LIMA, DANIELA DA COSTA BRITTO PEREIRA and DESIDERIO, MÔNICA. Brazilian State Capacities and DE institutional architecture: from bureaucratic organization to inserted autonomy by state organs. Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.1, pp.121-142. ISSN 2447-4193. https://doi.org/10.21573/vol34n12018.82468.
The theme of this study is the institutional architecture of distance education - EaD - in Brazil, from the point of view of the state's capabilities, regarding the bureaucratic organization. Its general objective is to present and discuss some of the capabilities of the Brazilian State to manage it's public DE policy. The research is a bibliographical and empirical study, with theoretical support in Evans (1993, 1995, 2004). The empirical study considered the mapping and analysis of the institutional architecture of EaD in Brazil between 2010 and 2013 (LIMA, 2013). It concludes that the Brazilian State needs to reassess its DE institutional architecture as a means to develop its bureaucratic organization capacity and inserted autonomy, and as a condition to move from an intermediary State to a developed one.
