A presente dissertação de mestrado consiste em um estudo de caso das contratações das parcerias público-privadas (PPPs) das Linhas 4 e 6 de metrô em São Paulo. A partir do estudo indutivo realizado, buscou-se compreender como os instrumentos jurídicos são efetivamente utilizados para viabilizar o provimento de uma atividade de interesse público para a população; a evolução institucional ocorrida no processo de aprendizagem de utilização dessas ferramentas; e o papel desempenhado pelas empresas estatais nesse novo cenário. Para tanto, o texto constrói a evolução das formas de concessão de serviços públicos e situa no plano histórico o surgimento e a adoção das PPPs como indicativos de uma nova forma de atuação estatal na economia. O estudo de caso foi elaborado a partir de análise documental e construção de narrativas, por entrevistas semiestruturadas, dos atores envolvidos nos processos de contratação das Linhas 4 e 6. A observação empírica revelou que as empresas estatais cumprem um papel fundamental na criação de arranjos institucionais funcionais para a viabilização dos empreendimentos conjuntos, exercendo uma função coordenação público-privada e promovendo aprendizado institucional. Também observou-se que complexos arranjos contratuais são utilizados como forma de separar as obrigações contratuais de demandas políticas, insulando os direitos do concessionário de alterações posteriores. Isso ficou evidente, especialmente, no tocante à diferenciação entre tarifa política e tarifa contratual, às garantias de pagamento de contraprestação e aporte e ao sistema de pagamentos de tarifas. Os resultados obtidos a longo dessa pesquisa acrescem ao conjunto de estudos que apontam para a inadequação de medidas institucionais de tamanho único para o desenvolvimento (teoria das dotações institucionais). A experiência indica que as PPPs estudadas foram bem-sucedidas justamente porque foram construídas a partir de soluções e arranjos institucionais específicos ao contexto em que estavam inseridas, levando em consideração as limitações e as potencialidades do direito local. Desse modo, a pesquisa conclui pela existência de um modelo brasileiro de PPPs que envolve, necessariamente, intermediação de empresas estatais na construção de arranjos institucionais cooperativos entre os atores públicos e privados. / This thesis is the written product of a case study of São Paulos Metro Lines 4 and 6 public-private partnerships contracts. The objectives of this empirical study were to fully understand how: the legal tools are handled in order to provide a public service to the people; the institutional development in the process of learning the use of these tools; and the role played by state-owned enterprises in this new context. In order to do so, the text builds on the historical evolution of state concessions and the emergence of PPPs as indicators of a new way of State intervention in the economy. The case study was made using documental analysis and the building of narratives, through interviews with the main actors in the processes of contracting out the services of metro. The empirical observation revealed that state-owned enterprises play a significant role in the making of functional institutional arrangements necessary to the existence and function of joint enterprises, working as a coordinator of the public-private relationship and promoting institutional learning. Also, it was noted that complex contractual arrangements are used as a way of detaching contractual obligations from political demands, insulating concessionarys rights from ulterior changes. This was evidenced, specially, by the description of the contractual differentiation of tariffs (political vs contractual), also by the structure of the counterparts warrantees, and by the payment system that was created. The results from this research add to the growing literature that points out the inadequacy of one size fits all institutional changes in order to promote development. The reported experience indicates that the PPP contracts were well succeeded precisely because they were built on context-specific solution and institutional arrangements, that took into account the limitations and potentialities of the local legal system. In this sense, the research shows the existence of a Brazilian model of PPP contracts that involves, necessarily, the intermediation of state-owned enterprises in the formation of cooperative institutional arrangements between public and private actors.

