Abstract

Council for Economic and Social Development (CDES) was designed to play a purposeful and articulator role of a development project through social dialogue. In this way, we understand that the CDES would stimulate strategic interactions for development. That is, CDES should integrate an institutional arrangement capable of facing the coordination’s problems of a new development strategy. In this article, we investigate the role played by the Council during Lula’s government (2003-2010) through analysis of contextual dimensions and institutional learning. We argue that, since its creation in 2003 until the end of the second Lula government, CDES has been an important arena for dialogue on development to promote intermittent strategic interactions. Despite showing significant fluctuations in intensity and form of interaction, Council presented the culmination of his performance during the 2008 crisis, reaching an advanced level of social dialogue. At the time, CDES promoted strategic interactions that contributed to the spread of optimism and recovery Brazilian economy. However, how quickly the dismantling of strategic interactions happened suggests that CDES present difficulties to continue playing this role
