Takeaways

• 😀 Public Administration is not the same as government; government focuses on political decision-making, while public administration executes those decisions.
• 😀 Government formulates public policies, while public administration implements them through technical actions linked to law or norms.
• 😀 Public administration has a hierarchical structure, with a clear distinction between public administration with capital letters (the institutional aspect) and lowercase (the material function).
• 😀 An 'organ' in public administration is a body without legal personality, while an 'entity' is an organization with legal personality.
• 😀 The internal structure of public administration is subject to administrative supervision, not to be confused with autotutela, which is the right to review one's own acts.
• 😀 The theory of the organ in public administration explains the relationship between public agents and the organization through four theories: Identity, Representation, Mandate, and Imputation Volitiva.
• 😀 The Imputation Volitiva Theory (also known as the Theory of the Organ) is adopted in Brazil, where public agents hold competencies but don't directly represent or become the public organization.
• 😀 Public administration bodies without legal personality can still represent the state in legal matters through judicial personality in specific cases, like defending institutional interests.
• 😀 The theory of judicial personality allows certain constitutional bodies to participate in legal processes to protect their institutional interests, despite lacking legal personality.
• 😀 Public administration bodies are classified into different categories such as independent organs, autonomous organs, superior organs, and subordinate organs, each with distinct roles and levels of authority.

Q & A

What is the difference between government and public administration?

Government refers to the political aspect, consisting of bodies and activities aimed at guiding the state politically, while public administration is the set of bodies and entities responsible for executing administrative functions, concretizing public policies, and adhering to legal or technical norms.

Why is it important to distinguish between 'administration pública' with uppercase and lowercase letters?

The uppercase 'administration pública' refers to the administration in an organizational or subjective sense, dealing with administrative bodies. In contrast, the lowercase 'administration pública' refers to material functions such as policing, intervention, and public services.

What is the distinction between an 'organ' and an 'entity' in public administration?

An organ is a functional unit of the public administration that does not have legal personality, whereas an entity is an organization with its own legal personality and competencies.

What is 'tutela administrativa' and how does it differ from 'autotutela'?

'Tutela administrativa' refers to the supervision or ministerial oversight of the administrative structure, whereas 'autotutela' is the principle that allows the administration to review its own acts. 'Tutela administrativa' is more about supervision, not self-review.

What is the main problem with the 'teoria da identidade' (identity theory) regarding public organs?

The problem with the identity theory is that it equates the public organ to the agent, meaning the death of the agent would theoretically end the organ, which is not the case in reality since organs continue to exist even when the agent changes.

What issue does the 'teoria da representação' (representation theory) face in explaining the relationship between the state and its agents?

The representation theory assumes that the state is incapable of acting and relies on agents to act as curators or tutors. The issue is that if the state is incapable, it cannot choose its representatives, which creates a logical contradiction.

Why is the 'teoria do mandato' (mandate theory) considered inadequate for explaining the relationship between the state and its agents?

The mandate theory views the relationship as a contractual one, but the relationship between the state and its agents is usually statutory, not contractual, and the theory fails to explain when the mandate is granted and who gives it.

What is the 'teoria da imputação volitiva' (theory of volitive attribution) and why is it important in Brazilian law?

The theory of volitive attribution, adopted in Brazil, explains that the state is composed of organs that are responsible for forming its will, and the actions of agents are legally attributed to the state, but the agent is not the organ itself. This theory is critical because it clarifies legal responsibilities and actions in public administration.

What is the concept of 'personalidade judiciária' (judicial personality) and when can it be applied?

Judicial personality refers to the capacity of certain public organs to be part of legal processes, but only in defense of their institutional interests. It is an exceptional legal concept since organs typically do not have the capacity to participate in lawsuits.

What are the four types of public organs based on their position in the state structure?

The four types of public organs based on their position are: 1) Independent organs, which represent the highest state powers and do not report to others; 2) Autonomous organs, which have wide autonomy, such as ministries; 3) Superior organs, which have executive authority but are subordinated to higher leadership; 4) Subordinate organs, which execute decisions made by higher organs.
