Abstract

New social movements support a process of democratization of Brazilian society and polity, which challenges authoritarian political and cultural traditions and conservative government policies. This paper describes a recent new social movement in Brazil (Part 1), reviews some interpretations about the earlier emergence of new social movements in Europe (Part 2), relates these interpretations to similar movements in Brazil during and after the process of formal democratization (Part 3), and comments on current comparisons between institutional/cultural problems in Brazil and other processes of democratization in the Mercosur (especially Uruguay) (Part 4).
