Full textThe Decentralization Program of the Municipal Department of Culture in Porto Alegre was the result of a social struggle waged by groups of street theater, local groups and community movements, for the expansion and qualification of participation in municipal government. Its proposed policy was constructed from experiments such as Project Theatre as an Instrument of Social Talk, of the group Ói Nóis Aqui Traveiz, in contrast the first actions of the Municipal Culture in 1990 - the cultural desconcentration of city center. The speech of the program pointed to a process of decentralization in which local communities, organized collectively, began to self-organize in terms of cultural politics. However, it is important to highlight that the opportunities for participation in public management have been exploited for social control, through collaboration and not antagonism in civil society. This kind of participation does not have the managerial horizon to social emancipation, but his co-optation. Thus, it is necessary to identify the extent to which the speech triggered Program participation practices that facilitated obtaining answers to the collective demands, and increased communication between rulers and ruled, providing parameters for decision making, strengthening the expansion of citizenship and "deselitização" public management. In this work, which was analyzed at what extent the experience of participation in the Decentralization Program of Culture in Porto Alegre stimulated the formation of new values, guided by ethics conference? The field research, interviews and participant observation, supported the establishment of discourse and analysis of program practices of participation. For the analysis and processing of data was used a qualitative approach, identifying the extent to which the practices of participation that occurred throughout the program rescued the links between civil society and state, turning the latter into a playing field. It was identified early in the program, new opportunities for civil society participation in public management. However, the spaces of participation that had the greatest potential to stimulate new ways of participation, over the years, lost the potential for change, distancing them, this way, from the initial performance of the proposed program.

Full texteffects on Russian foreign policy from the collapse of the Soviet Union on. The main question it tries to answer is why they are successful to determine the main contours of a relatively peaceful foreign policy in a crises-laden Russia which have had so many reasons to switch to an aggressive behavior. In this regard, the military-industrial complex is the other crucial economic sector to be referred to frequently. Given the overwhelming nature of the international structure that Russia finds itself in, and given the general change in the worldview of the Russians, it becomes clear that the resource-finance sector on the one hand and the military-industrial complex on the other are much more than mere economic sectors, being organic material cores of alternative national and international identities. Such a holistic approach in turn makes it possible to draw on the explanatory power of the legitimacy factor and to go beyond different group preferences in accounting for Russian foreign policy. Analyzing different sectors&rsquo
and their commodities&rsquo
structural characteristics in the context of the international market helps to discard the &ldquo
politics of international trade&rdquo
as a too narrow conceptual framework to study Russian foreign policy and to understand different economic sectors&rsquo
true explanatory utility.

Full textInternational cooperation to avoid dangerous anthropogenic climate change has proven to be very hard to achieve. The difficulties to reach a binding international agreement with sufficient reduction targets are evident and extensively discussed in the economic literature. Nevertheless, new ideas towards cooperation are evolving. This thesis offers an exploration of new avenues to international climate cooperation, widening the scope of game theoretic research on international environmental agreements towards global governance literature, political economy and trade. It also extends the potential applicability of the findings from the game theoretic literature on international environmental agreements for climate change mitigation as it discusses potential insights for cases of transnational climate adaptation. The analysis is based on analytical theoretical modelling, using a game theoretical model in which countries first choose between joining and not joining an international coalition. Then the coalition members choose their level of emissions cooperatively in a game between the coalition and the outsiders. It includes the possibility of multiple parallel climate clubs, focusing on their potential to enhance cooperation and emissions abatement. Further, the influence of political pressure groups (lobbies) that represent the interests of the industry and environmentalists on the stability of international environmental agreements is examined. This is done by augmenting the basic model of international environmental agreements with a politico-economic model of political contributions. The potential of trade sanctions to induce international cooperation for climate protection is assessed in an analytical model and the effects of these trade measures are then quantified in a static multi-region, multi-sector computable general equilibrium model of globaltrade and energy.

