However, the nature of warfare has
dramatically altered in the last 50 years alone. With the advent of new technologies all
aspects of warfare from the nature of the battlefield to the types of weapons used have
changed. What this paper will argue, through a historical analysis of these technological
changes, is that the principles guiding actions taken in war, the principles of jus in bello,
are well equipped to deal with these changes. More specifically, this paper will argue
against Michael Walzer’s famous supreme emergency condition and suggests instead
that just war theorists should instead be concerned with weapons prohibitions, not in
undermining the established principles of jus in bello, in order to have a favourable
impact on contemporary warfare.

Charter activism and Canadian federalism : rebalancing liberal constitutionalism in Canada, 1982 to 1997Kelly, James B. January 1998 (has links)
The introduction of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms has affected many elements of the constitutional system in Canada. This dissertation explores the Charter's relationship with liberal constitutionalism and Canadian federalism, and considers whether judicial review on Charter grounds has seen a progression, or a regression, from parliamentary to constitutional to judicial supremacy. Further, this dissertation considers whether Charter review has reduced provincial autonomy by imposing national values in provincial areas of jurisdiction when Charter review nullifies provincial statutes. Through a complex process referred to as the rebalancing of liberal constitutionalism, this study argues that a changed Charter jurisprudence by the Supreme Court of Canada and a changed policy process within the administrative state at the federal level have reduced the negative implications of Charter review for liberal constitutionalism and Canadian federalism. To advance this argument, the concept of Charter activism is introduced to demonstrate that the rebalancing of liberal constitutionalism is the product of the shifting equilibrium within two distinct elements that comprise Charter activism---judicial activism and bureaucratic activism. This study pursues three themes to demonstrate that the decline of judicial activism and the emergence of bureaucratic activism now converge at a point within Charter politics that facilitate the rebalancing of liberal constitutionalism and ensure that Charter review advances constitutional and not judicial supremacy. The first theme investigates the Supreme Court of Canada as a policy actor during Charter review, and analyzes Charter decisions between 1982 and 1997. The second theme considers the impact of Charter review on Canadian federalism and whether the Charter has centralized Canadian federalism and reduced provincial autonomy. The final theme investigates bureaucratic activism and the changes within the policy process at the fe

Religious pluralism and the theory of deep diversitySinacore-Guinn, David. January 1997 (has links)
American Supreme Court jurisprudence in the area of religious freedom is, for the most part, predicated upon a form of liberal democratic theory commonly known as "procedural liberalism." A close analysis of this jurisprudence reveals that because of this theoretical basis, the Supreme Court has been unable to craft a consistent jurisprudence that adequately addresses the reality of religion as a pluralistic social institution. Based upon the detailed critiques of procedural liberalism by such thinkers as Charles Taylor and Iris Marion Young, and drawing upon a concept known as "deep diversity" suggested by Taylor, a new general political theory, identified as the theory of deep diversity, is developed to answer these critiques. This theory is then used to reconceptualize Supreme Court jurisprudence and to demonstrate how the theory can be applied in a practical way to resolve the many problems inherent in existing religious freedom jurisprudence so as to support and advance religious pluralism.

[en] THE EFFICACY OF SOCIAL RIGHTS AND THE SUPREME COURT: A STUDY ON THE NATURE OF SOCIAL RIGHTS AND THEIR LEGAL ENFORCEABILITY / [pt] A EFICÁCIA DOS DIREITOS SOCIAIS E O SUPREMO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL: UM ESTUDO SOBRE A NATUREZA DOS DIREITOS SOCIAIS E SUA EXIGIBILIDADE JUDICIALZAMIRA MENDES VIANNA 18 November 2011 (has links)
[pt] O presente trabalho apresenta um estudo sobre a eficácia dos direitos sociais
no Brasil, em especial os direitos a prestações e a justiciabilidade desses direitos
perante o poder judiciário. O abismo existente entre o ideal de transformação da
Constituição Federal de 1988 e a inércia demonstrada pelos costumes políticos e
sociais na história recente de nosso país ressaltam o quanto o Estado e a sociedade
estão falhando ao garantir as condições mínimas de existência humana digna, sem
as quais se torna inviável o gozo e a fruição dos direitos fundamentais, frustrandose
a efetividade da maioria das normas constitucionais. Este estudo se inicia pela
análise da trajetória dos direitos fundamentais até o seu reconhecimento e
positivação na Constituição Federal de 1988, passando-se em seguida, à análise
dos direitos sociais como direitos fundamentais, sua aplicabilidade e os limites à
eficácia dos direitos a prestações, reunindo elementos que possam justificar a
crescente atuação do poder judiciário, em especial do Supremo Tribunal Federal
no cenário econômico e social, na medida em que se tem atribuído a ele um novo
papel no quadro da Separação de Poderes, qual seja, atender à tarefa de realização
dos direitos sociais que compete, primariamente ao legislativo e ao executivo. As
fontes de pesquisa são doutrinárias, além do estudo de algumas normas
constitucionais pertinentes ao tema do trabalho e de jurisprudência selecionada
principalmente nos julgados do Supremo Tribunal Federal. / [en] This work presents a study on the efficacy of social rights in Brazil, in
special the rights to benefits and justiciability in front of judiciary. The lack
between the ideal transformation of Federal Constitution of 1988 and the tendency
of do not change shown by political and social values in the recent history of our
country highlights how much the State and the society are weakened to support
the minimum conditions to the existence of human dignity, without which
becomes impossible enjoy the fundamental rights, frustrating to the effectiveness
of most constitutional rules. This study bigins by the analysis of the fundamental
rights trajectory until its recognition on the Federal Constitution of 1988, going
through the analysis of social rights as fundamental rights, their applicability and
limits the efficacy of rights to benefits, grouping elements that can justify the
increasing role of Judiciary, especially the Supreme Court in the economic and
social set, according to his new role into the Separation of Powers, that is, comply
with realization of social rights that belongs first to the legislature and the
executive. The research sources are doctrinal, besides the study of some
constitutional rules relevant to the theme and the jurisprudence selected mainly on
the judged from the Supreme Court.

