This article discusses some views on development that emphasize universal aspects sometimes, sometimes particular aspects and its interface with public policies in Brazil.

On the other hand, rural and urban social movements, ethnic and gender specific policies claim to this effect, we identified a dilemma between universalism and particularism, as the great contemporary social issue: How to ensure the universality of rights? At the same time, meet specific demands based ondiacritics?
