A criação de um ambiente regulatório no Brasil: mecanismos de controle social e o processo de institucionalização das agências reguladoras federais

Mudanças recentes no ambiente regulatório brasileiro demandam a criação de um novo contexto institucional que permita uma melhor articulação na relação entre Estado e sociedade, em especial no que se refere aos mecanismos de controle social. A nova experiência baseada na criação de “agências reguladoras” no Brasil evidencia as deficiências de sua lógica. O trabalho apresentado, a partir de revisões da teoria institucional e da regulação, examina o surgimento e funcionamento do atual quadro regulatório brasileiro, e constrói um modelo que considera a inter-relação entre as dinâmicas institucionais das esferas social e política e, conseqüentemente, em uma real participação pública no processo de regulação.
