  1. 1. A Batalha Dos Poderes

    An analytical examination of contemporary tensions among Brazil’s branches of government, focusing on how clashes between the executive, legislature and judiciary reshape constitutional practice and democratic governance; it explores the causes and consequences of judicial activism and the politicization of courts, evaluates conflicts over institutional boundaries and accountability, and highlights risks to legal certainty and democratic stability, while outlining proposals and normative principles aimed at recalibrating the separation of powers and strengthening checks and balances.
