Legitimacy and effectiveness in institutional arrangements in public policies: the housing program My House My Life
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper questions whether the arrangements of the country’s new housing program called “My House My Life” (PMCMV) are democratic and effective. In other words, if they encourage the broader participation of numerous players and if they favor the proposed targets being implemented and achieved. The empirical research showed that such arrangements were indeed favorable in terms of achieving the targets, but that they present democratic shortcomings to the extent that the demands of the relevant social players in the area, as popular movements and organized groups of specialists in urban topics, have not, in fact, been considered.
