Abstract

Rio de Janeiro city government’s Olympic Villages program began in 2000, based on assumptions of neoliberal state reform already under way in Brazil. It has never been directly managed by the city government. Sports federations and NGOs did personnel management and hiring. The process saw its contradictions as shown by documents of the City’s Accounting Control Agency. This paper looked into contradictions in the State’s relations with and civil society regarding implementation of social policies for sport as part of the process of privatization and precarization of state action. This text shows that such relations with civil society organizations existed before the law regulating those organizations was passed by 2009, following the city government’s program since its foundation.
