The thesis deals with the possibilities of employment of persons who face special barriers to entering the labour market. In the theoretical part it introduces a model of the welfare state as a solution to current social issues in most European countries. It refers to the crisis the existing forms of the welfare state is passing through and emphasizes the need for its reform. The the author's initial idea considers cooperation between the state, private profi and non-profit organizations and households in the field of so called third sector. The thesis also presents the theoretical foundations of the labour market functioning, defínes unemployment and provides a list of economic and social consequences of unemployment. In the practical part the author characterizes vulnerable groups in the labour market, names existing forms of support to these groups and offers the concept of social firms as a promising partner for the state government, local authorities and communities and unemployed people in solving their adverse social situation.

When too many afford too little, one could claim that a housing market is malfunctioning. The United Kingdom and Sweden suffer from housing shortages in the major cities, creating low affordability, great strain on lower income groups and worse foundation for social sustainability. Considering matters such as different housing histories, political ideologies and policies, Sweden and the UK may seem quite unalike at first, resulting in expectations for two ‘distinct’ housing shortages. However, when a more thoroughly examination is made, it is possible the situation may appear different. Perhaps, it is even possible solving the British and Swedish housing shortages with the same solutions; two birds with one stone.    The purpose with this thesis is to: analyse and compare the British and Swedish housing histories, identify challenges, present a few options to solving today’s low affordability, discuss how these shortages are solved so that affordable housing is obtained in both countries.    To investigate this, the four questions:   1.    Do Sweden and the UK have similar housing histories, and have they contributed to today’s shortages?   2.    Are there similar housing challenges in Sweden and the UK?   3.    Are there the same solutions to the housing shortages of Sweden and the UK?   4.    Which are the most effective options for achieving an affordable housing future?   ; were asked and tried to be answered.    The intentions are that this thesis will be of use to housing debates in both countries, planners, professionals and decision makers, as well as interested and affected laymen, in search for knowledge concerning the reality they are faced with.    Through examining the British and Swedish housing histories from 1946 to 2018, policies during the eras of the ‘Welfare State’, the ‘Liberal Society’ and the ‘State of Crisis’, the affordability challenges of tomorrow where formulated. To find possible options to face these challenges, five experts in the UK were interviewed, leading up to the four options concerning affordability; the market liberal: lowering construction cost and building smaller homes, and the social: local authority development / council housing and policy changes to increase social values in land.    After analysing pros and cons with these options, their effect on increasing affordability and social sustainability were discussed, along with preventing further deregulation and privatisation of the housing markets as well as investing more in the countryside.    The final recommendations and conclusions conclude that policies in both countries need to be changed if these housing shortages are to be truly ended and long-term sustainability on the housing markets achieved. To obtain affordability and stable housing markets, attitudes and policies throughout the societies would have to change towards viewing homes more as a human right, rather than a commodity. Another conclusion is that local authorities/councils have proven themselves to be capable developers in the past, which they can become yet again but only if the current systems change. / När alltför många har råd med alltför lite, kan man hävda att en bostadsmarknad fungerar felaktigt. I Storbritannien och Sverige råder bostadsbrist i storstäderna, vilket belastar låginkomsttagare och skapar en sämre grund för social hållbarhet. Med hänsyn till ämnen så som olika förflutna, politiska ideologier och politik, kan Sverige och Storbritannien i första hand tyckas vara ganska olika, vilket resulterar i förväntningar efter två "distinkta" bostadskriser. Dock, efter en grundligare undersökning är genomförd, kanske situationen uppfattas annorlunda. Kanske är det till och med möjligt att lösa de brittiska och svenska bostadskriserna med samma lösningar, så som det heter på engelska; two birds with one stone.    Syftet med denna avhandling är att: analysera och jämföra historien rörande bostadssituationen i Sverige och Storbritannien, identifiera utmaningar, presentera några alternativ för att lösa dagens kriser samt att diskutera hur dessa kriser bör lösas så att en hållbar morgondag blir uppnådd i båda länderna.    