RESUMO

In this dissertation reflects about the role of educational councils have acquired in the management of the education sector as an alternative to expanding the civil society participation, in order to understand the limits and possibilities that this area presents, and if the relationship contributes to the effectiveness and expansion of citizens rights. Then, it intended to systematize the experiences of a municipal council of education established by a progressive government, and that involved in a gradual process of debates and disputes between civil society and the government that demanded many challenges, obstacles and possibilities of effectiveness, in the municipality of Belém, educational public politics, based in a broader movement to overcome the hegemonic culture imposed, proposed and created alternative actions, in contrast to the educational politics implemented by the Ministry of Education in the government of Fernando Henrique Cardoso (from 1993 to 2002). Thus, the presented work intended to investigate the Municipal Council of Education of Belém/PA, considering the participation and social control in the construction of public space in relations between the public and civil society, seeking to understand the possibilities and limits of this process of consolidation related to "innovative" institutional actions in public administration. The main idea discussed is that the Councils, in the dialog between the state and society, reflect ideas and broader concepts of education and society which, in each historical moment, influence the dynamics of educational politics in discussion. Thus, it is justified the preoccupation related to the possibilities of the councils expanding the debate in a more democratic way, related to the changes in different social segments, especially the subordinated ones, aiming to contribute to a growing dialogue with users of social public politics. At the same time, the political dimension of representatives was also the object of reflection, by the necessity of evaluating its legitimacy and the direction given to the discussions, as well as the limits of delegated representation.
