Resumo: For the majority of citizens political participation in democracy requires just voting in periodical elections. However, this comprehension of participation has been pressed by theorists that defend the development of democracy by the deepening of citizens participation and by the increase of public service deficiency to satisfy social needs. Innovative participative practices, which challenge established concepts, have been more and more present in the performance of civil society organizations. On the other hand, social organizations have become privileged spaces to discuss and support public interest objectives. This paper discusses the ways social organizations of Salvador (BA, Brazil) participate politically. The methodology encompassed interviews with 44 organizations. The main results show that: (i) the observation of social organizations political participation requires new patterns of analysis to overcome traditional factors as “electoral participation”, “party identification” and “reliance in institutions”; (ii) the new patterns of analysis must aggregate new actors to those factors; (iii) among the main forms of participation there are those lined up to the concepts of the so called deliberative democracy, as, for example, the valorization of public debates; (iv) there are changes in the political participation ways of these organizations, mainly in the sense of the development and the variety they express themselves.

Essa compreensão de participação, no entanto, vem sendo pressionada tanto por discussões teóricas, que defendem o desenvolvimento da democracia pelo aprofundamento da participação, quanto por deficiências crescentes dos poderes públicos no atendimento das necessidades sociais. Em decorrência, práticas participativas inovadoras, que desafiam os conceitos estabelecidos, têm estado cada vez mais presentes na atuação de organizações da sociedade civil. Como um agir eminentemente coletivo, a política democrática tem encontrado em associações voluntárias da sociedade espaços privilegiados para a interlocução, discussão e apoio para causas de interesse público. Este trabalho discute as formas de participação política praticadas pelas organizações da sociedade civil em Salvador, Bahia. Os procedimentos metodológicos envolveram levantamento bibliográfico sobre os temas que permeiam o trabalho e entrevistas com 44 organizações da sociedade civil em Salvador. Os principais resultados apontam que: (i) a observação da participação política entre organizações da sociedade civil requer novos padrões de análise que superem os tradicionais fatores: “participação eleitoral”, “identificação partidária” e “confiança nas instituições”; (ii) esses novos padrões de análise devem agregar àqueles fatores a existência de novos atores atuantes e interessados pelo cenário político (iii) dentre as principais formas de participação política encontram-se aquelas alinhadas com os conceitos da chamada democracia deliberativa, a exemplo da valorização dos espaços de discussão pública, como os fóruns; (iv) há mudanças nas formas de participação política das organizações, principalmente no sentidodo incremento e variedade como se manifestam.Verso e Reverso2012-02-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/versoereverso/article/view/ver.2012.26.61.0110.4013/ver.2012.26.61.01Verso e Reverso; v. 26 n. 61: Ano XXVI - 2012/1; 2-141806-6925reponame:Verso e Reverso (Online)instname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:UNISINOSporhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/versoereverso/article/view/ver.2012.26.61.01/732Borges, JussaraJambeiro, Othoninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-01-16T14:08:20Zoai:ojs2.revistas.unisinos.br:article/1804Revistahttp://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/versoereversoPRIhttp://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/versoereverso/oaiperiodicos@unisinos.br||bmarocco@unisinos.br1806-69250103-1414opendoar:2013-01-16T14:08:20Verso e Reverso (Online) - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false
