The paper’s main go is to analyze in which extent the public policies and management of the Brazilian subnational governments are in line with the innovation trends in the current Post New Public Management Era. To do so, the inquiry develops a comprehensive content analysis of articles presented in nine editions of the Consad’s conference focused on initiatives of states and municipalities, based on a protocol of management trends identified in the literature. The research results, in general, in addition with references of successful cases, indicate that the subnational governments in Brazil are convergent with the most contemporary practices. Besides, most of the initiatives incorporate more than one trend, confirming the premise that innovative policies come from the implementation of different principles and guidelines.
