RESUMO

Citizenss participation is a largely debated field of focusing mainly on the limits and feasibility of participation in democratic scenarios. The Brazilian Constitution of 1988 proposal of social control steered the discussions about democratic practice through the Public Policies Management Councils, which are the loci of conflict and negotiation. The councelors are the main subjects in these institutions. They are representatives of different social categories and frequently come from heterogeneous political background. This research is a case study of the Municipal Social Work Council (MSWC) and the Municipal Health Council (MHC) of Camaçari in Bahia. A quali-quantitative approach was adopted. The study aimed at analyzing the participation of their members, by using interviews, survey and minute analysis. Results showed that, in general, community participation in both MSWC and MHC comprises of counselors with a highly politically active profile; weaker presence of government representatives and stronger participation of entities and users (MSWC); more democratic access for non-governmental members of MHC; high degree of subjective political competence; and the major limitations to the performance of counselors tasks are the lack of technical knowledge, absence of internal qualification training and non-establishemente of comissions.
