This article aims to explore the genesis of arenas as an interorganizational relation space that can promote, or at least cleave, the path for corporate crimes. Based the scenario in which Brazil eradicated slavery, we argue there has been the creation of dynamic arenas and counter-arenas as spaces for avoiding or promoting corporate crimes, while the state has played the role of facilitator in such crimes. This paper asserts that promotion and prevention of corporate crimes are both legitimate actions by the state in its regime of permission, and every single actor who play in this field through arenas. In order to map the key elements of these arenas, our investigation is based on the techniques of shadowing, in-depth interviews, and field observation. After building our data pool, we analysed the phenomena mostly through open, axial, and selective coding, based on the Grounded Theory approach as a mean for categorization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Network structures within the public sector have an expansion at present, producing a new administrative reality. In the context of the Brazilian public sector, it is still a relatively unexplored subject. The public institution responsible for proceed health regulation in Brazil is the National Agency of Supplemental Health (ANS). Other government agencies that interact in this process include the Orientation Program and Consumer Protection (OPCP), Public Ministry, Public Defender's Office and the Judiciary. However, the activities of these agencies are not integrated. The aim of this study is to analyze the conditions for the creation of a network between public agencies that participate in the regulatory process of supplemental health in Rio Grande do Sul. For this, a qualitative, exploratory research was conducted, adopting a case study strategy. Data were collected through interviews with managers of public agencies involved in the regulation of the supplemental health. The analysis was based on nine categories proposed as necessary conditions for the creation of the network - receptivity, stimulation, trust, cooperation, political support, operational technical support, articulated organization, coordination instruments, and constant and lasting interaction. The survey results show that respondents envisage effective possibilities of earnings from network operations, including greater effectiveness of the supplemental health regulation. However, they do not have much distinctness about the aspects that involve working in networks, which requires better understanding of the subject. Therefore, it is a research field that can be further explored. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
