Abstract

The goal of the research is to analyze the action of the City Council of Rural Development Arroio do Tigre - Condepa, according to the guidelines of decentralization of public policies of the Brazilian government, guided by the municipal public administration and rural actors in question. Accordingly, we seek to bring out a brief history of the municipal councils, their function and composition tying with practical action of the case study. Through a literature search combined with documentary research of the minutes of Condepa (August 2009 to September 2012) with a qualitative approach, extracted the results of this case study. The case demonstrates the existence of a formal space stimulated by the guidelines of the state and legitimized by the local meetings, conducting specific actions sided die with fragile participation of farmers. This is true for the actions previously stipulated by the agents of development, therefore, limiting the freedom of choices of actors beneficiaries. Therefore, this space needs to advance actions that can truly promote rural development.
