Research Lines

The CIJE, being a Unit with a high incidence, started to be organized in well defined lines of research and permanent teams of researchers attached to them, in order to give greater continuity, consistency and affinity to the developed activities, without prejudice to the inter or pluridisciplinarity.

The CIJE is organized around two main lines of research:


II LAW, PERSON AND POWER

1. New rights or new objects for law?
 
It is obvious that, as a form of social regulation, the Law has never been so harassed by an open conception of the human, nor so permeable to public opinion. This line aims to critically address the issues that changes in social life bring to the regulation of legal science as a paradigm of coexistence founded on the dignity of the human person, e.g. in the areas of privacy, “bio-rights”, cultural accommodation.

2. Public policy and regulation studies cabinet
 
Research line of CIJE - Centro de Investigação Jurídico-Económica, inserted in FDUP, which studies the exercise of public policies at various levels, from the legal-economic frameworks to the social and legal impacts, focusing in particular on the dynamics of the juridical-institucional environment in the fields of public governance and regulation.
