Gênero e políticas públicas

Analise da incorporacao da perspectiva de genero por politicas publicas desenvolvidas por governos subnacionais no Brasil. O artigo inicia-se com uma reconstituicao da agenda de genero e de sua relacao com a agenda de reforma do Estado e das politicas publicas desde a decada de 1980. Identificam-se a seguir propostas formuladas por movimentos de mulheres e entidades feministas no campo das politicas publicas. Com base nessas propostas, sao analisados programas das areas de saude, combate a violencia contra a mulher e geracao de emprego e renda, destacando-se a maior ou menor aderencia das iniciativas locais a agenda feminista.

Disseminação de Inovações e Políticas Públicas e Espaço Local

Nas ultimas decadas, os governos locais, no Brasil, passaram por um processo de transformacao caracterizado pela incorporacao, por parte dos municipios, de novas atribuicoes e responsabilidades e pela introducao de inovacoes na administracao publica local. Embora haja um numero expressivo de pesquisas e trabalhos voltados a analise dessas transformacoes, ha uma dimensao ainda negligenciada pela literatura. Trata-se do processo de disseminacao de politicas publicas, de programas inovadores e de novas formas de gestao publica, processo segundo o qual uma inovacao e reproduzida por outras localidades, ou, visto de uma outra perspectiva, de processo segundo o qual um municipio se inspira em iniciativas desenvolvidas anteriormente em outros locais. O objetivo deste capitulo e contribuir para a introducao do tema disseminacao na agenda de pesquisa sobre gestao e poder local no Brasil, por meio da recuperacao da literatura sobre difusao e disseminacao de inovacoes e de politicas publicas e da discussao dos fatores que contribuem para a disseminacao de politicas, programas e praticas de gestao inovadoras.

Avaliação, informação e responsabilização no setor público

En este articulo se discute el papel que los sistemas de evaluacion de politicas publicas y programas gubernamentales pueden desempenar en la mejora de los mecanismos para el control de la administracion publica. Tratamos de verificar como la aplicacion de los sistemas de evaluacion ayuda a reducir la asimetria de informacion entre los ciudadanos y los politicos, y entre politicos y burocratas. Se discuten los casos del Sistema de Evaluacion del Desempeno Escolar del Estado de Sao Paulo (Saresp) y del Sistema de Monitoreo y Evaluacion (SMA) del Programa Estatal de Enfermedades de Transmision Sexual y Sida (ETS/Sida) del mismo estado. El analisis de estos casos sugiere que los sistemas de evaluacion pueden contribuir a una mayor transparencia en la gestion publica y rendicion de cuentas de los funcionarios publicos por los resultados de las politicas y programas gubernamentales, pero el grado en que los avances se producen en este sentido se relaciona no solo con caracteristicas de la evaluacion (en particular con las formas de presentacion y difusion de los datos de evaluacion), tambien con la dinamica de los actores que participan en la evaluacion y gestion en la formulacion e implementacion de politicas publicas consideradas.The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects of standardized systems of policy evaluation on government transparency and officials accountability. More specifically it discusses the impact of program evaluation and program assessment systems in the promotion of increasing levels of information transparency and the enhancement of mechanisms of accountability in the Public Sector. The exam of Saresp (Scholl Assessment System of Sao Paulo State) and the Monitoring and Evaluation System of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) and Aids program in the same State suggests that evaluation systems have a positive impact on transparency and accountability, but that this impact is related not only to characteristics of the policy evaluation systems - particularly to the pattern its data and results are presented to the public - but also to the participation of stakeholders in the evaluation process and in the public policy itself.

Governo local, políticas públicas e novas formas de gestão pública no Brasil

A analise de iniciativas recentes de governos estaduais e municipais no Brasil, parte de um movimento de inovacao e reforma das politicas sociais no pais, em curso desde a decada de 80. A analise se baseia em programas e iniciativas inscritos no Programa Gestao Publica e Cidadania, uma iniciativa conjunta da Fundacao Getulio Vargas de Sao Paulo e da Fundacao Ford, com apoio do BNDES. O artigo situa as iniciativas analisadas no contexto de um processo mais geral de crise do Estado, no pais e no exterior, e de constituicao de uma agenda de Reforma do Estado e das politicas sociais a partir dos anos 70. E tendo a evolucao desta agenda como pano de fundo que se identificam algumas tendencias de mudanca na gestao publica subnacional no pais, as quais apontam para um processo incremental de ampliacao da cidadania - atraves da democratizacao do processo decisorio e da ampliacao do acesso a servicos publicos - e de modernizacao da gestao, resultado da acao criativa de governos estaduais e municipais.

Análise de políticas públicas no Brasil: de uma prática não nomeada à institucionalização do "campo de públicas"

This article reconstitutes the trajectory of public policy analysis in Brazil, based on literature that distinguishes between policy studies and policy analysis and on the theory from the scientific field. This is essentially a work of bibliographic research, focusing on studies relating to State intervention and bureaucracy in Brazil. The reconstitution of the this work of analysis, understood as the production and mobilization of knowledge in favor of polices, was based on the following analytical categories, developed especially for this work using literature on public policy as a reference: kind of knowledge mobilized; locus of analysis; the actors and institutions involved; and the target audience for this kind of methodology of analysis. This article shows that the analysis of public policies had been around in Brazil since the 1930s, but without it being properly institutionalized as a specific scientific field, and that it has only been since 2000, with the growth in production of research and more courses offered on the subject of public policies that we have seen a change in this scenario. The increased supply of literature on public policy, as well as the boom we are experiencing in undergraduate and graduate programs on the subject suggest that we are witnessing the institutionalization of a new field — the “campo de publicas” or “public field”— one in which the focus on public policies through policy analysis plays a leading role.This article addresses the path of policy analysis in Brazil based on literature that distinguishes between policy studies and policy analysis.

This article shows that policy analysis has been present in Brazil since the 1930s, but was not institutionalized as a scientific field. Since the 2000s, the expansion of academic production and courses on public policy has changed this dynamic, leading to the institutionalization of the “public field” where guidance for public policy — that is, policy analysis — occupies a central place.

Gênero e política pública: panorama da produção acadêmica no Brasil (1983-2015)

Public policy for gender equality arose in Brazil in the 1980s. It has gained relevance since 2003, due to the institutionalization of the Secretariat of Policies for Women. However, it does not mean that there is a consolidated research agenda on gender and public policy themes in the country. This article aims to investigate how those themes have been incorporated, in an articulated manner, by academic research in Brazil. To do this, 349 articles available on the SCIELO and SPELL platforms between 1983 and 2015 were analyzed. From this analysis, a heterogeneous set of studies was identified, classified according to a typology built from the standards of incorporation of gender and public policy issues. Each type analysis took also into consideration: distribution of authorship; knowledge areas and the journals where the articles were published; themes and the population segments studied; and methodological approaches applied. It is argued that there is not a constituted research field on that subject, but rather points of convergence between the gender studies and the public policy field. This study aims to contribute to the development of a research agenda which articulates those two fields, and to assist other research based on different periods and data sources, through the methodology developed.Public policy for gender equality arose in Brazil in the 1980s.