Cette étude montre d’abord que, dans la période actuelle, la notion de redevance pour service rendu fait l’objet d’une profonde évolution : de la simple rémunération du coût du service rendu, la redevance correspond désormais à la rémunération de la valeur économique procurée à certains usagers. Cette évolution lui confère une fonction régulatrice : la redevance n’intègre plus seulement des préoccupations juridico-administratives mais tient compte de préoccupations de marché. Cette étude dégage, par ailleurs, les effets de ce facteur de mutation sur cette catégorie du droit public. A cet égard, il semble que cette dernière ne soit pas engagée dans un processus de dégradation ou de rénovation. Au contraire, elle cherche un équilibre en oscillant à la fois dans le sens d’une dégradation et d’un renouveau.A ce titre, cette catégorie juridique constitue une parfaite illustration des transformations affectant, dans la société contemporaine, tout le droit public et l’État lui-même. En définitive, l’étude des transformations de la notion de redevance amène à une réflexion générale sur la naissance d’un nouveau modèle juridique et politique, c’est-à-dire « à déceler les phénomènes plus généraux qui en sont à l’origine (…); un processus de métamorphose de la société (…) et l’apparition d’un nouveau contrat social (…) Une telle recherche permet de réfléchir à ce que sera l’Etat du XXIe siècle». / This study first shows that, in the current period, the notion of fee for service rendered is subject to a profound evolution : from simple compensation of the cost of the service rendered, the fee now is the compensation value economic procured for some users. This development gives it a regulatory function: the fee not only includes legal and administrative concerns but also takes account of market concerns. This study identifies, in addition, the effects of this mutation factor on this category of pulic law. In this respect, it seems that it isnot engaged in a process of degradation or renovation. Instead, it seeks a balance oscillating at a time in the sense of degradation and renewal.As such, this legal category is a perfect illustration of the transformations affecting, in contemporary society, public law and the state itself. Ultimately, the study of transformations of the notion of fee leads to a general reflection on the birth of a new legal and political model, that is to say «to detect more general phenomena that are at the origin (...); a society's transformation process (...) and the emergence of a new social contract (...) Such research helps to think about what will be the state of the XXIe century ».

Le droit international économique a pour fonction la réglementation des flux économiques internationaux. Ce dernier émane de la volonté déjà ancienne des nations d’instaurer, dans l’économie mondiale, un ensemble de règles à même de structurer leurs rapports. À la faveur de ces dernières les échanges marchands, les investissements, la circulation des capitaux ont donc progressivement étaient des faits, des réalités économiques saisies dans des qualifications juridiques. Or, l’une des difficultés majeures, qui alimente ces controverses, tient à la relation du droit international économique avec d’autres branches du droit, également appelées à structurer juridiquement le marché. Dans la mise en œuvre de sesnormes, le droit international économique est en effet appelé à rentrer en contact avec de nombreuses branches du droit. Il est toutefois remarquable que dans l’ensemble, celles-ci n’occupent pas un rôle comparable. Si certains ensembles de règles apparaissent primordiaux, en vue d’assurer le fonctionnement d’une économique mondialisée, d’autres entretiennent des rapports plus distendus. Pour les besoins de notre recherche, il convient donc de cerner la nature des liens qui existent entre le droit du travail et le droit international économique. Si la connexité de ces deux branches a induit le développement des clauses sociales, elle n’a pas eu pour conséquence, à l’heure actuelle, une réelle modification du droit international économique. À défaut, certaines des caractéristiques irréductibles du droit du travail continuent à limiter la fécondité de leurs rapports. Pour autant, l’existence de cette connexité permet d’envisager, pour l’avenir, un approfondissement des relations entre ces deux branches par des voies jusqu’ici inexploitées. Loin d’être chimérique, l’avènement de synergies nouvelles entre le droit international et le droit du travail apparaît envisageable à la lueur de la réception juridique qu’a connue le concept de développement durable. Une modification profonde des rapports entre ces deux branches du droit se donne déjà à voir et pourrait se poursuivre. L’explication de l’influence déterminante du concept peut être recherchées dans son positionnement au regard des activités économiques transnationales. Ce dernier se projette en effet sur les répercussions et plus uniquement le développement de l’économie. Se faisant, le développement durable se présente comme une voie alternative pour penser et évaluer la croissance. Au regard de l’apport du droit international économique à l’application du droit du travail, ce changement de perspective est déterminant. Il conduit eneffet à voir dans le premier un outil de diffusion du second. Cette relation se déduit en effet de l’interdépendance des piliers qui fondent le concept de développement durable. L’imbrication du pilier social et économique invite à n’envisager la croissance économique qu’à la condition qu’elle puisse, entre autres, satisfaire à une durabilité sociale impliquant le respect du droit du travail. L’existence de cette synergie est d’ailleurs signalée par l’adoption, au nom du développement durable, de nouvelles clauses sociales.Le développement durable augure également l’évolution vers une prise en compte accrue du droit du travail au