Abstract

To better understand and assess the social public policies implemented by a government, one needs to comprehend the conception of State and social policies underlying these actions and intervention programs.

Focusing on the Marxist and neoliberal approaches of the topic, this text seeks to bring forward elements that contribute to understand this relationship.
