Introduction to special issue: practising activist socio-legal scholarship: navigating tensions and crafting approaches
(2025) Assis, Mariana Prandini Fraga; Canfield, Matthew
The question of how to pursue politically relevant and engaged scholarship has been an ongoing theme within socio-legal scholarship. In the United States of America, Presidential Addresses of the Law and Society Association have consistently urged greater political engagement (Lempert 2001; Seron 2016; Scheppele 2023). In the United Kingdom, journals such as Social & Legal Studies have placed critical and engaged scholarship at the core of their mission (Editorial 1992; Editorial 1998). In the Majority World1 – where the socio-legal field is less institutionalised – scholars have often been more directly involved in political action, re-imagining colonial law and using it as a tool for social change (Shivji 2018; Sieder, Ansolabehere and Alfonso Sierra 2019). These scholars have not only inspired calls for activist scholarship in the Minority World (Munger 2001) but have also unsettled the very dichotomy between scholarship and activism (D’Souza 2009)
Investigación militante: thinking-doing-living law and society in troubleties times
(2025) Assis, Mariana Prandini Fraga; Eslava, Luis
Law is both shaped by and a vehicle for hierarchically structured dichotomies that fragment life, thought and action – most enduringly the split between scholarship and activism. This article revisits investigación militante, a Latin American and Caribbean tradition that rejects the separation between theory and practice, and between academic inquiry and political struggle. Through the work of Orlando Fals Borda, Lélia Gonzalez and Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui, we explore how investigación militante offers a distinctive onto-epistemological and ethical orientation for law and society research. Concepts such as senti-pensar, amefricanidade and ch’ixi open up approaches to law as a terrain for co-producing alternative normativities. We identify three core commitments – methodological, political and ethical – that distinguish investigación militante from adjacent approaches such as movement lawyering, offering critical resources for re-imagining law and society praxis amid intersecting planetary crises.
De “droga do século XXI” a “abortivo vendido ilegalmente”: a vida midiática do misoprostol no Brasil
(2025) Assis, Mariana Prandini Fraga; Santos, Rayani Mariano dos
Since its arrival in Brazil in the mid-1980s, misoprostol (Cytotec®) has had a complex social life. Originally developed for the treatment of gastric ulcers, the drug has become widely used to induce abortions. This paper analyzes 203 articles published between 1980 and 2019 in the newspapers Folha de São Paulo, O Estado de São Paulo, and O Globo, which document part of this trajectory. We find that, despite the growing body of scientific evidence attesting to its central role in reproductive health, as well as its safety and efficacy, the drug has often been portrayed as dangerous and illegal. This media framing has reinforced the stigma and criminalization of misoprostol in Brazil, denying women and other pregnant people the right to access an essential medicine and a reproductive technology whose appropriation and redefinition have largely been led by them.
Entre política, mídia e saúde: a mediação da politização da pandemia de covid-19 pelo Jornal Nacional e Jornal da Record
(2025) Mundim, Pedro Santos; Oliveira, Isabella Amaral de
From the outset, the COVID-19 pandemic has been a public health and political issue, impacting population attitudes and behaviors. In Brazil, its politicization by former President Bolsonaro exacerbated this dynamic, influencing both information consumption and individual actions regarding the disease. This study analyzes the mediation of media exposure, highlighting the role of the country’s main television news programs, Jornal Nacional and Jornal da Record, in shaping perceptions and behaviors towards COVID-19. The results indicate that part of the political influence on the pandemic was mediated by exposure to the newscasts, underscoring the need for a comprehensive understanding of the interactions between health, politics, and media.
Do “Estatuto das Famílias” ao “Estatuto da Família”: o avanço do conservadorismo na Câmara dos Deputados entre 2007 e 2018
(2025) Santos, Rayani Mariano dos
The recent Brazilian political context has been marked by an intensification of conservatism and an appeal to family values. Two bills discussed in the Chamber of Deputies are representative of this situation: Bill No. 674 of 2007, which dealt with divorce but had bills appended to it, one of which, which became the main bill, sought to establish a Family Statute (Bill No. 2,285 of 2007); and Bill No. 6,583 of 2013, which sought to restrict the definition of family to heterosexual couples or to one parent and their descendants. This article discusses the debate surrounding these bills, presenting the main positions, controversies, and arguments mobilized. Shorthand notes from committee meetings, 97 speeches given in plenary sessions, and documents related to the bills were analyzed.
