Abstract

In the context of global governance, we analyze the topic of policy transfer in which the formulation of public policies is influenced by experiences of different political contexts. Thus, we question how the Cartagena Protocol influenced the formulation of the Brazilian National Biosafety Policy (PNB). The empirical research was accomplished through semi-structured interviews with qualified respondents who worked directly or indirectly in the PNB’s formulation process. In order to analyze the data we adopted a qualitative approach, through the use of content analysis. The results reveal that there was a policy transfer in the form of lesson drawing from the Cartagena Protocol to the PNB.
