RESUMO

This work researches the organizational forms of local government in the 24 years of Dutch domination over the northern Estado do Brasil (1630-1654). As on the course of that period there was no stability in local government, this investigation has in sight an understanding of the structure and political dynamics both of the Portuguese Municipal Councils (Câmaras Municipais), which lasted until the year 1637, and of the Councils of Schepens (Kamers van Schepenen or Câmaras de Escabinos), created according to the instructions established by the Dutch Republic, and thus contributing to the study of the different forms of local government in colonial Brazil. Our aim is to go further by treating how that transformation in local government was felt by sugar aristocracy and by the inhabitants of the dominated captaincies, relating this context to the one of a luso-brazilian reaction against the invaders after 1645, and then attending to the role played by the Municipal Councils in the war of Restoration period (1645-1654). In that, our research falls in a larger and more critical debate about, in one hand, both government and rule in the Portuguese Empire, especially in which refers to the relationship between colonial local government and the central metropolitan government, and in the other, commercial and territorial expansion of the Lower Countries through their commercial companies in the seventh century. From the analyses of local government in Dutch Brazil it is possible to question the differing systems of colonial domination, both Portuguese and Dutch, which confronted each other in this time and period.
