O Cebrap lançava, então, o segundo número de sua revista, à época denominada Estudos Cebrap. Como carro-chefe, oferecia ao leitor um longo ensaio de quase oitenta páginas que, nos dias atuais, seria certamente recusado por dez entre dez editores. Um artigo tão cônscio de sua ousadia que, já na frase de abertura, deixava claro o alcance almejado: A perspectiva deste trabalho é a de contribuir para a revisão do modo de pensar a economia brasileira, na etapa em que a industrialização passa a ser o setor-chave para a dinâmica do sistema, isto é, para efeitos práticos, após a Revolução de 1930.

Movimentos sociais e institucionalização: políticas sociais, raça e gênero no Brasil pós-transição, 2019
Social movements and institutionalization: social policies, race and gender in post-transition Br... more Social movements and institutionalization: social policies, race and gender in post-transition Brazil is a book that brings significant contributions to studies on democracy, collective action, and processes of institutionalization. It provides an analytical framework of historical events regarding social movements across different arenas of Brazil since its democratization. The country is well known for its examples of participative spaces, which have molded new relationships between the state and civil society, impacting agenda setting, the formulation and implementation of public policies, and presenting the limits and complexities involved in these processes, which are described in great detail throughout the book. The dynamics of institutionalization, the processes through which social movements, ideas, categories, or tools become institutionalized, are the focus of the several analyzed cases from various policy fields. Since there is not a widely accepted definition of institutions, there is much controversy in the literature surrounding what exactly an institution might be. In general, however, it is possible to rely on a broad definition that includes both the formal organizations and formal and informal procedures and rules that structure behaviors.

Aunque haya sido formulada y aprobada en los años 1970, fue sólo a finales de los ‘90 que la CEDAW comenzó a ser utilizada sistemáticamente por los Estados Partes para la comunicación de sus progresos y esfuerzos – legislativos y/o administrativos, por ejemplo – respecto a la lucha contra la desigualdad de género. Por otro lado, la Convención establece el Comité de la CEDAW, un órgano de experts cuya función es supervisar los informes de carácter oficial, así como recibir quejas producidas por organizaciones de la sociedad civil (quejas llamadas de informe sombra, alternativo o contra-informe). El trabajo tiene como objetivo reconstruir la forma de actuación de los movimientos feminista y de mujeres en Paraguay y en Brasil, los cuales han realizado los contra-informes en respuesta a los informes oficiales de los años 2002 y 2004. El texto presenta las principales actrices involucradas en dichos contra-informes y su nivel de relación con sus respectivos estados, y sobre la base de la aproximación entre ambos informes civiles, se pretende argumentar que las prácticas de seguimiento y de control ahí desarroladas Funcionan como una interfaz internacional comunicativa.

It analyses the period between 1987, when feminism emerges in the country, and 2008, after the three presidential administrations of Partido Colorado, comprehending the time of political transition, a process known as "abertura" (opening), between 1989 and 1992. The analytical assumptions are based on the so-called key for the democratic construction paradigm, whose theoretical and analytical shifts contributed to the development of the comprehension of the role of social movements in re(democratisation) scenarios in Latin American. The interpretive key that adds to the theory of political process, especially its notion of political opportunity, was also part of the theoretical framework of the dissertation. After addressing some aspects that were institutionally and ideologically constitutive of the late Paraguayan authoritarianism, the dissertation focuses on to the moments in which feminist organizations interact with state institutions, bringing their demands, arguments and projects. The observation of these interactions is grounded on the double hypothesis that they lead to the incorporation of 'gender' by the State (or "gendered" State) and that they did not undermine the 'autonomy' of the civil actors. At the same time this hypothesis takes shape along the chapters, the text also debates with the prevailing view of democracy as 'steps toward consolidolion'.The actions, claims and interaction of the organisations and networks that constituted (and still do) the Paraguayan feminism, were the privileged empirical instances to verify the reach and the limits of the hypothesis and to criticise this latter point of view. These organisations and networks are: the Grupo-Taller, the Coordinación de Mujeres del Paraguay, the Multisectorial de Mujeres del Paraguay, the Red de Mujeres Políticas, the Coordinadora Nacional de Mujeres Trabajadoras Rurales e Indígenas (CONAMURI), and the Comité de América Latina y el Caribe para la Defensa de los Derechos de la Mujer (CLADEM-Paraguai). The observation of interactions between feminist organizations and institutions shows that the Paraguayan State has incorporated the 'gender' (as a concept and a practice), although such incorporation has been concentrated in parts of the Executive fabric and limited by factors such as institutional legacy, disputes inside the Partido Colorado for the presidency of the republic, and as for the Catholic counter-reaction. Moreover, these interactions have not had the effect of tarnishing the "autonomy" of the feminist movement, understood as the ability to criticize and control the State, but it seems that the intensification of the social-State interactions, radically transforms the understanding of the meanings of autonomy . As a whole, from the case of the feminist movement, the thesis illuminates a public theme process and an active sociability conquered, as well as the public-State innovations, usually neglected or not observed by the specialized bibliography, but that shape the bases from which the democratization of Paraguay has been disputed.

Civil society, social movements and participatory democracy literature have engaged in revising its underpinning assumptions in order to build a comprehensive diagnosis of such changes. This article presents a critical appraisal of the trends and theoretical innovations on the state-civil society contemporary Brazilian debate. It specifically examines a recent comprehensive diagnosis that updates some important conventional ideas about the Brazilian civil society. Such diagnosis describes and grasps the meaning of such changes as a historical shift between two moments: from an autonomous to an interdependent civil society vis-à-vis the state. We challenge such ideas from the standpoint of a relational and historical approach of state-civil society relation as mutually constitutive and drawing on an extensive literature review of both recent empirical studies on Brazilian civil society and sound grounded theory building diagnosis. We show that the ideas of the late birth of Brazilian civil society, the non relation between civil society, and political parties and the state during dictatorship, as well as the interdependence between them as a recent phenomena are conceptually and empirically flawed. Overall, we show the analytical benefits of an interactive and relational approach of state civil society interactions and autonomy.

It departs from the original notion of countermovement and it is inspired by feminist critics of publicprivate dichotomy. After presenting the immediate reactions to the dismissal of Lugo, the article discusses the political usages of presidential paternity cases, and the performance of 'pro-life' groups of 'Queremos papá y mamá' countermovement. The analysis of these cases shows the relationship between patterns of gender and religious values. In a moral vein, this relationship shapes Lugo's 'poor performance' and completed the trial of former Paraguayan president. At the end, it is suggested the entry of both, the movement/ countermovement dynamics and the religious conservative actors in the social movements analysis.