Full textThe policy of primary vocational training in Lithuania is left out in the back of higher education more often. The national state’s government does not agree upon how this particular public policy sphere should be formed. That is why the aim of this work is to analyze the formation and implementation of Lithuanian vocational training policy, referring not only to different standard documents, but also performing a case analysis (in Kaunas region). While analyzing theoretical aspects of the vocational training policy, it may be noticed that the theories allowing to distinguish particular policy formation and implementation factors and methods explain the processes the best. Nevertheless, Lithuanian vocational training policy today is changing and it is not possible to formulate any concrete model. Lithuanian vocational training policy formation and implementation differ while comparing their rates of efficiency. The strategic documents are formed regarding the recommendations of the international organizations, but institutions rarely achieve the intended goals. The financing of vocational training is also quite complicated as the State Control reproaches the Ministry of Education and Science with its inability to ensure effective administration of resources. The case analysis in Kaunas region showed that the vocational training policy processes are evaluated optimistically only by the experts. The directors of vocational training schools criticized teaching quality process... [to full text]

Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the inclusion of social workers in the Municipal Council of Social Welfare of Uberaba / MG (1996/2009). It is intended for both, state forms of participation and social control in social welfare policy and identify the contents ideo-political objectified by a social worker in times of discussions and deliberations of this Council. One of the relevant sections of this study lies in the approach towards socio-political participation of social workers in the proposed democratic management of social welfare policy, coming from the political-administrative decentralization of the Brazilian State in the 1990s. It is a qualitative study, which adopted a procedure to collect data and the literature review, desk research and field research - direct observation of the 2008/2009 plenary and semi-structured interviews with five social workers who have joined the CMAS as a government adviser, nongovernmental advisor, technical advisor, executive secretary and observer. This work shows that the potential origin that justified the struggle to create democratic institutions, among them the board, finds various limits in the search process of their implementation. Such limits are provided conceptual nature of the class participation of civil society, the technical-political dimension of building a new and progressive social direction to public policies. Moreover, these limits give rise to reflections on the need to rethink the representative for the company as well as the condition and direction of social and institutional struggles for control of the construction of societal life.

Full textThis thesis provides a documented analysis of Malian decentralization through the prism of partnerships between the regions of Timbuktu and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and between the Koulikoro Region and the Belgian Technical Cooperation. The thesis utilises Policy Transfer Studies (PTS) and the cognitive and normative approach toward public policies. It begins with a concise analysis regarding the history of the decentralization reform, implemented alongside the genesis of the Malian State (1960). After the political transition in Mali that began at the end of March 1991, the implementation of decentralization became crucial for the future of the country, especially with respect to the Tuareg rebellion. After more than two decades and in spite of some significant gains, however, this reform still faces various obstacles, which are explored throughout. This thesis then turns toward the projects supporting decentralization in the Timbuktu and Koulikoro Regions, particularly those founded in their respective partnerships. Special emphasis will be placed on the relevance of the support provided, their alignment with the national decentralization policy, and in addition the difficulties of ownership, which hinder the transfer of the "local development" models promoted by the technical and financial partners. This thesis demonstrates that, due to the lack of sufficient financial resources allocated by the Malian government to decentralization reform, this one is in fact in a situation of almost total dependence on international financial and technical assistance. In addition, this project illustrates that the Malian government's new financial commitment to transfer 30% of public revenue to local authorities for 2018 does not give local authorities enough leeway. Finally, this thesis concludes with an analytical overview of the diagnosis relating to the obstacles to decentralization in Mali as a whole, and provides a number of recommendations to help overcome these obstacles

