Abstract: This theoretical essay was based on a literature review and aims at discussing the category of public governance, and relate it to the evolution of the democratic processes. It argues that public governance, as an institutional form of the State, opens the possibility to manage the public assets to various actors, when it comes to decision processes and formulation of public policies. It concludes that public governance is emerging as an important institutional arrangement for the operation of democratic principles because by reinforcing the values of democracy, citizenship and public interest, it enables the expansion of participation mechanisms in the instances of State deliberation, as well as the incorporation of transparent and shared actions in a field of increasingly explicit disputes and conflicts. %K Governan a p¨²blica.
