Abstract

This study addresses the prospect of creation of the state of Carajas from the point of view of parliamentary representation of municipalities in the south and southeast of Pará Theories about political representation and criticism of elite theory guided the analysis, since the theme of redivision of territory Para has inflamed speeches by political candidates and campaign during the referendum of December 2011 the debate was reversed in multiparty animosity between the fronts of yes and no, the opponent's claim against the emancipation, which division it was a political project of local elites. Empirical basis of the field survey was administered to the 39 council districts in the region. The research revealed that regionalist political mobilization is anchored in the decision-making power away to leave the area outside the government agenda and emphasizes the oblivion of public power state. The councilors see the new state as a possibility to meet demands for public policies and employment opportunities and income, but clearly perceive an opportunity to grow their careers and policies to increase parity in the balance of representation from the north in Congress.