Among the themes that appear in the agenda of environmental policy, the water crisis, which affects a large part of the world, is an important item that arouses the interest of governments and several social, environmental and market segments. In the globalized world, public policies and modes of management of water resources can be seen as a strategic and geopolitical issue given the importance of water for productive processes and life itself. In Brazil, water is managed by the basin committee, an administrative unit that is different from the politicaladministrative division of the Federation as established by the Federal Constitution of 1988. This work aims at discussing and understanding the role of the Basin Committee of the Paranaíba River in the of creation and decision processes of policies for the management of water resources in the basin as an integration of the institutional arrangement as defined by Law 9.433/1997, which establishes the participation of the Public Power, users and the organized civil society as agents in the shared management of water resources in Brazil. The investigated problem has been synthesized into an open question: What is the political protagonism of the basin committees within the institutional arrangement of decentralization of the national policy on water resources? The work is grounded on the hypothesis that the role of political protagonist of the basin committees is secondary in the decentralized structure of management of water resources in Brazil. Multi-method quality research was chosen as it is an approach that does not constrain the researcher to any given specific method only, but it also allows a wider range of data collection. In the present study, upon the association of more than one method of qualitative research, the multi-method approach was configured in the use of more than one instrument of field research and in the performed analysis. The work seeks to analyze and understand the dynamics of the decision-making process adopted by the Paranaíba River Basin Committee, with reference to the decentralization format for the management of water resources adopted by Law 9433/1997 and by the National Policy and Water Resources.The Basin Committee of the Paranaíba River was created through a Presidential Decree on 16 July 2002 and installed in 2008. It occupies an area of 63.3% of the state of Goiás, 3.4% of Mato Grosso do Sul, 31.7% of Minas Gerais and 1.6% of the Federal District. It encompasses 197 municipalities and the Federal District4. The research analyzes the period between the installation of the Basin Committee of the Paranaíba River – namely the year 2008 – and the publishing of the Plan of Water Resources of the Basin, in 2014.
Dentre os temas que figuram na pauta da política ambiental, a crise hídrica, que afeta boa parte do mundo, é tema importante e desperta interesse de governos, de vários segmentos sociais, ambientais e de mercado. No cenário globalizado, as políticas públicas e formas de gestão dos recursos hídricos podem ser vistas como uma questão estratégica e de geopolítica, dada a importância da água para os processos produtivos e para a vida. No Brasil, a gestão da água deve ser feita pelo comitê de bacia, que constitui-se como uma unidade administrativa diferente da divisão político-administrativa da Federação, estabelecida pela Constituição Federal de 1988. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de discutir e compreender o papel do Comitê de Bacia do Rio Paranaíba no processo de elaboração e decisão de políticas para a gestão dos recursos hídricos no âmbito da bacia como integrante do arranjo institucional definido pela Lei 9.433/1997, que estabelece a participação do Poder Público, dos usuários e da sociedade civil organizada como atores na gestão compartilhada dos recursos hídricos no Brasil. O problema investigado foi sintetizado em uma pergunta aberta: qual o protagonismo político dos comitês de bacia dentro do arranjo institucional de descentralização da política nacional de recursos hídricos? Parte-se da hipótese de que o papel de protagonista político dos comitês de bacia é secundário na estrutura descentralizada da gestão dos recursos hídricos no Brasil. A opção metodológica foi pela pesquisa qualitativa multimétodo, uma abordagem que permite ao pesquisador/a não se restringir a um método específico, único, mas lançar mão de mais de um caminho para a coleta de dados. No estudo realizado, ao fazer a associação de mais de um método de pesquisa qualitativa, a abordagem multimétodos se configurou na utilização de mais de um instrumento de pesquisa de campo e na análise feita. Busca-se analisar e compreender a dinâmica do processo decisório adotado pelo Comitê de Bacia do Rio Paranaíba, tendo como referência o formato de descentralização da gestão dos recursos hídricos adotada pela Lei 9433/1997 e pela Política Nacional e Recursos Hídricos. O Comitê da Bacia do Rio Paranaíba foi criado pelo Decreto Presidencial de 16 de julho de 2002, e instalado em 2008. Ocupa uma área de 63,3% de Goiás, 3,4% de Mato Grosso do Sul, 31,7% de Minas Gerais e 1,6% do Distrito Federal. Abrange 197 municípios e o Distrito Federal. A pesquisa analisa o período da instalação do Comitê de Bacia do Rio Paranaíba - ano de 2008 - até a publicação do Plano de Recursos Hídricos da Bacia, em 2014.