vu d’une autre de ses particularités, son positionnement dans le champ juridique. Il ressort en effet des propositions de la doctrine autant que d’interprétations issues d’organes contentieux internationaux que le développement durable est susceptible d’assurer un rôle de matrice conceptuelle. À ce titre, il est en capacité et pourrait à l’avenir conduire à interpréter le droit international économique en prenant également en compte le respect du droit du travail précisément au regard de sa contribution à la recherche de durabilité. / The function of international economic law is to regulate international economic flows. The latter stems from the long-standing will of nations to establish, in the global economy, a set of rules capable of structuring their relations. As a result of the latter, trade, investment and capital movements were gradually becoming facts, economic realities captured in legalqualifications. However, one of the major difficulties, which fuels these controversies, lies in the relationship of international economic law with other branches of law, which are also called upon to structure the market legally. In the implementation of its norms, international economic law is indeed called upon to come into contact with many branches of law. However, it is remarkable that, overall, they do not play a comparable role. While some sets of rules appear essential to ensure the functioning of a globalised economy, others maintain more relaxed relations. For the purposes of our research, it is therefore necessary to identify the nature of the links that exist between labour law and international economic law. While the connection of these two branches has led to the development of social clauses, it has not, at present, led to any real change in international economic law. Failing this, some of the irreducible characteristics of labour law continue to limit the fertility of their relationships. For all that, the existence of this connection makes it possible to envisage, for the future, a deepening of relations between these two branches by hitherto unexploited ways. Far from being a pipe dream, the emergence of new synergies between international law and labour law seems conceivable in the light of the legal reception of the concept of sustainable development. A profound change in the relationship between these two branches of law is already apparent and could continue. The explanation of the decisive influence of the concept can be sought in its positioning with regard to transnational economic activities. The latter projects itself on the repercussions and not only on the development of the economy. In doing so, sustainable development presents itself as an alternative way to think and evaluate growth.With regard to the contribution of international economic law to the application of labour law, this change of perspective is decisive. It leads us to see the former as a tool for disseminating the latter. This relationship can be deduced from the interdependence of the pillars that underpin the concept of sustainable development. The interweaving of the social andeconomic pillar calls for economic growth to be considered only on condition that it can, among other things, satisfy social sustainability implying respect for labour law. The existence of this synergy is also indicated by the adoption, in the name of sustainable development, of new social clauses.Sustainable development also augurs well for the evolution towards greater consideration of labour law in view of another of its particularities, its position in the legal field. Indeed, it emerges from the proposals of the doctrine as much as from interpretations coming from international contentious bodies that sustainable development is likely to ensure a role ofconceptual matrix. As such, it is capable and could in the future lead to interpret international economic law by also taking into account the respect of labour law precisely with regard to it contribution to the search for sustainability.

Le régulateur indépendant est une institution éloignée de la tradition juridique que partagent la France et la Colombie. L’adoption de cette institution en Colombie a posé des difficultés qui ont été associées à l’influence du droit français. Or, tant en France qu’en Colombie, l’avènement du régulateur indépendant a été influencé d’une manière déterminante par des sources extra-nationales imprégnées du droit Anglo-saxon : le droit de l’Union européenne et les bailleurs de fonds internationaux, respectivement. Néanmoins, la France a réussi à surmonter les difficultés juridiques posées par cette institution. Ainsi, le dispositif légal français protège adéquatement l’indépendance du régulateur. Cela démontre que le régulateur indépendant n’est pas une institution incompatible avec la culture juridique commune. Pour consolider l’indépendance du régulateur en Colombie, il est pertinent de modérer l’influence d’une autre tradition colombienne: le présidentialisme. / The independent regulator is an institution distant from the legal tradition shared by France and Colombia. The adoption of this institution in Colombia has raised difficulties which were associated with the influence of french law. The advent of the independent regulator has been influenced in France and in Colombia by extra-national sources linked to the Anglo-Saxon legal tradition: the European law ant the international lending funds, respectively. Nevertheless, France has managed to overcome the legal challenges posed by the institution and the French legal system adequately protects the independence of the regulator. This demonstrates that the institution is not incompatible with the common legal culture. To consolidate the independence of the regulator in Colombia it is relevant to analyze the French system and to moderate the influence of another Colombian tradition: presidentialism.

