Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This article approaches innovations in the urban politics, in the federal and local governments in Brazil from the end of the years 1980, addressed to the democratization of the relations between State and society, the deepening of the democracy and to social-spatial inclusion. In order to do so, right after introductory notes, the fi rst section briefl y approaches the trajectory of urban policies in Brazil, with special attention to the models of urban planning and of State-society relation standards. The second section examines the advancements and contradictions in agenda setting and implementation processes of the new legal-institutional frameworks as the Federal Constitution of 1988 and Statute of the City, which provides new references to the urban policies. The section also point out to the action of the Federal Government. The third section explores the tendencies and innovations that have been occurred in the local level since the period of democratization of the country. More specifi cally it identifi es three innovation paths: the creation of institutional participation spaces in the urban politics filed; the reconstruction of urban planning premises; the logics that imbeds the new local master plans; and the interventions addressed to the social-spatial inclusion of the informal settlements in the Brazilian cities. The final considerations aim to point some potentials and limits of these advancements. Beyond the pertinent bibliographical revision, the work employed data basis and documental sources.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

The aim of this paper was to assess the contribution of permanent education towards the formation of health managers in a given region of Sao Paulo state, Brazil, a case study of the Permanent Education Forum for Local Health Managers (Fórum de Educação Permanente para Gestores Municipais de Saúde). The participating observation of the researchers allowed checking the results within three dimensions: the managers self-analysis as the refl ection on their own work is increased; a pedagogical feature, increasing the comprises operational knowledge on management; and the political feature, which broadens the understanding about the Brazilian Health Care System. The enhanced articulation of local managers, increasing their capacity to make pressure against the state manager was a positive result. The managers’ turnover, the local political interferences as well as the low capacity to provide answers on part of the regional public entity were stumbling-blocks to the success of this experience.

Document type: Article (English) Show Abstract

This article is a criticism of the neoclassical economics influence on theories of management using the experience and lessons from the evolution of the debates in development studies. I argue that this influence has introduced values that are incompatible with the values of what could be a socially responsible society in a modern view of what is development. The article firstly examines the evolution of the debates of the concept of development, as they moved from being forums dominated exclusively by economists – who saw development as synonym of economic growth – to a multi and interdisciplinary debate over several dimensions of development, including social, environmental and democracy issues. Secondly, it criticizes management theories based on neoclassical economics through the experience of the development debate. I argue that management theories based on economics see the management solutions as a one-way alternative (market- based solutions), influence the thinking of both the means and the ends of organizations, and have propagated a series of values that are not compatible with a socially developed society.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

The territorial approach of development took an important place in the public politics of the State, also guiding the actions originated from different organizations of the society. The territorial focus, infl uenced by the analysis related to the industrial districts, is highlighted as a specifi c form to dealing with process and situations spatially delimited. In Brazil, the Secretary of Territorial Development, linked to the Ministry of Agrarian Development, since 2003, has adopted it strategically through the Programa Nacional de Desenvolvimento Sustentável dos Territórios Rurais (PRONAT). In 2008, had occurs the implantation of the Programa Territórios da Cidadania, a part of the PRONAT and of the rural development politic directed to the dynamization of the depressed territories constituted by small counties that cover rural and urban areas and activities, overcoming the focus on the rural world. The analysis of the assumptions underlying to the adoption of this strategy on the politic of the rural development in Brazil made through the study of the constitution of the Território Integração Norte Pioneiro (PR), which indicates that the focus of this politic falls more on the effectiveness of the decentralization than the concretization, and implementation, of the social management.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

The article aims to contribute to the understanding of the centrality that a school can have in a community. Describes the Peasant School Program, the management of the Municipal School of Basic Education (EMEF) Hermínio Pagotto and connects to the context of the Bela Vista do Chibarro Land Reform Settlement (Araraquara, SP). The information was collected through participant observation on two fi eldwork visits. The article relates the Peasant Program and the School history, describes the equipment and the School quotidian, considering the management throw the tensions that have place in that context. It also seeks to deepen the understanding of the place of the school as a space for dialogue and mediation. The EMEF occupies the centrality of the agro village, and is the focus of a continuing process of production, maintenance and recreation of that space. Any school is related to a number of interests and expectations, and the school is also defi ned by the way it deals with those. In this case and in this article, that understanding is proposed by approaching historical formation, struggles, alliances and confl icts that make the place where community and school are located, and which are both refl ective and agent. By recognizing the infl uence of Land Reform Settlement in the school routine is possible to fi nd inside School the differences between the settlers groups: each child brings from home a point of view and fi nds a place to dialogue among different. Does the community places the school in its centrality? Given its centrality, does the school invigorate the community? As far as the research and this article goes, the answer seems to be positive to both questions, toward a dynamic movement of mutual reinforcement.

Performance measurement is one of the pillars of recent public sector reforms in many countries, and the basis for other innovations as agencifi cation, results-based contracts, pay for performance, partnerships, governing by networks. Applying this managerial tool to the public sector has been discussed intensively, giving rise to many controversial issues about its adequacy to public organizations.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

Community foundations emerged in the USA, in 1914, as an alternative to managing bequeathed grants to the community. Community foundations evolved during the last century and have proven to be important vehicles through which individuals and other organisations contribute to the development of local communities. Organisations inspired by this concept were established in Brazil in the 2000’s, facing diffi culties such as a culture of paternalistic and sporadic giving. Brazilian community foundations are still very incipient and fragile and it has been challenging to play important roles such as community leadership. This article is based on bibliographic and documental research, interviews, participation in events, visits and practical experience working in community foundations. A brief history of the community foundations as a concept is presented, as well as the emergence of organisations inspired by this concept in Brazil, discussing how the context of the country may have infl uenced Brazilian community foundations. Also debated is the potential of these organisations when playing the role of community leadership in processes of local development, and topics are suggested to form an agenda of studies about community foundations in Brazil, in order to strengthen the concept and guide ongoing practices.
