“…Otra cuestión central radica en los formatos, que pueden conducir a agregar preferencias (reunir firmas para respaldar una propuesta como mecanismo posible), consultar sobre temáticas específicas o promover procesos deliberativos más o menos abiertos. Las consultas pueden realizarse previamente (generando temas) o sobre una propuesta de constitución (discutiendo un borrador) (Blount, 2011;Negretto, 2018;Soto y Welp, 2017;Castella, 2018).…”

Despite the increasing number of countries that have implemented deliberative processes during constitutional changes, the discussion remains open about the criteria for these processes to be deemed fair and democratic. Thus, this article first proposes some conditions related to the features of the mechanism of deliberative participation and the method of processing the resulting contents. Next an empirical analysis is carried out, focused on deliberative processes of constitutional change that were regulated and/or promoted by governments or public institutions; were opened to citizenship, excluding the ones oriented only to experts or political parties; and promoted the generation of contents compared to the merely informative or educative ones. Between 1970 and 2018, 29 processes were identified in 27 countries. The analysis identified five models of deliberative processes: symbolic, controlled, participatory overflow, constituent opening and constituent participation. The conclusions invite to go beyond the sui generis commitment to implement participatory mechanisms and replace it with the definition of minimal criteria the deliberative processes should fulfil to be considered democratic.

“…Comparative surveys of constitutional gender equality rights and provisions (including in preambles or founding principles) that recognize women also appeared (Van der Leest 2007). The theory of 'new constitutionalism', which demanded public and open participation in constitutionmaking and reform (Blount 2011), was put into practice in many countries, as new constitutions flourished in the post-Soviet era and post-apartheid South Africa, among other sites of dramatic shifts in power. The idea that constitutional design, as such, is gendered attracted attention (Sullivan 2002;Monopoli 2006;Irving 2008).…”

“…Sustentamos que a ampliação de direitos sociais e do trabalho como matéria constitucional foi influenciada pela intensificação da participação pública nos processos constituintes, em especial pela atuação de grupos de interesse, hipótese sugerida por diferentes autores (Ginsburg, Elkins, Blount, 2009: 215;Elkins, Ginsburg, Melton, 2009;Samuels, Wyeth, 2006;Blount, 2011).…”

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo é mostrar a influência da atuação de grupos de interesse na constitucionalização de direitos do trabalho durante o processo constituinte de 1987-88. Sustentamos que os interesses da classe trabalhadora foram articulados pelo Departamento Intersindical de Assessoria Parlamentar (DIAP), através de um projeto consensual para a área do trabalho, o qual foi apoiado pelas principais entidades sindicais, pelos partidos políticos de esquerda e pela parcela progressista do PMDB. Por meio da reconstrução da trajetória do DIAP mostramos como o pacto foi formado e que estratégias de lobby foram utilizadas.
