Abstract
This article analyzes the Associação Brasileira da Indústria Farmacêutica, an association created to represent Brazilian pharmaceutical manufacturers, pursue the interests of the sector, and ensure strategic stances within the government to advance favorable policy. To do so, the association worked with the government (through legal and non-legal means) to influence the public agenda so that public policies benefited the interests of its members. We examine the conditions that led to the creation of this organization, its political connections, schisms and internal tensions, as well as pressure on the limited government to take up its specific demands.
