This thesis explores continuity and change in the developmental welfare approach in Thailand following the 1997 Asian financial crisis. It examines both the exogenous and endogenous forces that generated change as well as both the ‘process’ and the ‘content’ of transformation or responses to the crisis. It uses the One Tambon One Product (OTOP) policy as a case study to explore these changes. The principle research question is: To what extent did the post 1997 crisis policy on social protection in Thailand represent a shift from its existing institutional path of developmental welfarism? Extending from this overarching question are subsidiary questions, which guided the thesis. They include: To what extent did the OTOP policy address the social protection gaps that became apparent in the Asian financial crisis? To what extent did the OTOP policy benefit its target population? The thesis uses historical institutionalism (HI) and the role of ideas as the analytic frameworks in analyzing change. The thesis argues that the exogenous shock of the 1997 financial crisis contributed to some departure from the institutional path of developmental welfarism in Thailand. However, the change did not follow the conventional punctuated equilibrium (PE) model under the HI framework in the sense of moving from one equilibrium to another after an exogenous shock. Rather, the radical change that took place after the exogenous shock was gradual. The new set of institutional arrangement prompted significant ideational and institutional transformations. They involved both intended and unintended consequences of incremental shifts in the forms of ‘layering’ ‘drift’ and ‘conversion’ (Streeck and Thelen, 2005). In addition, the thesis argues that the transformation in Thailand after the 1997 financial crisis lies in an intermediate order of change that is found between shifts in policy instrument and a wholesale ‘paradigm shift’ (Hall, 1993). Here, apart from having introduced a new policy such as OTOP, the Thai government engaged in a broader rethinking of Thailand’s developmental welfare path. Moreover, the study finds that the structure of economic development in a developing country context can both promote and impede social protection, rather than only subordinate the latter. The claim is based on the finding that the expansion of economic policy goals in Thailand supported local development and increasing inclusiveness of the informal sector after the 1997 financial crisis. Finally, the thesis argues that social protection delivery or lack thereof reflects contestation of ideas as well as material interests. Both the state and the policy beneficiaries in the OTOP context pushed for their interests when there were gaps between policy formulation and implementation. As a result, changes occurred both in the policy goals and in who benefited from OTOP.

La spécificité de l’étude juridique du cas de l’enfant rom nécessite la coordination de différentes notions du droit. En effet, l’enfant rom se distingue par son appartenance à une minorité nationale et/ou ethnique, son statut de mineur de dix-huit ans et sa nationalité généralement étrangère, qu’il soit ressortissant communautaire ou issu d’un État tiers l’Union européenne ; qualifications dont la portée à l’égard de la personne de l’enfant doit être appréciée. Si l’intégration en droit interne de l’appartenance à un groupe minoritaire est de prime abord discutable, l’influence des normes de droit international et de droit européen relatives aux minorités, ainsi que l’orientation jurisprudentielle de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme, témoignent de l’importance de cette notion dans le domaine du droit. En outre, la situation de mineur de dix-huit ans de l’enfant rom le place en principe sous la protection d’un statut adapté aux particularismes de l’enfance. Cependant, la difficile conciliation du droit aux circonstances de fait entourant la présence en France de l’enfant rom l’expose à des traitements non respectueux de son statut de mineur ou du principe de non discrimination, dans les domaines de la législation régissant l’entrée et le séjour en France des étrangers, de la jouissance des droits fondamentaux à l’instruction, à la santé, aux prestations sociales et familiales ou encore de sa protection contre la délinquance. / What makes the legal analysis of the rights of the Roma Child so unique is that he is at the cross-road of several legal approaches. Indeed, the Roma Child is unique in the sense that he belongs to an ethnic and/or national minority, is less than 18 years old, in most cases is considered as a foreigner where he lives (whether from one of the European Union countries or not), all this to be put in perspective of his legal status of Child. If the integration of the fact that this child belongs to a « minority community » is very challengeable in regard to the National Legal Rights, it is obviously much more meaningful in regard to the international and European rights of the Minorities, both in terms of laws and jurisprudence of the European court of Justice. Furthermore, the legal rights of the Roma child as member of a minority are superseded by the rights of the children under the age of 18. However, the reality is sometimes not aligned with the legal principles when the actual circumstances of the presence of this child on the French territory expose him to treatment which are un-respectful to his status of child, and to the legal principles against discrimination. This is particularly true with respect to the laws regulating the entrance and circulation of foreigners on the French territory, which will collide with his rights to education, health, social benefits and protection against delinquency.

