Abstract:

The debate on the deepening of democracy in Brazil contributed to the emergence of management councils and thematic conferences in the context of public policy. The aim of this article was to conduct a systematic literature review in order to know the factors related to the process of institutionalization of these institutions in the health field. The following databases were researched: Lilacs, Ibecs, Medline, Scielo, Paho, Psycinfo, Web of Science, Social Science and Ebsco. For the composition of the sample of 25 articles, the following descriptors were associated: Social Control, Social Participation, Consumer Participation, Community Participation, Public Participation, Citizen Participation, Political Participation, Participative Management, Participative Democracy, Deliberative Democracy with Health Councils and Health Conferences. The found results synthesize a set of categories that has impacted the participatory public spaces: representation and political capacitance, relationships among the social actors, institutional design, political culture, discourses about health/disease and the debate about democracy. The findings help to advance the understanding of such institutions, favoring the construction of alternatives committed to the strengthening of democracy in our country.
