Abstract
The purpose of this article is to analyze the group of studies that make up the special edition of the Cadernos EBAPE.BR journal, which is entitled "Public Policies in their Multiple Dimensions". Beyond offering a mere formal presentation, the article seeks to analyze how this "conflicting drama" of public policies is constituted as a common thread of these studies. It notes that conflicts, strife and vetoes are all part of the logic of such policies and should constitute a source of research for future work, especially as they tend to be neglected by normative, formalistic or metaphysical points of view.
