This article discusses the merits of teaching legal analysis and writing and of developing a legal writing program at a faculty of law, and recommends that law faculties around the world incorporate this subject. Once absent from the American law school curriculum, this subject has become a required subject in all American law schools over the past 25+ years. The article suggests steps for implementing a legal writing course or program, and offers a variety of resources for doing so.

The present article aims to show the effects that the coalescence of liberal democracy and globalisation has on the law as a social institution. The law as a social institution is one of the key foundations for the social integration of modern society, which is why we may suggest a reasonable assumption that the role of the law in modern Western societies should be growing in significance. However, the coalescence of liberal democracy and globalisation is a consequence of the evolution (...) of modern Western civilisation and the main context of its further development that gives feedback to the very development process. The analysis of the crisis of the financial capital makes us question the previous assumption because the essence of the law as a social institution lies not in its legal regulation but in its self-regulation that should increase the society’s trust in different institutions, including the financial capital. The present research makes an attempt to answer the following questions: 1) what is the traditional role of the relationship between society and the law as a social institution? 2) what are the most important social consequences of the coalescence of liberal democracy and globalisation? 3) what is the significance of the legal culture under the circumstances of the coalescence of liberal democracy and globalisation? These questions have determined the structure of this paper. (shrink)

The present article explores the inner tensions of the legal culture in consumer society as a consequence of the interaction between democracy, liberalism and market economy under globalization. The interaction between democracy and modern political thought has given rise to liberal democratic society, moral and religious pluralism, and modern law. The interplay between liberal democracy and the market (“new liberalism”) has generated the idea of “instrumental reason”, whose penetration into many realms of life has transformed the structure of society and (...) democracy itself: consumer society and a dangerous tendency of social decline prevail. Under the expansion of globalization and social decline, instrumental law may not be enough to ensure the functioning of society. Consumer society does not understand modern law and thus renders it inefficient. (shrink)

The Jovem de Futuro program in Pará and the implications for the Human Right to Education – DHE Abstract: The article systematizes information about the implementation of the The Youth with a Future Program - PJF in the state education in Pará, considering its implications for the Human Right to Education - DHE, in accordance with what is proposed in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights - ICESCR, which outlines four indicators of state action to ensure the right to education. They are: Availability, Accessibility, Acceptability, Adaptability and accountability incorporated in the research matrix. Related with these indicators, we collected information on official pages of the Pará State Department of Education and on the private actor responsible for implementing the Program, Instituto Unibanco. We proceeded to the analysis of official documents located on the referred pages, in addition to consulting the national academic production on the PJF, with emphasis on its consolidation in the state of Pará, in the period 2011-2018. Qualitative research, supported by a bibliographic review, document analysis and data collection from primary and secondary sources, made it possible to verify the strong influence of the private sector on public education in Pará, which led to the adoption of business management models to obtain better results. educational institutions, with control and monitoring at all stages of the PJF, with serious consequences for the DHE.

Globalizacijos procesų sparta, europinė integracija, ekonomikos internacionalizacija, teritorinis mobilumas, migracija ir dažnėjantis bendravimas tarp skirtingų kultūrų sudaro prielaidas diskutuoti apie tautinio tapatumo svarbos mažėjimą, nykimą ar fragmentaciją. Šioje mokslinės literatūros ir tyrimų analizėje pristatomi skirtingo pobūdžio tyrimai, atlikti Lietuvoje ir užsienyje. Apžvelgiant itin skirtingus forma, bet turinčius temos bendrumų duomenis, siekta pabrėžti, kad tiek teoriniai, tiek metodologiniai, tiek praktiniai įvairių krypčių mokslininkų debatai apie tautinio tapatumo problematiką nėra pasibaigę. Straipsnyje pateikta mokslinių straipsnių, studijų ir tyrimų analizė bei teorinis ir metodologinis (...) globalizacijos procesų daromo poveikio tautinio tapatumo transformacijoms pagrindimas, kuris remiasi tiek sociologinių tyrimų analize, tiek ir tarpdisciplininiais tyrimais grįstų darbų palyginamąja analize.