Money is a public good. The regulation of its creation, supply and distribution is of national and international interest. Monetary stability is an important regulatory goal conducted through an interaction of economic, political, religious factors as well as legislative action. The state plays an intermediary role, bridging domestic interests and international interests. Increasing interdependence between national economic systems and international obligations sometimes leads to the manipulation of systems as well as currency wars. Regulation is done through co-operative international action since domestic regulators are no longer sufficiently equipped to do so. Resultantly, there is an emergence of new structural paradigms to deal with it. Meanwhile, states still enjoy certain residual competences of sovereignty. Numerous legal factors act as constraints on sovereignty with far reaching implications on states’ regulatory space. In light of the divergence of regulatory objectives, there is an apparent need to balance municipal with international interests on the regulation of the monetary system. / Mercantile Law / LLM

La liberté d'expression intervient dans différents domaines, et bénéficie de la protection des constitutions nationales ainsi que des conventions internationales. Toutefois, la question se pose de cette protection s'agissant du domaine commercial. La reconnaissance d'un discours commercial constitutionnellement et conventionnellement protégé est le fruit de nombreux revirements de jurisprudence, mais demeure encore contestée par une partie de la doctrine. Consacrer la liberté d'expression commerciale en tant que droit fondamental ne permet dès lors pas uniquement de renforcer sa protection, mais aussi de créer un rapprochement entre les droits fondamentaux et le droit économique. En effet, la nature économique du discours commercial est au coeur des débats dont il est l'objet, et l'amène à être confronté, d'une part aux autres droits et libertés, d'autre part aux droits de la propriété intellectuelle et des nouvelles technologies. La présence de la liberté d'expression commerciale au sein de ces derniers témoigne de la diffusion des droits fondamentaux dans l'ensemble du droit. Enfin, la reconnaissance de cette nouvelle liberté fondamentale, relevant à la fois des droits civils et des droits économiques, met en lumière un renouvellement des typologies de classification des droits fondamentaux. / The freedom of speech takes place in differents domains, and receives protection from the national constitutions and international conventions. However, concerning the commercial domain, the question of its protection may be asked. The recognition of a constitutional and conventional protection of the commercial speech is the result of many turnovers Court, but still remains disputed by some doctrine. To devote the commercial speech as a constitutional right can not only strengthen its protection, but also to create a connection between economy and the consitutional rights. Indeed, the economic nature of the commercial speech is in the middle of the discussions which it is the object, and causes it to be confronted on the one hand with the other constitutional rights, and on the other hand with the right of intellectual property and of new technologies. The presence of the commercial speech in these reflects the spread of the constitutional rights in the whole law. Finally, the recognition of this new constitutional right, under both civil and economic rights, highlights a revitalisation of the classifications' typologies of the constitutional rights.

Este trabalho presta-se a analisar a adequação da execução da política monetária pelos Bancos Centrais, com enfoque especial dado ao Banco Central do Brasil e ao arcabouço normativo atualmente em vigor sobre a matéria. A necessidade de desenvolver este tema sobreveio da verificação, especialmente nas duas últimas décadas, de um distanciamento dos Bancos Centrais em relação às orientações do Poder Executivo. O regime de metas inflacionárias, tido como o ideal para orientar a atuação dos Bancos Centrais e assegurar a estabilidade da moeda foi assumido como o objetivo-fim da política monetária, em detrimento das previsões constitucionais acerca da promoção do desenvolvimento equilibrado do País, da busca do pleno emprego e da redução das desigualdades sociais. Para a análise desenvolvida, partiu-se do método histórico, por meio do qual foi possível verificar, a partir do Século XIX até o presente, de que forma os Bancos Centrais surgiram e galgaram posições de relevo enquanto agentes do Estado orientados a intervir na economia para fins de promoção social, especialmente a partir do surgimento e consolidação do Direito Econômico como ciência jurídica legitimadora da intervenção estatal. Em seguida, buscou-se explorar as funções dos Bancos Centrais, os instrumentos dos quais dispõem para o exercício da política monetária e a adequação dos objetivos dessa política no contexto da política econômica desenvolvida pelo Estado. Por fim, passou-se à análise do Banco Central do Brasil no que concerne a evolução da execução da política monetária, paralelamente às conquistas sociais e políticas do país, com especial destaque para as décadas de 1960 e 1990. / This work is to examine the appropriateness of implementing monetary policy by central banks, with particular emphasis given to the Central Bank of Brazil and the regulatory framework currently in force on the matter. The need to develop this theme came to check, especially in the last two decades, from a distance of central banks in relation to Executive guidelines. Inflation targeting system, seen as the ideal to drive central banks actions and ensure currency stability was adopted as the end goal of monetary policy at the expense of constitutional statements upon balanced development of the country, in pursuit of comprehensive employment and the reduction of social inequalities. For the developed analysis, historical method has been adopted which enabled the understanding from the nineteenth century until present days upon how Central Banks emerged and have risen to prominent positions as agents of the Stated driven to intervene in economy for social advancement, especially since the emergence and consolidation of Economic Law and legal science legitimating state intervention. Then Central Banks central banks functions were explored, theirs tools for monetary policy undertaking and the adequacy of such objectives in the context of economic policy developed by the state. Finally, we have assessed Brazil Central Bank in regards of monetary policy implementation development, along with social and political local achievements, with particular emphasis to the 60s and 90s.

