This essay aims to discuss how the ideological role of bureaucratic modernization could serve as a support base for the implementation of the Brazilian national developmental state. The Brazilian bureaucratic modernization emerged in the '30s, in the context of the acceleration of national industry and with strong influences of American reform, formed a process of rationalization of public administration with references to Taylor's theory and Weber's Legal Rationality Model in an attempt to combat patrimonial corruption and nepotism. This transition occurred through Bureaucratic Reform of 1936 and had as its main agent the Administrative Department of Public Service (DASP), which strengthened the public bureaucracy, bringing the ideals of economic progress through rationality and political neutrality, associating the economic delay to the patrimonial administration. The developmental state had the bureaucratic assumptions, especially on the ideological level, however, also subscribed in its apparatus interests of different social groups, mediating and converting them as national interests, thanks to the spread of belief in a neutral bureaucratic body, apolitical and professional who could make public decisions on the basis of a scientific rationality and efficiency, based on the law. Thus, bureaucratic administration, unlike its precepts, embraced these concerns to its interior, creating a state representation for them. It can be concluded that in this decisive configuration for the change of course of country, the interests of groups were duly concealed by belief in the bureaucratic neutrality and represented by the state that shaped the formulation of the nation's interests.