Razmatrajući pitanje globalizacije u kontekstu filozofije, tekst kreće u pomalo neočekivanom pravcu: ne promišlja o značenju i posljedicama procesa kojeg nazivamo ‘globalnim’ nego umjesto toga nastoji istražiti kakav je utjecaj globalizacije na filozofiju te teorijsku i literarnu produkciju. Umjesto pokušaja da odmah »misli globalizaciju«, tekst nastoji pokazati »što je globalizacija učinila mišljenju«. Za ilustraciju toga nastojanja uzet će se u obzir tri glavna područja koja treba istražiti: Afrika, Latinska Amerika i Indija. Ta su područja izabrana jer predstavljaju reprezentativne regije (...) tzv. »Trećeg svijeta« ili »Globalnog Juga«. Osnovna ideja, preuzeta od P. Hountondijija, jest da filozofska i teorijska produkcija oponašaju onu ekonomsku, a fortiori, zapravo predstavljaju isti proces, što je prikazano na mnoštvu primjera. Nadalje, tekst nastoji pokazati da se usprkos velikim razlikama u hermeneutičkim gledištima, geografskoj udaljenosti i sukcesivnoj tradiciji, cijela filozofska/literarna produkcija »Trećeg svijeta« suočava sa sličnom sudbinom, što može biti posljedicom njena strukturalnog pozicioniranja u suvremenom »sustavu svijeta«. Autori koji dolaze iz »perifernih« područja teorijske produkcije ne suočavaju se samo sa sličnim problemima, nego, kako je u tekstu pokazano, također dijele slične ideje o tome što se može učiniti kako bi se minimalizirala i izjednačila neravnoteža i asimetrična pozicija njihovih kultura.

U središtu ovog rada je pokušaj prikaza jednog segmenta zamršenog sklopa utjecaja globalizacijskih procesa na suvremeni svijet. Riječ je o nizu socijalnih, kulurnih, političkih i prije svega ekonomskih događanja. Često se puta u raspravama o globalizaciji ističu njene negativne pojave i to ponajprije kroz prikaz ekonomskih učinaka koji su vidljivi u snažno bipolariziranom svijetu. U ovom radu pokušavamo prikazati vezanost lokalnih zajednica na okoliš i istaknuti kako je njihova kulturna posebnost ujedno izraz okolišne posebnosti. Ukoliko se iz ekonomskih razloga okoliš (...) destruira do mjere biološkog nefunkcioniranja, dolazi i do destruiranja kulturnih koncepata i obrazaca lokalnih zajednica. Glavno pitanje ovog rada ostaje otvoreno: može li filozofija nešto reći o ovim procesima?This paper tries to present a segment of the globalization processes’ complex impact on the modern world. In this assembly are interconnected social, political, cultural and, above all, economical dimensions. Negative components of the globalization are frequently stressed out, especially throughout the economical chain of events which are taking place in strongly two folded world. This paper attempts to analyse relations between a local community and environment by noting that specificity of some indigenous community depends mostly on the environment. If the environment is destroyed in the name of economical reasons, especially if this is done to the extent of inability of biological functioning, it is very likely that the cultural concepts of a certain community will be destroyed, as well. The main question of this paper remains open: can the philosophy say something about these processes? (shrink)

Straipsnyje aprašomas tyrimas, kuris atskleidžia, kaip biomedicinos mokslų krypties studijų programų studentai vertina savo asmenines studijas aukštojoje neuniversitetinėje mokykloje. Vertinant būsimųjų specialistų profesinį tapatumą analizuojami tokie tyrimo objektui priklausomi kintamieji – studijų pasirinkimo motyvai, studijų programų reikalavimai, savijauta, studijų vietų tinkamumas. Apibendrinus tyrimo rezultatus teigiama, kad biomedicinos mokslų krypties studijų programų studentams būdingas aktyviai kuriamas profesinis tapatumas arba laikinai atidėto profesinio tapatumo būsena. Pabrėžtina, jog analizuotų profesinio tapatumo komponentų vertinimas rodo, kad studijuodami tyrimo dalyviai ieško naujų alternatyvų, (...) bando rinktis ką nors naujo, o ne pasitenkinti esama padėtimi, stokoja specifinių įsipareigojimų.
