University governance and transaction costs in the brazilian legal amazon

ABSTRACT:

This article proposes an overview of university governance in the light of the theory of Transaction Cost Economics (ECT). To do so, a theoretical foundation covering ECT and governance structures was used. Analysis of institutional documents of federal universities in Legal Amazon was also carried out in order to evaluate the composition of superior councils of deliberation. Conclusion is that there is still a long way to go when it comes to organizing democratic deliberative bodies that allow an effective participation of internal and external actors in university decisions.

Keywords:
