RESUMO
The Guardianship Councils were created in 1990 based on The Child and Adolescent Statute (Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente). It is an organization that, supported by local community, cares about the rights of children and adolescents. This innovation is a result of social movements¿ struggles of the 1970¿s and 1980¿s but, in reality, opposite policies are present in established places for civil society. This dissertation analyses two opposite political projects (Democratic project Vs. Conservative project) at Guardianship Council concentrating on the choice process of the guardianship counselors, which at the studied county happens through direct election. The research field was the Guardianship Council from Duque de Caxias in which there are three guardianship counselors who advice the population of the four districts of the county. In each Guardianship Council, one guardianship counselor was interviewed. One social assistant from the technical team and one local community representative, who participated in the last election, were also interviewed. After researching, we identified some characteristics that confirm not only the traditional policies but also the democratic ones. Concluding, we also analyzed how the guardianship counselors understand: i) local community participation at Guardianship Council and ii) its inclusion in an organization connected to children and adolescents¿ interests, and this second point is a criterion for standing for elections.
