Mechanism Description Ordinary Appeal Generally represent the smallest category of appeals. Recurso ordinario Cases that fall within the CSJN’s ordinary appellate jurisdiction (i.e., those (RO) involving issues regulated by the constitution and the laws of the nation, treaties with foreign nations, maritime law; and cases in which the nation is a party and in which a foreign country or citizen is the defendant, per 1994 reform of Constitution, Articles 116 and 117) may be appealed to the Court using an RO. In the late 1990s and early 2000s the number of ROs ballooned when a special “RO previsional” was established. Extraordinary Used to appeal decisions on cases that seem to be outside the ordinary Appeal jurisdiction of the CSJN. Recurso REs proceed when there is a federal or constitutional question, specifically, extraordinario when the interpretation of a federal norm is at stake, or a contradiction is (RE) alleged between the constitution and another federal or provincial act or norm (personal correspondence, constitutional scholar, 03 April 2007). A potential appellant first presents an RE (explaining why his case is a federal or constitutional matter that should be considered by the CSJN) to the court that ruled against him for approval or denial. o If the federal appeals court (or provincial Supreme Court) grants his petition, his RE is raised to the CSJN and the previous court’s ruling is suspended until the CSJN decides the case; o If the federal appeals court (or provincial Supreme Court) denies his petition its own ruling is immediately executable; at that point the petitioner may file a direct appeal (see below) with the CSJN, requesting that it decide whether the previous court should have denied the petition. Direct Appeal Presented directly before the CSJN when an appeals court or provincial Recurso de queja Supreme Court denies a party’s request for an RE. (RQ) Most of the appeals that arrive to the CSJN are of this type, although 80% of (also called RQs are rejected (SC-03). Recurso de hecho More than 90% of RQs arrive to the CSJN oriented such that it can accept and [RH] and Recurso consider them in the category of sentencia arbitraria. directo) RQs are not a request that the CSJN resolve the case at hand, but rather a request that it make a decision on whether the previous court should have denied the RE. Filing an RQ with the CSJN does not suspend the previous court’s ruling (per the civil/commercial procedural code even after its 1990 reform [Law 23.774]). If the CSJN denies the petition, the previous court’s ruling stands. If the CSJN accepts the RQ: o It can rule that the previous court was correct in rejecting the RE (at which point the case is closed and the previous court’s ruling holds), or o It can overrule the previous court’s denial (i.e., rule that the previous court should not have rejected the RE) and accept the case; at this point the case is raised to the CSJN and the previous court’s ruling suspended. The CSJN’s acceptance of an RQ does not guarantee that it will, in the end, rule for the appellant. 2 Kapiszewski ~ High Courts and Economic Governance ~ Web Appendices Web Appendix 2.3 Most-Used Mechanisms to Reach the Brazilian STF Mechanism Description Concrete review (i.e. requires citation of or connection to a specific case or controversy) Extraordinary Analogue of the Argentine RE. Appeal Can be used to appeal practically any lower court ruling on constitutional Recurso grounds. extraordinario (RE) The court in the instance just prior to the STF acts as gatekeeper, admitting or denying the elevation of REs to the STF. Judicial reform in 2004 (Constitutional Amendment No. 45) mandated that the appealing party in an RE must demonstrate the broad importance (repercussão geral) of the case in order for the STF to consider admitting the appeal. Effects: Inter partes (for the case at hand). Direct Appeal Filed directly with STF (though acts as an appeal). Agravo de Analogue of the Argentine RQ. instrumento (AG) If the court just prior to the STF rules not to allow an appeal to the STF via RE, the losing party may file an AG directly with the STF. Judicial reform in 2004 (Constitutional Amendment No. 45) mandated that the appealing party in an AG must demonstrate the broad importance (repercussão geral) of the case in order for the STF to consider admitting the appeal. Effects: Inter partes (for the case at hand). Injunction Can come to the court in its original jurisdiction or on appeal. Mandado de Created in the 1934 Constitution. segurança (MS) Resembles the amparo in Mexico. A “summary remedy” to challenge rights abuses by administrative authorities. The 1988 Constitution created the mandado de segurança colectivo which enabled political parties represented in Congress, unions, business syndicates or associations in operation for more than a year to protect their collective rights. Effects: Inter partes (for the case at hand). Writ of Injunction Created in 1988 Constitution. Mandado de Can come to the Court in its original jurisdiction or on appeal. injunção (MI) Used to request that courts declare unconstitutional the failure of a public power to regulate, or implement a rule regulating, a constitutional precept when that failure prevents the full exercise of constitutional rights and liberties and the prerogatives inherent in nationality, sovereignty, and citizenship (Article 5, 1988 Constitution). Such a declaration of unconstitutionality for omission does not oblige the legislature to fill the gap, but rather simply guarantees the immediate application of the constitutional precept in question, thus halting the constitutional violation (Vilhena Vieira 2002: 130-31). Effect: Inter partes (for the case at hand). Abstract review (i.e. does not require citation of or connection to a specific case or controversy) Direct Act of Most commonly used abstract review mechanism. Unconstitutionality Renamed and standing expanded in 1988 Constitution. Ação direta de Filed directly with STF. inconstitucionalidade Per the 1988 Constitution (Article 103), the following can file an ADIn with the (ADIn) STF: the President; the Executive Committee of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies; State governors; Executive Committee of state legislatures; the Head 3 Kapiszewski ~ High Courts and Economic Governance ~ Web Appendices of the Public Prosecutor’s Office (Procurador Geral da República, PGR); the Federal Council of the Bar Association; political parties with representation in the Senate and/or Chamber of Deputies; nationwide trade unions or professional associations.

