espanolLos estudios sobre las cortes en America Latina se han centrado cada vez mas en el comportamiento de los tribunales supremos y su relacion con los gobiernos para explicar los patrones de actividad judicial. En este trabajo, argumentamos que entender las transformaciones en los patrones de la politica judicial a lo largo del tiempo requiere que consideremos los procesos de construccion de poder judicial como relativamente independiente del uso real del poder judicial. Ademas, si bien la relacion entre los jueces y el gobierno en ejercicio es decisiva para moldear los incentivos estrategicos en torno al uso del poder judicial, la oposicion juega un papel mas crucial en la construccion del poder judicial. Ilustramos estas proposiciones en una breve discusion sobre los denominados Mandados de Seguranca (MS) presentados ante el Supremo Tribunal brasileno entre octubre de 1988 y mayo de 2016. La dinamica en torno a estos juicios ilustra un tipo de asociacion entre el tribunal y la oposicion que podria crear condiciones mas favorables para el futuro ejercicio judicial del poder EnglishStudies on courts in Latin America have increasingly focused on high court behavior and its relationship with governments in explaining patterns of judicial activity. In this paper, we argue that understanding transformations in patterns of judicial politics over time requires us to consider processes of building judicial power as relatively independent from the actual use of judicial power. Moreover, while the relationship between judges and the incumbent government is decisive in shaping the strategic incentives around the use of judicial power, the opposition plays a more crucial role in the building of judicial power. We illustrate these propositions in a brief discussion of all the Mandados de Seguranca (MS) filed before the Brazilian Supreme Court between October 1988 and May 2016. The dynamics around these lawsuits illustrate a kind of partnership between the court and the opposition that might create more favorable conditions for the future judicial exercise of power
