The principle of efficiency, beyond rhetoric

O princípio da eficiência, para além da retórica

Abstract

This scientific text deals with the reality of the principle of efficiency in Brazilian Administrative Law, since its insertion in the Brazilian Constitution (article 37, caput). In this sense, the article that is summarized here is a denunciation of the fact that administrative efficiency, as a constitutional promise, has not yet been materialized in the public administration of the country, at any of its levels, and it will hardly be effective due to the dense cloud of doubts that it has provoked in both the Executive and the Judiciary, and this has nothing - or very little - to do with corruption. Undoubtedly, in up-to-date Public Administration, the role of agents should adapt to the complexity of the interests of the community, which are multifaceted and changing. The work published here aims to point out the problems and solutions in what concerns the administrative efficiency of today so that a real system is framed in which the efficiency of tomorrow is renewed in perception. Therefore, the research was carried out through a deductive approach and bibliographical and documental review.
