Participação popular e as políticas públicas no Brasil

Abstract

This work was conducted through literature review and aimed to briefly describe the history of democracy, as well as explain the low intensity democracy, demonstrating the evolution of popular participation in Brazil and some mechanisms of social participation. The study was collected through surveys on theoretical frameworks and ended with closing remarks that there has been an evolution in the arenas of social participation, the creation of new spaces, although still insufficient, plus there was more inclusion of civil society in the areas of participation as well as the dialogue between state and society has increased. But there is still a greater adherence to these arenas of civil society, so we are treading the path where citizens can finally understand and make use of participatory mechanisms in pursuit of a freer, more just and caring society, currently desired by all.
