FGV professor analyzes public administration in advanced democracies

The article Judicial Review of Executive Policymaking in advanced Democracies: Beyond Rights Review by Rio de Janeiro Law School's professor (FGV DIREITO RIO), Eduardo Jordão, was published in the latest edition of the Administrative Law Review - a magazine reference in Administrative Law published in the United States.The work - written together with Professor Susan Rose-Ackerman, Law and Political Science teacher at Yale University - offers an analysis of the judicial control of public administration in four countries: the United States, Canada, France and Italy. The courts of the United States and Canada tend to be more sensitive to the argument that the government has institutional advantages to make decisions of a technical and/or political nature. This ends up creating a more respectful and less interventionist attitude from these courts, when controlling decisions of administrative authorities, said Eduardo Jordão.The article is one of the byproducts of the doctoral thesis that the professor is completing in cooperation with the University of Paris (Panthéon-Sorbonne) and University of Rome (La Sapienza). About the collaboration of Susan Rose-Ackerman, he stated that it has been an enriching experience to participate in the intellectual production process of an experienced and dedicated professor in the international academic world.In BrazilThe American professor has been to Rio de Janeiro Law School in 2013 to attend the 20th edition of the Comparative Law and Economics Forum (CLEF), one of the most important forums to debate law and economics in the world.
