Abstract

Retracing the trajectory of social movements in Brazil from the 1970s, and taking into account the political changes in the international scene throughout the 1980s, this paper analyzes the impact of the social movements and NGOs in the fields of law and citizenship, challenging and enlarging democracy. It also evaluates the new tendencies of collective actions in the 1990s, calling attention to the articulations through the increase of forums and networks in sub-national and international contexts (for instance the World Social Forum). Finally, it discusses the growing participation of civil society in social control as took place with the public policy councils. Key-words: democracy, social movements, NGOs.
