This text presents analyses and experiences that compose the Forum "Public Policies, Neoliberalism and Democracy" of this ‘Cadernos Gestão Pública e Cidadania’, bringing to the field of public administration/management and public policies consolidated theoretical perspectives in political economy and social sciences on neoliberalism. Based on approaches on neoliberalism anchored in the model of capitalist accumulation and its derivations and the concept of “governmentality” and others, from the work of Foucault, it is argued that, in this historical period of sanitary, economic, social, political and other crises, it is relevant that the production of academic knowledge in public administration considers the interdisciplinary challenge of developing research agendas that articulate conceptual critical categories to neoliberalism with the theoretical framework of administration and public policies. Therefore, we analyze, with different examples, the corrosive role of the neoliberal ethos and predictions to public policies and democracy.
