Políticas de Segurança no Brasil: Desafios Diante das Novas Agendas

In the last two decades, the trend in security policies in Brazil shows the shift path on public policies, that allows us to see changes from state building policies to the growing presence of others public branches and civil society. From state and bureaucratic based functions, security tends to see more as problem of management and public agenda setting, mainly, with growing participation on state and local levels. Nevertheless the challenges remain in terms of changes in the whole picture of security in the country. The article explores some of them, without the desire of comprehensiveness.

A marginalizacao que a privatizacao promove

When people are put aside in the society we have what is called as social marginalization. However there is a wider or even severe marginalization, i. e., the state marginalization, which is the difficulty of the citizen to recognize himself in the state. What is intended here is to identify the main features of such marginalization, its effects upon the state itself and the possible means to overcome it. In order to fulfill this aim it is taken what it is considered to be a meaningfull manifestation of the state marginalization, that is the privatization of public services. These services are usually free but it does not mean that they cost nothing because they are granted by the payment of taxes and so can be at the disposal of everyone. When these services are dealt by the private initiative then a barrier is build and many can only continue to have what should be their right if they pay more than they already do with the taxes. As an example of it we have the privatization of many highways in the state of São Paulo. A certain comunity reacted towards it but all the questions were dismissed AURORA ano V número 9 - DEZEMBRO DE 2011 ISSN: 1982-8004 http://www2.marilia.unesp.br/revistas/índex.php/aurora/. 166 by the authorities as something impossible to solve. The contradictions between the private and the public interests were solved by the legal formality but they show themselves to be expression of arbitrariness and indetermination. One comes to the conclusion that the privatization is the identification of the State with the bourgeois and civil society that turns the public thing into a private thing. Despite of all this and also because of all this the recovered knowledge about the meaning of the State and the exposition of this new marginalization may promote an ongoing striving towards a necessary mobilizing process.

Information access law and disclosing of information by joint-stock companies in Brazil: open data and Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) standard

The strategic management of information plays a fundamental role in the organizational management process since the decision-making process depend on the need for survival in a highly competitive market. Companies are constantly concerned about information transparency and good practices of corporate governance (CG) which, in turn, directs relations between the controlling power of the company and investors. In this context, this article presents the relationship between the disclosing of information of joint-stock companies by means of using XBRL, the open data model adopted by the Brazilian government, a model that boosted the publication of Information Access Law (Lei de Acesso à Informação), nº 12,527 of 18 November 2011. Information access should be permeated by a mediation policy in order to subsidize the knowledge construction and decision-making of investors. The XBRL is the main model for the publishing of financial information. The use of XBRL by means of new semantic standard created for Linked Data, strengthens the information dissemination, as well as creates analysis mechanisms and cross-referencing of data with different open databases available on the Internet, providing added value to the data/information accessed by civil society.

Sugar cane production is of the utmost importance to the economy of the entire Brazil, due to its multiple utility, being used as the raw material for the manufacture of various items, particularly, sugar and alcohol.

Discussão sobre a importância do jornalismo na construção da esfera pública: o que diz o Le Monde Diplomatique Brasil sobre os movimentos sociais

Dentro da perspectiva delineada por Jürgen Habermas, que delineia um conceito normativo de esfera pública e de sua importância na democracia, esta pesquisa se propõe a analisar como o jornalismo pode contribuir para a construção da opinião pública, que pressiona os poderes formais. Diante das mudanças nos modos de participação da sociedade civil no poder político, as informações e opiniões relacionadas aos movimentos sociais na imprensa são de extrema importância para a reflexão sobre a democracia. Com o objetivo de entender as contribuições do jornalismo sobre as questões levadas ao público pelos movimentos sociais, este trabalho propõe uma análise do jornal Le Monde Diplomatique Brasil. A partir do método de Análise de Conteúdo proposto por Laurence Bardin, que prioriza a análise qualitativa, a pesquisa busca compreender a constituição e as ideias presentes nos textos e sua relevância para os debates na esfera pública. Desse modo, busca-se apontar pontos positivos e negativos na cobertura jornalística do veículo, que possam contribuir tanto para a prática quanto para os estudos do jornalismo
