A agenda da equidade proposta pelos organismos multilaterais e suas inflexões no enfrentamento à questão social no Brasil

Abstract

The present dissertation deals with the contemporary determinations to the confrontation of “the social question”, in Brazil, by means of the social policies to address poverty practiced by the petistas governments. Our objetive was to analyze which were the proposals by multilateral organizations (ECLAC and the World Bank) that, guided by the principle of equity, create a new framework of social policies, mainly to the dependent capitalist nations; and that also had as objective to relate how these proposals were implemented in Brazil. The relevance of this study is justified because it contributes to unveil some links, related to the creation of capital in its new phase as the neoliberal offensive, that attained in the conception of the Brazilian social policies of the presented context, acclaimed by many as the period in which it was made possible to align economic growth with social equity. Our research was of theoretical and documental hallmark and it analyzed, by means of successive approximations, the data originated by documental and bibliographic gathering. The found results point out as the main tendencies: the social polices practiced in Brazil in this context, to the molds of equity, privileged a minimalist notion of social policy focused on the combat to the extreme poverty by means of income transfer programs, in one hand; and, in the other, strengthened the notion of “opportunities equality” by the access to social policies, specially to superior education, via the market; in which both weren’t capable of overcoming the inequalities in the country.
