DEMOCRACY AND SOCIETY:<br />

ADVANCES AND LIMITS OF CITIZENSHIP IN BRAZIL<br />

ABSTRACT: In the interpretation of Brazil, set up some agre<strong>em</strong>ent among leading Brazilian intellectuals of the<br />

fact that the idea of d<strong>em</strong>ocracy has no strong roots in country, nor in daily relations of society, much less in<br />

conducting the affairs of state. However, during the D<strong>em</strong>ocratic Transition (1974-1989) there were changes in<br />

Brazilian society that led to the <strong>em</strong>ergence of a new political culture in the country, forming the end of this period<br />

a broad consensus around the d<strong>em</strong>ocratic regime. However, the study of the current d<strong>em</strong>ocratic experience in<br />

Brazil has confirmed the prediction that the enforc<strong>em</strong>ent of rights and citizenship that this sch<strong>em</strong>e suggests, finds<br />

its limits in the social inequalities that constitute barriers to participation in political society.<br />

KEYWORDS: Political sience; political culture; d<strong>em</strong>ocracy in Brazil; state-society relationship.<br />
