A critical analysis of Civil Society action

Based on Gramisci's theory of the Expanded State it is proposed to analyse Civil Society as a set of private apparatuses that disseminate a certain intellectual and moral direction of a particular class. From this perspective we sought to analyse the participation of civil society in the context of the re-democratisation of Brazil. What societal project did Organised Civil Society defend in this period? What contradictions permeated the democratic discourse? Did organised civil society contribute to the break with the dictatorship? These questions will be analysed in this book.