The main objective of this study was to discuss the tools provided by law for the defense of competition, and others adopted by the Brazilian antitrust authority, investigating to what extent are agreed ways to protect competition. Moreover, during the study, it was aimed to identify some questions generated by the adoption of instruments such as its assumptions for adoption, the legal thresholds, intervention of third parties, scope of its provisions, identifying, even if the set of clauses was consensual. The scope of the terms of the instruments raised the analysis of the application of several principles, identifying whether there is violation of the principle of legality in the name of economic efficiency. The study noted the division adopted by the Law of Protection of Competition, in the control of structures and conducts. In the control of structures, it was discussed the Incidental Measure, the Agreement of Reversibility Preservation of Operation - APRO and Term of Commitment to Performance - TCD. On the conducts, were analyzed the Preventive Measure, the Term of Commitment Termination - TCC, and in particular the behavior of cartels and the Leniency Agreement. The research conducted examined the legal instruments concluded between economic agents and CADE from 1994 to 2008, to the analysis of its provisions, we follow the development of instruments over time and the measures adopted in cases analyzed by the Brazilian System of Protection of Competition, considering the different nature of each instrument. Moreover, the study contributed to the debate on the issue of efficiency in the procedural arrangements for protection of competition, under Brazilian antitrust law / O trabalho versa sobre os instrumentos jurídicos utilizados pelos agentes econômicos e a autoridade de defesa da concorrência no Brasil. O objetivo principal do trabalho foi o de discorrer sobre os instrumentos previstos na lei de defesa da concorrência, bem como outros adotados pela autoridade antitruste brasileira, investigando até que ponto são formas acordadas para proteção à concorrência. Além disso, no decorrer do trabalho buscou-se identificar algumas questões geradas pela adoção desses instrumentos, tais como seus pressupostos para a celebração, a natureza jurídica, intervenção de terceiros, alcance de suas cláusulas, identificando, ainda, se o ajuste das cláusulas seria consensual. O alcance das cláusulas dos instrumentos suscitou a análise da aplicação de vários princípios, identificando se haveria violação ao princípio da legalidade em nome da eficiência econômica. O estudo observou a divisão adotada pela lei de defesa da concorrência, o de controle de estruturas e condutas. No controle de estruturas, discorremos sobre a Medida Cautelar, o Acordo de Preservação de Reversibilidade da Operação - APRO e o Termo de Compromisso de Desempenho - TCD. No controle de condutas, foram analisados a Medida Preventiva, o Termo de Compromisso de Cessação - TCC e, em especial, na conduta de cartel, foi abordado o Acordo de Leniência. A pesquisa realizada examinou os instrumentos jurídicos firmados entre os agentes econômicos e o CADE de 1994 a 2008, para que, da análise de suas cláusulas, pudéssemos acompanhar a evolução dos instrumentos ao longo do tempo e as respectivas medidas adotadas nos processos em trâmite no Sistema Brasileiro de Defesa da Concorrência, considerando a natureza distinta de cada instrumento. Além disso, o estudo contribuiu para o debate sobre a questão da eficiência nos acordos processuais para proteção à concorrência, conforme a lei antitruste brasileira

O objetivo deste trabalho é examinar o seguro de riscos de engenharia como instrumento para o desenvolvimento. A perspectiva adotada é a da articulação entre direito e economia política: parte-se da ideia de que as categorias jurídicas instauram determinada economia política. Nesse sentido, os contratos de seguro serão entendidos de forma indissociada das operações comunitárias em que se encerram e de sua especial tarefa de reorganização social e econômica. A função social dos contratos de seguro é revelada como conteúdo obrigatório da própria autonomia da vontade atinente a esses contratos. A relação entre seguro e desenvolvimento é ainda mais evidente nos seguros de risco de engenharia, objeto específico deste trabalho. Institucionalizada desde a década de 1930, a função desenvolvimentista desses seguros tem seu declínio a partir dos anos 1970 com nítida agravação no ano de 2007, quando ocorre a abertura do mercado brasileiro de resseguro. Defende-se a tese de que a legislação brasileira sobre seguro de risco de engenharia é inadequada, atuando de forma impeditiva do desenvolvimento nacional. A principal razão para isso está na perda paulatina de conteúdo desses seguros, em parte promovida pelo próprio Estado, capturado pelos interesses dos empresários do setor. A tentativa de anulação da teoria do interesse consagrada não