The success of different categories of legal professionals in building positions of state power in Brazil since the end of the military regime is in line with the legitimation of models of law and international cooperation. This article focuses on the connections between Brazilian legal actors and the international 'fight against corruption'. By looking at the international connections of Brazil's Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF), we aim to show how the promotion of anti-corruption models of law is the result of corporate cooperation strategies. We cite as evidence overseas travel by MPF agents and their connections with the international field in recent decades. We start by analyzing cooperation documents and then attempt to trace the MPF's pathway towards internationalization during the 2000s.
O artigo pretende trazer elementos para a análise do papel dos think tanks na construção da agenda política das instituições judiciais no Brasil dos anos 2000. Para tanto, nos centramos no protagonismo do think tank norte-americano Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars na difusão da agenda anticorrupção e nas relações estabelecidas com a cúpula do Judiciário no cenário nacional. Através da análise de conteúdo dos sucessivos relatórios publicados pela entidade, bem como, das conexões entre apoiadores, intelectuais e agentes judiciais que ocupam postos de destaque no Judiciário brasileiro; buscou-se explorar a produção ideacional do Wilson Center. O material obtido evidencia o investimento das ações do Instituto em direção à difusão da agenda anticorrupção. Esse processo se intensifica, especialmente a partir de 2014, quando os laços de cooperação com a elite jurídica brasileira aparecem através de diferentes eventos em uma conjuntura de forte protagonismo político e judicial em torno dessa agenda.
