This article examines the recent development of the relationship between the state and third sector organizations (TSOs) in Brazil and the role of the political sphere in this process. The steady increase in fund transfers, impartial resource allocation, and the greater permeability of decision-making bodies to TSOs—in the Public Policy Management Councils (Conselhos Nacionais de Políticas Públicas)—indicate a trend of declining political inequality. We explore this indication of political inequality reduction by analyzing sixty-one in-depth interviews conducted with TSO directors, centered on their perceptions of the interaction of TSOs and the political sphere. We highlight the low level of legitimacy that clientelistic practices have in the interaction between the third sector and the political sphere, which indicates an important shift in values that historically had been a key feature of the Brazilian political system
