CASTELLANI FILHO, Lino. Brazilian sports policies: from ‘state policies’ to the ‘state of policies’. Rev. Motriviv. [online]. 2019, vol.31, n.60, e67325.  Epub Dec 05, 2019. ISSN 2175-8042.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-8042.2019e67325.

This essay reflects on the configuration of sports policies in Brazil, drawing on the author’s experience as a researcher in the field, and, at certain times, public manager of the referred policies. It seeks to express the lack of a “state policy” character in sports policies, making observations on the moments in which they have come closest to that character and then, the missed opportunity. Finally, it discusses the presence of sports policies under the current government, pointing to a discredited “state of sports policies”, which are very unlikely to rise to the level of state policies. A State that has been giving clear signs of its government’s intention to militarize Brazilian Society, having the sports policies, led by the Armed Forces, as its loyal squire.

Keywords : Brazilian sports policies; State policies; Ministry of sports; Militarization of sports.
