Resumo: This paper examines the role of Brazil’s Supreme Court from an abstract judicial review because it helps to protect economic rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil of 1988. From an empirical examination of court judgments regarding economic rights, it is possible to understand the decision-making-process, as well as some sociological contributions that serve as a starting point for an important reflection between court and society. This study address two main questions: (i) What authorizes (unelected) Brazilian judges to implement economic policies that are necessary for the effective enjoyment of fundamental rights? (ii) Moreover, in practice, are courts institutionally capable of dealing with the complex technical and political issues that permeate this theme? The first question deals with the issue of the legitimacy of judges; and the second question highlights internal questions about the structure and operation of Brazilian courts. Finally, considering Brazil as a nation, this paper indicates the difficulties of the Brazilian Supreme Court in managing legal uncertainties that may impact the economy, sometimes causing even greater social turmoil and, at the same time, reveals the need for openness of the legal system in regards to innovation and cooperation between the many social institutions of law.

Por meio da apresentação de uma amostra de julgamentos da corte sobre a matéria, observa-se a operação decisória do tribunal, bem como são delimitados alguns aportes sociológicos que servem como ponto de partida para a reflexão sobre a relação entre o tribunal e a sociedade. Questiona-se: (i) O que autoriza juízes (não eleitos) a implementar políticas econômicas que são necessariamente premissas para um efetivo gozo dos direitos fundamentais? (ii) Afinal, na prática, tribunais são institucionalmente capazes de lidar com as complexas questões técnicas e políticas que permeiam este tema? Na primeira indagação, discute-se a legitimidade dos juízes; na segunda, são trazidas a lume questões internas sobre a estrutura e a operação dos tribunais. No final, considerando o caso brasileiro, o texto indica as dificuldades de o Supremo Tribunal Federal gerir as incertezas jurídicas da economia, que, por vezes, acarreta maior turbulência social e, simultaneamente, revela a necessidade de uma maior abertura para a inovação e a cooperação entre as organizações sociais do direitoUniversidade Estadual de Londrina2020-03-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos Paresapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/iuris/article/view/3873810.5433/2178-8189.2020v24n1p99Scientia Iuris; v. 24 n. 1 (2020); 99-1232178-81891415-6490reponame:Scientia Iuris (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/iuris/article/view/38738/26948Copyright (c) 2022 Scientia Iurishttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.pt_BRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarros, Marco Antonio Loschiavo Leme de2023-01-26T22:29:51Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/38738Revistahttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/iurisPUBhttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/iuris/oairevistamdireito@uel.br2178-81891415-6490opendoar:2023-01-26T22:29:51Scientia Iuris (Online) - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false
