Stefan Staiger Schneider Access to Justice in Multilevel Trade Regulation: Brazil, MERCOSUR and the WTO Stefan Staiger Schneider Thesis submitted for assessment with a view to obtaining the degree of Doctor of Laws of the European University Institute Florence, June 2014 (submission) European University Institute Department of Law Access to Justice in Multilevel Trade Regulation: Brazil, MERCOSUR and the WTO Stefan Staiger Schneider Thesis submitted for assessment with a view to obtaining the degree of Doctor of Laws of the European University Institute Examining Board Professor Ernst­Ulrich Petersmann, EUI (Supervisor) Professor Petros C. Mavroidis, Columbia Law School and EUI (Internal Advisor) Professor Adriana Dreyzin de Klor, University of Cordoba (External Supervisor) Professor Thomas Cottier, World Trade Institute and University of Bern © Stefan Staiger Schneider, 2014 No part of this thesis may be copied, reproduced or transmitted without prior permission of the author Abstract As indicated in the title, this thesis examines access to justice in multilevel trade regulation with a focus on Brazil, the ‘Common Market of the South’ (MERCOSUR) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). Given that there is a direct link between the MERCOSUR and the European Union (EU), because the former is in several aspects comparable to the European Economic Community (EEC) and even the European Communities (EC), the research comprises a comparative legal analysis among four legal systems: (1) the Brazilian, (2) the MERCOSUR, (3) the EU and (4) the WTO. In order to achieve this goal, it employs legal texts, case law and scholarship in different languages (i.e., English, German, Portuguese and Spanish) and from different jurisdictions. While on the one hand it endeavours to explain the problems of access to justice in multilevel trade regulation and how they may be managed, on the other hand it intends to identify what access to justice and rule of law mean in the context of conflicts between the Brazilian, MERCOSUR and WTO jurisdictions. The thesis is structured into six main chapters, as follows: (I) the Constitutional Dimension of Access to Justice, (II) the Legislative Dimension of Access to Justice, (III) the Brazilian Dimension of Access to Justice, (IV) the MERCOSUR Dimension of Access to Justice, (V) the WTO Dimension of Access to Justice and (VI) the Final Conclusions. It begins by clarifying the author’s personal understanding of what access to justice is. Then, it argues that the background of multilevel judicial protection is essentially formed by the proliferation of international courts and tribunals in general and, specifically to trade, the proliferation of regional trade agreements and free trade agreements, which very often include some form of dispute settlement system. Accordingly, divergent or even conflicting rulings regarding the same dispute and/or the same or similar legal issue are possible. The research undertaken extends, therefore, Mauro Cappelletti’s world famous comparative legal research on access to justice. Furthermore, by expanding the work of the Italian jurist into the field of international economic law and establishing links to EU law, human rights, constitutional law, constitutionalism and rule of law, among others, this thesis also argues that constitutionalism is an effective mechanism for limiting abuses of power and protecting human rights, and is a way of connecting diverse regimes. 5 _______________ 6 _______________ For my parents 7 _______________ Acknowledgements I owe God as well as many people and institutions a debt of gratitude for those extraordinary years during which this dissertation has taken shape. Different from most Ph.D. researchers, I did not have one supervisor, but the honour of a very special trio: Professors Ernst­Ulrich Petersmann, Petros Mavroidis and Adriana Dreyzin de Klor. I am particularly grateful to Professor Petersmann, a pioneer in GATT/WTO law and in relating the law of human rights to multilateral and multilevel trade governance besides examining international economic law in a constitutional dimension. Ulli motivated and supported me to deepen my understanding of the complex world of interrelationships between multilevel trade regulation, human rights, legal pluralism, multilevel constitutionalism, constitutionalisation, rule of law and related national, regional and worldwide dispute settlement proceedings. I am also extremely grateful to Professor Mavroidis, one of the world’s leading experts in WTO law and its dispute settlement mechanism. He helped me in everything that I asked of him and in unconventional ways in order to develop my research topic. Always approachable, Petros is also the fastest responder of E­mails that I have ever met, even after 10 in the evening and before 8 in the morning. Professor Dreyzin de Klor, from the University of Cordoba in Argentina, was also crucial for the MERCOSUR perspective of my project due to her expertise in MERCOSUR law and its dispute settlement system. I will always admire my three supervisors for their wisdom, characters, and careers. All of them have been a great influence for how I perceive international economic law, WTO law and MERCOSUR law. Being a Ph.D. researcher at the European University Institute (EUI) was a privilege, as it is probably the best institution in the world to write a thesis on access to justice. The EUI has a unique environment that is due to its very high academic level, innovative thinking, excellent library and multicultural community. This thesis represents a very important part of my life and, besides being a professional exercise, allowed me to meet wonderful individuals who were important for my positive experience at the EUI and in Florence. Although it is difficult to name everybody, a special thanks to Evaldo Xavier Gomes, Lúcio Manuel Rocha de Souza, Fabiano de Andrade Corrêa, Laura Puccio, Lucas Lixinski, Andrés Malamud, Samantha Ribeiro, 8 _______________ Alba Ruibal, Rebecca Schmidt, Javier Habib, Ricardo García Antón, Ana Belem Fernández, Daniel Castañeda, Teimuraz Antelava, Gonçalo Miguel Banha Coelho and Salem Nasser for the support and enjoyable moments that we shared during my years at the EUI! Thanks also to the wonderful administrative staff members Anna Coda Nunziante, Siobhán Gallagher, Marlies Becker and Eleonora Masella, all of the Law Department, as well as Françoise Thauvin, Grants Welfare Officer of the Academic Service, for their assistance on several matters and at different occasions. I would also like to thank Machteld Nijsten, Information Specialist for law at the EUI library, for having purchased all the books that I had suggested and that have been indubitably very important for my thesis. Over the course of my project, I have also been a Gastwissenschaftler at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law in Hamburg, Germany, and a Visiting Research Scholar at the Institute for International Law and Justice of the NYU School of Law in New York, United States. My special gratitude, therefore, also extends to Professor Jürgen Basedow, Managing Director of the Max Planck Institute in Hamburg, for welcoming me there, and to Professor Robert Howse, Director of the Institute for International Law and Justice, for welcoming me at NYU. Being at these two institutions offered me gratifying experiences and I am also thankful to Holger Knudsen, Library Director at the Max Planck Institute in Hamburg, and Angelina Fisher, Program Director of the Institute for International Law and Justice, for the hospitality that I experienced and the facilities that were made available to me. I would also like to thank Judge Sidnei Beneti at Brazil’s Superior Court of Justice (STJ) for requesting his staff to organise a case law research for my thesis and sending me over 100 pages via airmail to Florence with decisions that go far beyond my topic. His package was like a Christmas present to me because it arrived in the month of December. The Agency for International Cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Spain (MAE­AEC) and the EUI generously provided financial support for the work on this thesis. I will always be grateful to them. 9 _______________ My biggest debt of gratitude is to my parents, Carla and Klaus, for their everlasting love, support and encouragement, not only during my Ph.D. research but throughout my entire life. They offered me numerous opportunities to grow and to expand my horizons. For this reason, I dedicate this thesis to my parents. 10 _______________ Table of Contents Introduction 15 1.

