Subsídios para o estudo do regime de modificação dos contratos de concessão no direito angolano

Abstract

The purpose of the following work is to add a contribution to the study of concession agreements in Angolan Law, and, at the same time, to provide ideas of how to improve its modification regime. In order to do this, we start by presenting an historical view about concession agreements and their modification in certain countries whose Administrative Law has had a direct influence in Angolan law, countries like France, Portugal and Brazil, and then, we analyse their evolution since Angola's independence. Following, we focus our analysis on the issue of modifying concession agreements, more precisely, public services and public works, including their limits, their grounds, their multiple functioning ways, and their consequences. This is a relevant discussion in order to understand the actual cases that have recently occurred in the context of the Angolan public administration, hence hoping we can determine those forms of modification that better represent the interests of the State and it's citizens.
