Abstract

This chapter situates the Brazilian health councils in the international debate about deepening democracy and participatory governance. It then presents the research methodology. The fourth section introduces the municipal areas under study. Next, the authors describe the composition, connections and dynamics of the six CLSs, and present the debates that took place in them. They also discuss the relationship between the local history of social mobilization and the councils’ performance. Finally, methodological and analytical aspects of the research are discussed.

Owing to copyright restrictions, only the first 3 pages are attached, together with a link to the book at Zed Books.
