Uma caracteristica fundamental deste ambiente e o papel da Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil (OAB) como membro de um grupo muito restrito de atores que tem permissao constitucional para provocar o Supremo Tribunal Federal brasileiro e iniciar a revisao judicial abstrata. Embora outros atores, como as Unioes Sindicais de ambito nacional e/ou partidos politicos, tenham o dever de justificar a existencia de um nexo formal entre a sua natureza e a questao politica objeto de disputa (pertinencia tematica, em termos tecnicos), a OAB tem a prerrogativa constitucional para propor as acoes constitucionais sobre qualquer tema de disputa politica. Entao, qual e a relevancia das acoes constitucionais da Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil no cenario da judicializacao da politica? Esta pesquisa pretende responder a esta pergunta atraves da analise de um grande banco de dados sobre as acoes diretas de inconstitucionalidade (ADI) e da busca de evidencias empiricas sobre o papel desempenhado pela OAB na arena politica da revisao judicial.Palavras-chave: Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil.

Our three first Summer Schools, held in February 2010, 2011 and 2012, brought together students from 10, 16 and 15 different countries, respectively. One-fifth of the students were current faculty members, and half were doctoral students. In the 2012 season, the School received 133 students.Institutional Partners:The Summer School is a partnership between the International Political Science Association
