The objective of this research is to analyze the process of mobilization and participation of organized segments of the civil society on the implementation of the policy for Food and Nutritional Security (Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional - SAN) in the municipality of Guarapuava-PR, in the sense of effectiveness of elements of the participative democracy. Due to the characteristics of the object of study, this is a qualitative research, of exploratory character, which used the following research instruments to reach its objective: review of literature; documental analysis; semi-structured interview; and content analysis. It was decided to interview representative subjects of the organized segments of the civil society who have been significant to the process experienced in the municipality and, besides them, representative subjects of the governmental sector who have contributed with their experiences in the research area. This study is organized into three chapters. The first chapter presents the contextual and legal marks for food and nutritional security in Brazil. It contextualizes the Brazilian social inequality and relates it to the issue of food and nutritional security, which is theoretically conceptualized and analyzed in its trajectory in Brazil. In the second chapter, as theoretical elements that surround the research field, there are presented the theoretical foundation about the civil society; the Gramsci’s conception of enlarged State; the participative democracy; and the issue of Brazilian democratization, which mixes participative and representative procedures. The third chapter analyzes, in the research’s empirical context, the process of mobilization and participation on the policy for Food and Nutritional Security in Guarapuava, identifying that it has been constituted a process contradictorily permeated by limits and potentialities. As well as in other areas of social policies, given the absence of actions of the governmental public power, the civil society has a few specific individualities that characterize its participation and mobilization around actions that enable the strengthening of access to the right to food.
