Resumo
Este artigo discute a viabilidade teórica do conceito de constitucionalismo iliberal. Indo além da pergunta sobre se ele seria um oxímoro, demonstra-se que, ao assumir uma abordagem duplamente normativa e empírica, não é só possível, mas necessário, classificar regimes políticos que se situam entre a democracia e o puro autoritarismo como regimes de constitucionalismo iliberal. Por meio de verificações bibliográfica, comparada e de políticas iliberais concretas, destaca-se que o ponto central do constitucionalismo iliberal é a subversão de instituições jurídicas liberais contra elas mesmas e em prol de fins políticos específicos.
Palavras-chave: Constitucionalismo iliberal; Erosão da democracia; Bolsonarismo.
Abstract
This article debates the theoretical feasibility of the concept of iliberal constitutionalism. Going beyond the question of if it is only an oxymoron, it is demonstrated that, when claiming an approach that is both normative and empirical, it is not only possible, but necessary, to classify political regimes that are situated between democracy and puro authoritarianism as regimes of iliberal constitutionalism. Through bibliographic, comparative and illiberal concrete politics investigations, the article emphasizes that the main feature of iliberal constitutionalism is the subversion of liberal legal institutions against themselves and on behalf of specific political aims.
Keywords: Illiberal constitutionalism; Democratic erosion; Bolsonarism.
