Resumo: This article examines the diffusion of independent regulatory agencies (IRAs) in Brazil, demonstrating how important domestic factors interplayed with traditional mechanisms of diffusion lead to an expressive process of agencification. Although top-down, bottom-up and horizontal mechanisms played an important role in the Brazilian agencification process, they fail to explain the creation of IRAs in unexpected sectors or the frequent modifications that occurred at subnational levels in a short period of time. To understand how local political actors adapted the regulatory agency model to the Brazilian institutional legacies, field research was conducted, based on bibliographical, documental, and interviews with key political actors. The specificities of Brazilian federalism and the strategic role of the film industry, bureaucrats and politicians in (re)interpreting the agency model helped to boost the diffusion of IRAs in Brazil.

Aunque los mecanismos top-down, bottom-up y horizontales han desempeñado un papel importante en la difusión de las agencias reguladoras brasileñas, son insuficientes para explicar la creación de agencias en sectores inusitados o las frecuentes modificaciones ocurridas en los niveles subnacionales. Para entender la adaptación del modelo de agencia al contexto local, se realizó una investigación de campo, basada en bibliografía, documentación oficial y entrevistas con actores clave. Las especificidades del federalismo brasileño y el papel estratégico desempeñado por actores de la industria cinematográfica, burócratas y políticos en la reinterpretación del modelo de agencia contribuyeron a apalancar la difusión de agencias reguladoras independientes en Brasil.Este artigo examina a difusão de agências reguladoras independentes no Brasil, demonstrando de que forma a interação entre variáveis relacionadas ao contexto local e mecanismos tradicionais de difusão levaram a um expressivo processo de agencificação.
