What is it about?
For the empirical field of study, we considered the Brazilian wine industry – specifically wineries located in the South of Brazil, the largest producer and exporter of Brazil. Starting from a case study with twenty-three interviews with representatives of wineries and entities of this industry, our paper furthers the understanding of how institutions influence the internationalization of firms in an emerging country. Based on the political perspective of the neo-institutional theory, our study describes how institutions, mainly the government, can influence an industry.

Why is it important?
The neo-institutional theory has been used to explain inter-organizational networks related phenomena from the economic and sociological perspectives. The political perspective has not been often used to explore studies of institutional contexts of networks.
Perspectives
Government cannot afford resources to benefit or protect all the industries, as well as cannot provide incentives to all firms, and those that are supported will lose competitiveness. For the firms, the choices are based on trying to achieve economic advantages through political influences. For the institutions, the choices are made based on political influences considering institutional strategies.
