Tassiana Moura de Oliveira

I am a scholar of Comparative Judicial Politics with a focus on Brazilian political studies, the judicialization of policies, and the relationships between law and society in Brazil. I completed a post-doctoral research project at Cebrap that examined the judicialization of COVID-19-related policies at the sub-national level of Brazil's judiciary system and the role of state courts in that policymaking process. My research interests center on the role of courts as policymakers, the impact of democratic backsliding on constitutional courts, and the function of courts in safeguarding democracies.
