RESUMO

This work intends to present and discuss the conceptions and ideas about so called "third sector". Such category will be analyzed under the perspective of brazilian civil society´s atuation and intervention plans in the country´s democratic construction. We will examine the actual usage definition for third sector, questioning its conceptual imprecise and the inclusion of ONGs on such category. Besides, we will present the connections between State and third sector´s institutions, and between these last ones and the market. We will also analyze the critical ideas about third sector: such ideas consider it as a category that contributes for the destabilization of the public state actions and for the fight for social right´s reduction. As a result, we concluded that the third sector´s actions (engaged in voluntary work) contradict the social actor´s political actions, based on the fight for citizen and social rights.