O internacionalismo em Chico Mendes
(2026) Silveira, Mariana Balau; Lopes, Rafael Bittencourt Rodrigues
The article analysesthe political trajectory of Chico Mendes,intending to expandthe concept of internationalism in International Relations. Drawing on a critical review of classical approaches to internationalism, the study proposes shifting the analytical focus toward territorialisedpolitical practices rooted in subaltern ways of life. Based on bibliographic research and documentary analysis of speeches and records of the rubber tappers’ movement, it argues that the “empates” and the Alliance of the Peoples of the Forest constitute forms of articulation that challenge the domestic–international dichotomy and broaden the scope of the political beyond the state sphere. It maintains that internationalism in Mendes emerges from the convergence of ecology, labour, and territory, articulating local, national, and international networks in defenceof common goods and the reproduction of life. By engaging with decolonial and pluriversal perspectives, the article demonstrates that the Amazonian experience not only connects toglobal agendas but also produces its own grammar of counter-hegemonic internationalism, grounded in solidarity among forest peoples and in the politicisationof nature as a collective subject. It concludes that incorporating this experience into the debate in International Relations contributes to an epistemological reconfiguration of the fieldby recognising historically marginalisedpractices and forms of knowledge as constitutive of the “international.”
Are rights enough? Paid care work, embodied inequalities and domestic workers' fight for justice in Brazil and India
(2026) Assis, Mariana Prandini Fraga; Shabnam, Shaoni
Domestic workers, a labour sector overwhelmingly constituted by women from racially and caste-minoritized groups, sustain middle- and upper-class households yet remain among the least protected workers. Comparing Brazil and India, this article explains why legal recognition alone fails to transform their labour conditions. Brazil has ratified ILO Convention 189 and extended near-parity labour rights; India’s protections remain fragmented. Despite these differences, we show that in both settings relationships within private households reproduce embodied hierarchies that mark domestic tasks as ‘dirty work’ and position workers’ bodies as naturally available and surveyable. Drawing on an analysis of legal and policy texts and a critical review of ethnographic and historical studies, we argue that domestic workers’ rights gains are filtered through the household’s normative order, that is an intimate, status-based regime that routinely displaces contract – the ‘law of household workplace’. We develop a three-part critique of the limits of rights: a translation gap (household opacity and ‘like-family’ tropes undercut enforcement), a scalar mismatch (statutes govern dyads while valuation regimes are societal), and a value lock-in (dirty-work coding depresses workers’ wages and voice regardless of formal parity). Rights matter for recognition, mobilization, and baseline protections, but they do not, on their own, revalue domestic work. We conclude by outlining a programme that couples rights with institutional ‘non-reformist reforms’ that revalue domestic work, resite care beyond private live-in dependency, and revoice workers through institutions capable of reaching inside or bypassing the household.
The implications of the European Green Deal stemming from the REPowerEU plan for Brazil–European Union relations in the sustainable fuels sector (2019–2024)
(2025) Estevo, Jefferson dos Santos; Rodrigues, Giovana Moreira; Thomaz, Lais Forti
This article examines the implications of the European Green Deal and the REPowerEUprogram on Brazil-European Union bilateral relations in the sustainable fuels sector from 2019 to 2024. The research is based on the global relevance of the environmental agenda, Brazil’s strategicrole as a bioenergy supplier, and the EU’s position as a leader in the pursuit of energy transition andgreenhouse gas emission reduction targets. The adopted methodology combines a literature reviewand documentary analysis, thus enabling the mapping of European and Brazilian policies, as well as an assessment of their impacts on Brazilian exports. Among the findings, the strengthening of Brazil-EU relations stands out, particularly in the development of Sustainable Aviation Fuels and greenhydrogen, driven by regulations and incentives on both sides. However, first-generation biofuels faceregulatory challenges, which limit their access to the European market. This study aims to contributeto a deeper understanding of energy transition dynamics and their effects on international relations.Keywords: Brazil; European Union; sustainable fuels; climate policies; energy transition
Whispers of genocide: racist and colonial legal practices of the Brazilian dictatorship towards indigenous peoples
(2025) Roriz, João Henrique Ribeiro; Nagamine, Renata Reverendo Vidal Kawano
Towards the end of the 1960s, as accusations of genocide against Brazil appeared in several national and international newspapers, a sense of growing unrest crept into the military dictatorship. In 1968, the United Nations organised the First International Conference on Human Rights in Tehran. The dictatorship’s legal argumentation was based on an assimilationist orientation directed at ‘civilizing’ the Indigenous population and ignoring genocide allegations. The military regime intertwined a tradition of civilising mission with an authoritarian ideology of national unity to produce racist and colonial legal practices towards Indigenous peoples in Brazil. Reports of genocide caused quite a stir among activists and academics, but the Tehran episode also illustrates how events unfolding in international arenas such as the Conference did not substantially vex the Brazilian dictatorship. Exactly seven months after the meeting, the regime passed the Institutional Act 5, which inaugurated the most repressive years of its history. To subsidise such points, we review documents found in the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
La polarización ideológica en América Latina y sus efectos sobre representación política y cualidad democrática
(2025) Nascimento, João Paulo Dellasta do; Camargos, João Cardoso Lara; Botelho, João Carlos Amoroso
La intensificación de las disputas políticas en diferentesregiones del mundo ha reavivado el debate sobrela polarización. El artículo mide la polarización ideológica en 18 países de América Latina y Caribe, utilizando la auto ubicación de legisladores, y avanza con relación a la medida de Dalton (2008), que se adopta como referencia en la literatura . De los cinco países con el promedio más alto de polarización en el período de análisis (El Salvador, Uruguay, Honduras, Bolivia y Nicaragua), la democracia no se ha tornadoinestable solo en Uruguay. Además,el artículoelabora un indicador de congruencia ideológica entre élites políticas y población y verifica, por medio de modelos jerárquicos, quela polarización tiene efecto negativo sobre representación política y calidad democrática y no afecta la satisfacción con la democracia . Los hallazgos contraríanel entendimiento de parte de la literatura de que la polarización ideológica puede ser positiva, al aumentar la oferta de opciones políticas.
