CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT IN THE GOVERNMENTAL PLANNING: THE STATE OF MINAS GERAIS CASE

This paper analyzes the advances and limitations of citizen engagement in government planning implemented in the State of Minas Gerais by the Regional Government Forums (FRGs) between 2015 and 2017. Specifically, we examine the institutional arrangements through a political capacity according to Gomide and Pires (2014). The case study was adopted as a research methodology. In the data collection, we used documentary survey, observation in forums events and semi-structured interviews. As far as political capacity is concerned, we can see the predominance of public servants, followed by representatives of social movements, with low participation of business organizations in the analyzed territory. It is concluded that the FRGs break with the previous technocratic logic, based on the parameters of the new public management.
