On October 8, Fundação Getulio Vargas’ Rio de Janeiro Law School will hold a talk to present its Master’s in Regulatory Law, the only course in Brazil to focus on this area. The event will feature the course’s coordinator, Professor Fernando Leal. It will be broadcast live as of 7 pm. The goal is to show the program in detail and answer questions from potential applicants for 2021 course.

As well as discussing recent transformations in the administrative state, the course also looks at topics related to the design, implementation and monitoring of public policies; infrastructure sector development; the definition and implementation, through regulation, of important constitutional objectives, such as free enterprise, defense of competition, sustainability and efficiency; the regulation of new technologies; and knowledge and analysis of interactions between state and non-state regulatory mechanisms, including those involving global governance and international regulatory initiatives.

The master’s course invests in current and in-depth knowledge of topics directly or indirectly related to regulation. It examines successful regulatory experiences in Brazil and abroad in order to stimulate analytical, critical and purposeful reasoning to identify, prevent and solve problems in the area, through multidisciplinary perspectives and methodological training.

The Regulatory Law Graduate Program, which encompasses master’s and doctoral courses in this area, has the educational commitment of permanently investing in the development of students’ capacity for critical reflection, encouraging them to question, argue, present knowledge, defend their own ideas and justify proposals theoretically and empirically, regarding various issues related to the phenomenon of regulation.
