Managerial reform and legitimacy of the welfare state
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article lists three new historical facts after the Second World War: the emergence of the welfare state in the 1940s; the rejection of the welfare state by a rentier and financier neoliberal ideology that becomes dominant from the 1980s; and the formulation and adoption of the managerial reform of the state as a way to legitimize the welfare state, which was under attack because of its more efficient universal social services. The 1995 Managerial Reform of the State in Brazil was formulated and has been adopted according to this backdrop.
