CARVALHO, Elma Júlia Gonçalves de. Policy and management education: exploring the meaning of terms. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2016, vol.21, n.41, pp.77-96. ISSN 2318-1982.  https://doi.org/10.20435/231819822016106.

The purpose of this article is to explore the conceptual dimension of the terms policy and management, clarifying and deepening the understanding that one has on them, as well as detecting the mutual relationship existing between them. We believe that such an understanding is particularly relevant in the analysis of educational policy today, especially when taking the assumption that they respond to the struggles and social conflicts, which result from numerous diffuse forces of society, which participate directly or indirectly on the power. In this clash or balance of forces in the process of formulating a policy or its materialization in management, the arguments, the language and the meanings of the terms matter, as these constitute legitimization strategies, mobilizing people towards consensus and construction of hegemony.

Palabras clave : Politics; management; concepts.
