Resumo: This paper aims to analyze the institutional changes in the power sector carried out by Dilma Rousseff’s government, relating them to the wider political crisis that permeated its second term, leading to its overthrown in 2016. Mobilizing the literature on state capabilities, we seek to advance the discussion on coordination capacities as an explanatory element for the crisis. Rousseff sought to retake state intervention in the power sector, intending to displace the protagonism acquired over the previous years by private entrepreneurs, especially foreigners. This reform, however, was widely criticized, even by business groups benefiting from the reduction of electricity tariffs. Our hypothesis is that the problems in the coordinative dimension of state capacities led to the weakening of the ruling coalition born in 2003.

Movilizando la literatura sobre las capacidades del estado, buscamos avanzar la discusión sobre las capacidades de coordinación como elemento explicativo de la crisis. Rousseff intentó retomar la intervención estatal en el sector eléctrico, con la intención de desplazar el protagonismo adquirido en los años anteriores por empresarios privados, especialmente extranjeros. Sin embargo, esta reforma fue ampliamente criticada, incluso por grupos empresariales que se benefician de la reducción de las tarifas eléctricas. Nuestra hipótesis es que los problemas en la dimensión coordinativa de las capacidades estatales llevaron al debilitamiento de la coalición gobernante nacida en 2003.Este artigo analisa as mudanças institucionais no setor elétrico levadas a cabo pelo governo Dilma Rousseff, relacionando-as à crise política mais ampla que permeou o seu segundo mandato, levando à sua derrubada em 2016. Mobilizando a literatura sobre capacidades estatais, buscamos avançar na discussão sobre as capacidades de coordenação como elemento explicativo para a crise. Rousseff buscou retomar o intervencionismo estatal no setor elétrico, pretendendo deslocar o protagonismo adquirido ao longo dos anos anteriores pelo empresariado privado, sobretudo estrangeiro. Essa reforma, porém, foi amplamente criticada, inclusive pelo empresariado beneficiado pela redução das tarifas de eletricidade. Nossa hipótese é que os problemas na dimensão coordenativa das capacidades estatais levaram ao enfraquecimento da coalizão governista nascida em 2003.UFRGS2019-08-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa Qualitativaapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/debates/article/view/8901410.22456/1982-5269.89014Revista Debates; Vol. 13 Núm. 2 (2019): Dossiê Políticas Estatais no Capitalismo Atual; 68-89Revista Debates; v. 13 n. 2 (2019): Dossiê Políticas Estatais no Capitalismo Atual; 68-891982-52692236-479Xreponame:Revista Debatesinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/debates/article/view/89014/53828Copyright (c) 2019 Revista Debatesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira Ribeiro, AndreaRodrigues Marques da Silva, Roberta2019-08-28T14:38:45Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/89014Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/debatesPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/debates/oai1982-52692236-479Xopendoar:2019-08-28T14:38:45Revista Debates - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
