POST-EVENT

The event was mediated by professor Eduardo Marques (CEM and Political Science Department) and was presented by three guest lecturers: Ednaldo Ribeiro (State University of Maringa), José Roberto Afonso (Brasiliense Institute of Public Law and IBRE / FGV), and Ursula Peres (EACH / USP).

This roundtable brought together different experts on municipal management, which addressed this issue from different dimensions and analytical perspectives. Management, financing and participation are major contemporary challenges of municipal governance. However, they have been examined and discussed in isolation, which implies that the proposed solutions for each dimension are often in conflict. This roundtable discussion aimed to provide an opportunity to discuss different dimensions more broadly. What are the main barriers to financing public policies in municipalities? What are the major contemporary challenges of municipal management? What are the advances and challenges for strengthening participation at the municipal level?
