This thesis investigates the institutionalization processes of intergovernmental relations to ensure federative cooperation and collaboration in the management of education in Brazil and Bahia, through the Education Development Arrangements (ADE), regulated by the National Council of Education, having as investigative focus on Public Consortia from Law nº 11.107/2005. This is a qualitative, exploratory research, of an implied nature, based on the critical paradigm, whose objective is to analyze the experiences of Intermunicipal Public Consortia that work in the area of education in the Territories of Identity of Bahia, with a view to understanding under what institutional conditions cooperative and collaborative management of educational policy occurs, aiming to identify factors that contribute to ensure the democratic management of public education in the territorial space with governability, social control and inclusion of local political agents. The research results indicate that the consortium management in the territories of Bahia, despite presenting conditions for institutionalization with well-defined legislation and regulations and a robust political-administrative structure, presents weaknesses in the inter-federative articulation of collaboration and cooperation between the State and municipalities in the area of education . The absence of State coordination in the area of education, with consortia as potential partners for the territorial management of education, has motivated the expansion of the performance of a network of partners linked to the national business movement in Bahian territories, which have been occupying spaces in the control of the curricular content and in the planning of educational management, advancing the non-state public management project in the area of education in the territorial space, through public consortia.
