Enforcing international financial standards in Brazil: limits and possibilities for adoption of IOSCO principles

Foreign capital and institutional investors play a key role in the Brazilian capital and financial markets. Internationally promoted regulatory patterns, especially IOSCO principles, have been increasingly influencing administrative rule making by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) as well as the adoption of transnational rules in Brazil by means of self-regulatory activity. Even though there is a certain level of convergence of market regulatory standards at the transnational level, implementation and enforcement of rules remains essentially domestic. We analyze two case studies regarding the transposition of international standards into the Brazilian legal system, which illustrate this tension between the transnational and domestic dimensions of financial markets regulation. The first case concerns a CVM rule on disclosure of executive compensation and the its interpretation by local courts. The second case refers to the adoption of suitability rules.

Dodd Frank act and the Brazilian capital market: extraterritorial effects of regulation to the over-the-counter derivatives market

This paper aims to describe the chief alterations proposed by the Dodd Frank Act to the American over-the-counter derivatives market and, at the same time, understand the extraterritorial reach of this law compared to the regulatory framework of the Brazilian derivative market. In order to do so, I will study the extraterritorial effects of the law, particularly in reference to the international nature of Title II of the Dodd Frank, which deals with the over-the-counter derivatives, in order to evaluate its reach to foreign markets, especially the Brazilian market.

Applying negotiation skills in the design of public policies: analysis of the city of São Paulo’s invoice program

The author argues that by applying problem-solving negotiation skills in the design of public policies, public administrators benefit from more effective and wide-ranging outcomes in the realization of their goals. In order to demonstrate this idea, the author analyzes how negotiation skills – such as identifying key actors and their interests, recognizing hardbargaining tactics and changing the players, knowing your best alternative, creating value and building trust – permeated and contributed to the success of the City of São Paulo’s Invoice Program (“Programa Nota Fiscal Paulistana”), a public policy aimed at combating tax evasion of service tax in the City of São Paulo.

Vida e morte no direito brasileiro : uma reflexão sobre a relação entre dogmática jurídica e estrutura dos tribunais a partir da decisão da ADPF n. 54

This paper analyzes the Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) Decision (ADPF n. 54) in which the court, by majority of votes, stated that the termination of the pregnancy of an anencephalic fetus does not constitute a crime of abortion. The paper analyzes the arguments used by the judges in their opinions to show that they agree on the conclusion, but strongly disagree on their reasons, with the result that the court remains deeply divided on the legal concept of life. The paper then points to the fact that the possibility of different majority positions regarding the decision and the arguments that justify it is not accidental, but the result of the court’s structure, which does not guarantee the collective rationality of the court’s decisions.

O Supremo Tribunal Federal para além das Ações Diretas de Inconstitucionalidade

Este livro é resultado da pesquisa conduzida no âmbito do “Núcleo de Justiça e Constituição” da Escola de Direito de São Paulo da Fundação Getulio Vargas – FGV DIREITO SP. A pesquisa foi realizada por integrantes do Núcleo e com financiamento da Fapesp entre março de 2012 e fevereiro de 2013. Teve como objetivo analisar a atuação do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) enquanto Corte recursal, função exercida especialmente por meio do julgamento de recursos extraordinários. O nosso estudo examina o processo de tomada de decisão do STF nos recursos extraordinários julgados em Plenário, de 5 de setembro de 2007 a 1º de setembro de 2009. Esse é o maior período no qual a composição do Tribunal permaneceu estável desde 2000. Nesse intervalo de tempo, integravam o STF as Ministras e os Ministros: Celso de Mello, Marco Aurélio, Gilmar Mendes, Ellen Gracie, Carlos Britto, Cezar Peluso, Eros Grau, Joaquim Barbosa, Ricardo Lewandowski, Cármen Lúcia e Menezes Direito. Optou-se por investigar somente as decisões tomadas em sede de Plenário, por sua relevância qualitativa.
