The focus of this work is on how the educational elements that made up the institution called the British public school developed to form an "imperial mentality" among its students, and how these elements were transported, albeit with some modification, to the periphery of Empire. The existence of a broad and varied curriculum worked to form an imperial mentality that supported the aims of the British Empire from the mid-eighteenth century through the First World War. The use of a case study featuring Upper Canada College, one of the oldest Canadian "public" schools, further illuminates the influence and legacy of the public school model. Throughout the research, references to Upper Canada College will serve to focus the attention of the reader to the manner in which the British public school shaped the curriculum and the ethos of the College.

O estudo proposto nesta dissertação teve como objetivos a análise de um fenômeno da sociedade internacional, a assunção de competências normativas pelas organizações internacionais, e o impacto desses sujeitos na teoria das fontes do Direito Internacional, seja em âmbito internacional, como em âmbito nacional brasileiro. Conclui-se que as organizações internacionais apresentam importantes impactos sobre as bases do Direito Internacional e um dos mais relevantes é a elaboração de manifestações dotadas de efeitos normativos, cuja variedade implica diferentes fundamentações jurídicas. / The study proposed in this dissertation aimed to analyze a phenomenon of international society, the assumption of legislative powers by international organizations, and the impact of these subjects on the theory of the sources of international law, either internationally, either nationally in Brazil. We conclude that international organizations have important impacts on the basis of international law and one of the most important is the development of manifestations endowed with normative purposes, which range implies different legal reasoning.
