Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar em que medida as ONGs estão contribuindo para instaurar um regime de governança democrática, particularmente nas ações desenvolvidas por duas ONGs situadas na cidade de Porto Alegre/RS. Para tanto, no referencial teórico, discute, inicialmente, o conceito de democracia – na concepção habermasiana – e de governança – na visão de Kazancigil. Sendo assim, a pesquisa foi desenvolvida com os diversos atores que fazem parte do cotidiano das ONGs: membros da comunidade, funcionários e diretoria. A parte dos resultados e discussão foi dividida em três etapas. A primeira de apresentação das ONGs. E as duas últimas vinculadas aos dois pressupostos da governança democrática: a democracia local e a participação nas instâncias de decisões.Verificou, por fim, as possibilidades e dificuldades na ampla constatação da governança democrática na promoção da transparência pública e na inclusão social das ações das ONGs.

We compare the development of the third sector in Scotland and Quebec, which have developed ecosystems that distinguish them from the liberal non-profit regimes of the UK and Canada. We employ an institutional logics framework to consider how the rules, practices, values and beliefs of these ‘stateless nations’ have formed unique structures and identities of the third sector that diverge from their broader national context. Our model demonstrates how the development of the welfare state and approaches to implementing social policy, government–third sector relationships, civic nationalism and solidarity interact in an iterative process to create distinct third sectors.
