Sumario:Brazil has experienced, especially in the first decade of this century, a set of participatory social processes, involving state and non-state actors in the elaboration and implementation of public policies within the federal government. The present work aims to reflect on one of these experiences, started in 2003, around the implementation of the Rural Territories Sustainable Development Program (PDSTR, in Portuguese). What makes this process relevant for thinking about the execution of public policies, the power relations and the social actors involved is the way the government agency responsible for the program works, the Secretariat of Territorial Development (SDT, in Portuguese). This reflection is part of an ongoing research and aims to present the institutional arrangement formed for the implementation of the program in question and some theoretical elements that allow us to analyze this process sociologically and others similar, whether at federal, state or municipal level.
