Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Given the outbreak of large cases of corruption in recent decades, it is necessary to address the relationship between public agents and business organizations in Brazil. The problem in question lies in the distancing from the public interest in these relationships. From this perspective, the objective is to discuss corruption as an expression of State action in collusion with private companies. The selected methodology was the bibliographical research, of a qualitative nature. The results pointed to several administrative corruption scandals in Brazil in recent decades. Thus, the conclusion reached is that, normally, these relationships do not converge for the common good, considering that public agents are submissive to the interests of large companies.
