“…O efeito da condição de extrema direita não sobrevive no modelo completo. Este fato também pode ser explicado pela trajetória dessas instituições, originalmente vinculadas a propostas partidárias de partidos de esquerda (Ventura, 2016).…”

In dialogue with recent developments in the literature on political behavior, the article analyzes the effects of ideological extremism and political dogmatism on the levels of activism of the São Paulo electorate. Considering the recent context of political polarization observed in Brazil, the main objective is to assess the extent to which this phenomenon contributes to accentuating the asymmetries that are already quite expressive in participatory behavior. Electoral, non-electoral and contestatory forms of political action are considered, and the main proposed predictors are extremism in ideological self-positioning, closure to dialogue, and rigidity of opinion, the latter two being taken as measures of dogmatism. Using data from the "Local Democracy Index" Project, we tested the hypotheses that extremism and dogmatism would be positively related to greater political activism and that the combination of these characteristics intensifies this relationship. The results partially confirm these hypotheses, indicating the existence of cleavage between extremists and moderates, especially regarding the left, which is more likely to engage in various forms of political involvement. As for dogmatism, contrary to our hypothesis, there were negative effects.

“…Frente a esses números, alguns autores estimam que existem, no país, mais pessoas envolvidas diretamente em conselhos gestores do que vereadores eleitos (AVRITZER, 2008;VAZ, 2012). Ventura (2016) indica que grandes contingentes são mobilizados também nas conferências temáticas, que são o mecanismo nacional de participação geralmente precedido de etapas estaduais, regionais e municipais. Estimativas apontam que, entre 2003 e 2010, cerca de 5 milhões de brasileiros participaram desses espaços.…”

“…Para além da diversidade de iniciativas e do contingente mobilizado, há de se considerar também as inovações apresentadas pelas administrações municipais do país neste campo. Autores apontam o Brasil como referência mundial na criação de inovações participativas (ABERS, 2016;VENTURA, 2016), e uma das experiências mais citadas na literatura nacional a esse respeito é a do orçamento participativo, cuja experiência em Porto Alegre/RS, no final dos anos 1980, ganhou notoriedade mundial após ter sido selecionada para se apresentar na Conferência Habitat II 2 (AVRITZER, 2003;JACOBI;TEIXEIRA, 1996;TEIXEIRA, 2012).…”

Since the 1990s, several initiatives to improve citizen participation have been created by local authorities in Brazil. Councils that monitore and propose public policies, thematic conferences that make recommendations of public policies, participatory processes for the definition of part of a municipality´s budget and public hearings to consult the population on certain topics are the most widespread examples. However, getting people to participate is not a simple task. Several factors interfere in the decision of individuals and social groups to participate. Local authorities can strengthen citizen participation, but they need to better understand the obstacles as well as the possible boosters that exist in their localities. A good assessment is the first step. Using a specific tool can help analyze various dimensions of engagement, which contribute to selecting better strategies. As there are not any tools available in Brazil at the moment, foreign instruments may be a viable alternative. This dissertation aims to validate an analytical tool, which was developed by the Council of Europe to assess processes related to public participation at the local level: the CLEAR tool. Therefore, this study relied on: i) bibliographical and documental research; ii) cross-cultural adaptation, which was done by translating and developing a workshop with experts; iii) pilot project in Barueri, a city in the state of São Paulo. The pilot project focused on participatory initiatives of the municipality's environmental department: Secretaria de Recursos Naturais e Meio Ambiente. The study demonstrates that the self-assessment process requires qualified technical knowledge and takes an average time of six months. On the other hand, it provides an opportunity for collective reflection, regarding current practices. The CLEAR tool proved to be valid for the Brazilian context, but further experiments are needed to ensure fine adjustments to our sociocultural reality.