Under the pact, the ministers pledged to remain in office until a definitive resolution of the government crisis is reached. Bornhausen had told reporters he was considering resigning his post because President Fernando Collor de Mello had rejected his advice for ending the political crisis. Bornhausen had recommended that Collor use his Aug. 30 address to the nation to announce he would resign in exchange for a commitment by congress to pass the main points of his economic modernization program within a month. Bornhausen is a member of the Liberal Front Party (PFL), the government's main congressional ally. In an interview with TV Globo, Collor repeated many of his statements from the national address the previous day.

  • Does Amazonia Belong to the World?
    The Jus Semper Global Alliance In Pursuit of the People and Planet Paradigm Sustainable Human Development October 2020 COMMENTARIES ON TRUE DEMOCRACY AND CAPITALISM Does Amazonia Belong to the World? The policy of Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro and his government is to deforest the region. What right do other nations have to give it legally protected status and intervene to enforce that? Renaud Lambert rench president Emmanuel Macron thinks of himself as leading the resistance to his F illiberal counterparts in other countries.1 He started with Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán, and moved on to Matteo Salvini, head of Italy’s (Northern) League. The wildfires that have been destroying the Amazonian rainforest this year gave him an ideal new adversary: Brazil’s far-right president Jair Bolsonaro, misogynist, homophobe and climate sceptic. In August, Science magazine established a link between the smoke that darkens Brazil’s skies as far as São Paulo and its government’s policy of deforestation.2 Macron suggested the rainforest should be given protected status under The fires that kill: blaze in Nova Santa Helena municipality in northern Mato Grosso state this August - João Laet · AFP · Getty international law ‘if a sovereign state took concrete actions that clearly went against the interest of the planet’.3 1↩ See Serge Halimi and Pierre Rimbert, ‘Not the world order we wanted’, Le Monde diplomatique, English edition, September 2018. 2 ↩See Herton Escobar, ‘There’s no doubt that Brazil’s fires are linked to deforestation, scientists say’, Science, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Washington DC, 26 August 2019.

RESUMO Este artigo apresenta os primeiros resultados de uma pesquisa sobre a administração da Presidência brasileira e problemas de governança democrática no Brasil. São criticados viéses eurocêntricos nas análises de presidencialismo, democracia, governança e representação, e são propostas novas análises comparativas de experiências políticas nas Américas. Esta análise da Presidência brasileira revela novos padrões de representação determinados pelo Executivo e um novo estilo de governança aberta e pluralista no recente período de pós-transição. ABSTRACT This article presents the first results of research on the organization and administration of the Brazilian presidency and problems of democratic governance in Brazil. Biases of Euro-centrism in current views of presidentialism, democracy, governance, and representation are criticized and new comparative analysis of political experiences in the Americas called for.

