Digital Government in Brazil

This book examines Digital Government in Brazil as a public policy from a legal-institutional perspective. Drawing on neoinstitutionalist approaches, it analyzes how legal norms, institutions, and actor constellations shape the state’s digital transformation. In addition to an in-depth analysis of the Brazilian legal framework, the study includes comparative insights from German Digital Government and European Union policies. Through case studies such as judicial digitalization, electronic voting, and internet governance, the book identifies structural limits of Brazil’s digital agenda. It concludes by proposing guidelines for a democratic digital welfare state and innovation-oriented state capacity.
The author is a legal scholar specializing in public law and public policy analysis.
