  In Search of Rights: social movements, judicial institutions and public policies

  Ciências Sociais Unisinos Vol. 56, nº 3 (september - december 2020)

  The global expansion of the judiciary and access to justice has highlighted institutions of the justice system that focus on defending social rights. Realizing the judicial path as an important way in the search for access to health rights, education, social assistance, among others, social movements began to equip themselves legally to work with judicial institutions. Judicial and also extrajudicial appeals, without the so-called judicialization, are increasingly frequent. The proposed Dossier aims to present the debate on the effects of interaction between social movements, judicial institutions and public policies, theoretically and empirically discussing questions about how social movements mobilize law and judicial institutions to claim and guarantee access to rights? How does this interaction impact the production of public policies? How do mobilizations through judicial institutions affect the different stages of public policy? What are the new governance standards installed from these interactions? And, on the other hand, what are the effects of the use of judicial strategy on social movements?

  Colombian history congress

  Le congrès de Cúcuta de 1821 approuva une constitution dont le principal objectif était la création de la République de Colombie, plus connue sous le nom de Grande Colombie. Issue des mouvements révolutionnaires et militaires qui aboutirent à la formation de gouvernements indépendants et des régimes politiques modernes sur des territoires qui jusqu’alors avaient appartenu aux possessions d’outre-mer des empires de l’Espagne et du Portugal, la Colombie se composait de l’union des actuels États de Colombie, du Venezuela, d'Équateur et du Panama. Le congrès d’histoire à la Villa du Rosaire, tout en profitant de l’actuelle conjoncture commemorative, offre une occasion de réflexion unique sur les indépendances et sur l’histoire contemporaine colombienne en général.

  Social Rights and Democracy

  Prim@ Facie, Vol 15, No 29 (2016)

  We are especially interested in manuscripts on social rights and democracy. Our intent is to prepare a set of discussions on how democracies promote social rights today, i.e., to what extent social movements, legal institutions, parliaments and executive power are able to find solutions to the challenges of democracies today? Have, for example, affirmative action, housing and health care programs, and even direct financial assistance to the poor actually reduced inequality? In addition, what are the most effective solutions for poverty? Are courts the best way to ensure social rights today? We are also interested in papers that address the costs of social programs. These are some of the possibilities, but many other questions may be brought to the table. We encourage submissions based on historical approaches carried out by jurists, political scientists, historians, sociologists, and other professionals in fields that have particular focus on legal problems.

  Education, ethics and politics in contemporary times

  Dans un moment où l’air du temps impose des ruptures (et pas encore une continuité) par rapport à l’ordre établi, la relation entre éthique, politique et éducation se donne à penser. Non pas comme « objet », mais comme interpellation vitale. La pensée française joue un rôle pivot en ce qui concerne les questions contemporaines d’intégration des différences culturelles (la philosophie de la différence) et de réflexion sur les enjeux politiques qui en découlent (l’idée d’une démocratie à venir).
