Abstract

PIREZ, Pedro. Metropolitan government as governance: between self-regulation and political orientation. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.45, pp.523-548. ISSN 2448-6183.

This paper presents an approach to study the local urban government. It reviews the arguments of governability-governance, like a proposal of a method or instrument of government, which limits the ability to perceive the role of the State and the situations of concentration of power. It proposes to introduce the notion of orientation of social and territorial processes from the political-bureaucratic apparatuses. It refers to the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires, identifying an inter-jurisdictional structure characterized by the dominance of the federal government, studying the processes and policies that were part of the neoliberal restructuring over the 1990's.

Keywords : governability; governance; orientation; neoliberalism; metropolitan area; Buenos Aires.
