D306 - ECTS A disciplina agrega um conjunto de matérias (a Constituição Económica, a intervenção do Estado na economia, a defesa da concorrência e da livre circulação) que são tradicionalmente leccionadas nas Faculdades de Direito e de Economia sob a designação de Direito Económico, e cuja inclusão na formação básica dos juristas é objecto de amplo consenso.
A autonomização de uma disciplina de Direito Económico (ou Direito Administrativo da Economia) relativamente às disciplinas tradicionais afins responde a uma necessidade didáctica ou funcional de estudar uma série de assuntos de grande importância mas que por uma razão ou outra acabam por não ser abordados nos lugares curriculares próprios – ou que, sendo abordados nesses lugares, acabam por sê-lo mais ao de leve e a outra luz.
A integração da componente comunitária ou comunitarista (em torno da qual gira toda a problemática da defesa da concorrência – mesmo o próprio direito nacional da concorrência) deve-se também e sobretudo a razões de carácter didáctico: com a redução curricular dos cursos de licenciatura em Direito implicada pelo chamado processo de Bolonha, deixou de haver espaço para duas disciplinas de direito comunitário, esgotando-se a única cadeira devotada a este ramo do direito com o chamado direito institucional, com os princípios e as fontes (a «ordem jurídica comunitária») e, quando muito, com o direito processual comunitário. Subsistiria assim uma grave lacuna na formação básica dos juristas se uma súmula do chamado direito económico comunitário não fosse incluída noutra disciplina – no caso, no Direito Administrativo da Economia.
