The standard theory of the success of participation points to its positive impact on the political system. However, since 2013 Brazil has been experiencing some important changes regarding both participation and representation. In regard to representation, the strengthening of conservative forces in Congress is taking place because of a large increase in private financing. We are also seeing that participation alone cannot change the composition of the system of representation. The events that occurred in Brazil in June 2013, which led to changes in the patterns of social participation, have attracted attention worldwide. The aim of this paper is to analyze these changes in Brazil and point out how they influenced the country s political system and impacted the organization of Brazilian democracy. The data show how MPL presented its demands without politicizing them, keeping itself a single-issue movement (Figure 1). They also show how MBL politicized the movement (Figure 2), transforming it into an anti-corruption movement positioned against president Dilma Rousseff. O Brasil se tornou uma referência na participação social após o sucesso do orçamento participativo no início dos anos 1990. A teoria padrão do sucesso da participação aponta seu impacto positivo sobre o sistema político. No entanto, o Brasil tem experimentado algumas mudanças importantes no nível tanto de participação como de representação desde 2013. No que diz respeito à representação, o fortalecimento das forças conservadoras no Congresso está ocorrendo devido a um aumento no financiamento privado. Estamos vendo também que a participação por si só não pode mudar a composição do sistema de representação. O Brasil atraiu a atenção mundial de eventos ocorridos em junho de 2013, o que causou mudanças nos padrões de participação social. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as mudanças no Brasil e apontar como elas influenciaram o sistema político do país e afetaram a organização da democracia brasileira. Os dados mostram a forma como o MPL apresentou as suas demandas sem politizá-las (Figura 1) e como o MBL politizou as demandas feitas em junho de 2013 (Figura 2) organizando um movimento contra a corrupção e contra a presidente Dilma Rousseff. Brasil se ha convertido en una referencia en lo que respecta a la participación social luego del éxito del presupuesto participativo en los inicios de los años noventa. La teoría más difundida sobre el éxito de la participación destaca su impacto positivo en el sistema político. Sin embargo, Brasil ha experimentado algunos cambios importantes tanto en el nivel de la participación como en el de la representación desde 2013. Por un lado, con respecto a la representación, ha tenido lugar un fortalecimiento de fuerzas conservadoras en el Congreso, debido a un enorme aumento del financiamiento privado. Se observa también que la participación no puede por sí sola transformar la composición del sistema de representación. Por otro lado, Brasil ha atraído la atención del mundo entero por los acontecimientos ocurridos en junio de 2013, que produjeron cambios en los patrones de participación social. El propósito de este artículo es analizar ambos cambios en Brasil y mostrar cómo los mismos han influido en el sistema político del país e impactado en la organización de la democracia brasileña. Los datos muestran como el MPL presentó sus demandas sin politizarlas (Figura 1) y como el MBL politizó las demandas hechas en junio del 2013 (Figura 2) transformándolas en un movimiento contra la corrupción y contra la presidente Dilma Rousseff. Le Brésil est devenu une référence dans la participation sociale après le succès du budget participatif pendant le début des années 1990. La théorie traditionnelle sur le succès de la participation indique son effet positif sur le système politique. Cependant, le Brésil a connu quelques changements importants soit au niveau de la participation, soit au niveau de la représentation dès 2013. En ce qui concerne la représentation, le renforcement des forces conservatrices au Congrès se déroule en raison d une augmentation considérable des financements privés. On constate également que la participation seule ne peut pas changer la composition du système de représentation. Le Brésil a attiré l attention du monde entier à la suite des événements survenus en juin 2013, qui ont entraîné des changements dans les schémas de participation sociale. L objectif de cet article est d analyser ces deux changements au Brésil et d indiquer comment ils ont influencé le système politique du pays et ont affecté l organisation de la démocratie brésilienne. Les données montrent de quelle façon le MPL a présenté ses demandes sans les politiser (Figure 1) et comment le MBL a politisé les demandes faites en juin 2013 (Figure 2) organisant alors un mouvement contre la corruption et contre la présidente Dilma Rousseff. 2017-11-16T17:55:22Z 2017-11-16T17:55:22Z 2017 Artigo AVRITZER, Leonardo.
