摘要：

This article discusses the role of think tanks in the production of ideas guiding recent change in Brazil's economic policy. It claims that think tanks are significant policy-making agents preparing the society for change - via their communicative discourse - but also attempting to influence the interaction between political elites - via their coordinative discourse. The polarization of think tanks' communicative discourse in regard to austerity during two critical junctures for Brazil is analysed. Discursive institutionalism is applied in order to interpret data from four Brazilian think tanks: the Institute of Applied Economic Research, the Inter-Union Department of Statistics and Socioeconomic Studies, the Fernand Braudel Institute and the Brazilian Institute of Economy. These think tanks have very different organizational and ideological characteristics but a polarization of the discussion around austerity can be observed in the discourse of all four of them. The scale ranges from an active defence of the Brazilian development model to a full-scale endorsement of austerity.
