Abstract

We propose this research to contribute to the debate on political participation, with the object of study the manifestations of socio-territorial movements of the field in the state of São Paulo and the claimed public policy, to better understand the agrarian question and the rural territorial development. We believe these actions within the campaign for and on land, as well as claim territories that materialize in rural settlements, movements also claim public policies aimed at developing the conquered territories. Using the Banco de Dados da Luta pela Terra (DATALUTA), bibliographic sources, documentary and field work, carried out a study of the manifestations of the period 2000-2012, with the spatial area the state of São Paulo. With the data of the demonstrations and their claims conducted fieldwork in two rural settlements in São Paulo: the settlement \"Gleba XV de Novembro\" in the municipalities of Euclides da Cunha Paulista and Rosana, and the settlement \"Fazenda Reunidas\", in municipality of Promissão. The intention was to check whether there was a relationship between the claimed in recent years and the public policies implemented in these territories. The objective of this project is to understand the importance of peasant demonstrations as political participation of organized movements to claim, definition and implementation of public policies for their territories.
