Abstract

No one is naive enough to believe that in the 21st century it is possible to find any government immune to the political strength emanated by large global corporations economical power. Indeed, governments are proud in describing themselves as marketing partners/agents of companies that have their respective states as corporate headquarters. In the same way, this naivete is no longer possible when it comes to the frontier between the juridical and the political. The Brazilian case is exemplary, but, to avoid the allegation of subjectivity, it is convenient to examine what happened with the regulation of tobacco consumption in Austria: The Freedom Party in Austria (FPO) demanded to join the coalition to allow the constitution of a government, the withdrawal of the total ban on smoking in bars, restaurants a nd discotheques, provided by 2015 legislation that should take effect on May 1.
