With the rise of the left in Latin America to the power, which occurred
mainly in the early 2000s, this paper aims to analyze how occurred the promotion of the political
participation, as well as the expansion of decision-making spaces, and the changes of the
structures of authority in the governments of left. So that, we examine e process of adoption
of national policies participation in four different countries: Brazil, Venezuela, Uruguay and
Bolivia. The participatory policies have been implemented in different ways, with different
relational models between the State and society. Thus, we developed a typology based on
three analytical categories, about the promotion of the predominant participation in these
four countries: design and dynamic participation; involvement of civil society; and its shape
and configuration. We seek to distinguish the reasons and procedural analytical events that
justify the position of each country in these ideal-types spectral. This distinction occur mainly
in the form of the leftist party came to power, the party system in the country, and linkages
and social bases established by the respective parties, etc. Finally, it presents new research
agendas regarding the field of the political participation in Latin America. The new research
agendas are the relationship that the political participation operates within the Legislative
power, the idea of political representation inserted in these democratic innovations, and the
need to develop new studies on this theme by looking at this new phenomenon of the right
turn emerging in the Latin American region.
