Financiamento de campanha eleitoral como instrumento de efetivação da democracia brasileira

Abstract

The present work proposes to analyze the financing of electoral campaigns and their impact on the construction of representative democracy in the Brazilian State. Specifically, it aims to explain the main financing systems of campaigns and their problems, to evaluate the connection between the financing and the commitment of the elected candidate. Besides that, it aims to analyze the current legal system and the Supreme Court's understanding in the light of ADI 4650's judgment. From a pragmatic perspective, the study is justified by the emerging need for transparency in the application of electoral campaign resources/funding. About methodology, the present work will use bibliographical research, in order to explain about the financing of electoral campaigns in the context of conditioning democracy. Finally, it describes the current tendency to implement a democratic campaign financing system, the Popular Initiative for Democratic Political Reform and Clean Elections Bill, as well as the Direct Unconstitutionality Action No. 4650, which are relevant to the proposed theme.
