Abstract

A latent concern in studies of agenda formation and change lies in the priorities of the actors in the legislative power. Such priorities can be perceived from the observation of legislative proposals and projects that attract the attention of these actors. The fellow in question will undergo specific training to familiarize and understand the legislative process and the formation of the government agenda. In order to understand the project, it will be necessary to insert and discuss the literature on agenda setting and the national literature that deals with the legislative process in Brazil. Moving on to the methodological part, the data necessary for this analysis will be extracted from the LEXML system, the Brazilian Legislative and Legal Information Network, through a system for searching and compiling data in Excel. The first action of the scholarship holder will be, therefore, the knowledge and use of this information system, its search and data selection tools, and the way of collecting and processing the selected data.(AU)
