Journal of Administrative Law and Infrastructure
Synopsis
The Journal of Administrative Law and Infrastructure – RDAI – has been conceived to deepen the studies about Administrative Law, with emphasis on the field of infrastructure. RDAI takes a normative perspective of the legal phenomenon: it considers Law as a set of rules, valid within a certain territory. The norms and rules in force within the Brazilian territory, i.e., the Brazilian Law, are the central object of the Journal. In addition, its fundamental theoretical premise is that such a set of rules comprises a system with unity, completeness, and consistency and which has a hierarchical structure, with the constitutional norm at its apex. Therefore, any incompatibility between a hierarchically inferior norm and the higher constitutional norm renders the first void. The Journal considers that it is possible to develop a scientific study of this normative system, to determine: (a) which norms comprise the normative system; (b) what the meaning and scope of those norms are; (c) which of such norms are invalid due to an incompatibility with higher norms.
