Anuário estatístico das atividades legislativas : 2008

Apresenta dados relativos às atividades ocorridas no Plenário e nas Comissões da Câmara dos Deputados, no período de 1º de janeiro a 31 de dezembro de 2008.

Os movimentos sindicais e corporativos como atores da democracia

Aborda o comportamento do movimento sindical e das associações corporativas congêneres, a partir de sua finalidade principal - a defesa dos interesses específicos de classe. Analisa as relações do movimento com o governo, o parlamento e a sociedade, destacando as principais contribuições que ofereceram para o processo de construção da democracia brasileira. Discute aspectos da crise de representatividade e de legitimidade por que passam as entidades sindicais no Brasil, a partir dos anos 1990.

Outorgas e renovações de rádio e tv : a radiodifusão no Senado Federal 1999-2008

Aborda a aprovação de outorgas e renovações de rádio e tv pelo Senado Federal. Investiga relatórios de comissões e da Presidência do Senado, no período de 1999 a 2008, para quantificar a aprovação de projetos de decreto legislativo sobre o assunto. Analisa os partidos políticos mais beneficiados, as regiões e os Estados mais contemplados, as categorias de outorgas e renovações mais aprovadas e o fluxo dessas matérias em períodos eleitorais. Verifica a relação entre os projetos de radiodifusão que tramitaram no Senado, no período pesquisado, e a localidade da emissora.

O parlamento brasileiro e as políticas sociais para a terceira idade : uma análise das iniciativas da Câmara dos Deputados, no período 2007-2008

Apresenta os projetos e iniciativas da Câmara dos Deputados sobre as políticas sociais para os idosos no período de 2007/2008. Verifica a pauta legislativa quanto à presença de iniciativas e proposições que tratam da questão das pessoas da terceira idade na perspectiva de melhorar a situação dos idosos no Brasil. Na análise, os temas foram classificados por assunto/categorias e percebeu-se que os assuntos mais frequentes se relacionavam com o aumento da renda e dos benefícios para as pessoas idosas, dedução no imposto de renda, qualidade e segurança na utilização do transporte e que as proposições em geral buscam elevar o limite de renda familiar e proporcionar melhoria na qualidade de vida e dar segurança às pessoas idosas. Foi notada a ausência de iniciativas nas áreas de educação, violência e comunicação, bem como carência em outras áreas como habitação, lazer, cultura e trabalho. Constatou-se que a Câmara dos Deputados tem atividade sobre a área estudada, embora não muito intensa. Nos anos de 2007 e 2008 somaram-se cinco mil trezentos e trinta e oito proposições apresentadas à Câmara dos Deputados, das quais, cento e sete foram na temática do idoso. A maioria dos projetos apresentados pelos Deputados Federais que continham objetivos semelhantes ou idênticos - por força regimental - acabaram apensados aos projetos de iniciativa do Senado Federal ou do Poder Executivo. No período pesquisado duas proposições transformaram-se em norma jurídica, nenhuma oriunda da Câmara dos Deputados. Uma teve origem no Senado Federal e a outra no Poder Executivo.

Paciano II: the report of a conversation on whaling and science, 1-3 March 2008 (Paciano, Umbria)

In 2006 the UK-based charity, Global Ocean, with local support from the Third Millennium Foundation, convened a Conversation among specialists about the problems facing the conservation of whales. Called "A consultation on whaling", this gathering was held in the ancient village of Paciano, in Umbria near the border with Tuscany, 15 – 17 October 2006. There were 15 participants from 11 countries. Dr Kees Lankester served as moderator. The outcome was an Aide Memoire which served to guide the participants in the run-up to the 2007 meeting of the International Whaling Commission (IWC), held in Anchorage, Alaska, in June. One point of agreement was that a second consultation should be held in the months following the Anchorage meeting, involving some but not necessarily all of the participants in the first, but concentrating this time on scientific issues – especially those encountered in the Scientific Committee of the IWC –with particular attention to informing a wider public about those scientific activities in relation to the problems confronting the IWC and the views of scientists about them. This document is the report of that Conversation, referred to as Paciano II. The moderator was Dr Giuseppe Notarbartolo di Sciara and the Report was written by Kieran Mulvaney in consultation with all participants, and with reference to an Aide Memoire prepared by the Rapporteur, Dr Russell Leaper. The sponsor and organisers have agreed with the general sentiment expressed by participants in Paciano II that further such conversations should be held at roughly yearly intervals and they will try to satisfy that desire. Although these future gatherings would be concerned with the living ocean they would not necessarily be restricted in future to consideration of whales and whaling. Discussions are on-going for selection of a theme which is of both scientific interest and practical concern for conservation of marine life and management of the uses of ocean space.
