O pensamento e a formação do COMCIDADE: uma perspectiva da participação popular em Juiz de Fora

Abstract

The work analyzes the thinking and the formation of the City Council - CONCITY of Juiz de Fora, based on the convergence of two processes: on the one hand the decentralization of the Brazilian State, providing the municipalities with greater administrative autonomy, considering their particularities in the near future; and on the other, the popular participation movement in the country, strengthened in the 1988 Constitution, which culminated in the insertion of civil society in decision-making and in the management of public policy.
