Políticas públicas e processo eleitoral: reflexão a partir da democracia como projeto político

The paper reviews the relation between public policies and electoral process. It goes back to a juridical approach of public policies and debates how the electoral process relates to public policies modeling. The idea of democracy requires going further its comprehension as a status, in order to present it as a political project. Considering a typology of social guarantees is a necessary stage to respect the complexity of the subject and surpass the theory of fundamental rights as generations. Regarding Maria Paula Dallari Bucci's contribution to the study of public policies, it intends a dialogue between the lack of effectiveness of social rights and the comprehension of democracy as a political project.
