To understand the policy to combat slave labor in Brazil, part is a critical benchmark of analysis that includes public policy as an extension of the relationship between State and society in capitalist society, and supported authors in the Marxist tradition, it is a theoretical and methodological route, which stretches from the state constitution oligarchic Brazil, at the time of colonial slavery, until the emergence of new forms of contemporary slavery, with content similar to the old social practices. Thus, the study presents an analysis of similarities and differences, by the executors, in the operation of the Policy to Combat Forced Labour, embodied in the Second National Plan for Eradication of Slave Labor, established in 2008. It is noteworthy, though, the contradictions identified in the survey relates to the various conceptions of the implementation of the policy that works as a limit on the application of the actions of the proposals set out in the Second Plan to Eradicate Slave Labour, thus eliminating the emancipatory possibilities workers victims of such exploitation, reflecting the absence of a state concerned with ensuring human rights and social and fragility of the Brazilian social system. There is, in the operation of political ambiguity and ambivalence among the performers, reflecting a state and a conservative society still bound by a paternalistic and patrimonial vision of labor exploitation in Brazil. This fact constitutes a fundamental limit to the operation of the policy, since it undermines the achievement of human and social rights of workers does not allow the condition to achieve autonomous Brazilian citizenship and contributes to the recurrence of workers contemporary slavery. Thus public policy to combat slave labor in Brazil is more important as a requirement to keep the ransnational politics of "good neighborliness" of the effectiveness of the promotion of citizen status for those who need it, is nothing but a sham civility that aims to maintain an image of a democratic country and willing to tackle the causes of human rights when in fact it has an internal policy that strengthens the cruel conditions of operation of a type of work and an atrocious crime of the most abject.porAcesso AbertoEscravidãoDireitos humanosPlano Nacional para Erradicação do Trabalho EscravoBrasil - PaísPolítica socialDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::CIENCIA POLITICA::POLITICAS PUBLICAS
