Public policies, democracy and racism: the role of civil society in the CNPIR

Felipe Portela Bezerra, Ângela Vieira Neves — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 00:00:00 -0300

This article analyzes the struggle for social rights carried out by representatives of civil society in the National Council for Racial Equality (CNPIR). It is a space for social participation that includes representatives of social movements and non-governmental organizations, as well as government representatives. This qualitative research was carried out from 2018 to 2021, through interviews with CNPIR members who represent civil society and document analysis of official meeting records, as well as on-site visits. The following indicators were used based on these data: associative trajectory, representativeness and activism. It was found that counselors fight for social rights by facing structural racism associated with their own associative and participatory trajectory within the Council. The identity in the social struggles and the recognition of the heterogeneity of these counselors is an important result from the analyzed data, as they are subjects who recognized themselves in the struggle, in the difference, and with the same agenda: facing structural racism, fighting for more public policies to the blacks, to articulate
with the social movements, in particular with the Black Movement, in the search for the expansion of social rights, and access and expansion of public policies in a universal way.

Janus divided: a bibliometric review of the brazilian literature on parties and public policies

André Marenco, Maurício Michel Rebello — Tue, 29 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Representative democracies need public policies and political parties. This results in a combination in which Political Science should act as an epistemic field. In this sense, this article performs a systematic bibliographic review on the relationship between political parties and public policies. From the Scielo platform, data were collected on articles that dealt with the subject. After that, Zotero, N-Vivo and VOSviewer programs were used to perform the analysis. It was found that political parties are more closely related to elections, party systems and political careers, while public policies are more closely related to bureaucracies, state capabilities and judicialization. Furthermore, the results indicate that the fields of studies of public policies and political parties have a very little relationship between them, with few articles making a joint articulation between the two terms. In this way, the need to fill this gap is affirmed, making a necessary study agenda for future generations of political scientists.

Communication and media in the Brazilian and Portuguese constitutional orders

Gustavo Melione Abreu, Marco Antonio Pessoa Veloso — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0300

The article aims to analyze, from a comparative perspective, how the topic of communication and media is addressed in the current constitutions of Brazil (CRFB/1988) and Portugal (CRP/1976). It begins by contextualizing the role of the media in general and presents criticisms of the practice of journalism in Brazil. Against this backdrop, the need to improve the functioning of media-related institutions in Brazil is highlighted. The analysis of the constitutional treatment of this issue in democratic countries emerges as a particularly relevant alternative for properly addressing it. Through a literature review and analysis of the constitutional texts, it is observed that, despite several similarities, the Brazilian and Portuguese constitutions differ especially in their approach to the regulation of the media sector.