  • Ireland and Latin America: a Cultural History
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2010 Ireland and Latin America: a cultural history Murray, Edmundo Abstract: According to Declan Kiberd, “postcolonial writing does not begin only when the occupier withdraws: rather it is initiated at that very moment when a native writer formulates a text committed to cultural resistance.” The Irish in Latin America – a continent emerging from indigenous cultures, colonisation, and migrations – may be regarded as colonised in Ireland and as colonisers in their new home. They are a counterexample to the standard pattern of identities in the major English-speaking destinations of the Irish Diaspora. Using literary sources, the press, correspondence, music, sports, and other cultural representations, in this thesis I search the attitudes and shared values signifying identities among the immigrants and their families. Their fragmentary and wide-ranging cultures provide a rich context to study the protean process of adaptation to, or rejection of, the new countries. Evolving from oppressed to oppressors, the Irish in Latin America swiftly became ingleses. Subsequently, in order to join the local middle classes they became vaqueros, llaneros, huasos, and gauchos so they could show signs of their effective integration to the native culture, as seen by the Latin American elites. Eventually, some Irish groups separated from the English mainstream culture and shaped their own community negotiating among Irishness, Englishness, and local identities in Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Cuba, and other places in the region. These identities were not only unmoored in the emigrants’ minds but also manoeuvred by the political needs of community and religious leaders.