Comment le Conseil constitutionnel appréhende-t-il la famille ? Cette question conduit à s’intéresser aux relations entretenues par le droit constitutionnel et la famille, dont l’ignorance mutuelle semble acquise. Une approche positiviste du droit et analytique de la jurisprudence du Conseil montrent néanmoins que ce désintérêt réciproque n’est que de façade. La famille apparaît en effet comme une institution à la fois protégée et obligée par le droit constitutionnel : celui-ci prescrit de protéger la famille et prescrit à la famille de protéger. Le droit constitutionnel prescrit en définitive de construire la famille. La question conduit ensuite à s’intéresser à la concrétisation législative des normes constitutionnelles relatives à la famille. L’étude met ainsi en évidence les techniques contentieuses utilisées par le Conseil. Elle met aussi et surtout en évidence le fait que cette concrétisation tantôt protège, tantôt menace, la reconnaissance, le développement et l’unité de la famille. La réalisation du droit constitutionnel conduit en définitive à une construction législative de la famille. La question conduit enfin à constater que la famille consiste moins en la construction d’un objet juridique qu’en la construction juridique d’un objet. La concrétisation infra-législative des normes constitutionnelles témoigne en effet d’un pluralisme familial, qui contribue à révéler la dynamique de la construction juridique de la famille. / How does the Conseil constitutionnel apprehend the family? This question leads to study the relationship between constitutional law and family, whose mutual igorance seems acquired. A positivist and analytic approach of the jurisprudence of the Conseil constitutionnel however illustrates that this apparent mutual disinterest is not grounded. Family is an institution protected and protective according to positive constitutional law; the latter prescribes to protect the family and also prescribes to the family to protect. Constitutionnal law prescribed after all to build family. This question leads to study the legislative concretizations of the constitutional norms concerning family. This study illustrates the techniques used by the Conseil constitutional in its judicial review. The study also emphasizes the fact that this concretization protects, but also sometimes threatens, the recognition, the development and the unity of the family. The realization of the constitutional law leads after all to a legislative construction of the family. This question leads finally to observe that family consists more in the legal construction of an object than in the construction of a legal object. The concretization of constitutional norms concerning family illustrates in effect a “familial pluralism”, which contributes to reveal the dynamics of the legal construction of the family.

This thesis is about the quest to build effective strategies to support the development of enterprise on the margins of the economy, to create jobs and reduce poverty. A core part of this challenge includes grappling with the role of markets in development, and of markets as a critical part of the context in which enterprise development in rural and peri-urban areas can either provide a path out of poverty – or instead serve to lock people into poverty. The thesis explores these issues by tracking the experience of the Mineworkers Development Agency (MDA) as it attempted to grapple with this challenge. MDA is the development wing of South Africa’s National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) , and was set up to create jobs and support enterprise development for communities affected by the loss of jobs on the mines. The thesis covers a fourteen-year period in MDA’s history, from its inception in 1988 until 2002. It tracks the learning process across several phases in the development of MDA’s approach. These included the development of worker co-operatives, the establishment of business service centres, value-chain work in the craft sector, and the commercialization of a juice product from the indigenous marula berry. In the process, MDA engaged with an emergent paradigm in the development sector called ‘Making Markets Work for the Poor’. Can markets really be made to work for the poor? Or even just made to work ‘better’ for the poor? Or is the process of inclusion in markets inexorably and inevitably one of making the poor work for markets? The thesis explores these issues in the context of MDA’s experience, locating this within a wider set of theoretical concerns over the role of markets in society, and the ways in which societies have protected themselves from the negative impacts of the development of market economies. It draws on wider political economy approaches to argue that markets are institutions that are socially constructed, and explores what scope there might therefore be to construct them differently. While recognising the importance of social protection, the thesis argues that there is a need to go beyond defensive strategies aimed at protecting society from markets, to identify new terms of engagement within markets to shape markets, and to harness their wealth-creating potential in ways that have different distributional consequences, as part of a long-term agenda of eradicating poverty.