Previous issue date: 2018-04-23 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) / O texto objetivou analisar – de uma perspectiva do institucionalismo original – o processo de emergência, reconhecimento e legitimação jurídica/legal das formas de riqueza capitalistas intangíveis e incorpóreas em um país de capitalismo periférico, o Brasil. Claramente inspirado nas reflexões do economista institucionalista norte americano John R. Commons sobre a riqueza incorpórea e intangível, em especial o goodwill, e no papel do sistema legal na sua institucionalização, o texto toma a presença dessas formas de riqueza como sendo a expressão de maturidade do capitalismo monopolista, dada a imensa possibilidade que oferecem para a valorização do capital. O texto mostrou que no Brasil, à diferença dos EUA e outros países de capitalismo central, a presença de tais formas de riqueza foi inicialmente tardia (posterior aos anos 1920), e de certo modo limitada (circunscrita majoritariamente às atividades imobiliárias). Com a própria evolução e consolidação do capitalismo brasileiro, quando as novas formas de riqueza capitalistas foram ganhando peso e destaque, o sistema jurídico progressivamente foi se estruturando e se especializando para analisar e decidir sobre os conflitos originados da própria evolução do capitalismo brasileiro, em especial aqueles que envolveram o goodwill. Deste modo, buscamos compreender como tem sido o processo de regulamentação do goodwill pelo Estado na evolução do capitalismo e das instituições no Brasil, de modo a identificar e analisar casos jurídicos que possivelmente fundamentaram a lei, assim como as possíveis mudanças de entendimentos dos Tribunais de Cúpula (Supremo Tribunal Federal e Superior Tribunal de Justiça) daquilo que é considerado como prática “razoável” no que diz respeito ao goodwill, buscando delimitar os limites de ação dos indivíduos envolvidos e identificar as variáveis responsáveis por tais mudanças, sob a ótica da teoria de Commons. Vemos que parece haver consolidação incremental de jurisprudências acerca do goodwill ao longo das décadas (legitimando-o cada vez mais), principalmente em função do pequeno número de casos que subiram à terceira instância para decisão/delimitação das regras operacionais das transações que possam envolver esse ativo. / The text aimed to analyze - from a perspective of the original institutionalism - the process of emergence, recognition and law / legal legitimation of intangible and incorporeal capitalist wealth forms in a country of peripheral capitalism, Brazil. Clearly inspired by the reflections of North American institutional economist John R. Commons on incoporeal and intangible wealth, especially goodwill, and on the role of the legal system in its institutionalization, the text takes the presence of these forms of wealth as the expression of maturity of monopoly capitalism, given the immense possibility they offer for the valorization of capital. The text showed that in Brazil, unlike the USA and other countries of central capitalism, the presence of such forms of wealth was initially late (after the 1920s), and to a certain extent limited (mostly limited to real estate activities). With the evolution and consolidation of Brazilian capitalism itself, when the new forms of capitalist wealth gained weight and prominence, the legal system gradually became structured and specialized to analyze and decide on the conflicts originated from the very evolution of Brazilian capitalism, in particular those that involved goodwill. In this way, we seek to understand how the process of regulation of goodwill by the State in the evolution of capitalism and institutions in Brazil has been, in order to identify and analyze legal cases that possibly based the law, as well as the possible changes of understandings of the Courts of (Supreme Court and Superior Court of Justice) of what is considered a "reasonable" practice with respect to goodwill, seeking to delimit the limits of action of the individuals involved and to identify the variables responsible for such changes, from the point of view of the theory of Commons. We see that there seems to be an incremental consolidation of jurisprudence over goodwill over the decades (legitimating it more and more), mainly due to the small number of cases that have risen to the third instance for decision / delimitation of the operational rules of the transactions that may involve this active. / 148129/2016-1.