För att undersöka detta, ställdes de fyra frågorna:   1.    Har Storbritannien och Sverige ett liknande förflutet vad gäller bostäder och har dessa bidragit till dagens kriser?   2.    Finns det liknande utmaningar berörande bostäder i Storbritannien och Sverige   3.    Finns det samma lösningar på bostadskriserna i Storbritannien och Sverige?   4.    Vilka är de mest effektiva alternativen för att uppnå en hållbar framtid?   ; vilka försöktes besvaras.    Avsikten är att denna avhandling kommer vara till nytta för bostadsdebatten i båda länderna, planerare, professionella och beslutsfattare samt intresserade och påverkade lekmän på jakt efter kunskap om den verklighet de står inför.    Genom att undersöka hur den brittiska och svenska bostadssituationen tidigare sett ut, från 1946 till 2018, politiken under ”välfärdsstatens”, ”det liberala samhällets" och "staten i kris" eror, har utmaningarna för att uppnå en billigare morgondag formulerats. För att hitta möjliga alternativ för att möta dessa utmaningar, intervjuades fem experter i Storbritannien, vilket ledde fram till de fyra alternativen: de marknadsliberala; sänka byggkostnader och bygga mindre bostäder, samt de sociala; lokala myndigheters bostadsbyggande / kommunalt bostadsbyggande och politiska förändringar för att öka markers sociala värden vid utveckling.    Efter att ha analyserat för- och nackdelar med dessa alternativ diskuterades deras effekt på ökad köpkraft och social hållbarhet, att förhindra ytterligare avregleringar och privatiseringar av bostadsmarknaderna samt att investera mer i landsbygden.    De slutliga rekommendationerna och slutsatserna fastställer att politiken i båda länderna behöver ändras om dessa bostadskriser verkligen ska lösas och långsiktig hållbarhet på bostadsmarknaden uppnås. För att få överkomliga priser och stabila bostadsmarknader skulle attityder och politik i hela samhället behöva förändras mot att betrakta hem mer som en mänsklig rätt snarare än en vara. En annan slutsats är att lokala myndigheter / kommuner tidigare har visat sig vara kapabla bostadsutvecklare, vilket de kan bli igen men bara om de rådande systemen förändras.

Constatou-se que o papel desempenhado pelo juiz e pelas partes no direito processual civil, possui nítida correlação com a forma em que o Estado é compreendido no contexto da sociedade de determinada época. Após estudo da doutrina empregada pelos burgueses, para motivar a ruptura do Estado absolutista e do seu caráter essencialmente repressivo com a conformação do Estado Liberal, observa-se a formação de um processo como ?coisa das partes?, no qual o juiz - como reflexo de um Estado reativo - deveria manter-se equidistante diante do embate protagonizado pelas partes, devendo limitar-se a aplicar a letra da lei. Ainda, nota-se que essa ideologia permeada no plano processual, ainda que analisada de forma sintética, delimitou a atividade jurisdicional, o quanto possível, à esfera de disposição dos interesses da parte. Mostra-se ainda, que a quebra de paradigmas dos ideais liberais, culminou por ocasionar uma nova compreensão do Estado e da sua relação com a sociedade. O processo, nesse viés, agora visto como fenômeno público de interesse da sociedade passa a ser edificado com base na figura do juiz, sendo que o Estado, e consequentemente a própria lei, deixam de ser vistos como instrumentos de proteção das liberdades individuais, para serem instrumentos de promoção da justiça e minimização das desigualdades sociais, caracterizando assim a passagem do Estado Liberal para o Estado Social. Entretanto, a preocupação social incorporada pelo Estado, não foi suficiente para apresentar solução ao problema da igualdade no processo, ganhando destaque, portanto, a necessidade de fomentar a participação das partes na formação do procedimento decisório, a fim de realizar uma releitura democrática e constitucional do processo. Investiga-se uma renovada compreensão do processo civil, de modo à perfectibilizar a necessária postura ativa do juiz, bem como a participação das partes na construção do provimento jurisdicional. Trabalha-se com a estruturação do processo civil sob o viés de um modelo de colaboração processual, o que acaba por acarretar mudanças significativas no modo de organização e no desenvolvimento processual, uma vez que se busca o necessário equilíbrio entre os poderes do juiz e a das partes ao longo do iter procedimental, servindo, pois, de reflexão para um renovado perfil de processo civil, ínsito ao Estado Democrático de Direito. / The present study aims at the identification of the elements that outlined the role of the State-Judge in demeanour of civil process since the Liberal State until the Democratic State of Law. It was found that the role performed by the judge and the parties in Civil Process Law, has clear correlation with the way in which the state is understood in terms of society at a specific time. After a study of the doctrine used by the