Resumo: | This paper describes the dynamics of Brazil's Supreme Court decision-making in the period of democratic transition. It describes how the sitting Justices of the Supreme Court, from 1978 to 1988, decide judicial review cases. Our goal is to identify through the W-Nominate method the formation of coalitions, and to verify whether they can be explained by presidential nominations and past career paths of Justices. We conclude that the court was quite consensual during the democratic transition, since only 11% of the 703 judicial review cases filed and judged in the period, were decided by a majority. The model showed that although the presidential nomination helps to understand the formation of coalitions, this factor is not sufficient to explain the pattern of divergence among the Justices. |

Nosso objetivo é identificar a formação de coalizões, e verificar se, e em que medida, as nomeações presidenciais e as trajetórias de carreira pregressas dos ministros ajudam a explicar essas coalizões, a partir do emprego do método de escalonamento multidimensional de votos W-Nominate. Concluímos que o STF foi bastante consensual no período de transição democrática, sendo que do total de 703 representações de inconstitucionalidade impetradas e julgadas no período, apenas 11% foram decididas de forma majoritária. O modelo mostrou que, embora a nomeação presidencial ajude a compreender a formação de coalizões, não é fator suficiente para explicar o padrão de divergência entre os ministros.Rede de Estudos Empíricos em Direito2022-04-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://reedrevista.org/reed/article/view/563Brazilian Journal of Empirical Legal Studies; Vol. 9 (2022): Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direito; 1-27Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direito; v. 9 (2022): Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direito; 1-272319-081710.19092/reed.v9reponame:Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direitoinstname:Rede de Pesquisa Empírica em Direito (REED)instacron:RPEDporhttps://reedrevista.org/reed/article/view/563/360Copyright (c) 2022 Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direitohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, Fabiana Luci deBassi Stern, RafaelNoli, Ana Fernanda2023-04-04T15:11:03Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/563Revistahttps://reedrevista.org/reedONGhttps://reedrevista.org/reed/oaimvchein@gmail.com||reed.revista@gmail.com2319-08172319-0817opendoar:2023-04-04T15:11:03Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direito - Rede de Pesquisa Empírica em Direito (REED)false |
