CONSTITUTIONALISM, TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE AND JURISTOCRACY
The project hypothesizes that the Brazilian Judiciary has contributed directly to a redefinition of Brazilian constitutionalism, allowing its qualification as authoritarian and unstable. It is intended to test it based on the fulfillment of three main objectives: to analyze judicial decisions on the political process and on central issues of the rights system
rights established by the 1988 Constitution, whose foundations point to supposed situations of exception or resort to weighing values; verify the judicial position during the transition and on the Brazilian transition, verifiable by the performance of the judiciary in the Constituent Assembly of 1987-1988 and based, mainly, on decisions related to crimes against humanity of the dictatorship of 1964-1985; to diagnose the judicial behavior before the prerogatives of the judiciary. All these analyzes depend on historical, political and information science research procedures, pointing to the transdisciplinary nature of the proposal. The expected results are the orientation of postgraduate scientific work; participation in international and national events to publicize the project; the publication of a research report in book form; the publication of scientific articles in superior foreign and national journals.
