Taking as a central question the problem of the contradiction between the persistence of the social inequality and its simultaneity with “the homogeneous image that Brazilian people have of themselves”, this paper is focused on the political dimension of the territory and its institutions, recovering the municipalities as a political actor and object of analysis. The current context of the ensemble of all Brazilian municipalities, established by the constitution of 1988, was affected by institutional constraints of decentralization and also by the growth of popular participation in the democratic process, and defines an important landmark for reflections about the spatial logic of individual and collective action. The analysis is done in two levels: the conceptu alone, using someconcepts from Giddens’s theory of structuration and also from recent debates on the “new institutionalism”; the empirical one, using selected data about municipal councils and consortia and other institutional resource.Downloads
