Abstract

The agenda's constitution includes a turning point in public policy formulation, defining an object of government intervention. In this sense, we seek to evaluate the hegemony relationships that pervades the candidature of Rio de Janeiro city to host the Olympic and Paraolympic Games. The research was based on documentary survey constructed from institutional sources and press media, discussed based on the technique of content analysis. Treatment and interpretation of data were organized guided by the State's Relational Theory, sport's organization and market, which allowed the characterization of the Olympic block, that is, of the power block inherent to Rio Games 2016.
