[en] THE JUDICIALIZATION OF MEGAPOLITCS IN BRAZIL: THE PROTAGONIST ROLE OF THE BRAZILIAN SUPREME COURT IN THE IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT ROUSSEFF / [pt] A JUDICIALIZAÇÃO DA MEGAPOLÍTICA NO BRASIL: O PROTAGONISMO DO STF NO IMPEACHMENT DA PRESIDENTE DILMA ROUSSEFF

[pt] O Brasil passou, em 2016, por um processo de ruptura institucional. Esta dissertação examina o papel desempenhado pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal no processo que culminou com o impeachment da ex-presidente Dilma Rousseff à luz do conceito de Judicialização da Megapolítica, do cientista político Ran Hirschl. Através da análise das decisões do STF e do contexto político em que elas foram tomadas, busco demonstrar que esta corte adotou uma postura ativista que foi decisiva para a queda da ex-presidente. Esta postura ativista do STF contou com o apoio das elites políticas, econômicas e sociais nacionais, dado que abria caminho para viabilizar, de forma encoberta, uma agenda política que fora seguidamente derrotada ao se apresentar mais abertamente nas disputas eleitorais nacionais. Tal desfecho sugere que as leituras positivas do fenômeno da judicialização da política na literatura nacional - no período em que ele se associava à expansão de direitos nos marcos da democratização do país - podem ter subestimado os riscos que esse processo representava para o próprio regime democrático ao se deslocar para temas da megapolítica. / [en] Brazil faced a major institutional rupture in 2016. This dissertation examines the role played by the Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) in the process that led to the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff, based on Ran Hirschl s concept of the Judicialization of Megapolitics. I discuss the Court s decisions and the political context in which they were taken. Based on these, I argue that STF s activist stance had a decisive influence on the President s dismissal from office. The Court s activist stance had the support of Brazil s political, economic and social elites, who saw in it an opportunity to forward, in a hidden fashion, a political agenda that had faced successive defeats in the more open terrain of national elections. This outcome suggests that the more favorable initial interpretations of the Judicialization of Politics in Brazilian Social Sciences literature (when the phenomenon was generally associated to the expansion of citizen rights in the context of democratization) might have underestimated the risks it entails for democratic regimes when it penetrates the realm of Megapolitics.
