Abstract
The present work aims to develop a set of methodological tools that are useful for the comparison of administrative laws, adopting a critical perspective in a triple sense: critical thinking, critical comparative law and a critical approach to administrative law, as a subject of study for comparison. In order to follow this path, it is necessary to briefly present the epistemological discussion between functionalism and critical comparative law; and then critically approach
the discourses on the convergence of laws in the context of neoliberal globalization. These steps allow us to justify the importance of these comparisons as well as to identify the object of comparison. Subsequently, five methodological tools are developed, the particular articulation of which will depend on the specific purposes of the research.
