The Public Spaces of Control and the Social Intervention

Abstract

After twenty-two year from the process that culminated on the promulgation of the 1988 Federal Constitution, it is possible to do a rereading in order to evaluate progress and retrogress on the consolidation of the country’s democratization process. Theorists and studious stand up for different positions in the sense that for some of them, the Brazilian State has been presenting significant modifications on the political, juridical, social and economical framework. On the other hand, others state that this framework is outlined by an intense retrogress in the sense that the rights were introduced on the Federal Constitution of 1988, but they were not realized by the Brazilian government. Against this paradox, this paper will present mechanisms based on scientific data aiming that the reader can be able to analyze and take a position on such scenery. This work analyzes the public spaces designated to social participation and intervention on the construction of public policies, as well as on the important decision that will affect the life of the population.
