Abstract

The objective is to understand some weaknesses and paradoxes faced
by social participation in the Brazilian experience in order to identify and explain
the persistent authoritarian phenomenon. As hypothesis, sustains itself that the
authoritarianism assumes several nuances and functions in Brazilian institutional
and social practices, specifically, the “instrumental authoritarianism” undermines
the ideas of constitution and of constitutionalism. To test these ideas, used the
inductive methodological strategy and the theoretical-bibliographic survey. To
this end, revisits the political thoughts enshrined the categories of “instrumental
authoritarianism” and of “mass people” to balance the authoritarian persistence
and the movement in the opposite direction (democratic culture). The results
authorize to affirm that the peculiarities and the difficulties faced make the

Brazilian experience unique and, specifically, the intensification of democratic

practices after the promulgation of the 1988 Constitution. Finally, in conclusion,
despite the advances, both democracy and social participation have not been
fully incorporated in the Brazilian institutional practices.
