Democratic Public Action During Times of Backsliding: Examining the Resilience of Brazil’s Food and Water Policies
摘要
This study sought to shed light on the ability of informal policy networks to establish implementation alternatives and coalitions to resist change and promote new political responses. We examine the determinants and limits of resilience to democratic policy dismantling. Light is shed on the political and cognitive dimensions of the policy process, with a focus on the collective action in policy implementation. We propose to highlight an overlooked aspect of resilience literature—the collaboration between state and non-state actors in implementing policy instruments despite efforts to dismantle them.
