Selected
a place where... meet
I do not think that "lugar de encuentro" is negative, therefore using clash would not be accurate. This is simply where civil society and government meet.
Loosely:
Si bien estos Consejos Consultivos se han convertido en un foro privilegiado para el debate en torno a las políticas públicas, el *lugar de encuentro* entre sociedad civil y gobierno, han presentado algunos problemas que han limitado su función
Although these councils have become a forum for debating public policies, a place where civil society and government meet, there have been some problems, which have restricted their role.

"As a public international conference, OECD Forum 2000 will provide a meeting place where members of all segments of economy and society can come to discuss and air their views on a range of issues, and ultimately shape the development of the 21st century. After all, broad, inclusive policy dialogue is essential to identify tensions and manage systemic frictions in today’s global economy."
