Crise econômica e possíveis perspectivas jurídico-sociais

Abstract

Zygmunt Bauman (1999) seems to be incredibly fragile vis-à-vis the economic scenario, particularly after the first effects of the 2008 crisis. It is undeniable that since then, the so-called globalization began to present new features and deliver new consequences, with strong influence in the way peoples and nations share their lives.We could say that a new threshold into the twenty first century is now being detected with the realization that we live in a crisis marked by harsh uncertainties around the globe. The current downturn and shock in financial markets, the recent population growth, changes in concepts of sovereignty, the urge to protect the human rights, the emergence of transnational organized crime activities and the environmental effects of the development model can be felt globally, with evident legal and social consequences, calling for further sociological, regulatory and political references. 040 : ENGLISH VERSION 10 REVISTA DIREITO GV, SÃO PAULO 5(2) | P. 040-052 |Among the numerous global risks, the economic risk affects most remarkably today's society, since it is directly related to economic ideologies, research and technological innovation, use of new substances and techniques, consumption habits, and practices and actions with international repercussions. Its collective appropriations, within and among generations, in the short, medium and long term, combined with flexible and dynamic features enhanced by its geographical expansiveness, possible irreversibility and a typical dispersibility, makes it outweigh sovereignty, nationalities, jurisdictions, territorialities or social positions, in the widened universe of those afflicted, with numerous trends of contrasting and paradoxical efforts, ranging from the utopia of universal citizenship and the ethics of solidarity to the understanding of the need for distinguished solutions at local, national, international and community-based levels, sector-specific solutions and options provided with unprecedented flexibility, with the corresponding social and political responsibilities and profound changes in public management practices, affecting applicable legal systems.In this aspect, the globalization of economic risk can be understood as a metaphor corresponding to the phenomenon of intensification of the consequences of the crisis into the economic, financial, commercial, informational, technological, behavioral and cultural flow, hence the decrease of spatial and temporal distances, causing a reshaping of what is meant by borders and bringing in new political and legal expectations, especially with regard to the principles of sovereignty, characterization and recognition of human rights and international public order.The earliest concept of sovereignty indicated the State's supreme and independent power to act internally and externally in support of its exclusive purpose, without considering any possible implications related to other peoples, its actions inflated with the presumption of regularity. These powers, however, suffered limitations...

Rentabilidade e crise: estudo nas empresas de consumo cíclico / Profitability and crisis: study in cyclic consumer companies

“…Em meio às incertezas no âmbito mundial, a crise é desencadeada por diversas rupturas nos setores da economia onde há um atual abalo nos mercados financeiros, onde estão ligados ao crescimento demográfico, a modificação de conceitos de soberania, a proteção dos direitos humano de forma elevada, e ao surgirem novos grupos da criminalidade organizada com ações transnacionais. Desse modo, faz-se necessário uma tomada de decisão mais severa (Cunha, 2009).…”

Cidadania, Estado E Sistema Monetário Internacional

“…Não obstante isso, o Estado é ainda sujeito relevante para contrapor-se ao mercado financeiro internacional e para combater a restrição do espaço público pelo poder do mercado globalizado, conquanto se possa esperar resultados limitados enquanto não se estabeleça um novo consenso entre os Estados acerca dos princípios que devem reger o Sistema Monetário Internacional. Resta esperar que esse consenso possa emergir de uma pauta de discussão global derivada do problema do terrorismo (sobretudo no pós-11 de setembro de 2001) e da crise financeira de 2008 (e aqui temos o nefasto 15 de setembro de 2008, marcado pela quebra do banco de investimentos Lehman Brothers) (CUNHA, 2009;THE ECONOMIST, 2013).…”
