This article investigates how ideas shared by a professional group are promoting institutional change. Using a unique dataset of interviews and the qualitative method collective mindset analysis (CMA), the thinking patterns of Brazilian legal professionals related to how to counter corruption were reconstructed. We identified two general types of thinking among people working in anti-corruption: a local- and abroad-oriented mindset, with the majority of the group thinking that domestic deficiencies should be remedied by imitating foreign solutions tested in the ‘developed’ world. Our findings contribute to the existing literature on organizational institutionalism and discuss the effect of ideas in a professional field.
Quem são os profissionais atuantes na temática anticorrupção? A partir de uma base de dados de entrevistas com advogados, juízes e procuradores experientes em casos de corrupção no Brasil desde a redemocratização, aplicamos o método prosopográfico para descrever as dimensões social, educacional e ocupacional do grupo. Nossos resultados mostram que o volume de investimentos em ensino supera o de outras carreiras legais fora da especialidade penal econômica, que as universidades públicas continuam sendo as prediletas dessa elite jurídica, e que passagens pelo exterior são tão frequentes quanto a pós-graduação em escolas locais. Para auxiliar a agenda de pesquisa sobre Direito e Sociedade, bem como Direito e Política, investigamos as diferentes colorações de profissionais ocorridas no banco.
