Participation and Public Policies in Brazil.

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the Municipal Health Council of S茫o Paulo, a council that works in a favorable environment with a strongly committed government and citizenry. Health councils such as this one make for a good case study because they have been established for a longer period than most councils and are perceived as more consolidated. Before discussing the particulars of the S茫o Paulo case, the authors review the legal context of health councils.
