Weber's bureaucratic model in Brazil: The corruption of ideas as obstacles to the implementation of public policies

The study identifies the role of ideas and the importance of bureaucracy, an institution leading the state administrative machinery of the Brazilian state, in the building and development of public policies. Further, it highlights the weaknesses of the Brazilian bureaucratic system, especially with regard to public policies, because there is a flaw in the interpretation of the Weberian model and constitutional principles due Brazilian political culture. Finally, it proposes actions to be taken by government leaders in order to allow a gradated rapprochement of the administration model developed in Brazil to that of the Weberian model, in order to guarantee the effectiveness of public policies.
