Le pouvoir d'une idée entre luttes institutionnelles et luttes sociales : étude de l'évolution du droit à la ville au Brésil
In Brazil, the institutionalization of the idea of the right to the city resulted in the promulgation of two articles in the Constitution in 1988 as well as the promulgation of the law of the "Statute of the City" in 2001. The institutionalization of this idea is the result of long mobilizations of urban social movements during the 1990s. However, despite the institutionalization of the idea of the right to the city, its implementation is poorly ensured by the Brazilian state as expected by Civil society. Faced with this issue, this thesis intends to observe the ideational change of the idea of the right to the city, in its trajectory of institutionalization, as an idea of public policy carried by actors of civil society from the Brazilian left. This analysis starts from the scientific postulates according to which the influence of ideas is underestimated in neo-institutional theories. The actors of the institution and those outside it, by conveying and fighting for ideas, also contribute to their change. Thus, from semi-structured interviews carried out during a research field in Río de Janeiro as well as an archive analysis, I empirically test the articulation of the framing mechanism around the idea of the right to the city.
