摘要:In the last years Brazil has done periodical elections to executive and legislative political branches, with candidates affiliated to political parties, with none of them achieving popular confidence. Criticism to the limits of representative institutions has taken to the proposal of new instruments and alternative spaces of popular participation. New forms of intervention in public power decisions have been emerged in the last two decades. The aim of this article is analyzing the limits and possibilities of some of these new ways of political participation.
