Often found in civil cases, but not exclusively, the institution of disjunction appears as a mechanism for simplifying the trial of cases by separating the trial of cases or certain petitions from the same action, in cases regulated by law. This article aims to analyze the possibility of disjoining a subsidiary petition from complex action, in situations where for the trial of this petition it is necessary to administer evidence that requires a longer period of time.

First of all, I would like to thank Holger Knudsen, a good old friend, for this invitation. It is very important for us Brazilians to get an opportunity to talk about our new Civil Code, since it has been harshly criticized for its bad sides and warmly praised for its good ones. I also would like to thank the Law Librarians' Discussion Group, which has organized this event, and you for your presence and interest in this subject.

Abstract:Skepticism prevails among a substantial number of economists over a possible connection between civil liberties and the level of economic activity. Until now, empirical research on economic growth has found mixed evidence on the influence of civil liberties. Disaggregation of the Freedom House Civil Liberties Index allows a fresh empirical look at the effect of human rights on long-term growth or economic development. Our results show that one of the four subcategories of the index outperforms all available indicators of property rights institutions in explaining long-term economic growth. This subcategory, Personal Autonomy and Individual Rights, captures the level of second generation human rights that affect the mobility of individuals with respect to housing, employment and university education, as well as the level of protection of property rights. This result is robust with respect to reverse causation, important omitted variables such as geography and human capital, as well as to a variety of sensitivity tests. We also discuss in our conceptual framework how civil liberties work as an indicator of the prevalence of the rule of law and how the latter affects growth or development as an essential public input.

"Long Island has been in the corridors of almost all major turning points of American history, but Long Island has been overlooked as a battleground of the civil rights movement. Since early colonization by the English settlers in the 17th century, the shadow of slavery has bequeathed a racial caste system that has directly or indirectly been enforced. During World War II, every member of society was asked to participate in ending tyranny within European and Asian borders. Homeward-bound black soldiers expected a societal change in race relations; instead they found the same racial barriers they experienced prior to the war. They were refused homes in developments such as Levittown, denied mortgages, and had their children face limited educational opportunities. Collective efforts from organizations such as Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) employed civil disobedience as a tactic to fracture racial barriers."--Amazon.com

This article identifies a mechanism through which multiparty mediation – mediation with multiple active third parties – has positive effects on civil war resolution. Balanced mediation efforts – those providing third parties biased toward both sides of the dispute – have unique advantages in generating peaceful outcomes. In particular, balanced efforts alleviate the commitment concerns faced by both the rebel group and the government, improving the prospects for peace. In this article, I develop a measure, Mediation balance, which aggregates the mediators' biases when multiple third parties are present. I also consider, both theoretically and empirically, how the number of mediators interacts with mediation balance to shape outcomes. I test my theory on civil war mediation attempts between 1989 and 2005, finding that balanced mediation efforts improve the probability of reaching an agreement. Furthermore, the strength of this effect is influenced by the number of mediators involved. Mediation balance also influences the probability the agreement halts the violence, albeit in unexpected ways.

Este artículo trata de ordenar e ilustrar las ideas de A. de Tocqueville sobre el papel de la religión en la sociedad democrática. Entre ellas, se destaca la que sostiene que el cultivo tolerante y desdogmatizado de la religión ejerce, desde el espacio de la sociedad civil, un influjo beneficioso sobre el espíritu de la libertad democrática ; This article tries to organize and ilustrate Tocqueville's ideas about the role that religion plays in a democratic society. Among these ideas the one that promotes a tolerant and non-dogmatic cultivation of religion is the most outstanding. According to it religion has through civil society a positive influence on the spirit of democratic freedom

The Chinese Party-state's repression of politically sensitive social organizations is well-known. Less known, however, is how the central state has governed a broader range of social organizations that have violated laws or regulations and are hence considered "untrustworthy" in the context of the social credit system. Analyzing over 22,000 entries of social organizations on the Ministry of Civil Affairs' National Social Organization Credit Information Public Notification Platform, this study examines which social organizations are publicly designated as untrustworthy—and why—as well as punishments and possibilities for redemption. The study finds that, on the one hand, the Xi Jinping administration has increased governance transparency by selectively publicizing untrustworthy organizations through the social credit system and standardizing their punishments. On the other hand, the administration continues to be opaque about its treatment of more politically sensitive organizations, such as those advocating for civil rights or representing marginalized communities. By maintaining an incomplete public list of banned organizations, the Party-state preserves maximum discretionary power over the most politically threatening sector. This governance approach breaks from the past in rendering civil society more legible while continuing the Party-state's tradition of flexible control. (China J/GIGA)

La desobediencia civil proviene de la transmutación de convicciones personales a intereses grupales, es acción pública y pacífica que transgrede algunas normas jurídicas. Es esencial- mente política porque, aunque no pretenda el cambio estructural de un régimen político y jurídico, busca la enmienda de ciertas leyes o medidas de gobierno. Los desobedientes civiles pertenecen al tejido social cívico y expresan visiones éticas que han sido deficientemente inter- pretadas en el orden jurídico; si la relación del campo civil con el área estatal dista de ser comunicativa, porque la esfera estatal no recepta la dinámica de la sociedad civil, la suerte de la desobediencia civil es su destierro de la vida social; de manera distinta, si la organización estatal está al servicio de la sociedad civil, la acción de los desobedientes civiles constituye una alarma moral que advierte y propugna cambios en la vida social y en la legislación que la sustenta. ; Civil disobedience comes from the transmutation of personal convictions to group interests; it is a public and peaceful action that violates some legal norms. It is essentially political because, although it does not intend the structural change of a political and legal system, it seeks the amendment of certain laws or government measures. Civil disobedient individuals belong to the civic social fabric and express ethical visions that have been poorly interpreted in the legal order. If the relationship between the state and the civil field is far from being communicative because the state sphere does not grasp the dynamics of civil society, the fate of civil disobedience is its banishment from society. On the other hand, if state organization is at the civil society's service, the action of the civil disobedient constitutes a moral alarm that warns and advocates changes in social life and the legislation that supports it.
