Abstract

Political parties are central organizations in political regimes. They went through transformations and were able to survive revolutions, wars and changes in society. Many theorized about the parties. Duverger dealt with cadre and mass parties, Panebianco with bureaucratic mass parties and electoral professionals, Kirchheimer bequeathed us the catch-all model, Katz and Mair presented the cartel party, Hopkin and Paolucci proposed the entrepreneurial party and Ghunter and Diamond established fifteen kinds of parties. It is possible to classify the parties in the different typologies, we observe in Brazil a phenomenon that does not seem to be contemplated by any model. We are referring to movements like RenovaBR, o MBL, o Agora!, Acredito e Livres, among others. The objective of this work is to investigate these groupings, trying to fit them into a theoretical model and seek to understand their role in relation to established parties, whether they are partners or challengers. The research adopts a qualitative methodology with in-depth interviews with leaders of supra-party movements. The conclusions indicate that these movements pose challenges to the parties by prioritizing political formation, ideological positioning and the formulation of public policies, but that their action has been more in the sense of forming qualified cadres for the parties than challenging them.
