Framework and decision tree model structuring for nanotechnology regulatory governance

Abstract

Currently nanotechnologies are a reality, even in countries such as Brazil (the focus of this study), but there is still no normative framework directly created by the State’s intervention. The objective of this article is to address the use of framework and decision tree, administration field instruments, as an example of a practical application of law sources dialogue and the absence of a State regulatory framework for the governance of nano-technological risks, in a nano-specific regulatory absent scenario. For this purpose, the phenomenological hermeneutic method will be used, in which the researcher is directly involved, since he is related to the object of study. The use of decision trees and the framework, filtered through the new normative perspective contained in the Federal Constitution and in Conventionality control, for nanotechnology risk management, is an alternative that opens the possibility for development and innovation, even in law, without further damaging the planet and its inhabitants, given the new challenges imposed by nanotechnologies.
