“…Recent studies on the role of municipalities in the Brazilian political system and political representation at the local level have sought to address some central questions about local politics in a systematic way, based on empirical data. One of these questions concerns the extent of the clientelist character of relations between representatives and those they represent (ALMEIDA and CARNEIRO, 2003;KERBAUY, 2005;LOPEZ and ALMEIDA, 2017). These studies show that interest in local politics is on the rise among Brazilian social scientists.…”

“…Nonetheless, there is evidence that clientelism is not as widespread a pattern as is commonly thought. Its reach varies according to a number of factors, while more institutional dynamics, similar to those seen in other spheres of government, may be found at the municipal level (KUSCHNIR, 2000;LOPEZ and ALMEIDA, 2017). Scholars also suggest that, despite the institutional homogeneity of the three spheres of Brazilian government, it is impossible, given the scarce literature, to make general statements about patterns of political interaction at the local level.…”

“…One interviewed councilor describes the committee as "simply a formality, it serves only to comply with the regulation". Such inactivity is a consequence of lack of skills, resource misallocation (human and material) (Santiso, 2005;Sartorelli & Pires, 2012), and political incentives (Lopez & Almeida, 2017;Santiso, 2005).…”

“…Although studies on the Brazilian legislative branch highlight the multiparty system and the dynamics of the coalition government (Pereira & Melo, 2012;Pereira & Mueller, 2000;Praça, Freitas, & Hoepers, 2011;Raile, Pereira, & Power, 2011;Zorzal & Carlos, 2017), in general such literature does not cover the role of the legislature at local level (Castro;Anastasia & Nunes, 2009). More recently, even though a few studies focus on the city council role (e.g., Lopez & Almeida, 2017;Sartorelli & Pires, 2012), still being scarce the attention dedicated to the budgetary surveillance by municipal PACs in Brazil. This paper goes beyond the committees' skills and capabilities as the central barrier to the effective operation of committees.…”
