The World Cup of exception in the tribunal of the Pure Theory of Law

This article intends to analyze the situation of economic exception established in Brazil for the accomplishment of the so-called "mega-events", specially the 2014 World Cup, when many rights and guarantees foreseen in the Brazilian legal system will be suspended with the purpose of guaranteeing FIFA's monopolistic economic exploitation at the event. The work's theoretical framework has its basis in Kelsen's Pure Theory of Law, which, as an example of the legal theory of normality, where the exception has no room, perfectly suits as an inverted paradigm for the authoritarian political-legal scenario established in Brazil, the latter being briefly presented through the analysis of part of the exceptional legislation approved to ensure the World Cup.
