The article analyzes some traits of the relationship between the public policies implemented during the Workers' Party’s administrations between 2003 and 2016, and the constitution of a neoliberal subjectivity among fractions of Brazilian working classes.  Such arrangement promoted the idea that social conflict revolves around the opposition between rich and poor, putting aside the individual's relations with class. Meanwhile, “Lulism” favored the development of individualism and entrepreneurship among Brazilian workers. To do so, we will refer to some researches regarding their situation, especially in the outskirts of large Brazilian cities. Besides, we will resort to some observations made by Michel Foucault, since they are helpful to explore those questions.

Este artigo se origina de uma pesquisa que problematiza as políticas públicas direcionadas à juventude que comete atos infracionais, especialmente as adolescentes mulheres. Norteadas pelo pensamento de Michel Foucault, discutimos e analisamos o modo como o discurso sobre a população jovem em conflito com a lei é operacionalizado para legitimar intervenções no meio socioeducativo. Partimos da arqueogenealogia foucaultiana para pensar o presente nas relações de poder-saber, refletindo acerca dos discursos sobre os direitos das jovens que cumprem medidas socioeducativas, pois as políticas da socioeducação têm sido pensada, prioritariamente, para os jovens do sexo masculino, invisibilizando as condições específicas que implicam a entrada das adolescentes no sistema de justiça. A operacionalização das políticas públicas para a juventude em conflito com a lei, no presente, indica a execução de medidas que, subsidiadas por discursos produzidos na relação entre instituições de saúde e justiça, violam os direitos garantidos em lei. This article is the result of a research that problematizes the public policies directed to the youth that commits offensive conducts, especially the adolescent women. Guided by Michel Foucault's thought, we discuss and analyze how the discourse on the young population in conflict with the law is operationalized to legitimize interventions in the socio-educational environment. We started from the Foucauldian archaeogenealogy to think about the present in power-knowledge relations, reflecting on the discourses on the rights of young women who serve socio-educational measures, because the policies of socio-education have been designed for young men, invisibilizing the specific conditions that imply the entry of girls into the Brazilian justice system. The operationalization of public policies for youth in conflict with the law, in the present, indicates the implementation of measures that, subsidized by speeches produced in the relationship between health institutions and justice, violate the rights guaranteed by law. Este artículo se origina en una investigación que problematiza las políticas públicas dirigidas a jóvenes que cometen infracciones, especialmente a las adolescentes. Guiadas por el pensamiento de Michel Foucault, discutimos y analizamos cómo se operacionaliza el discurso sobre la población joven en conflicto con la ley para legitimar las intervenciones en el entorno socioeducativo. Partimos de la arqueogenealogía de Foucault para recapacitar sobre el presente en las relaciones de poder-conocimiento, reflexionando acerca de los discursos sobre los derechos de los y las jóvenes que cumplen con las medidas socioeducativas, ya que las políticas de educación social se han diseñado principalmente para hombres jóvenes, haciendo invisibles las condiciones que implican la entrada de los adolescentes a la justicia. La operacionalización de las políticas públicas para jóvenes en conflicto con la ley, en la actualidad, indica la implementación de medidas que, subsidiadas por discursos producidos en la relación entre instituciones de salud y justicia, violan los derechos garantizados por la ley.

This article begins by outlining what the principle of open justice is intended to achieve. It then investigates the nature of the relationship that exists between the courts and the media, and between the media and the public, and suggests that these relationships are not always conducive to realising the aims of open justice. While the reporting role of the traditional news media will undoubtedly persist, at least for the foreseeable future, it is argued that, since courts now have the means to deliver to the public a fuller and truer picture of their work than the media can, they should seize the opportunity to do so.

