O programa bolsa família e o empoderamento do cidadão na aspiração por justiça social : as condicionalidades do programa brasileiro e o diálogo com o programa de transferência de renda argentino.

Abstract

The Bolsa Família Program (PBF), created in 2003, has proven to be effective to lift millions of families in conditions of extreme social vulnerability, considering the criterion of family income, to a certain resulting budgetary autonomy of the cash transfer. In view of this, this dissertation seeks to answer the following research problem: this form of state action, based on public policy conditional cash transfers, is able to promote social justice, especially through the empowerment of the most vulnerable social groups? Indeed, the first chapter introduces the specific objective of defining social justice in the modern jusphilosophical perspective, specifically from the point of view of political liberalism of John Rawls and authors that dialogue with their doctrine. The second chapter, in turn, seeks to investigate the structure and conditionalities of this Brazilian social program, pointing out the preconceptions linked to the symbolism of poverty, issues relating to gender and race / ethnicity, as well as state intervention in the beneficiary families. The third chapter proposes the examination of the Latin American panorama of public policies for poverty extinction, notably the conditional cash transfer programs in Argentina, the Asignacion Universal por Hijo para Protección Social and the Plan Jefes y Jefas de Hogar Desocupados. follows therefore that the transfer programs, such as Bolsa Família program, empower only the citizens in the social justice process, leaving the state a readjustment, since social justice, as advocated in modern theories of justice, encompassing more than the economic factor, but also the opportunity to develop the skills of all family members. The research was built with the help of hypothetical-deductive method of approach, performing the test of two hypotheses. The technique used was the literature especially the bibliographical sources originating in print and online, publishing of books, dissertations, theses and scientific papers. In addition, it used the desk research or primary sources in compiling the statistical sources such as IBGE, IPEA and ECLAC. Before the research object and the methodological approach willing, it is clear that the thesis fits the Graduate Program in Law from the University of Santa Cruz do Sul - UNISC , specifically the concentration area of social rights and public policy line search for Public Policy .
