- [ Revista Novos Estudos: Raízes sociais e ideológicas do Lulismo ] Autor: André Singer. O artigo sugere hipóteses para compreender o realinhamento eleitoral que teria ocorrido em 2006. O subproletariado, que sempre se manteve distante de Lula, aderiu em bloco à sua candidatura depois do primeiro mandato, ao mesmo tempo em que a classe média se afastou dela. A explicação estaria em uma nova configuração ideológica, que mistura elementos de esquerda e de direita. O discurso e a prática, que unem manutenção da estabilidade e ação distributiva do Estado, encontram‑se na raiz da formação do lulismo. politica politics governo

- [ Pesquisar por: SEÇÃO » Vídeos: VEJA entrevista Fernando Barreto, fundador da Webcitizen e do site Vote na Web ] Com o intuito de usar a tecnologia para desenvolver ferramentas que promovecem o engajamento cívivo, Fernando Barreto fundou há um ano a Webcitizen. Em 14 de novembro, saiu do papel o primeiro projeto da empresa: o Vote na Web. No site, qualquer cidadão pode opinar sobre os projetos de lei que tramitam nas duas casas do legislativo e acompanhar como votaram os parlamentares. Outra proposta é traduzir os projetos para uma linguagem compreensível, tornando-os mais transparentes. Em dois meses de existência, o Vote na Web computou mais de 8 mil votos. Entre os 110 projetos cadastrados, alguns são considerados utópicos pelos internautas, como por exemplo o que defende a implantação da Banda Larga em todo o território nacional. Outros, entre eles o que pretende estampar a bandeira do Brasil nos uniformes escolares, são vistos como bizarros. gov2.0 government governo government2.0 cibercultura icolabora ecn_civil

- [ Civic Culture, Institutions and the Performance of Governments, por Peter Kotzian ] Civic culture is seen as important for the stability of democracy, but also for the political and economic performance of countries. Just as the economy requires certain individual level attitudes, labeled social capital, for its smooth operating, successful democratic governance requires a certain level of political capital, understood as properties and attitudes of citizens which are conducive for democratic proceedings. Despite strong theoretical arguments, there are few tests of these arguments. In particular, there is a lack of studies comparing the effect of civic culture with the effect of institutions. This paper undertakes an analysis of the relationship between political and social capital on the one side, and the performance of democratic governments on the other side. Using a sample of 48 countries, our finding indicates that there are positive effects of political capital on the level and the development of governmental performance. socialcapital social_capital capital_social governo governanca ecn_civil
- [ The Challenge of Poverty and the Poverty of Islamic Economics, por Mohammad Farooq ] In the past half century Islamic economics was eclipsed by Islamic finance movement. Gradually Islamic economics has taken a back seat without any economy to back it up empirically. Although Islamic finance emerged as an offshoot of Islamic economics and with the blessing and advocacy from Islamic economists, prevailing patterns of Islamic finance are markedly delinked from any broader developmental goals. Can Islamic economics step up to the challenge of poverty, or is Islamic economics itself suffering from poverty of substance? Those are the questions dealt with in this exploratory paper. economia economia-religiao desenvolvimento_ecn

Williamson ] This collection of papers is edited by renowned business thinker Oliver Williamson, who is currently Transamerica Professor of Corporate Strategy at the School of Business Administration at Berkeley.

- [ Oxford University Press: Making the Social World: John Searle ] There are few more important philosophers at work today than John Searle, a creative and contentious thinker who has shaped the way we think about mind and language. Now he offers a profound understanding of how we create a social reality–a reality of money, property, governments, marriages, stock markets and cocktail parties.
The paradox he addresses in Making the Social World is that these facts only exist because we think they exist and yet they have an objective existence. Continuing a line of investigation begun in his earlier book The Construction of Social Reality , Searle identifies the precise role of language in the creation of all "institutional facts." His aim is to show how mind, language and civilization are natural products of the basic facts of the physical world described by physics, chemistry and biology. livros_editoras filosofia razão instituicao
