Entre a legalidade e o autoritarismo : a justiça militar e as Operações de Garantia da Lei e da Ordem (GLO) na segurança pública brasileira

Abstract

This paper examines the concept of authoritarian legality and investigates the role of the Military Justice in Law and Order Guarantee Operations (GLO) and Federal Intervention as a public security measure in Brazil, highlighting the persistence of authoritarian practices and structures that compromise democratic strengthening. The study addresses the historical evolution of the Military Justice, with an emphasis on legislative changes, especially Law 13.491/17, which expands the jurisdiction of military justice, and its implications for the relationship between civil and military powers. Detailed case studies are included, such as the Federal Intervention in Rio de Janeiro in 2018, which highlight the contradictions between the operations and the principles of the Democratic Rule of Law, in addition to the consequences for civil rights. The research adopts a qualitative approach, through documentary analysis and theoretical review, aiming to understand the impacts of these measures on the maintenance of social control and the barriers to democratic consolidation.
