DOMINGUES, Raquel Dal Magro  and  HERNANDEZ, Aline Reis Calvo. Argumentative citizenschip in representative councils: a psychopolitical perspective. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2025, vol.25, e25209.  Epub Dec 01, 2025. ISSN 2175-1390.  https://doi.org/10.5935/2175-1390.v25e25209.

This article presents, from a Political Psychology perspective, the concept of argumentative citizenship, focusing on its theoretical-epistemic dimensions, encompassing philosophical, legal, and sociological approaches, to arrive at the Psychopolitical perspective. The concept serves as a theoretical and analytical key for understanding the phenomenon of political participation in representative councils. Although the conceptual proposal was developed based on case studies conducted at a municipal environmental council, what stands out in this article is the theoretical framework that supports the proposed analysis of the phenomenon of councilor’s political engagement in public policymaking. The concept can be applied to all other forms of collective engagement in representative spaces, offering proposals regarding the effective exercise of their competences through the adoption of a continuing education policy.

Keywords : Argumentative Citizenship; Representative Council’s; Public Policies; Politic Participation.
