The article makes a rummage of explanations published by the Revista Dados about the implementation of Structural adjustment policies in Brazil, during the 1990s, in order to explore the differences and similarities between the main explanations in the journal. The analysis was performed by making reading notes to isolate the logical structure of the argument of each paper; the grid of reading discerned the following structural elements: the problem and the research question, the object, the objectives and conclusions, and Finally, the thesis of each article. Through the frameworking of thirty-eight articles, we find three family of meanings: the first highlights the sociological arguments, which aggregate three explanations by which the cause of reform lies in Brazilian society. The second brings together two pragmatic explanations that postulate the inevitability of market-oriented reforms, and the third consists of two institutionalist explanations, seeking the cause of political institutions for the implementation of neoliberal reforms. The article reveals that the analysis of neoliberal reforms in Brazil was held from empirical data rich and diverse, but on the other hand, still denote a theoretical and conceptual debate incipient about the subject matter.