This paper examines demographic and health impacts of the colonization of the upper Rio Negro region during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Smallpox, measles, and epidemic fevers plagued native populations, contributing to the depopulation of the region and depleting the Indian workforce crucial to the economic survival of the Portuguese colony and the Brazilian empire. It examines how colonists and scientists explained the biological vulnerability to smallpox and measles, two major killers of Indians during these periods, and also discusses the nature of the diseases that plagued Indian populations.

  • The Myth of the Marrano Names
    THE MYTH OF THE MARRANO NAMES Texto publicado em Revue des Études Juives Tome 165 Juillet-décembre 2006 Fascicule 3-4 p.445-456. Anita Novinsky Laboratório de Estudos sobre a Intolerância Universidade de São Paulo The romantic historiography about the Marranos and Marranism created a series of myths in relation to the names adopted by the Jews during and after their forced conversion in 1497 in Portugal. The increasing interest in Sephardic history, mainly after 1992, nourished people’s mind with fantastic histories and legends, that made the Marrano chapter especially attractive. The greatest impact came when historians try to prove the attachment of the "Conversos" or New Christians to the Jewish religion and their desire to die in kiddush-hashem. Reality was quite different. Analyzing the trials of the Inquisition, we cannot be sure that the confessions of Judaism were true. In torture the Anussim confessed to everything the Inquisitors wanted to hear and they accused friends, neighbors, families. When we examine the trials carefully, we see that the answers and terms of the confessions were always the same, phrases and words repeated during three centuries. The indiscriminate divulgation of the myths related to Marrano history is dangerous, as within a few years it can lend to a distorted history of the descent of the Anussim.1 Research on Sephardic history based entirely on unknown manuscripts is actually been made at the University of Sao Paulo, and it is opening new perspectives to Marrano history that will allow us to understand better the multishaped phenomenon of Marranism.2 2 In relation to the names adopted by the Jews during the conversions of 1497, we have very rare direct references.

  • Latin American Toponyms: an Etymological Study Topônimos
    Revista de Estudos da Linguagem, v. 26, n. 3, p. 1031-1055, 2018 Latin American Toponyms: An Etymological Study Topônimos latino-americanos: um estudo etimológico Letícia Santos Rodrigues Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, São Paulo/Brasil [email protected] Resumo: A elaboração de pesquisas na área da Onomástica, ciência linguística que se dedica aos estudos dos nomes próprios, não deveria se pautar apenas em um viés puramente linguístico, visto que o ato de nomear pessoas, lugares, animais e até objetos não se dá por acaso. Os nomes próprios carregam, em si, a memória e a cultura estabelecida por suas comunidades, fato que se confirma, inclusive, diante da grande afinidade que a Onomástica possui com outras áreas do conhecimento, como a Etimologia, História, Geografia, Antropologia, Sociologia, dentre outros. Para tanto, ela se divide em diversas subáreas, dentre as quais se destacam duas precípuas: a Antroponímia (estudo dos nomes de pessoas) e a Toponímia (estudo dos nomes de lugares), considerando aspectos como origem, forma e evolução. Este estudo trata mais especificamente dos topônimos referentes aos nomes dos países que compõem a América Latina, sob o esteio metodológico da Etimologia. Dessa forma, remonta-se, a partir da consulta a diferentes dicionários etimológicos, como Nascentes (1952), Corominas (1954), Cunha (1996) e Machado (2003), além de outros materiais de apoio, algumas informações sobre como se deu esse processo de nomeação, juntamente com suas possíveis motivações, considerando os aspectos idiossincráticos de cada lugar. É possível perceber que as razões relacionadas às escolhas dos topônimos analisados foram diversas, tais como aspectos físicos/geográficos e/ou culturais, personalidades históricas, religião e, às vezes, até motivações desconhecidas.

In Argentina, and generally throughout Latin America as a whole, the game of football transcends the boundary of sport and has a significant effect on a societal level. Therefore, what is said within the context of sport can be then analyzed as potentially having significance on a more expansive, profound level. This thesis analyzes statements and portrayals of Brazil made within the context of a sporting competition-the 2014 World Cup- and examines if and how these statements cast Brazil as an inferior Other to Argentina. Theoretically, this thesis uses Edward Said’s Orientalism as a starting point with which to explore how an opposing group can be represented in such a way as to dominate it. Negatively stereotyping and essentializing an opposing group, as outlined by Said in Orientalism is applied to the Latin American context with the help of previous works by Latin American social scientists who have previously decontextualized Said’s work from the Orient and applied it specifically to the case of Argentina and Brazil.
