Abstract
This research has, as objective, to discuss the new process of representation and participation arising from the Brazilian 1988 Constitution’s democratic opening, specially Public Policy Councils. After all, what are the contributions, in fact, to democracy, magnifying of the debate and society empowerment proceeding from Councils? As particular object of study, it had the current management (2009-2012) of the City Council of Education of São Bernardo do Campo. The article begins with a theoretical quarrel on the representative democracy and its way until the participatory management and the advances at present time in the Brazilian case, as well as the target of the quarrel around the Councils today. A contextualization of the study object is followed, from which it unfolds the results and briefings. It was possible to observe, in this way, that the Councils still are in its organization ways, and that they still need to establish as steady institution to give an adjusted representation, established in accountability and dialogue. The practice to bring to the Council the demands of the represented categories are not yet the practical, but only the individual points of view of each counselor. For this, four fronts of optimization are considered: the communicative, institutional/managerial, the net structuring and the regulatory one.
KEYWORDS Public Policy Councils, representation, participatory management, democracy.
