The scope of the participation of CSOs in providing public services as well as the models and
formats of implementing State-CSO partnerships have varied both in sectoral terms and from a
historical perspective. The discussion of State-CSO partnerships in service delivery has lately
produced many studies, especially based related to public management reform agenda, althought
many ideas based on public governance have appeared on latest years within Brazilian context.
This study features a historical analysis of the State-CSO partnerships in three different areas:

management model (bureaucratic, managerial and new public governance), based on an analysis
of sectoral norms produced by the federal government to regulate these relationships.
