Resumo: This work is a doctoral thesis and is part of the Requirement$ leading to a PhD degree at PUC-SP. Its subject is the Brazilian Social Security Management, focusing especially on social insurance. The main issue treated is: Is it possible to consolidate social security as a public policy or is it going to be submitted to market strategies and therefore to be reduced to the condition of subsidiary of private business sphere? In other words, the hypothesis is the following: In the midst of the tension between the project of public social security consolidation and the incrementalist privatization strategies, Latin American, and specifically Brazilian historical circumstances point out towards hybrid management models, combining State and market actions, favoring the latter, as part of the neo-liberal attack. Based on the critical social theory, under the perspective of the democratic and popular society project, this research followed the foregoing methodological principles: historical approach of its object and the confronting projects in the social, political and institutional arena; the connection between politics and economy, and the social security concept as an expression of social relations, accepting the postulate that the State, economy and social security reforms are impossible to apprehend if they are displaced of the wider processes determined by the supranational capitalist crisis. The first chapter consists of the main theoretical, conceptual and historical references used in the research, where contemporary society trends are highlighted. The second one consists of an evaluation of the state of the art in Social Management within contemporary capitalism. The third chapter deals with ongoing social security reforms in Latin America, within the context of neo-liberal adjustments. The fourth chapter analyses the "new" ways of social management in Brazil, approaching the State-Society relationship and the tendency to formulate hybrid or mixed social management models, favoring the market. The last chapter deals with the controversy raised about the continuity of the Brazilian social security reform, started in 1998. It was possible to apprehend that the reform proposed, which is now under discussion in the National Congress, at the same time conceals and reveals interests beyond the public social security system, disconnects politics from economics, reduces the conception of social security to financial and accounting calculations, isolates the deficit issue from the set of issues related to financing of State actions, subordinates itself to The World Bank and IMF determinations, neglects the re-distributive role of social policies, thus representing an additional way of confiscating the workers, and opposing the workers of the public and private sectors. It is legitimate and proper, therefore, to defend a public, solidary, universal and democratic social security system that depends on economic growth and creation of employment, without being subordinate to market dictatorship, specifically in its financial scope.
