Pluralidade da representação na América Latina

Abstract

This text highlights forms of civil collective actions organized in social movements or social networks that participate in institutionalized programs and social projects in Latin America, with emphasis on the Brazilian case in the last decade. The issues investigated are: Who are the social actors that perform these associative actions? Which public and demands they represent? What impact these demands have generated in society and in government? What answers have they got? At the end some remarks about social events that occurred in June 2013 in Brazil are made in the context of the scenarios presented throughout the text.
