    Abstract

    When assuming power in 2003, Lula promised the inclusion of civil society and social movements in the policy - making sphere. It was partially addressed through the creation of councils and other act ions to protect cultural and women’s rights, for example. However, in Rousseff’s government, civil society and social movements continued to be excluded from the higher spheres of power and were not properly listened to. They have demonstrated a great inte rest in participating in and collaborating with the process of formulating public policy, as civil society members have a high attendance on forums and put forward a high number of motions on those topics. However, it is possible to observe a disconnect be tween the Workers’ Party leadership and its grassroots. Consequently, since 2012 – 2013, Brazil has entered into a political crisis, as well as an economic one, without precedent in the history of the country, as the population is angered at revelations of w idespread corruption, along with rising inflation and unemployment (Perry, 2016; Melo, 2016).