It is widely agreed that a society must guarantee a social minimum to all its members. Yet, the organisation of social protection within the European Union (EU) is insufficient to protect all Europeans effectively against the risk of poverty and social exclusion. Against this backdrop, this thesis investigates whether a European universal basic income (EUBI) is, if at all, a worthwhile policy to address the problem of poverty in the EU.The central claim of the study posits that there are strong reasons to consider a partial EUBI as a desirable instrument for EU-wide poverty alleviation. Under this scenario, the EU works as a complementary welfare layer offering systemic support to its Member States’ welfare models whilst respecting the diversity of national social protection arrangements. At the same time, as an instrument of pan-European solidarity, the EUBI provides substance to EU social citizenship.The method used is problem-oriented and interdisciplinary, combining insights from political theory, political economy and EU studies writ large. After having layed out the various dimensions underpinning the problem of poverty in the EU and clarified the contours of the solution under scrutiny, the thesis confronts the EUBI with a series of challenges, ranging from normative issues associated with the unconditionality of the basic income and the pursuit of social justice in the EU, to the institutional hurdles pertaining to the legal feasibility of the proposal, via the macroeconomic difficulties related to the diversity of interdependent economies.Overall, this contribution examines an idea which remains unexplored in EU studies and proposes a new approach to European anti-poverty strategy. It also bridges the gap between EU social policy and basic income literatures, beyond established boundaries of research compartmentalisation. As such, it prepares the ground for further fine-tuned research in the areas covered by this comprehensive multi-dimensional analysis. / Doctorat en Sciences politiques et sociales / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

This thesis deals with the life of mothers with children in the shelter. The thesis maps expectations of these women about living in the shelter in the confrontation with their real experience. The thesis is divided into several parts. Theoretical part consists of nine subchapters where the basic concepts related to the issue of social services - shelters, unfavorable social situation, social exclusion and social inclusion are defined. The thesis describes the principles of the activity of shelters for mothers with children, deals with the state of care for mothers with children in our country and characterizes the development and changes in the function of the family. The thesis also deals with the reasons leading to the loss of housing, the issues of homelessness and housing accessibility. It describes and characterizes the possibilities of social protection of mothers with children without home, besides social services - shelters also conditions for entitlement to social benefits and the relevant legislation. The empirical part defines the objectives, research methods and results, which are illustrated and described in tables, discussion and final summary. The main aim of the thesis was to find out the expectations of the mothers with children about the life in the shelter in confrontation with their real experience. The partial objectives of the thesis were to find out for what causes mothers with children come to the shelter and how their needs are met. Research questions have been identified for these objectives: For what reasons do mothers with children seek for help in the shelter? What are the expectations of mothers with children about living in the shelter? What is the real experience of mothers with children living in the shelter? Were the expectations of mothers with children about living in the shelter met? Empirical part of the thesis was processed by the method of qualitative research using semi-structured interview with opened questions. For data evaluation the method of open coding was used. The research group consisted of six women - mothers with children living in the shelter in the South Bohemian Region. Given the sensitivity of the topic the identification data of women and the shelter were not mentioned in this thesis. The research pointed out the issue of (in)availability of housing for single mothers with children in the unfavorable social situation. The most common reason for loss of housing is the break-up of the partnership, the dismissal of housing and lack of funds. The research also revealed that the main expectation of all interviewed women is to provide accommodation and stay with their children. This thesis helped to find out which services the clients seek the most and whether their needs are fulfilled.

