Esta dissertação defende a função das Agências Reguladoras na busca dos Direitos Fundamentais - especificamente os sociais ou prestacionais - de forma difusa e concentrada. Estas agências se fundamentam nas funções constitucionais do Estado e possuem como instrumentos de efetivação de controle os Processos Administrativos Punitivos, os Termos de Ajustamento de Condutas, as Ouvidorias e as Audiências Públicas.

Como estudo de caso foram analisados os Processos Administrativos Punitivos de uma Concessionária de Energia Elétrica para verificar o papel das Autarquias Especiais e seus instrumentos de concretização de Direitos Humanos, sob o pálio de um novo Direito Administrativo que autoriza o gestor a atuar em um espaço público dúctil / This dissertation defends the act of the Regulatory Agencies to achieve social or prestational fundamental rights in a diffuse and concentrated way.
