Abstract
The article discusses the importance of epistemic communities, a type of collective actor formed by specialists who share theoretical perspectives and political positions, in the process of formulating public policies. With this objective, the construction of the institutionality of health policies and social work in the period of the Brazilian redemocratization, which involved the elaboration of the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the organic laws that regulate these areas, was analyzed. The research was carried out based on bibliographic review on the subject and content analysis of legislative records. In both sectors, relevant participation of groups of specialists was found. However, different formative trajectories of each community were identified. While health experts already had an accumulation of prior articulation, the social work community was formed based on the institutional incentive of the constituent text.
