DIREITO PÚBLICO COMPARADO: OBJETO, CARACTERÍSTICAS E FINALIDADES NA DEFINIÇÃO DA AUTONOMIA DO CAMPO - DOI: 10.12818/P.0304-2340.2023v83p93

Abstract

This work is based on the premise that the practice of comparative law will only be able to reach sophisticated levels of investigation once the theory of legal comparison is minimally established in Brazilian academia. In this sense, comparative research in public law needs a more rigorous theoretical study. To contribute to this, this research questions whether there is, in fact, an autonomy of comparative public law within comparative legal studies. To achieve this objective, employing a descriptive and analytical methodological approach and a hypothetical-deductive approach aims to determine whether the field possesses its object, characteristics, and objectives. After this first step, the aim is to demonstrate how the definition of each of these elements contributes to a better production of legal knowledge.
