ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT
Since the end of the military period ahead of the Brazilian government in 1985, Brazil has had eight presidents swinging from lefts- and right-wing political orientations. The political direction turned from the right (Sarney and Collor 1985–1992) to the centre (Fernando Henrique 1994–2002) to the left (Lula and Dilma 2003–2016), and back to the right (Bolsonaro 2019–). Despite political orientation differences, all of them made (Bolsonaro is still making) some administrative reforms. In this paper, we present a historical line of such changes and the impact upon public management theory.