Este artigo tem por objetivo refletir sobre o avanço histórico de leis protetivas, que culminaram na formalização do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA, Lei Federal n. 8.069/1990), que substituiu o Código de Menores, e das Políticas Públicas que legitimou no Estatuto da Juventude Lei n. 12.852, de 05 de agosto de 2013. Para este intento, utilizou-se o método histórico-genealógico fundamentado em Michel Foucault. Na análise documental, foi identificada a evolução histórica das políticas públicas do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente e do Estatuto da Juventude, da recente compreensão dos direitos das crianças, adolescentes e juventude. A relevância deste estudo se efetiva, devido à preocupação sobre a percepção dos indivíduos envolvidos, desde as crianças, até os adolescentes e jovens reconhecidos pelos Estatutos como sujeitos de direitos. O resultado aponta que, devido às várias desigualdades no Brasil e à falta de perspectivaeducacional, adolescentes em situação de fragilidade econômica buscam o mercado de trabalho que permite o consumo, e por meio desse mecanismo social forjam uma ideia sobre essa transição, atribuindo  noções, significados e papéis sociais de diferentes maneiras. Palavras Chave: Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente; Estatuto da Juventude; Transição; Consumo. AbstractThis article aims to reflect on the historical advance of protective laws, which culminated in the formalization of the Child and Adolescent Statute (ECA, Federal Law nº 8.069 / 1990) that replaced the Minors Code, and the Public Policies that it legitimized in the Statute Youth Law No. 12,852, of 05/08/2013. For this purpose, the historical-genealogical method based on Michel Foucault was used. In the documentary analysis, the historical evolution of the public policies of the Child and Adolescent Statutes and the Youth Statute, of the recent understanding of the rights of children, adolescents and youth, was identified. The relevance of this study is effective, due to the concern about the perception of the individuals involved, from children, as adolescents and young people recognized by the Statutes as subjects of rights. The result shows that due to the various inequalities in Brazil and lack of educational perspective, adolescents in situations of economic fragility seek the job market that allows consumption, and through this social mechanism they forge an idea about this transition, assigning notions, meanings and roles different ways.Keywords: Child and Adolescent Statute; Youth Statute; Transition; Consumption.

Michel Foucault suggests that ‘conduct’ is not only something we do, but something that is done to us, as well as a behaviour or practice that is an effect of other forms of conduct. How is the conduct of the dance field – in the different ways that Foucault is referring to it – affected by, and affecting neoliberalism? What is dance's role in the contemporary neoliberal moment? These are the questions I unpick in this article. I do so, first, by using Foucault's thinking on neoliberalism and the relationship between conduct, biopolitics, and neoliberal governmentality in order to illustrate how bodies of individuals and that of society are affected by the neoliberal economy. Wendy Brown's work on neoliberalism, which builds on Foucault's thinking, is interweaved in this discussion to allow me to address neoliberalism's function and effects in the contemporary moment. Second, I examine some of the problems of the contemporary dance economy as I, and other scholar-practitioners, have identified them, and address their relationship to neoliberalism, conduct, governmentality, and biopolitics – how they result from conducts suggested by neoliberalism or helping it do its work by becoming conducts of the field. I propose ways we might address them, suggesting that it is urgent that we do so if we are to advance the field and resist neoliberalism. For this, I use examples from conversations that recently took place in the field, such as at PAF London (2015), Sadler's Wells Summer University (2015), and Resilience: Articulating Dance Knowledges in the 21st Century and Post Dance conferences (2015). I argue that dance has an important role to play in changing today's world, but needs to come to terms with what I refer to as its ‘fears’, assert itself, and take action. In many ways, this article constitutes a critique of the contemporary dance economy; a critique that, by showing the relation of our conduct to conducts imposed by larger economies, aspires at articulating our role as central to both advancing the field and effecting social change.

Este trabajo parte de la necesidad de introducir el enfoque interseccional en el Derecho antidiscriminatorio que yuxtapone los factores de discriminación. Para ello se propone empezar por analizar las políticas públicas de igualdad y, particularmente, por las que durante los últimos tres lustros intentan transversalizar la llamada perspectiva de género. Simultáneamente pretende llamar la atención sobre el peligro de desmantelamiento que determinadas propuestas de interseccionalidad pueden producir sobre el carácter principal (mainstream) del factor sexo-género en tales políticas. Lan honen abiapuntua da premiazkoa dela gaur egun sekzioz sekzioko ikuspegia (intersekzionalitatea) sartzea Bazterkeriaren Kontrako Zuzenbidean, bazterkeria-faktoreak aldez alde jartzen dituenez. Horretarako proposamena da berdintasunek politika publikoak aztertzen hastea eta, bereziki, azkeneko hiru bosturtekoetan genero-ikuspegia esaten zaion hori zeharkako egiten saiatu direnak. Aldi berean, agerian utzi nahi du intersekzionalitatek zenbait proposamenek arriskua daukatela halako politiketan sexua-generoa faktorearen bereizgarri nagusia (mainstream) suntsitzeko. This work starts from the need to introduce the intersectional approach in Antidiscriminatory law which juxtaposes the forms of discrimination. In order to do so, it is suggested to begin with analyzing the public policies on equality and, particularly, those that during last lustruums have been trying to make transversal the so-called gender perspective. Simultaneously, it tries to draw attention to the peril of dismanttlement which some specific intersectional proposals might cause on the main character (mainstream) of the sex-gender factor in those policies

