Özet

(Abstract) With the democracy that followed the military regime that ended in 1985, the state administration and public policy process in Brazil have changed. The official transition to a fully democratic government in Brazil took place with the 1988 Brazilian Constitution, and in addition to the intensification of decentralization in public administration, structural organizations were established that paved the way for the participation of non-state actors in the formulation and management of public policies. In this context, the most significant improvement is the formation of “public policy management councils”. Private sector and multinational companies and media organizations are other policy actors that have been actively involved in the public policy process in recent years. In line with these developments, the public policy process in Brazil has been rearranged within the framework of a more transparent,
accountable, and participatory system. This study aims to analyze the main characteristics of the Brazilian federal government and the actors involved in the public policy-making process.