  • SÉRIE ANTROPOLOGIA 301 PULP FICTIONS of INDIGENISM Alcida
    SÉRIE ANTROPOLOGIA 301 PULP FICTIONS OF INDIGENISM Alcida Rita Ramos Brasília 2001 Pulp Fictions of Indigenism Alcida Rita Ramos Universidade de Brasília An American Orientalism Were I to write in Portuguese (or in Spanish, had I the skills), I would be hard pressed to justify my use of the concept of Indigenism. While in Latin American countries indigenismo invariably means state policy or indigenous organizing against national pressures (see, for instance, Jackson's 1989 definition of Indigenism as "self-conscious indigenism"), what I wish to convey with Indigenism is much more than this. The fact that the word in English has no such connotation helps me delimit my field of interest. As I interpret it, Indigenism comes closer to being a sort of American Orientalism, or, in Coronil's conception, "Occidentalism", that is, "representational practices whose effect is to present non-Western peoples as the Other of a Western self" (Coronil 1997: xi). In the specific case of Brazil, Indigenism is clearly an ideological apparatus which includes not only state policies, but especially the vast repertoire of images, attitudes, and actions that both non-Indians and Indians have produced along the history of the country's interethnic front. The present analysis is part of a larger project whose main purpose is to understand the Brazilian nation by means of the representations it has made of its Indians in the last 500 years. The multiplicity of these representations and of their authors renders the study of Indigenism a very complex and seemingly

  • Title of the Document
    Modern-Day Slavehouse - Article originally published in the February 2008 edition of Rolling Stone Brazil magazine Brazilian employers using slave labor find support in the Congress to have their names off the so-called “Dirty List”. The author, the journalist Carlos Juliano Barros, closely follows the slave labour question throughout Brazil. Translation: ILO office Brasilia The workers arrive at the farm in the back of a truck, after long hours on the road. As soon as they see the area to be cleared, they start their first task: building their own shelter. Only then they can rest their depleted bodies in hammocks, protected from the sun and the rain by a black tarp hold by wooden sticks. Their day- to-day life is harsh and requires energy. The rice and beans eaten regularly for lunch and dinner never appease the hunger. The water used to cook, clean their bodies, and drink comes from the same source used for the animals trying to cool down. The cigarette packs and the liters of aguardente (Brazilian distilled alcohol) bought at overpriced rates at the local market slowly eat-up the long-awaited end-of-month payments. Also carefully registered in a little notebook is the cost of transportation, which seemed such a nice gesture from the boss. By the end of the day, the roles are reversed; it is the employee who owes the employer. Only two options remain then: to work, or to run away. This narrative could have been extracted from a movie script with strong images showing the horrors of a distant land – a place where there are no limits to the exploitation of human beings.

    Cuad.CLAEH vol.1 no.se Montevideo 2006 ‘Brazil Needs to Change’. Change as Iteration and the Iteration of Change in Brazil’s 2002 Presidential Election 1 Francisco Panizza* Department of Government, The London School of Economics and Political Science Astract Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s triumph in Brazil’s 2002 presidential election was construed in terms of a promise of radical change, and so against the holders of the status quo. This article argues that in fact a more subtle political game was a stake in the election, a contest over the meaning and limits of change itself. The article examines how the various players Lula da Silva, outgoing president Fernando Henrique Cardoso and the PSDB’s presidential candidate José Serra invoked and iterated a discourse of change to define and redefine the political dividing lines that marked out the electoral dispute and attempted to set or fix the distinctions between their political positions. Keywords: Brazil, campaign, change, continuity, discourse, election, iteration, Lula, rupture. Introduction Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s triumph in Brazil’s presidential election in October 2002 invoked the image of a radical turn in the country’s politics, perhaps only comparable with the triumph of Chile’s Unidad Popular in 1970. Many analysts saw it as a defining moment in Brazilian political history. One of the country’s most renowned intellectuals,the sociologist Francisco De Oliveira, described the election as a landmark comparable only with defining events such as the abolition of slavery, the proclamation of the Republic, and the Revolution of 1930.2 Another scholar, the historian JoséMurilo de Carvalho, claimed that Lula’s victory marked ‘a turning point in the country’s republican history’.3 Political scientist Wanderley Guillerme Dos Santos argued that 2002 saw the country’s ‘first critical 1 I thank Benjamín Arditi, Vicente Palermo and two anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments.