This is a qualitative research, developed through documentary research in ten (10) judicial processes, concerning the institutional reception of children and adolescents, which were in process in the Juiz de Inf?ncia e Juventude (JIJ), in the municipality of the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, in the years 2016 and 2017, as well as in documents that give guidelines for institutional reception in Brazil, which deal with the right to family and community coexistence of children and adolescents: National Plan for the Promotion, Protection and Defense of the Right of Children and Adolescents to Family and Community Coexistence (2006a); Technical Guidelines for Reception Services for Children and Adolescents (2009) and Law No. 12.010, of August 3, 2009, which provides for Adoption (2009). Empirical research was also developed through interviews with seven (7) professionals who are included in the Social Assistance Policy and in the Tutelary Council of said municipality. In this way, through this study, it was observed that the reasons that contribute to the institutional reception of children and adolescents refer to the situation of social vulnerability, poor housing conditions, neglect and intra-family violence. In addition, some families were in a situation of unemployment and informal work, which also corroborated for the weakening of the bonds. In this way, it is understood that, in the present times, a journey back to the past is lived, since there is a regression in the realization of the rights of childhood and adolescence, because one advances in the legal context, however, through the advance of the neoliberal offensives and conservative, returns to the minorist logic in meeting the demands presented by children and adolescents. Also, it is understood that the legal argument has been constructed through perspectives of the moralization of the social question. In this way, a cycle is created, where the family suffers the impact of the capital dynamics, but is blamed, which corroborates for the institutional reception and the loss of family power. Thus, it has been observed that families that have their children institutionally are exposed to a context of (de) social protection. Among the challenges identified for the realization of the right to family and community coexistence of children and adolescents, the current context of precariousness of the Social Assistance Policy of the municipality under investigation is highlighted, since this public policy is surrounded by manifestations of the process of precariousness of the such as outsourcing and the high turnover of professionals, mid-level and higher. In addition, it was observed that there is a lack of investment in the service that offers basic social protection, which, together with the manifestations of the precarious work process, contributes to the discontinuity of care and follow-up of families. In addition, through this study, it was observed that the right to family and community coexistence of children and adolescents who are institutionally welcomed has been effected by violating the right to live with the family of origin. Regarding the possibilities, it is understood that, by means of a public tender, stability would be guaranteed to the professionals, for the development of intersectoral work. In addition, it is necessary to invest more in social policies - in this case in the Social Assistance Policy, with human and material resources, in order to develop a work based on integral protection, contributing with the families in facing the expressions of the social question; in the reduction of the chances of referral of children and adolescents to the institutional reception, as well as the length of stay of these subjects in the host institutions, with a view to the realization of the right to family and community coexistence. / O objetivo da presente disserta??o consiste em analisar como vem se constituindo o atendimento das fam?lias de crian?as e adolescentes acolhidas (os) institucionalmente e atendidas (os) pela Pol?tica de Assist?ncia Social em um munic?pio da regi?o metropolitana de Porto Alegre/RS, na perspectiva da garantia do direito ? conviv?ncia familiar e comunit?ria, a fim de contribuir com subs?dios na qualifica??o dessa pol?tica p?blica. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, desenvolvida atrav?s de pesquisa documental em dez (10) processos judiciais, referentes ao acolhimento institucional de crian?as e adolescentes, que estavam em tramita??o no Juizado da Inf?ncia e Juventude (JIJ), no munic?pio da regi?o metropolitana de Porto Alegre, nos anos de 2016 e 2017, como tamb?m em documentos que d?o as diretrizes do acolhimento institucional no Brasil e que versam sobre o direito ? conviv?ncia familiar e comunit?ria de crian?as e adolescentes: Plano Nacional de Promo??o, Prote??o e Defesa do Direito de Crian?as e Adolescentes ? conviv?ncia Familiar e Comunit?ria (2006a); Orienta??es T?cnicas para os Servi?os de Acolhimento para Crian?as e Adolescentes (2009) e a Lei n? 12.010, de 3 de Agosto de 2009 que disp?e sobre a Ado??o (2009). Tamb?m se desenvolveu pesquisa emp?rica, por meio de entrevistas com sete (7) profissionais que est?o inseridos na Pol?tica de Assist?ncia Social e no Conselho Tutelar do referido munic?pio. Nesse caminho, atrav?s desse estudo, observou-se que as raz?es que contribuem para o acolhimento institucional de crian?as e adolescentes se referem ? situa??o de vulnerabilidade social, condi??es prec?rias de moradia, neglig?ncia e viol?ncia intrafamiliar. Ademais, algumas fam?lias se encontravam em situa??o de desemprego e trabalho informal, o que tamb?m corroborou para a fragiliza??o dos v?nculos. Dessa maneira, entende-se que, na contemporaneidade, vive-se uma viagem de volta ao passado, pois h? um