Os órgãos públicos colegiados no âmbito da Administração Pública

Abstract

This thesis takes as its object of analysis the collegiate administrative organization. Its scope comprises the investigation of collegiate public agencies which are units that have come to be increasingly common in the structure of Brazil s Public Administration. This shows the remarkable significance of the administrative organization and the principles that support it: competence, hierarchy, coordination, participatory democracy and collegiality. The study emphasizes the phenomenon of devolution. This concept orbits public bodies, a fundamental organizational category. It generates controversies and theoretical difficulties especially concerning its legal nature and interorganic relations, which are worthy revisiting. Such aspects subsidize the study of collegiate bodies and their structural components, with focus on their characteristics. It is also taken into account the institutional setting where multiple group deliberative bodies prevail. In this context, it is further developed the notion of efficient determination which adds features that would allow recognition of colleges. Such accounts fall on the quantitative (number of members), qualitative (decision at a meeting), relational (a relationship of equalitarian ordination between members) and temporal (duration of the composition) aspects. Furthermore, both the regime for the establishment of collegiate bodies and its composition are subject to verification. Here there is an emphasis on its democratic features, compared to its dissemination by national administrative structures. The collegiate structure doesn t have unanimous and unconditional acceptance, for there are some handicaps on which some discussions are made in order to extract their actual legal composure. Thus, we intend to develop, under the legal and organizational perspective, one of the most important public events taking place today
