The group focuses on the analysis of policies implemented in various countries and their impact on socio-economic and political change. The analyses are oriented towards the study of policy formation, whether current or historical, as well as specific state interventions, whether institutional, structural, conjunctural or legitimising-social. Particular relevance is attributed to the practical and comparative application of various historical experiences. In this context, research interests include analyses in historical perspective of the constitution and formation of public policies, but also more recent aspects of policy applications in different contexts, as well as their implications and impacts on the economic development of countries. Of course, an essential element of this research is its comparative dimension from which lessons are intended to be drawn for the formulation of innovative policies applicable to specific contexts.
