A implementação da Lei Complementar nº 131/2009 (Lei da Transparência) dos estados do Nordeste do Brasil: uma análise da sua eficácia como instrumento de controle social e cidadania

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the implementation of complementary law nº 131/2009 (transparency law) in the northeastern states of Brazil: an analysis of its effectiveness as an instrument of social control and citizenship. The law provides for the release of real-time information on budget and financial execution. With the enactment of the law, there was an unparalleled advance in Brazilian democracy, however, the effectiveness on the part of the State Power is not enough, since the data must be kept in an understandable way for effective social control. The methodology of this work included bibliographic consultations, scientific articles, monographs, as well as analysis of the transparency portals of the northeastern states in order to assess the effectiveness of the transparency law. The results showed that most of the licensed states are in compliance with the transparency law, however, they fall short in terms of understanding and use for the citizen.