La militarización de la política democrática en América Latina y sus efectos sobre la calidad del régimen
(2025) Arciniegas Carreño, Alexander; Gonzalez Tule, Luis Antonio; Botelho, João Carlos Amoroso
La militarización de la política democrática es la concesión, por gobernantes electos democráticamente, de poder y tareas al personal militar en diferentes áreas. Ello excede la seguridad pública, pues en Brasil, Colombia y México abarca sectores que van desde el medioambiente hasta la salud. Se trata de una situación que no se asocia a una ideología, ya que ha tenido lugar en Gobiernos de distintas orientaciones políticas. En el artículo se evalúan los efectos de este proceso sobre la calidad de la democracia en gestiones iniciadas o concluidas a partir de 2020 en los tres países mencionados. Con base en la propuesta metodológica del entendimiento, planteada por Leonardo Morlino, y desde una perspectiva comparada, se presentan evidencias sobre los efectos de la militarización de la política democrática en el estado de derecho, en la accountability interinstitucional, en la libertad y en la responsividad. Además, se ahonda en la impunidad hacia crímenes cometidos por los militares en la seguridad pública, en la pérdida de control civil sobre las Fuerzas Armadas, en la falta de preparación del personal militar para encargarse de áreas en las que no tienen formación y en las violaciones a las libertades civiles de las poblaciones vulnerables. En distintos grados, esos hechos pueden ser observados en algunos o en los tres casos estudiados.
El voto por el MAS en las elecciones presidenciales de Bolivia (2002-2020)
(2025) Cunha Filho, Clayton Mendonça; Botelho, João Carlos Amoroso; Silva, Robert Bonifácio da; Aquino, Jakson Alves de
El sistema partidista en la Bolivia posdemocratización fue sacudido por el MAS, que se originó de organizaciones indígenas y rurales y se tornó hegemónico bajo el liderazgo de Evo Morales. El artículo analiza el apoyo al MAS en cinco elecciones presidenciales (2002, 2005, 2009, 2014 y 2020) y constata que autoidentificación como aymara o quechua y residencia en el altiplano o los valles centrales son, separadamente y de manera combinada, predictores del voto en los candidatos presidenciales del partido. De los cinco pueblos indígenas analizados (aymaras, quechuas, guaraníes, mojeños y chiquitanos), los individuos del primer pueblo son los más propensos a votar por el MAS. El apoyo a la democracia y la satisfacción con el régimen también son mayores entre aymaras y quechuas, lo que muestra que la movilización indígena tiene efecto positivo sobre la democracia en Bolivia.
Thinking of algorithms as institutions: a route to democratic digital governance

The institutional design of data governance in Brazil: entropy, restrictiveness and institutional grammar
(2025) Filgueiras, Fernando de Barros; Lui, Lizandro; Rosa, Thayná Gomes; Ferreira, Gabriela Candido
This article analyzes the institutional grammar of data governance in Brazilian municipalities, focusing on the institutional designs that develop in local governments from emerging institutions. The article mapped 27 Brazilian municipalities with more than 500,000 inhabitants that regulated their strategies for implementing the rules included in the General Data Protection Law (LGPD). Using the Institutional Grammar Tool methodology, crossed with restrictiveness and entropy metrics, we analyzed the institutional statements in municipal decrees that define the strategy for implementing governance and data protection in Brazil. Based on the data analyzed, the article concludes that the result of LGPD implementation strategies is to produce institutional diversity that brings new risks to digital transformation projects in governments. The conclusion is that local government organizations tend to produce more restrictive governance solutions, with the potential to create barriers to innovation due to the entropy of regulated objects and stakeholders.
