LEMOS, Flávia Cristina Silveira et al. Problematization about Unicef’s activities in Brazil. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.3, pp.761-777. ISSN 1677-1168.  https://doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2018v24n3p761-777.

The action of international organizations such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and the United Nations over the political administration of countries has been increasingly more present in the transnational scenario, since their creation last century. In this paper, we mean to question the actions of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), based on the analysis of power developed by Foucault and other Social Science authors, such as Weber and Bourdieu. In this article, our interest is to examine the effects of these institutions’ actions over the Brazilian family. It is worth outstanding that Michel Foucault (1979; 1995) reminded us of the size of the power legal sovereignty and the sphere of domination over both the subject and the power and Sovereignty and Discipline. In this context, it is possible to determine a link between the analytics of power in Foucault, and Weber’s and Bourdieu’s view of power.

Keywords : Power; Domination; UNICEF.
