The Municipal Public Administration as Sponsor of Social and Economic Development

Abstract

In Brazilian contemporary conjucture, it is verified that not only social development does not accompany, in a parallel way, economic development, but also that there is a gap between these subjects. Even with the insertion, in 1988 Brazilian Federal Constitution, of an extensive list of fundamental rights and guarantees, a simple disposition was not enough to achieve the desired balance. Therefore, the following question arises: what would be the municipal contribution to local development, in both social and economic terms? How could it be effectively implemented the provided in Constitution, respecting fundamental rights and guarantees? Thus, the present work aims, through an objective methodology with an analysis of doctrinal and legal positions, to demonstrate how the municipal administrative responsibility is consistent with the constitutional objectives, in order to facilitate and implement local development, in both economic and social ways.
