SUMMARY:

The international transit of principles and practices of urban policy is the main theme of this thesis, developed through the critical thinking on the processes of dispute over hegemony for a political project whose nucleus is the defense of the right to the city. That project is based on ethical-political principles built in the struggles for urban reform which was begun in the 1960s and strengthened in the course of democratic transition in Brazil, especially when the 1988 Federal Constitution was promulgated. Incorporated into the Brazilian Law with the approval of the Law 10,257/2001 – City Statute – and Provisional Measure 2,220/2001, the right to the city guides the agenda of organizations and movements gathered in the National Forum of Urban Reform and of other social agents connected to the urban agenda. Since the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (Eco 92), the National Forum of Urban Reform has played a leading part in articulating with international entities and networks to expand the struggles for the right to the city. The international forums and United Nations (UN) programs and agencies have become arenas to forward the principles and propositions brought in the 2005 World Charter for the Right to the City, a reference document for ethical-political and programmatic alignment, and articulations have occurred through the Global Platform for the Right to the City since 2014. Militancy in the international setting becomes part of the National Forum of Urban Reform agenda, not always composing processes related to the dynamics and guidelines of its domestic agenda. These interactions and the processes involved in the transit of urban policy principles and practices are observed from the Brazilian experience and its expansion in the international sphere. On theoretical and methodological grounds, it is at the confluence of the right to the city, under discussion from Lefebvre’s founding formulations, and the production of hegemony referred by Gramsci, that the plots linking different actors, agencies, ideas and practices are problematized. The connections and routes between urban policy principles and practices elaborated in Brazil and in the international sphere are discussed here, supported by documentary research and testimonies of social agents mobilized by the right to the city. The results point out to the enunciation of the right to the city as a political project in Brazil which is in constant development - with solidified principles and political actions combined by the movements of the political forces in act - and central in the larger project of extending democracy as opposed to the political, social and territorial effects of the neoliberal project. They also bring evidence of the urban policy prominence, of the leading role of Brazilian social agents in the international debates in this field and of the praxis relevance in this sphere to strengthen the political ideas of the right to the city as the public dimension and expression of democracy in the city. Right to the city: neither law, nor thing.