Big data, inteligência artificial e o futuro das ferramentas de políticas públicas
(2025) Filgueiras, Fernando de Barros
This article analyzes the role that big data and artificial intelligence play as meta-tools of public policy. The emergence of big data and artificial intelligence technologies has changed the dynamics of designing and choosing public policy tools, which in turn has altered the institutional dynamics of the public policy process. The article is based on an essay that aims to compose a future scenario of public policy tools and the changing institutional dynamics through which governments design and implement policies. Finally, the essay points out the emerging challenges of public policy governance using big data and artificial intelligence, highlighting data governance and the governance requirements of artificial intelligence as central themes for contemporary governments.
Mudanças sociais, instrumentos digitais de ação pública e reengenharia sociotécnica do Estado
(2025) Filgueiras, Fernando de Barros
In this essay, we discuss how the adoption of algorithmic governance means a reformulation of public administration reform patterns. We base this essay on the idea that the increasing use of digital instruments in public administration means a silent and technical pattern of sociotechnical reengineering of the State. We then discuss the implications of this silent administrative reform and analyze the possibilities and challenges that sociotechnical reengineering of the State brings to public management and the institutional frameworks necessary for the constitution of public management instruments.
Algoritmos, desidentificação e infrapolítica da resistência
(2025) Mendonça, Ricardo Fabrino; Filgueiras, Fernando de Barros; Almeida, Virgilio Augusto Fernandes
Algorithms can be seen as a new type of institution in contemporary societies, configuring power relations and rules that guide contexts of human agency. Based on Jaques Rancière’s concept of disidentification and James Scott’s infrapolitics, this article explores the possibilities of everyday resistance to the power of algorithms. The article reconstructs elements of interaction between humans and computational systems and the way in which algorithms represent a set of rules that shape different elements of human agency. Thus, forms of resistance to the power of algorithms emerge as central elements of politics in the digital world. The article examines three forms of resistance through repertoires of emerging social practices: anonymization, deception and the confrontation of sensors and disidentification of bodies. Based on these three types of infrapolitical resistance, the article theorizes about the politics of algorithms and how humans play with algorithms in different everyday situations.
Cambios sociales y reingeniería sociotécnica del Estado
(2025) Filgueiras, Fernando de Barros
En este artículo de investigación discutimos cómo la adopción de la gobernanza algorítmica significa una reformulación de los estándares de reforma de la administración pública. Basamos este ensayo en la idea de que el uso creciente de instrumentos digitales en la administración pública significa un patrón silencioso y técnico de reingeniería sociotécnica del Estado. Luego, discutimos las implicaciones de esta reforma administrativa silenciosa y analizamos las posibilidades y los desafíos que la reingeniería sociotécnica del Estado trae a la gestión pública y los marcos institucionales necesarios para la constitución de la instrumentación de la gestión pública.
Inteligência artificial e democracia: humanos, máquinas e instituições algorítmicas
(2025) Filgueiras, Fernando de Barros; Mendonça, Ricardo Fabrino; Almeida, Virgilio Augusto Fernandes
This article deals with changes in the dynamics of democratic regimes due to the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Democratic theory has advanced in the epistemology of politics considering the advances of individual and collective intelligence, understanding how actors and social movements tension and produce forms of coexistence within democracies. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence means a complexification of democratic dynamics since it grounds an epistemology of politics based on its mutuality with individual and collective intelligence. The coexistence of these three forms of intelligence provides new challenges for democratic theory in the context of the interaction between humans and machines. We conclude by observing how democratic solutions have been created to face the social dilemmas that emerge with Artificial Intelligence.
A gramática institucional da proteção de dados e da privacidade no Brasil
(2025) Filgueiras, Fernando de Barros; Lui, Lizandro; Veloso, Maria Tereza Trindade
This article investigates the institutional grammar of data protection and privacy in Brazil. By adopting the analytical lens of the Institutional Grammar Tool (IGT), it deconstructs the institutional statements within the regulatory decrees of the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) in Brazilian states, classifying the different grammatical elements that inform state-level strategies for data protection and governance. It examines how the concepts of data protection, data governance, and privacy are formulated, as well as the institutional construction of data protection in Brazil. By taking an empirical approach, it aims to address the following questions: What is the institutional design of the strategies adopted by Brazilian states, within the federation, to protect personal data and citizens’ privacy? What are the implications of this design on how effective data protection is in Brazil? The article concludes that the data protection strategies formulated by the states lean more toward bureaucratic control of data processing than the actual realization of emerging citizenship rights.
