Utilização persuasiva da jurisprudência estrangeira pelos Tribunais constitucionais

Abstract

This study aims to address the use of foreign law by national courts, with views to the persuasion of the interlocutors of the constitutional debate. The cientifical investigation is geared to establish the assumptions of the persuasive activity of constitutional justice in order to assert its possibility, without, however, fail to impose limits. Indeed, the work focuses on the area of concentration of the judicial review in contemporary legal systems and, more particularly, in the line of research on the globalization of the constitutional decision-making process.
