The Unwritten Brazilian Constitution offers an unexplored topic
outside Portuguese language: the leading cases on human rights in
the Brazilian Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal – STF). The
Brazilian Constitution of 1988 represents an institutional
framework able to restructure the relationship between the powers
after the military dictatorship. The constituents drafted the
Brazilian Constitution in order to set an extensive system of
judicial protection for fundamental rights, by means of several
instruments that have strengthened access to the Judiciary. Because
the Brazilian Constitution has an extensive list of fundamental
rights, the STF was called to interpret them several times and it
developed an unwritten understanding of these fundamental rights.
These decisions are not available to the international community
since they are not translated to English. Based on this gap, this
original book illustrates the main rulings on human rights analyzed
by great scholars in Brazil. The text presents a deep discussion
regarding the characteristics of the cases and demonstrates how the
STF has built the legal arguments to interpret the extension of the
fundamental rights.
This lively, accessible book applies ideas from chaos and
complexity theory to core issues in organization studies. It
develops a new critique of managerialism and (its global godfather)
neo-liberalism, which are still dominant ideologies in management
today. It complements theoretical critique with stories and voices
from the front line of organizational life in Australia, Mexico,
and Brazil. Chaos Theory and the Larrikin Principle argues that
managerialism is unjust - with linearity, rigidity, and the will to
control - producing dysfunctional organizations which then require
alternative practices in order to survive. Managerialism's efforts
to ignore these basic facts of organizational life leave it
enmeshed in unacknowledged contradictions, unable to understand
itself or develop new strategies. The book gathers these
alternative practices under the rubric of the Larrikin Principle.
The Larrikin is known in Australian popular culture as a carrier of
a distinctive Australian identity: egalitarian improviser,
rule-bender, relentless foe of managerial double-speak. This book
takes the Larrikin figure back to its archetypal origins which have
similar manifestations across the globe. The transcultural,
postmodern Larrikin Principle carries principles and strategies of
critical management and chaos theories into academic management
studies and contemporary organizational life. It is a breath of
fresh air that will be appreciated by students, practitioners, and
victims of today's managerialism.
