Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This paper proposes a water resources management system based on a new view of the environmental question, inserted in a public management and regional development context. The system is based on Law n. 9.433/97 and follows the recommendations of the Agenda 21. Considering the hydrographic basin as a strategic planning unit and decentralized management with the participation of society, the system allows, through an extensive process of institutional articulation and negotiation, a compromise between the multiple interests of a region’s different social segments. It also minimizes the effects of conflicts between different governmental areas. The proposed methodology has been successfully tested for four years in the Itabapoana river basin, formed by 18 towns in the Southeastern Brazilian states of Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This paper analyzes how employees and managers of the Minas Gerais Hospital Foundation have perceived and modified the proposal of remuneration conditioned to the attainment of results introduced in 1993. The punctual study of the actors’ perception was carried through by half-structuralized interviews with the management and with multi-professional and functional focal groups of employees. This perception was collated with the data obtained in a previous study that identified changes of the main production indicators of services between 1992 and 1995. The speech both of directors and of employees is permeated by three key questions, being two of them also central in the theory principal-agent: aversion to risk, asymmetry or incomplete information, and participation. These questions seem to be basic for a lasting success in the adoption of a flexible remuneration. Underestimating the importance of those factors, especially the participation in decision making, could transform a proposal of remuneration conditioned to the attainment of results, as it occurred in this specific case study, into mere wage complementation.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This paper presents a diagnosis of the Brazilian philanthropic health sector, based on the identification and analysis of current legislation and on the distribution of the network of philanthropic hospitals and its production within the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). It subsidizes public policies and specific sector programs, offering elements for the understanding of the conflicting context in which the new legislation has been established, and characterizing the role played by the philanthropic sector in providing healthcare through SUS. The sector’s legislation and regulation documents were analyzedin order to identify the requirements and the flow of the process of obtaining the philanthropy certification as well as tax exemption. The consistency between data from the Brazilian Council for Social Assistance (CNAS) and from SUS were also checked. The geographic distribution of hospital resources was defined, and the production profile of these units were analyzed, taking into account the authorizations for inpatient care paid by SUS in the first quarter of 1999.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This paper analyzes the variables efficiency and innovation as marketing tools to improve the quality of public service, focused on the satisfaction of the citizen’s needs. Using an intentional non-probabilistic sampling, structured personal interviews were made with 30 civil servants of a federal university in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in order to identify the issues discussed in this paper. The major results show a predominant bureaucratic rationality, emphasizing the compliance with internal proceedings and rules. Also, there are barriers created by the rationality itself, making the organizational structure rigid and impairing the services that are rendered to the citizen. The paper recommends the adoption of human resources improvement procedures, including qualification and empowerment, as effective tools toward an approach centered in the citizen’s satisfaction.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This paper analyzes the influence that the power centralization by Brazilian jurists and judges had on the formation of the national political system. The period under analysis goes from the colonial times to the first republican government, in 1891. This is a crucial period for the study, since it is when an intense political action by jurists and judges takes place. The paper begins by establishing a few basic premises about the formation of the Portuguese State and the early times of the Brazilian colonization. Then it examines the different historical periods: the Colony, the First Reign, the reign of Pedro II, and the dawning of the Republic, with the government of Deodoro da Fonseca.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

Since mid-1993, with the first phase of the Plano Real, then known as Plano de Ação Imediata (PAI, Immediate Action Plan), governmental intervention takes the form of a large and sustained amount of provisional acts (medidas provisórias) – a sort of law issued as if it were administrative acts. As a consequence, the power to propose in the policy game is almost always transferred from the Lgislature to the bureaucrats. At the same time, this mechanism is the main source of institutional instability under which Brazilian economy operates.
