Abstract
The speed of emerging technology evolution and the concerns about the adverse outcomes put pressure on the incremental pattern of lawmaking. We conducted an empirical study by using Habermas’ Theory of Communicative Action with the help of the Multiple Streams Framework in order to answer the question: what are the difficulties in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) regulation process in Brazil? It is a qualitative research, applied to the three levels of the political-technocrat environment. The focus is the archival analysis of public records produced by specialized Science and Technology Committees from legislative houses in 2019, for an exploratory assessment of the difficulties. We aim at contributing to fill the gap in the studies of the regulation process of emerging technologies, which can become an additional competitive hurdle to a developing country.
