Mercado, Organizações de Interesse e Burocracia Pública: o Caso do Setor Pecuário no Brasil

Paixão, Antônio Luiz; Prates, Antônio Augusto Pereira

Resumen

This paper is an exploratory study of political relations in the cattle raising sector in Brazil. Three basic questions are investigated. First, the various actors' capacity to collectively articulate their interests; second, the confront between the interest representation system and the public bureaucracy; and, third, the dilemmas that arise between interest representation and the instrumental rationality of public policies. The study is based on a survey of interest groups' representatives and higher civil servants as well as on documentary evidence collected in the files of the Ministry of Agriculture in 1979.