bourgeoisie, to motivate the rupture of the Absolutist State and its essentially repressive character with the Liberal State conformation, it is observed the formation of a process as "thing of the parties" in which the judge, reproducing a reactive State, should remain equidistant because of the impingement played by the parties, but it must limit itself to the applying of the law. Also, it is noticeable that this ideology permeated in the process plan, although it is synthetically analysed, has limited the jurisdictional activity, as much as possible, to the sphere of provision on the interests of the party. It is also shown that the change in paradigm of liberal principles, turned out to cause a new understanding of the state and its relationship with society. The process, this bias, now seen as a public phenomenon with society interest, shall be assembled based on the figure of the judge, and the State, and consequently the law itself, will no longer be seen as instruments of protection of individual rights, then becoming instruments for the promotion of justice and minimizing social inequalities, characterizing the transition state from the Liberal to the Welfare State. However, welfare concern incorporated by the State was insufficient to provide solution to the problem of equality in the process, gaining prominence, then and there, the need ofdeveloping the participation of the parties in shaping the decision-making procedure in order to perform a restating of the democratic and constitutional process. Animprovedunderstanding of civil process is investigated, in order to perfect the necessary active role of the judge as well as the parties’ participation in the construction of the jurisdictional provision. The structuring of civil process in the bias of a collaboration model process has been performed, which lately has led to some significant changes in the organizational and procedural development, since the necessary balance between the powers of the judge and the parties along the process iter have been inquired, serving therefore to a consideration on a renewed profile of civil process, inserted onto the Democratic State of Law.

[pt] Esta dissertação analisa a relação entre os paradigmas argumentativo e regulatório no contexto da reforma do Estado brasileiro, que teve início desde a promulgação da Constituição da República de 1988. O desenvolvimento de teorias da argumentação jurídica no segundo pósguerra aponta para a necessidade de uma metodologia jurídica baseada numa racionalidade argumentativa, quer seja nos moldes aristotélicos, conforme proposto por Chaïm Perelman, quer seja na dimensão procedimentalista da argumentação jurídica, apontada por Jürgen Habermas e Robert Alexy. Ambas as perspectivas evidenciam o papel dos princípios gerais do direito, com a motivação de todas as decisões públicas. De igual forma, a crise de legitimação da administração pública coloca em relevo a necessidade premente de participação nas decisões públicas, fortalecendo a importância da noção de espaço público e de eficiência. Tais decisões, tomadas com base em critérios de razoabilidade, necessitam de uma atividade acentuada de justificação, que permita à participação alcançar um ponto ótimo. A busca por uma administração pública legítima, eficiente e participativa relaciona-se com a necessidade de publicizar o discurso dos agentes administrativos, o que é assegurado mediante um uso argumentativo da razão. Assim, o modelo regulatório, em vias de implantação, deve- se levar em conta os princípios argumentativos e a parceria social. O imperativo da legitimidade é o ponto de interseção entre os dois paradigmas, onde o administrador público pode começar a construção de uma ação mais compromissada e ética. / [en] This dissertation analyse the relationships between the paradigms argumentative and regulatory in the context of the brazilian State reformation, since 1988 s Constitution. The argumentation theories development is related to the judicial methodology based on argumentative rationality, or in the Aristotelian forms, as proposed by Chaïm Perelman, or in the procedural dimension, as Jürgen Habermas and Robert Alexy defend. Both perspectives increase the role of the law general principles, motivating all public decisions. In the same way, the crisis of the public administration legitimacy put in scene the very need of participation in the public decisions, increasing the public space strength and the efficiency of the State. These decisions are taken according to notions as proporcionality. The search for a legitimate, efficient and participatory public administration is related to the need of publicizing the administrative agents discourses, wich is assured by argumentative use of reason. Therefore, in the regulatory model, wich is being established, must be take account of the argumentatives principles and social partnership. The legitimacy imperative is the intersection point between the two paradigms, were the public administrator can start the building of an action more compromised and ethical.
