Although we have information about the unique participation of women in politics in every period of human history, it is the truth that the right and opportunity to do so in public administration does not apply to every woman in society and is not guaranteed by legal norms. Ancient Greek poets, such as Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato, referred to the city as the best state in which equality and justice reigned in society. as the best laws, they also put forward laws that guaranteed everyone equality. Applying the idea of equality between men and women in his writings, the Greek scholar Antifont stated, "Nature creates all: women and men equally, but people develop laws that make people unequal." Abu Nasr al-Farabi, one of the encyclopedic scholars of the East, in his City of Noble People, described a state that ruled equality as a state that aspired to virtue recognized as entitled.

This article argues that problems of terminology also plague the study of the Athenian Empire, drawing attention to the many ancient Greek words that have been translated as ‘empire’. Arriving at the right terms to describe Athenian ‘imperialism’ would go hand in hand with the larger process of understanding other features of Athens' hegemony. For example, while the financial aspects of the Athenian Empire are heavily discussed, the cultural imperialism of the city-state still needs to be analysed more fully. Further study may well show that the major importance of the empire lies in its role as the transmitter of Hellenic culture during the period of Athens' dominance and not in its place as a decisive moment in the history of imperialism.

Proper judicial protection is an aggregate of legal norms, principles, doctrines that allow maximum guarantee for fair treatment of an administrative dispute, in particular, relating to expulsion of foreign nationals. Among basic means that guarantee a proper settlement of a dispute, one can name the right to appeal the act of public administration, the right to independence of a body, considering the case, the right to qualified legal assistance, competition, completeness of supervision. The author of the article reviews standings of the European Court of Human Rights, as well as the legislation and practice of the USA, Great Britain, Germany and Russia on the issue of judicial protection of foreign nationals, deported from their territory. As a result of the analysis, the author outlines three models of the provided judicial protection: limited, selective and complete. Each model has its pluses and minuses, but from a theoretical point of view the best variant is a complete model of judicial protection.

Lorenzo Barbosa had a big problem with his daughter Josefa. In June 1821, in Buenos Aires, young Josefa Barbosa was in love with Pascual Cruz. What bothered Lorenzo was that Pascual was a mulatto, while the Barbosa family was white. When the couple asked his permission to marry, Lorenzo vehemently opposed the union and withheld his consent. He was acting within his rights, since minor children (men and women younger than 25 and 23 respectively) were required by law to obtain parental permission to marry. To bolster his case, Lorenzo invoked the power of a colonial law issued in 1778, known as the Royal Pragmatic on marriage, which gave parents the right to block their children's marriages to “unequal partners.” Even though Buenos Aires had broken away from Spain in 1810, most colonial laws regarding family life, including the pragmatic, continued in force into the national period. But just as in colonial times, children retained the right to challenge parental opposition in court. If they chose to do so, the resulting case was known as a disenso.

The fall of Acre in 1291 shocked western Europe, which had in fact done little to protect the city in its last decades. Plans to launch new expeditions abounded, and among the greatest enthusiasts was Charles II of Naples, after his release from his Catalan gaol. But this was all talk; he was far too preoccupied with trying to defeat the Aragonese to be able to launch a crusade, nor did he have the resources to do so. The Italian merchants diversified their interests to cope with the loss of access to eastern silks and spices through Acre. Venice gradually took the lead in Egypt, while the Genoese concentrated more on bulky goods from the Aegean and the Black Sea, following the establishment of a Genoese colony in Constantinople in 1261. But the Byzantine emperors were wary of the Genoese. They favoured the Venetians as well, though to a lesser degree, so that the Genoese would not assume they could do whatever they wished. Michael VIII and his son Andronikos II confined the Genoese to the high ground north of the Golden Horn, the area known as Pera, or Galata, where a massive Genoese tower still dominates the skyline of northern Istanbul, but they also granted them the right to self-government, and the Genoese colony grew so rapidly that it soon had to be extended. By the mid-fourteenth century the trade revenues of Genoese Pera dwarfed those of Greek Constantinople, by a ratio of about seven to one. These emperors effectively handed control of the Aegean and the Black Sea to the Genoese, and Michael’s navy, consisting of about eighty ships, was dismantled by his son. It was assumed that God would protect Constantinople as a reward for the rejection of all attempts at a union of the holy Orthodox Church with the unholy Catholic one. The Genoese generally tolerated a Venetian presence, for war damaged trade and ate up valuable resources. Occasionally, as in 1298, pirate attacks by one side caused a crisis, and the cities did go to war.

In Indonesia and India the participation of women in politics is influenced by their traditional social roles. This implies that gender ideology, cultural patterns, and previously determined conceptions of suitable social roles dictate the roles of men and women. Although there is a quota system for ensuring that the representation of women in democratic representation reaches the ‘critical minimum of 30%, it is a sad fact that gender sensitivity towards women as a political class is still severely lacking among the political parties both in Indonesia and in India. This is caused by the patriarchal gender bias against women that is inherent in political parties itself and also due to the lack of political education in gender sensitivity for both men and women. In Indonesia and India, the gender sensitivity of secular political parties is almost same but for the Muslim political parties, Indonesia has better condition than in India. Keywords: gender sensitivity, political parties, India, Indonesia

