RESUMO O Marco Civil da Internet (MCI), aprovado em abril de 2014, foi resultado de um longo processo de elaboração e discussão que enfrentou a resistência de vários setores e o apoio de novos atores emergentes. Este artigo analisa a história da construção da lei e traça a emergência de um ativismo em prol de direitos na internet que ultrapassou a fronteira entre sociedade civil e Estado. O mapeamento e o estudo da rede de ativismo permitiu mostrar como os atores-chave mobilizaram o Estado, atuaram dentro e fora das esferas de governo, modificaram pautas legislativas, abriram e aproveitaram oportunidades políticas na formulação do Marco Civil.Palavras-chave: Marco Civil; Políticas Públicas; Movimentos Sociais; Redes Sociais; Agenda-Setting.ABSTRACT The Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet (MCI), approved in April 2014, was the result of a long process that faced resistance from various sectors and, at the same time, received the support of emergent actors. This article analyzes the history of the MCI and the emergence of activism in favor of internet rights. This movement transcended the boundaries between civil society and the State. The study on the activists' network shows how key stakeholders mobilized the State, acting inside and outside government instances, modified legislative agendas and took advantage of political opportunities in the formulation of the Framework.Keywords: Civil Rights Framework for the Internet; Public Policy; Social Movements; Social Networks.
This paper firstly provides an ethnographic account of the dynamic of events in Geneva in 2004, when meetings of various multilateral agencies and global civil society organizations were held simultaneously to discuss the proposal to include the Development Agenda as a key element of intellectual property rights (IPR), seeking to insert some public policy aspects into the existing legal frameworks on IPR. Secondly we describe the historical context for the emergence of the intellectual property system as global legislation, explaining how it came into being and the ways in which it intertwines with international trade, examining the extent of its impact and its interfaces with various domains of social life, including culture and knowledge.Finally, based on interviews, documents and minutes from international agency meetings, we reconstruct the three-year process of negotiating the Development Agenda at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), describing the role of its main actors. Since Brazil, a member state of the organization, assumed a lead role in promoting the Agenda, we examine the disputes that occurred during this process as political actors veered back and forth in their support for the international system to protect and enforce intellectual property rights, and the tensions generated as IPRs become barriers to the trade and development of developing nations.