só na longeva praxe dos seguros, como pela doutrina nacional e estrangeira e plasmada no art. 757 do Código Civil, é um dos principais argumentos explorados. Por fim, são apresentados dispositivos do Projeto de Lei do Senado n. 477/2013, que procura trazer para o sistema de direito positivo a primeira lei de contrato de seguro da história brasileira, com o objetivo de reordenar as relações contratuais, eliminando as principais práticas desfuncionalizadoras e em busca dos escopos fixados na Constituição de 1988. / The aim of this study is to examine engineering risk insurance as an instrument of development. The perspective adopted here is an articulation between Law and Political Economy, beginning with the idea that legal categories determine political economy. In this sense, insurance contracts are construed as non-dissociated from the community operations to which they belong and from their special task of social and economic reorganization. The social function of insurance contracts is seen as an inexorable part of the autonomous will involved in such contracts. The relationship between insurance and development is even more evident in engineering risk insurance, which is the specific object of this study. Having been institutionalized since the 1930s, the developmental function of this type insurance began to decline in the mid-1980s, and clearly worsened in 2007, when the Brazilian reinsurance market was opened. We propose that the Brazilian legislation on engineering risk insurance is inadequate and acts as an impediment to national development. The main reason for this is the gradual loss of content in this type of insurance, in part promoted by the State itself, captive to the interests of industry executives. The attempt to nullify the theory of interest well established not only in longstanding insurance practice, but also in national and international tenets, and shaped by Article 757 of the Brazilian Civil Code is one of the main arguments explored here. Finally, we present some provisions of Senate Bill no. 477/2013 that seeks to incorporate into the system of positive law Brazils first law of insurance contract, the aim of which is to reorder contractual relations by eliminating the major defunctionalizing practices, in keeping with the intentions of the 1988 Constitution.

A partir do início do século XXI, a nanociência e a nanotecnologia passaram a fazer parte de políticas de desenvolvimento por parte de Estados nacionais, principalmente os países do centro do sistema capitalista. As potencialidades trazidas pelas possíveis aplicações científicas e industriais da escala nano orientaram seu desenvolvimento em duas frentes: uma dedicada às aplicações e adaptações no ambiente econômico e outra interessada na análise dos impactos sociais de seu uso. Neste contexto, o trabalho inicia-se identificando os conceitos em disputa para a formação de sua ordem jurídica. Em seguida, identifica as principais questões sociais e econômicas relacionadas ao desenvolvimento das estratégias nacionais de nanotecnologia, analisando as políticas de desenvolvimento americana e japonesa para, posteriormente, estudar a política brasileira de nanotecnologia. O contorno teórico do tema baseia-se, do ponto de vista econômico, nas obras de Joseph A. Schumpeter e Celso Furtado e, do ponto de vista do direito, pela aplicação do direito econômico como método capaz de apreender a economia política inserida na forma jurídica. Assim, a análise da política brasileira é feita a fim de identificar as possibilidades de superação do desafio furtadiano, com vistas à autonomia tecnológica e homogeneização social. / From the beginning of the 21st century, nanoscience and nanotechnology have become part of nations development policies, particularly from countries in the center of the capitalist system. The potential brought by possible scientific and industrial applications of the nanoscale guided its development towards two fronts: one dedicated to applications and adaptations in the economic environment and the other interested in the analysis of the social impacts of its use. In this context, this work begins by identifying the concepts in dispute in order to form its legal system. Then, it identifies the social and economic key issues related to the development of nanotechnology national strategies, analyzing the development policies from USA and Japan, to, subsequently, study the Brazilian nanotechnology policy. From the economical standpoint, the theoretical outline of the subject is based on the theories of Joseph A. Schumpeter and Celso Furtado and then, from the standpoint of law, it is based on the application of economic law as a method capable of understanding the political economy embedded in the legal form. Thus, the analysis of Brazilian politics is done in order to identify the possibilities to overcome Furtados challenge, aiming at technological autonomy and social homogenization.
