A todo instante surge um novo modelo de negócio, produto ou serviço tecnológico. Junto com as facilidades e soluções que o desenvolvimento tecnológico traz, surgem também novos problemas, conflitos e litígios nas relações sociais e econômicas. As leis de diversos países muitas das vezes não conseguem acompanhar a rapidez do dinamismo digital. Ainda não há um consenso nas organizações internacionais de comércio sobre o conceito de serviços digitais e comércio eletrônico. É nesse cenário que a União Europeia-UE tem elaborado constantemente normas que regulam o ambiente digital, garantindo e aliando segurança jurídica e padronização das regras com a praticidade dessas novas relações sociais e de comércio, estimulando a inovação e o crescimento econômico. Enquanto não há consenso em relação ao tema na OMC e na OCDE, a UE vem influenciando legislações em todo o mundo e incluindo capítulos sobre comércio eletrônico em seus acordos comerciais de integração profunda com terceiros países. O livro analisa as diversas normas da UE que regulam o ambiente online, tais como: proteção de dados pessoais, comércio eletrônico, contrato eletrônico, publicidade, serviços digitais, direitos dos consumidores, tributação, assinatura e identificação eletrônica. Traz diversas jurisprudências do Tribunal de Justiça e dos tribunais nacionais da UE. É demonstrada a influência da UE no Mercosul, realizando análise das leis e jurisprudências dos países mercosulinos.

Title: No Lawyers in Heaven Author: Henry Milner Narrator: Mark Elstob Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 43 minutes Release date: July 28, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The life of a criminal defence lawyer is shrouded in mystery. Outsiders might wonder about how to deal with potentially dangerous clients; what happens behind the scenes when building a defence; and, that age-old moral dilemma, how a lawyer can defend someone they think is guilty. But what is life really like for those tasked with representing the shadowy underbelly of society? For over forty years, criminal defence solicitor Henry Milner has been the go-to lawyer for some of Britain's most notorious criminals including Kenneth Noye and the Brink's-Mat robbers, Freddie Foreman, John 'Goldfinger' Palmer and the gang behind the Millennium Dome raid. Here, the lawyer referred to in the Sunday Times as 'The Mr Big of Criminal Briefs' offers a fascinating insight into life at the top of the profession, lifting the lid on the psychology of those who end up on the wrong side of the law and those who defend them. By turns shocking and hilarious, this remarkable memoir takes us deep into the enigmatic criminal underworld, delivering a wry personal commentary on the most extraordinary aspects of a life spent amongst the accused. 'A fascinating read as a top-class criminal defence lawyer tells the story of his top-class clients and their top-class crimes'. JAMES MORTON author of Krays: The Final Word “A no-holds-barred exposé.” ANDY MCNAB “An entertaining and revealing insight into the world of the criminal defence lawyer and the inside stories behind some of the Old Bailey s most famous cases.” DUNCAN CAMPBELL, journalist and author of Underworld: The definitive history of Britain's organised crime “A fascinating read and brilliantly written.” CLARE MONTGOMERY QC “Henry Milner's colourful account of a career over decades as a criminal defence solicitor evokes a bygone era of the criminal justice system. In a highly readable style with plenty of wry self-deprecating humour, Milner gives a compelling insight into a life defending some of the big-league criminal names. A must-read.” FRANCES GIBB, former legal editor,The Times “What a great read and testament to a stellar career” CRISPIN AYLETT QC

Title: [German] - GSG 9: Ein deutscher Mythos Author: Martin Herzog Narrator: Martin Herzog Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 52 minutes Release date: July 20, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Am 18. Oktober 1977 wurde in der Wüste Somalias ein deutscher Mythos geboren: Auf dem Flughafen von Mogadischu befreite die GSG9 aus einer entführten Lufthansa-Maschine 86 Menschen. Es war der erste große Einsatz der Antiterroreinheit, und er machte sie schlagartig weltbekannt. Der Mythos zerbrach 16 Jahre später auf dem Bahnhof von Bad Kleinen, als die Festnahme von RAF-Mitgliedern mit zwei Toten endete, und eine Staatskrise auslöste. 50 Jahre nach ihrer Gründung erzählt Martin Herzog von den Anfängen der GSG9, von Erfolgen und Fehlschlägen, aber auch von fragwürdigen Indienstnahmen durch Außenpolitik und Geheimdienste. Gestützt auf Archivrecherchen und Interviews mit Zeitzeug:innen liegt damit erstmals eine fundierte Geschichte dieser mythenumrankten Polizeieinheit vor.

