Abstract
Social Assistance has historically been attributed a marginal place with regard to social rights within the context of Brazilian social policies. Changes, such as the institutional innovation of the 1988 Brazilian Constitution and the legislation on the organization of this policy (Organic Law of Social Assistance or LOAS, and National Policy of Social Assistance or PNAS), have recently been introduced. Current assay pinpoints the institutional specificity of Social Assistance as a public policy within the context of Brazilian social protection. The implementation of the Social Assistance System (SUAS) in the northern region of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, is analyzed. The institutional innovations of Social Assistance and the main characteristics of state capacity are related and data collected within the researched region will be investigated, with special attention to the implementation of the public policy of Social Assistance in the northern region of Minas Gerais.
