Política nas políticas: um olhar sobre os estudos na agricultura brasileira

Abstract

Considering the study of public policies as empirical instances of the State in action, the present thesis aims at systematize the analysis of public policies that discuss political issues and reflect on their potentialities and limits, having as a specific case the analysis of public policies for agriculture in Brazil in the last 30 years (during the democratization period). In order to do that, we will review the recent international literature about the approaches, focus, theories and models that recover the political issues in public policies followed by a watch on the study of this theme in Brazil aiming in both moments to recover the focus of networks such as the one that can better contribute to expose - through the public policies - the political dynamic State-society.
