O processo político de reforma da previdência no Brasil: de FHC à Bolsonaro

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the political processes underlying pension reforms, to understand how they impact pension policy reforms. As an analytical framework, the assumptions of incremental science developed by Charles Lindblom and supported by the empirical studies of Aaron Wildavsky's budget process are used. As for the methodological aspects, it is a qualitative research that uses the method of narratives to reconstruct the histories of the political processes of pension reforms, from the analysis of journalistic articles, diaries of the national congress, proposals for amendment to the Constitution and laws complementary. As a result, it is identified that both the political process and the results of the reforms occur incrementally, as the political processes are formed by diverging objectives and values with an emphasis on the individual decision that each political agent would take in relation to the problem.