Full textThis thesis investigates the problem of the economic organisation of the public sector. It begins by establishing context by considering the two related issues central to it: the boundary of the state and the internal organisation of government (Chapter 1). There is a growing literature that explores the boundary of the state in political economy terms. Moreover, the boundary of the state can be viewed in a similar light to the boundary of the firm. The Second Generation Theory of Fiscal Federalism explores the internal organisation of government through the lens of the theory of the firm. Second Generation Theory assumes that governments are subject to the same problems that firms face: for example, just like firms require institutions to align the incentives of managers and shareholders (e.g., better defined contracts), governments require institutions to align the incentives of politicians and citizens (e.g., better defined constitutions). In order to improve our understanding of economic performance over time, the state should be considered as a complex organisation held together by a series of public choice compromises. Chapter 2 considers one aspect of the state as an organisation: when a boundary change of an existing state generates a new state. It tries to economically capture the birth of a new state through boundary change by taking a cue from the theory of internal exit: the secession of a group of people from an existing state who will then go on to form a new state. Internal exit predicts an internal exit-proof tax rate, i.e., a state will set the tax rate so that internal exit will not occur (e.g., Quebec in Canada). However, in precolonial southern Africa (ca. 1600-1910), internal exit occurred. A well-known example of this is that of Mzilikazi who in the 19th century left the Zulu with his followers and formed his own, new state: the Ndebele. Why is it that in Africa internal exit as a threat failed and internal exit still took place? With the aid of a simple, historically informed model, this chapter offers a political economy explanation of why internal exit took place in precolonial southern Africa. The model shows how internal exit results from the payoff calculation of an elite member’s (e.g., Mzilikazi) desire to maximise his share of public revenue surplus. Chapter 3 considers the internal organisation of government through the role of intergovernmental grants in the context of laboratory federalism. The Public Economics literature on intergovernmental grants is extensive. In this extensive literature, grants are usually analysed according to consumer behaviour theory where income and substitution effects determine community spending (and ultimately community welfare). However, these effects shed little light on how local governments can use grants to experiment with policy (laboratory federalism) in order to develop new, successful policies. In fact, even casual empiricism shows that local governments routinely experiment with policy and achieve varying degrees of success. One recent example is Mayor Bloomberg’s range of anti-poverty experiments in New York City. Very little theory has been produced that ties policy experimentation with the role of grants, however. Chapter 3 takes an organisational view of grants, namely it likens them to incomplete contracts to show how certain grants can be policy instruments for the creation and discovery of new knowledge in the public sector. More precisely, the chapter develops an evolutionary learning model that captures the knowledge gains that different types of grants (e.g., lump-sum grants compared to matching grants) can engender. It shows that a lump-sum grant can bring about greater learning at the local government level than a closed matching grant. Chapter 4 concludes by summarizing and suggesting areas for future research.

Full textThis dissertation examines the political determinants of government spending across different levels of education. What are the political motivations that drive budgetary decisions on primary, secondary, and tertiary education? Who are the beneficiaries of these appropriations? Why are they capable of influencing the decisions over appropriations?
I argue that the distribution of education spending across education levels depends on the capacity of organized groups active in this sector to make their demands heard and served by governments. Better organized groups have stronger capacity to take advantage of the electoral concerns of politicians and influence their decisions on educational budgets. I provide evidence to show that, with some exceptions, the teachers' unions in the primary and secondary schools are the most influential organized group in the education sector. By taking their demands out to the streets, by capturing key positions in the education ministries, and by using their mobilization capacity in the electoral arena, teachers have made governments cater to their economic interests, rather than direct resources in ways that would enhance access to and the quality of education.
I test the theoretical arguments using an original dataset incorporating a comprehensive account of all protests, strikes, and other disruptive actions by teachers, university workers, students, and parents in Mexico between 1992 and 2008. The statistical analysis reveals that 1) states with higher levels of teachers' protests receive larger federal education grants, and that 2) subnational authorities spend more on primary and lower secondary as a consequence of the larger disruptive behavior observed in these education levels. Complementary qualitative evidence shows how the teachers' union has captured the education ministries at the federal and the subnational levels, consolidating its influence over education policy. Finally, this study reveals the teachers' union capacity to leverage their participation in electoral politics in order to defend its economic interests.