Title: [Portuguese] - Violência doméstica e a Teoria da Ação Comunicativa: uma via possível para Brasil e Portugal Author: Ariane Simioni Narrator: Voz Sintética Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 6 minutes Release date: July 18, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Violência doméstica e a Teoria da Ação Comunicativa: uma via possível para Brasil e Portugal tem um viés não convencional de abordagem da violência doméstica em ambos os países. A partir de um acurado mergulho da temática no contexto do constitucionalismo contemporâneo, realiza-se um estudo comparado acerca dos mecanismos jurídico-institucionais de proteção da mulher no Brasil e em Portugal. Analisam-se dados recentes sobre essa violência nos países e apresentam-se propostas de soluções dialogicamente construídas. A abordagem histórico-constitucional usada é uma diferenciadora se comparada às demais pesquisas existentes no mercado editorial ou acadêmico. Outro ponto de destaque é a fundamentação teórica a partir da teoria da ação comunicativa, de Jürgen Habermas. Noções como espaço público, discursividade, prática comunicativa, assumem singular adequação frente à temática central. Logo, trata-se de um universo imerso em uma construção dialógica entre os agentes racionais. Torna-se cada vez mais importante compreender a dinâmica das relações sociais que engendra processos discriminatórios, repressivos e mesmo criminógenos contra mulheres, em especial contra as imigrantes. Assim, a obra possui relevância para os pesquisadores, professores e estudantes de Teoria do Estado, Teoria da Democracia, Direito Internacional e Direito Constitucional, podendo ser aplicada tanto na graduação como na pós-graduação em Direito e áreas afins.

Wells Narrator: Brandon Johnson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 49 minutes Release date: June 15, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The New World Order is a non-fiction book written by H.G. Wells and was published by Secker & Warburg in January 1940. In The New World Order, Wells proposed a framework of international functionalism that could guide the world towards achieving world peace. To achieve these ends, Wells asserted that a socialist and scientifically planned world government would need to be formed to defend human rights. Wells's motivation for writing The New World Order was based upon the outbreak of World War II. Wells was concerned that the Allies had no clear statement of aims for fighting in the war and that this would lead to the continuation of the pre-existing balance of power. In The New World Order, Wells writes that without a revolution in international affairs and the establishment of human rights, then further destructive wars were inevitable.

Title: The Return of the State: And Why It Is Essential for Our Health, Wealth, and Happiness Author: Graeme Garrard Narrator: Thom Rivera Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 46 minutes Release date: June 14, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A vigorous and timely defense of the state as a force for good For decades now wealth and power have been shifting from states to markets. This experiment has been a failure for all but a privileged few. But this trend is beginning to reverse, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has seen the state play the most direct and positive role in citizens’ everyday lives in living memory. Graeme Garrard makes a powerful case for the state as our only realistic hope of countering the rising power of multinational corporations, organized crime, and international organizations that will always put their own interests first. Today, the state is essential to the health and welfare of everyone except the rich and powerful. Yet it is being rolled back and whittled away, leaving the well-being of most of us at the mercy of unaccountable private powers that are increasingly free from external control. As Garrard shows, the state is the only realistic way of promoting the public good in our time.

Title: Science in an Age of Unreason Author: John Staddon Narrator: Ralph Lister Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 2 minutes Release date: June 7, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Science is undergoing an identity crisis! A renowned psychologist and biologist diagnoses our age of wishful, magical thinking and blasts out a clarion call for a return to reason and the search for objective knowledge and truth. Fans of Matt Ridley and Nicholas Wade will adore this trenchant meditation and call to action. Science is in trouble. Real questions in desperate need of answers—especially those surrounding ethnicity, gender, climate change, and almost anything related to “health and safety”—are swiftly buckling to the fiery societal demands of what ought to be rather than what is. These foregone conclusions may be comforting, but each capitulation to modernity’s whims threatens the integrity of scientific inquiry. Can true, fact-based discovery be redeemed? In Science in an Age of Unreason, legendary professor of psychology and biology, John Staddon, unveils the identity crisis afflicting today’s scientific community, and provides an actionable path to recovery. With intellectual depth and literary flair, Staddon answers pressing questions, including: Is science, especially the science of evolution, a religion? Can ethics be derived from science at all? How sound is social science, particularly surrounding today’s most controversial topics? How can passions be separated from facts? Informed by decades of expertise, Science in an Age of Unreason is a clarion call to rebirth academia as a beacon of reason and truth in a society demanding its unconditional submission.

Title: American Exception: Empire and the Deep State Author: Aaron Good Narrator: Arthur Morey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 48 minutes Release date: June 7, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: American Exception seeks to explain the breakdown of US democracy, to understand the uncanny continuity of American foreign policy, the breakdown of the rule of law, and the extreme concentration of wealth and power into an overworld of the corporate rich. To trace the evolution of the American state, Aaron Good takes a deep-politics approach. The term “deep state” was badly misappropriated during the Trump era. In the simplest sense, it here refers to all those institutions that collectively exercise undemocratic power over state and society. To trace how we arrived at this point, American Exception explores various deep state institutions and history-making interventions. Key institutions involve the relationships between the overworld of the corporate rich, the underworld of organized crime, and the national security actors that mediate between them. History-making interventions include the toppling of foreign governments, the launching of aggressive wars, and the political assassinations of the 1960s. In its long history before World War II, the United States had a deep political system, a system of governance in which decision-making and enforcement were carried out within—and outside of—public institutions. It was a system that always included some degree of secretive collusion and law-breaking. After World War II, US elites decided to pursue global dominance over the international capitalist system. Setting aside the liberal rhetoric, this project was pursued in a manner that was by and large imperialistic rather than progressive. To administer this covert empire, US elites created a massive national security state characterized by unprecedented levels of secrecy and lawlessness. The “Global Communist Conspiracy” provided a pretext for exceptionism—an endless “exception” to the rule of law. What gradually emerged after World War II was a tripartite state system of governance. The open democratic state and the authoritarian security state were both increasingly dominated by an American deep state. Aaron Good concludes by assessing the prospects for a revival of US democracy.
