Abstract

The research explores the social conditions that favored the construction of a particular form of activism, associated to NGOs., and its effects on the processes of public policy creation and implementation in the area of education. The research is developed through a comparative study of the biographies of the founders of two majors Brazilian NGOs very active in this field (Ação Educativa e Alfabetização Solidária). The study looks into (i) the processes by which the individuals concerned acquired the dispositions needed in activist actions; (ii) the social configuration that allowed those individuals to build the networks which gave birth to the NGOs and sustain them; (iii) the transformations in the space of public policy in the field of education, specially its contemporary pattern of internationalization, which rely strongly on those networks.
