The relationship between some popular participation models Russian, Cuban and Venezuelan

Abstract

The objective of the research was to present a comparative historical study on the form of protagonist participation of society as part of a management model within society and linked to the State. In Venezuela, the Communal Councils were created and given legal status with a law published in 2006; However, this study has investigated its historical origins, taking the figure of the Soviets of Russia and the People's Councils of Cuba as antecedents of its creation in Venezuela. The methodological approach was documentary. In conclusion, the soviets arose spontaneously among the striking workers during 1905, as coordinating bodies of the union struggle (workers' commissions) by factories, in charge of directing the strike; The Popular Councils of Cuba act as watchdogs and as important pieces in community participation in the solution of their problems, and the Communal Councils of Venezuela are participation bodies that carry out and promote the realization of activities of general community interest, reaching some to administer public resources, being obliged to keep records and to render accounts of that management of public patrimony.
