Públicos, problemas públicos, arenas públicas ... o que nos ensina o pragmatismo (parte 2)

Abstract

The notion of public was placed back to the agenda by Jürgen Habermas and has generated multiple researches about public space and public opinion. In this article I discuss the concept of public arena and the creation of a pragmatic perspective that differs from researches in political science about institutional change, evolutionary learning and the development of public policies.