Resumo Neste artigo discutimos o direito à informação governamental como um direito fundamental, e seu processo de positivação no Brasil. O exercício do direito não está ligado apenas à promulgação de normas jurídicas, mas também ao reconhecimento ético do seu valor, por meio do debate público. No Brasil, onde este direito está positivado pela Constituição Federal desde 1988, não há indícios de percepção de legitimidade e validade dessas normas jurídicas pelos servidores Federais, de acordo com pesquisa realizada pela CGU/UNESCO[1].Concluímos que as discussões sobre a implementação da Lei de Acesso à Informação podem possibilitar o debate e validação ética faltantes.Palavras-chave Lei de Acesso à Informação; Direito à informação; Informação governamental; Legitimidade e validade do direito; Administração pública.Abstract This article discusses the right to government information as a fundamental right, and its enforcement by Brazilian law. This right is not just linked to the enactment of legal norms, but also to the ethical recognition of its value, through public debate. In Brazil, where this right is enforced by the Federal Constitution since 1988, there is no evidence of perceived legitimacy and validity of these legal norms by Federal public servants, according to research conducted by CGU/ UNESCO. We conclude that the discussions about the implementation of the Information Access Act will enable the missed debate and ensuing validation.Keywords Information Access Act, Information Right, Government Information, Legitimacy and validity of law; Public administration.

Women's representation in politics, especially those who sit as members of the legislature. From the last few elections, the number of women's representation in the legislature in the city of South Tangerang is still minimal, even below the minimum threshold of 30 percent. This shows that the participation of women in the political arena in South Tangerang is still a minority. This study tries to provide an overview of the participation and representation of politics in South Tangerang City. This study used a qualitative approach by conducting direct observation through interviews and gathering information from other sources. The problems that occurred in women's representation in the DPRD of South Tangerang City could be identified. The results showed that women's representation from two elections in the city of South Tangerang was still below the threshold for women's representation, namely still 14.58 in the 2009 election and 17.78% in the 2014 election, where the threshold for women's representation set by law - the invitations are 30%. The lack of women's participation in politics in the city of South Tangerang, especially as members of the DPRD, is due to the strong gender discrimination and patriarchal culture in Indonesia.

In the course of his lengthy arguments in the Defensor Pacis against the right of the priesthood to exercise coercive jurisdiction over men in this life, Marsiglio of Padua deals with the problem of the persecution of heresy, pausing in one place to remark:By these considerations, however, we do not wish to say that it is inappropriate that heretics or those who are otherwise infidel be coerced, but that the authority for this, if it be lawful to do so, belongs only to the human legislator.

Resumo: O objetivo com o presente estudo foi identificar o perfil dos atores da sociedade civil que contribuem e também são potenciais doadores de entidades carentes em geral, com destaque na doação de alimentos, na Cidade de Guarabira, PB. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa de caráter exploratório-descritiva, com abordagem quantitativa. A partir de uma amostra de 384 entrevistados, evidenciou-se que uma parcela da população já realiza doações e existe um percentual considerável de pessoas interessadas em realizá-las também. A pesquisa mostrou que a maioria do público que pratica doações é formado por homens, porém, sobre quem não doa, as mulheres se mostraram como potenciais doadoras. Homens e mulheres jovens, entre 20 e 29 anos, preferem doar aquilo que já possuem e não se mostram abertos a comprar alimentos para doar. Pessoas viúvas compõem um grupo ativo no auxílio às entidades carentes, mas não realizam suas doações em forma de alimentos, seguidas das pessoas divorciadas. Pessoas com a faixa de renda baixa mostraram ser um grupo de potenciais doadores por interesse em doar, já as com faixa de renda maior apresentaram interesse maior em comprar para doar. Percebeu-se que, de modo geral, há interesse dos entrevistados em realizar ações que colaborem com entidades sem fins lucrativos da Cidade de Guarabira, PB, sobretudo em relação à doação de alimentos. Para tanto, faz-se necessário voltar para ações de marketing social junto aos doadores e potenciais doadores, para melhor desenvolver estratégias para evitar a perda e o desperdício de alimentos e otimizar o processo de doação.Palavras-chave: Entidades carentes. Pesquisa de mercado. Doações. Donors and Potential Donors to Charities: Who are they? Abstract: The objective of the present study was to identify the profile of civil society actors who contribute and are also potential donors of poor entities in general, with a focus on food donation, in the City of Guarabira, PB. For that, a descriptive exploratory research was conducted, with a quantitative approach. From a sample of 384 interviewees, it was shown that a portion of the population already makes donations and there is a considerable percentage of people interested in accomplishing them as well. Research has shown that the majority of the donating public is men, but women who donate do not donate, as potential donors. Young men and women between the ages of 20 and 29 prefer to donate what they already have and are not open to buying food to donate. Widowed people make up an active group in aid to the needy entities, but do not make their donations in the form of food, followed by the divorced people. People with the low income bracket have shown to be a group of potential donors for interest in donating, while those with higher income brackets have shown greater interest in buying to donate. It was noticed that, in general, the interviewees are interested in carrying out actions that collaborate with non-profit entities in the City of Guarabira, PB, especially in relation to food donation. To do so, it is necessary to turn to social marketing actions, together with donors and potential donors, to better develop strategies to avoid loss and waste of food and optimize the donation process.Keywords: Needy entities. Market research. Donations.

Resumen: Las ciudades como catalizadores de derechos humanos han asumido la tarea fundamental de proveer el bienestar esencial para los ciudadanos.
