Introduction to the Special Issue: Public policies of Tourism in Brazil

Abstract

How to write a history of public policy? Would there be a (universal) history of public policy? What themes, authors, regions, theoretical currents and epistemological foundations stood out over time? As Vandenberghe teaches us (2009, 2010) a story can be told in many ways: chronological, geographical, nationally ... or by the intellectual epigons and their theoretical schools or epistemological traditions, which they found, or to which they are linked.
