GOVERNANÇAS COOPERATIVAS SUSTENTÁVEIS NA GESTÃO METROPOLITANA FLUMINENSE: DESAFIOS GEOGRÁFICOS / SUSTAINABLE COOPERATIVE GOVERNANCE IN FLUMENAN METROPOLITAN MANAGEMENT: GEOGRAPHICAL CHALLENGES

Abstract

doi: 10.12957/geouerj.2017.32065 Studies on the models of cooperative governance in metropolitan environments have been expanded in Brazil, currently, due to the territorial and demographic configurations that are formed in the national space. Such configurations affect the quality of the management of the territories established in the country, challenging the society to reorder the functions and the metropolitan roles in the Brazilian political sphere. In this sense, the research centers in Political Geography retake the discussions carried out by jurists, social scientists and technicians on the institutional problems of interinstitutional cooperation in the scale of the Brazilian metropolises, whose public services are competitive among themselves. Such competition affects the quality of life of millions of people in the metropolis, being the case of the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro emblematic for the study of the metropolitan functions of essential services in Brazilian federalist culture.
