Abstract: Justice Reform in developing countries is one of the most important priorities of international economic organizations. Reform is frequently pursued by setting up new institutions beyond national authorities, in order to prevent national government interference with their functions. The theories linking economic growth and rule of law models offer legitimization to the legal transplants required to meet international standards. The Cambodian case shows that this connection is often unbalanced and the regulation of the new models seeks productive increase rather than better justice in the field of fundamental rights.Resumo: Areforma da justiçanos países em desenvolvimentoé uma dasprioridades maisimportantes das organizaçõeseconômicas internacionais.Esse objetivo éfrequentementeseguido pela criação denovas instituiçõespara alémdas autoridades nacionais, a fim deimpedir que estasinterfiram emsuas funções.Teoriasque ligamo crescimento econômico e anormatividadede modelosjurídicosoferecemlegitimaçãoàs migraçõeslegaisnecessárias para cumprir ospadrões internacionais.O casodo Camboja, no entanto, destacaque esta ligaçãoé muitas vezesdesequilibradae a regulamentaçãodo novomodelo buscamaisumincrementoprodutivo do quemelhorar a Justiça nodomínio dos Direitos Fundamentais.

Social policy: Targeting or Universalism? Public debate on social policies in Brazil has focused on the choice between targeted and universal programs. The article argues that the choice is unclear and misleading unless a previous decision is taken concerning principles of social justice. After distinguishing three different connotations of targeting - as residualism, conditionality or retification - and noting that universal programs may be compatible with minimalist social policy, the article goes on to make explicit a number of neglected options.

This article explores the role of the European Union in the human rights protection, implementation and promotion in Serbia. It is clear that the EU demands on democratisation in the region of Western Balkans are crucial to achieve the respect for human rights. The human rights standards as part of the conditionality criteria of the EU is a clear message towards the countries aspiring membership. However, Serbia progress in the field has been difficult due to several internal constraints. This paper aims to uncover the democratisation process of Serbia on its path towards the EU, and its progress (or not) regarding human rights protection and implementation.
