National Council of Literature

The National Council of Literature is an advisory body of the Ministry of Culture for the formulation of policies, plans and programs in the area of literature, as well as support in its coverage and impact on the literary sector and culture in general. The Council should also keep the relevant artistic and cultural organizations informed of the development of the policies, plans and programs discussed in the Council. The council is part of the National Councils of Artistic Areas, created by the General Law of Culture of 1997 and regulated later in 2003 and 2004. Its members come from the Ministry of Culture, representatives with a wide trajectory in the respective area (in this case literature), and representatives of the five regional groups of the country.

Institutional design

?

Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?

Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?

Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?

Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?

Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
