The incorporation of citizens in the public sphere emerged as a democratic innovation, which gave rise to several institutions, in different environments. Several democratic systems in the world have begun to develop institutional spaces for citizen participation. Although different, Participatory Institutions (PIs) have become a reality in several countries and have brought the promise of a democracy with greater distributive capacity. In Brazil, the process was institutionalized in the three levels of the federation and in several thematic areas. Despite the diversity of approaches in participatory research, empirical research on its effects is scarce. The objective of this paper is to present and discuss the architecture of social participation in Brazil, pointing out the gaps in relations established with traditional institutions of democracy.
