| contents | Why are Brazilians so interested in gun control? Putting the Multiple Streams Framework to the test Diego Sanjurjo Política Brazil agenda setting Gun control policy studies Gun control has been a relevant political issue in Brazil for over twenty years. The first goal of this article is to understand and explain this unusual prominence in the political agenda. The second is the empirical verification of a proposed modification for John Kingdon’s Multiple Streams Framework that may allow a more appropriate application to the Latin American context. Findings suggest that proponents of both gun control and gun liberalization were able to exploit the rise in homicides and their close relations to legislators and presidents to couple the streams together and systematically reintroduce the issue in the agenda. The process was marked by the strong influence of opposing interest groups, whereas political parties and public opinion played a secondary role. In consequence, the agenda-setting process mirrored a political stream that acknowledges how legislatures and political parties are frequently weak in Latin America, while special interests can have a major influence over executives that dominate policymaking. 2021 artículo científico 0104-6276 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32969913002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/329/32969913002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/329/32969913002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/329/32969913002/32969913002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/329/32969913002/movil 10.1590/1807-01912021273730 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=329 Opinião Pública application/pdf Universidade Estadual de Campinas Opinião Pública (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.27 |
