Resumo

This study aims to reconcile two areas in Political Science whose interplay among themselves is a largely unexplored subject in this literature: contentious politics and public policy. Further, it aims at investigating in theoretic grounds the impact of activist practices in governmental agenda setting, and empirically the conditions in which local protests claiming urban mobility affected the bus fare policy in Brazilian capitals. First of all, it promoted an theoretical investigation on (1) the relationship between activism and Political Science, (2) the dynamics of protests in studies of power and politics and (3) the role of activism on policymaking. Lastly, the study empirically researches the conditions in which the bus fare was reduced or not in seven Brazilian cities (Belém, Belo Horizonte, Goiânia, Manaus, Natal, Porto Alegre, and Salvador), considering it was a claim sustained in street protests around all Brazilian capitals that increased public transportation fare. The period of analysis were the years 2012 and 2013. Regarding the methodology, we employed Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) to comprehend the multiple conjunctural causation concerning protests and fare policy. The obtained results showed that diverse configurations produced the outcome of interest (fare reduction) and some conditions as hosting the World Cup 2014 and presenting hightest municipal human development index education stood out among others for the cases analysed.
