SUMMARY:

This research aims to contribute to the accumulation of scientific knowledge about the process of institutional change and public policies in Brazil. To this end, she materialized a longitudinal study on the institutional evolution of the water and sewage subsystem in the country between 2003 and 2020 at the federal level. According to data from the National Sanitation Information System (SNIS), almost 32 million inhabitants were not served by a public water network, and more than 90 million inhabitants did not have access to the public sewage collection network in 2022. Furthermore, of the total sewage generated in the country that year, almost 48% was untreated. In this context, it is essential to highlight that inadequate coverage and poor quality of sanitation services are associated with the proliferation of diseases. According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), almost 12 million cases of Diseases Related to Inadequate Environmental Sanitation (DRSAI) were reported in Brazil, with approximately five million hospitalizations in the Unified Health System (SUS) between 2008 and 2019. Chagas disease, diarrhea, and dysentery were the leading causes of death, representing almost 81.5% of deaths from DRSAI in this period. Regarding methodological aspects, this research was developed through a single case study, qualitative in nature, and longitudinal analysis. The case under analysis was the institutional evolution of Brazil's water and sewage subsystem at the federal level. This study was supported by content analysis and process tracing strategies applied to documents relevant to the empirical investigation and interviews with relevant actors. The analytical framework adopted in this research was based on the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) and the literature on historical institutionalism and causal mechanisms, aiming to identify how and why the institutional scenario of the water and sewage subsystem changed in Brazil between 2003 and 2020 at the federal level. In this sense, the research identified three coalitions established in a competitive scenario in the water and sewage subsystem, which remained relatively stable throughout the studied period. These institutional changes occurred due to the activation of the causal mechanisms of learning, pressure, negotiation, and mediation.
