Abstract
The present study investigates the process of citizen participation in public sports-related policy-making in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, and its purpose is therefore characterized as work of descriptive research. The analyzed period begins in 1992 and extends until the year 2006 and a case study method is used. Data collection was performed using different techniques relevant to the case study method, namely, participant observation, in-depth interviews and documentary research. The results showed that although the main social actors participating in the drafting of public policy had already previously been engaged in the process of public policy-making, some citizen participation did exist in a cooperative form and in the involvement of public collegiate bodies.
