Resumo
Among the main concerns is the recovery of the redemocratization occurred in Brazil in the 1970s and 1980s which increased in legal frameworks of the 1988 Constitution, the limits of representative democracy in the country opening up possibilities for the creation of public spaces where state and society civil can share power and dispute interests according to their political projects. Examines the dynamic interaction and competition between different political projects in the discussion of the Participatory Budget (PB) in the municipality of Vila Velha -ES in the period of 1984 to 2008, and understand how these interactions and disputes between different political projects oriented decisions in PB, through systematic observation of meetings and forums of delegates, interviews with key informants about the subject, and documentary research. Data collected were analyzed through a critical reading of reality, taking into account the dialectical and historical study of the facts. The results show that the dispute between the political projects in the PB is crossed by the conservatism present in the political culture of the country, and this fact prevents that PB be a tool of radicalization and expansion of democracy in the city. Although in the early experience of the council has strong associative capacity, the clientelistic practices and private governments around the policy decisions, prevented the PB could have positive results, causing the weakening of the popular movement, the reduction of participation in budgeting and depoliticisation this area, strengthening the private negotiations on public interests. Among the results is the need for reorganization of civil society, in the sense of transform the PB an instrument of social transformation, negotiation of interests and development of public policies that meet the needs of the most. For the construction and improvement of democracy in Brazil is essential to expand the channels of participation in which actors of civil society and the state may, indeed, share power and run your interests.
