What is meant by Democracy has varied in time and space, in terms of its details and manifestations, but has it core in affirming the equality and freedom of the individuals who form the Society. We identified that the new technologies and the relationships influenced by them modified social interactions, transforming, consequently, popular manifestations and, finally, Democracy itself. We understand as Digital Instruments for Democratic Participation (IDPD): social networks, applications, digital communication platforms applied to social interaction. In order to face these changes, we applied two classification formats: one relating to the forms of popular representation and participation and the other to the quality and intensity of Democracy. New technologies create and modify relationships and become modifiers of society, their occurrence and their use and admission as a social and political vector is a consequence of their adoption by the population. The question is how these digital technological instruments of democratic participation can play an important role in the democratic game, whether in Brazilian or Italian society. The methodology used in this dissertation is the theoretical-discursive, which uses a critical approach, clarifying the reasons and possible applications, as well as possible consequences, positive or negative, of the use of these instruments in the intensity and quality of democratic participation. The objective is to map what already exists in a regulated way in Brazil in the three branches, as well as to identify difficulties for a broader adoption in order to increase democratic participation, including recognizing the risk of spectacularization and decay in a Plebiscitary Democracy. Examples of Digital Instruments for Democratic Participation (IDPD) to be analyzed are Mudamos+ (RJ BR), which works with the Popular Initiative, and the Rousseau Platform (Italy), which until then basically worked for referendums, referenda and consultations. In the development of the research, we will critically point out its characteristics, its implementation, the inherent advantages and risks. Finally, we will indicate some forecasts in view of the scenario that is being built in politics in view of the impact of new technologies.
