Análise das políticas públicas contrárias às evidências científicas, em face do princípio da moralidade administrativa

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to verify whether public policies formulated in opposition to scientific evidence would violate, for this reason, the principle of administrative morality. The hypothesis is that there would be a violation of that principle, understood as a duty of good administration. The study adopted as theoretical frameworks the systems built by Diogo de Figueiredo Moreira Neto (1992) and Thiago Marrara (2017) for the analysis of morality and the notion of “Evidence-Based Public Policies” (PPBEs). The research is qualitative, legal-dogmatic and its genre is eminently theoretical, since it looks for a solution to the problem in the doctrinal texts (bibliographic survey). In the end, it was possible to conclude that the public policy formulated in opposition to scientific evidence violates the principle of administrative morality because the object of the administrative act that substantiates this policy is not suited to the specific public interest that would be pursued through it.
