SUMMARY:

The central objective of this research is to discuss the role played by the Social Democratic Party (PDS) in the initial years of its formation (1979-1982). By analyzing the factors that stimulated the end of the Brazilian two-party system, in force between 1966 and 1979, and the adoption of a new multi-party logic, the dissertation sought to answer the following questions: what was the behavior of the PDS during the initial years of the João Figueiredo government? Did the party have an approach to Brazilian political opposition parties? What was the behavior of the PDS and its performance within the Legislative during the Brazilian political opening project? Was there autonomy between the military and the party's project? The definition of a party adopted here follows the guidance proposed by the following authors: Maurice Duverger, Joseph Lapalombara & Myron Weiner, and Jean Charlot. The central hypothesis defended is that despite having a well-defined political program, the Social Democratic Party did not actually manage to exercise autonomy in its political decisions vis-à-vis the government. In the construction of this study, a set of sources of varied nature was mobilized, such as newspapers; the personal archives of Ernesto Geisel and Ernani do Amaral Peixoto; and the documents related to the electoral results elaborated by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE).