retrocesso na efetiva??o dos direitos da inf?ncia e da adolesc?ncia, pois se avan?a no contexto legal, contudo, atrav?s do avan?o das ofensivas neoliberal e conservadora, retorna-se ? l?gica menorista no atendimento ?s demandas apresentadas pelas crian?as e adolescentes. Outrossim, compreende-se que o argumento jur?dico tem sido constru?do por meio de perspectivas da moraliza??o da quest?o social. Dessa forma, cria-se um ciclo, onde a fam?lia sofre o impacto da din?mica do capital, mas ? culpabilizada, o que corrobora para o acolhimento institucional e para a perda do poder familiar. Sendo assim, percebeu-se que as fam?lias que t?m os filhos acolhidos institucionalmente est?o expostas a um contexto de (des)prote??o social. Dentre os desafios identificados para a efetiva??o do direito ? conviv?ncia familiar e comunit?ria de crian?as e adolescentes, destaca-se o atual contexto de precariza??o da Pol?tica de Assist?ncia Social do munic?pio investigado, visto que essa pol?tica p?blica est? envolta por manifesta??es do processo de precariza??o do trabalho, tais como a terceiriza??o e a alta rotatividade de profissionais, de n?vel m?dio e superior. Al?m disso, observou-se que h? falta de investimento no servi?o que oferta prote??o social b?sica, que somada as manifesta??es do processo de precariza??o do trabalho contribui para a descontinuidade do atendimento e acompanhamento ?s fam?lias. Ademais, atrav?s desse estudo observou-se que o direito a conviv?ncia familiar e comunit?ria das crian?as e adolescentes que encontram-se acolhidas (os) institucionalmente vem sendo efetivado por meio da viola??o do direito a conviv?ncia com a fam?lia de origem. Quanto ?s possibilidades, entende-se que, por meio de concurso p?blico, se garantiria estabilidade aos profissionais, para o desenvolvimento de um trabalho intersetorial. Ademais, se faz necess?rio maior investimento nas pol?ticas sociais ? neste caso na Pol?tica de Assist?ncia Social, com recursos humanos e materiais, a fim de desenvolver um trabalho baseado na prote??o integral, contribuindo com as fam?lias no enfrentamento das express?es da quest?o social; na diminui??o das chances de encaminhamento das crian?as e adolescentes para o acolhimento institucional, bem como no tempo de perman?ncia desses sujeitos nas institui??es de acolhimento, na perspectiva da efetiva??o do direito ? conviv?ncia familiar e comunit?ria.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Michel Jorge Samaha.pdf: 2335647 bytes, checksum: 7af3f5eab3158ad2008664ed705c7072 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-03-07 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Based on the welfare system approaches (WS) and variety of capitalism (VoC) designed by Gösta Esping-Andersen and Peter Hall and David Soskice, respectively, this thesis focuses on the growing theoretical concern with the possible complementarities between the social protection system and the capitalist production system. When these approaches are articulated it is assumed that Brazil has a variety of combinations of these systems and cannot be typified as a homogeneous case. As Brazilian reality is heterogeneous, unequal and complex, the territorial scale chosen for the research were the Federative Units. The objectives of the thesis are to characterize the welfare systems and the varieties of capitalism in the Brazilian States, test the determination among them and identify the factors and the complementarities capable of explaining their economic heterogeneity and social protection. In addition to these goals, the study aims to show that the States are heterogeneous both in characterization of VoC as well as in terms of their WS; the States with matching systems present a significant complementarity and are nearby states. Despite the thesis limitations, it provides a theoretical framework for studying the internal variability of the types of welfare systems and varieties of capitalism, contributing to the construction of a typology adapted to the Brazilian heterogeneity. Furthermore, an ethnic dimension was introduced in the composition of the state types found, a theme that has been overlooked by the specialized literature. / A crescente preocupação teórica com as possíveis complementariedades entre o sistema de proteção social e o sistema de produção capitalista é desenvolvida nesta tese, tomando-se como referências as abordagens dos Regimes de Bem-Estar (RB) e de Variedade de Capitalismo (VoC), concebidas respectivamente por Gösta Esping-Andersen e Peter Hall e David Soskice. Ao integrar essas abordagens, assume-se o pressuposto de que o Brasil abriga uma variedade de combinações desses sistemas, não podendo ser tipificado como um caso homogêneo. A realidade brasileira é heterogênea, desigual e complexa, por isso a escala territorial eleita para a pesquisa foi a das Unidades Federativas. Os objetivos da tese consistem em caracterizar os regimes de bem-estar e a variedades de capitalismo nos estados brasileiros e testar a determinação entre eles, e, ainda, identificar os fatores e as complementariedades capazes de explicar a heterogeneidade econômica e de proteção social dos mesmos. Além de perseguir esses objetivos, o trabalho pretende mostrar que as unidades federativas são heterogêneas tanto na caracterização da VoC como no seu RB, e que estados com regimes coincidentes apresentam uma significativa complementariedade e estão espacialmente próximos. Não obstante suas limitações, a tese oferece um referencial teórico para estudar a variabilidade interna dos regimes de bem-estar e variedades de capitalismo, contribuindo para a construção de uma tipologia adaptada à heterogeneidade do Brasil. Além disso, foi introduzida uma dimensão étnica na composição dos tipos estaduais encontrados, tema quase negligenciado pela literatura especializada.

