ARRATIA SANDOVAL, Esteban. BEYOND PACIFICATION. COMPETITION STATE-MAKING IN RIO'S FAVELAS. rev.relac.int.estrateg.segur. [online]. 2017, vol.12, n.2, pp.231-265. ISSN 1909-3063.  https://doi.org/10.18359/ries.2221.

During the 2016 World Economic Forum, the strategy of pacification in Rio's favelas was recognized as the most innovative public security policy in the last decade. From this scenario, and using Competition State-Making, this paper analyzes, under a qualitative approach,the design and implementation of that initiative. Then, we seek to assess its results after implementation, and finally outline main lessons to extract from the Brazilian case. The main conclusion of this survey is that the Brazilian pacification strategy was based on three pillars: operational decriminalization; adoption of comprehensive approach; and coordination between three government levels (federal, state, and municipal).

Keywords : Brazil; competition state-making; organized crime; pacification; competition state-making; competition state-making.
