Instituto internacional da cultura de paz e as repercussões de suas práticas no desenvolvimento brasileiro

Abstract

This paper discusses a relationship between the Culture of Peace and the repercussions of its practices on Brazilian development. In a list of studies on restorative practices, there is no literature evidence that relation it with socioeconomic development. Initially, the research analyzes the Brazilian democratic uniqueness, the process of inclusion / exclusion of citizens, subcession of education and the inoperability of the Constitution as a mechanism that reduces violence. The following parte is a comparative-statistical analysis on violence that analyses the number of homicides in adolescence in period between 2003 and 2015. In this sense, the objective is to confirm or to refute the hypothesis brought by UNESCO which categorizes education as the principal mechanism for establishing peace and driving development. The research uses as a theoretical reference on peace Johan Galtung's theory. It also analyzes international and national normative documents that describe the culture of peace. Finally, the study investigates restorative practices in schools, especially in the States of Ceará and the State of São Paulo and the inflows of it in the construction of social pacification, school absenteeism and socioeconomic environment. The research is predominantly of the documentary and bibliographic type, involving the descriptive, dialectical, theoretical and empirical approach. A qualitative methodology was used. The explored documentation, in addition to the constitutional diploma, includes international documents and conventions and additional diplomas, as well as guidelines for implementing restoration practices in certain domains. In this context, there is no just law literature for evaluation. There was also contact with other scientific spheres - among them sociology, economy and education - in order to obtain knowledge of concepts, potentialities and limits that surround the constitutional system and the scope and effectiveness of restorative practices in an educational environment. There is a reduction in the phenomenon of violence in schools. There are also signs of cooling in situations of conflict and student indiscipline. Finally, there is a reduction in school absenteeism and a direct relation between this phenomenon and the promotion of socialeconomic development.