Este estudo considera como ponto de partida a Constituição Federal de 1988 onde no capítulo da Seguridade Social os direitos do cidadão na saúde, assistência social e na previdência social foram garantidos. Objetiva descrever e analisar o processo de gestão unificada, de dois sistemas públicos relacionados com a proteção e exercício de direitos sociais, o de saúde (SUS) e de assistência social (SUAS), segundo os componentes do financiamento, planejamento, gestão do trabalho e descrever a participação do controle social neste processo, dentro do centro integrado de saúde e assistência social (CISAS) em Pindamonhangaba, no período de 2005 a 2008. Utiliza como procedimentos metodológicos a pesquisa qualitativa descritiva, do tipo de estudo de caso onde foi realizada coleta de dados secundários para análise de estratégias para unificar o SUS e o SUAS no CISAS, um equipamento de atenção básica onde a estratégia de saúde da família e o centro de referencia de assistência social atendem aos usuários dentro dos preceitos legais, na lógica da territorialização. Concluiu-se que a equipe gestora se empenhou em realizar uma gestão unificada mais não consolidou a proposta do trabalho unificado junto aos funcionários e a população, e encontra dificuldade para unificar políticas publicas que já se separaram em outras esferas de governo / This study considers as a starting point the 1988 Federal Constitution, in which the rights of citizens health, social care and social welfare have been assured. It aims to describe and analyze the process of unified management of two public systems, related to protection and social rights, the Health System (SUS) and the Social Care (SUAS), according to the financing, planning and work management components and to describe the participation of the social control in this process, inside the Integrated Center for Health and Social Care (CISAS) in Pindamonhangaba, in the period of 2005 to 2008. As methodological procedures, it uses the descriptive qualitative research, such as the case study in which the secondary data have been collected in order to analyze the strategies to unify the SUS and the SUAS in the CISAS, a primary health care tool where the strategy of Familys Health and the Social Care Reference Center attend the users, according to the legal guidelines, following the logic of municipal territorialization. It has been concluded that the management team made efforts to perform an integrated and coordinated management, but it did not consolidated the proposal of unified network with the work-team and the population, and is finding difficulties to unify the public policies that have already been separated in other government levels

O presente trabalho tem por intuito analisar o contexto de proteção social em que estão inseridos os trabalhadores brasileiros que emigraram ao Japão no passado e ainda permanecem naquele país ou que tenham retornado ao Brasil, comparando-se os sistemas de seguridade social japonês e brasileiro. A comparação em questão visa expor as medidas colocadas em prática não apenas para eliminar a dupla tributação, mas também para garantir os direitos sociais desses trabalhadores migrantes por meio da aplicação do Acordo Previdenciário Brasil-Japão. O resultado desta pesquisa pretende, por fim, contribuir para o conhecimento dos pesquisadores brasileiros de Direito sobre o tema e, oportunamente, proporcionar reflexões sobre as questões eventualmente suscitadas. / This study aims at analyzing the social protection context in which participate the Brazilian migrant workers who migrated to Japan and there are settled down or are back to Brazil, by comparing the Japanese and the Brazilian social security systems. This comparison is driven to introduce the measures which have been taken, not only for the purposes of avoiding double taxation, but also to ensure the social rights of these migrant workers, by means of applying the Brazil-Japan Social Security Agreement. Finally, the results of this research intend to contribute to the knowledge of the Brazilian legal researchers on this subject and, timely, to yield considerations on the possibly arisen issues.
