The debate on control and democracy is gaining more and more ground in Brazil. Initially linked to Law (prioritizing the field of legality) and Administration (reflecting on efficiency), the connection with democracy gains prominence when political scientists and sociologists begin to research the multiple forms of control and dialogue with institutions and the separation of powers. In order to cover this process, we will take the following route:

1) debate on control and its multiple narratives;

2) control and democracy;

3) the institutions of control over government (our central focus);

4) broadening the debate: transparency and accountability strengthening controls.