AbstractA matter of current dispute in the German waste-management sector is the extent to which it is permissible under EU law to restrict the market for the recovery of household waste in favour of public providers of disposal services, as is common practice in many member states. This dispute raises fundamental questions as to the relationship between the public provision of services of general interest and European competition and so concerns, in particular, the relevant rules under Article 106 TFEU. In adopting this article, the parties to the Treaty have—as will be shown below—reserved considerable freedom to exempt public services of general interest from competition and the free movement of goods. Whilst their freedom to do so may be limited under secondary legislation providing for an EU-wide competition solution, such legislation must take the form of a targeted liberalisation measure which also lays down the accompanying rules needed to guarantee a universal, reliable and affordable provision of services. The secondary EU waste legislation does not meet this requirement.

In this article I examine recent debates concerning the emergence of cosmopolitan norms that protect individuals’ rights regardless of their citizenship status, and the spread of what some have called “global law without a state.” I distinguish between the spread of human rights norms and the emergence of deterritorialized legal regimes, by focusing on the relationship between global capitalism and legal developments arguing that “cosmopolitan norms” can enhance popular sovereignty while other forms of global law do not do so. The latter “fragment the public sphere” and create “privatized” norms of justification.I suggest that Israel inhabits three spatio-temporal modalities of sovereignty simultaneously, and this accounts for the enormously complex and existential nature of the dilemmas it faces: First, Israel is in a pre-Westphalian zone; second, for the Jewish population within its borders and for its one and a half million Arab citizens, Israel is a Westphalian state, which in fact exhibits strong features of a liberal, social democracy; and third, Israel is part of the global techno-economic complex. Within the three distinct spatio-temporal zones of sovereignty inhabited by contemporary Israel, one can detect new reconfigurations of sovereignty and citizenship that have not been exhausted.

This article aims to analyze the process that gave rise to the Innovative Higher Education Program (ProEMI) as a way of understanding the actions taken by public and private actors in the construction of a new project for secondary education in Brazil. The analysis seeks to understand the cognitive and normative framework that gave rise to and legitimized this educational policy, considering that policy is the result of a process of interaction and relations of force. ProEMI is a policy that seeks to transform the public action of managers, teachers, and students in the country's high schools. The study examines the period 2003-2016 and was developed in the cognitive theoretical perspective of public policies, a perspective focused on understanding the formulation and implementation of public policies based on the relationship between politics and the construction of social order and not just as a troubleshooting mechanism. We find that ProEMI originates from the public actions of a number of actors that construct and accept a matrix of interpretation, resulting in the emergence and legitimization of the choice of a public policy that calls for a counterhegemonic high school.

Public policies as a means by which public action is directed and common goals are achieved have long been the subject of study of foreign legal science. In Serbia, public policies have gained more significant affirmation in recent years, especially in the context of public administration and public administration reform. Public policies are studied from the aspect of different sciences, political, organizational, but having in mind that public policies are especially related to the activities of the administration, it is the subject of interest of legal sciences, more precisely the science of administration. The state ensures the implementation of public policies in various areas of social life (health, education, environmental protection, etc.), bearing in mind that it has the necessary capacities and organization, through its administrative apparatus. The aim of this paper is a deeper understanding of the policy-making process, their role in achieving the public interest, the process of implementation and evaluation of public policy effects, as well as the relationship and relations that public policies have with government and public administration, both from the perspective of policy makers and and from the aspect of directing the work of public administration.
