Hi everyone! I'm translating the following academic abstract and I'm not sure if 'relativization' can be used...any help appreciated!

7. Extradição e judicialização da política – o caso sem precedentes de Cesare Battisti

RESUMO
O presente trabalho procura suscitar reflexões sobre a judicialização da política no processo de extradição. Essa análise se dará por meio do exame da mudança de atuação do STF, em especial na Extradição 1.085, também conhecida como “caso Cesare Battisti”. Trata-se de um caso sem precedentes no Supremo Tribunal Federal, seja politicamente, pelo debate acalorado entre os Ministros, seja juridicamente, pelo surgimento de uma série de questões que nunca haviam sido enfrentadas e que, em certa medida, transcendem os aspectos jurídicos aos quais era limitada a atuação da Corte Suprema. Dessa forma, o artigo tem por objetivos examinar o caso Battisti e ***a relativização da autonomia do Executivo em extradição***, trazendo questões sobre as consequências advindas do julgamento pelo Tribunal, e, consequentemente, sobre o limite da eficácia das decisões administrativas.
Palavras-chave: Judicialização da Política. Supremo Tribunal Federal. Extradição.

the relativization of the Executive autonomy regarding extradition.


Explanation:
I believe you can use "relativization", I don't see why not.
Other options:
1. "...and the relative autonomy of the Executive regarding extradition."
2. "...and the relativity/conditionality/contingency of Executive autonomy regarding extradition."
3. "... and the relative dependence of the Executive autonomy regarding extradition."
4. "...and the lack of independence of the Executive autonomy regarding extradition."

"Relativização" and "relativization" have precisely the same meaning in Portuguese and English (and perhaps they are also equally "clumsy", I can recognize it).
Maybe that's why it is not easy to express its meaning in other words ...

I think the word "relativização"/"relativization" in this case and context has a precise intention, and it is difficult to express it in other words.
For example, it can refers to the "relativization of autonomy" in general, or just the "relativization of autonomy" in the Battisti case; under the Battisti case, can refer to how autonomy was disregarded / relativized during the case, or how the autonomy ended relativized by the verdict of the case.

The text may also be referring to the "relativization of autonomy" induced by Battisti case, or just the "recognition of the state of relativity of autonomy" (a situation never considered before because there had never been a case like this).
In all circumstances, we are really talking about the "relativization of autonomy."

neutral  Robert Forstag: "Relativization" (even if the word exists) is clumsy; "the' prior to "executive autonomy" is incorrect (as is capitalization of "executive").
