The Brazilian Way of Doing Public Administration is an accessible collaboration between scholars and practitioners rich with findings applicable worldwide, exploring Brazil’s government’s functioning at various points in recent history.
Challenging some of the established practices of public policy and administration, which have been called into question by the financial and banking crises of 2008, this title investigates public sector management and the public managers acting in the interests of civil society to get to the heart of best practice.
The underpinning assumption of public management in the developing world as a process of planned change is increasingly being recognized as unrealistic. In reality, the practice of development management is characterized by processes of mutual adjustment among individuals, agencies, and interest groups that can constrain behaviour, as well as provide incentives for collaborative action. Paradoxes inevitably emerge in policy network practice and design. The ability to manage government departments and operations has become less important than the ability to navigate the complex world of interconnected policy implementation processes. Public sector reform policies and programmes, as a conseque...
O presente livro referencia o tema de governança no sistema prisional do Distrito Federal, com foco na dimensão do controle, e tem como objetivo evidenciar o modelo de governança adotado pelos órgãos desse sistema no Distrito Federal.

'Global insurance and its rapidly evolving law and regulation demands international research. To this aim, the Handbook offers a truly international collection of essays. Highly renowned experts analyze the key topics currently under international discussion and development. While representing a diversity of national jurisdictions, the focus lies on the largest insurance jurisdictions (USA, UK and Germany) but newly important jurisdictions like Brazil and China are considered as well a most valuable and important contribution to international insurance law literature.'

This book explores Conditional Cash Transfers programs within the context of education policy over the past several decades. Conditional Cash Transfer programs (CCTs) provide cash to poor families upon the fulfillment of conditions related to the education and health of their children. Even though CCTs aim to improve educational attainment, it is not clear whether Departments or Ministries of Education have internalized CCTs into their own sets of policies and whether that has had an impact on the quality of education being offered to low income students. Equally intriguing is the question of how conditional cash transfer programs have been politically sustained in so many countries, some of them having existed for over ten years. In order to explore that, this book will build upon a comparative study of three programs across the Americas: Opportunity NYC, Subsidios Condicionados a la Asistencia Escolar (Bogota, Colombia), and Bolsa Famila (Brazil). The book presents a detailed and non-official account on the NYC and Bogota programs and will analyze CCTs from both a political and education policy perspective.
Este livro acadêmico foi escrito por uma não acadêmica interessada e apaixonada pelo tema regulação, que é uma forma inteligente e eficaz de atuação do Estado. Minha vivência no setor público federal, inicialmente na Carreira de Auditoria da Receita Federal do Brasil e, após, como Especialista em Políticas Públicas e Gestão Governamental me permitiu observar a ação dos diversos atores envolvidos com a Educação Superior Privada e desenvolver algumas ideias e propostas que consolidei num modelo regulatório denominado "híbrido", porque entendo que a existência de uma estrutura formal de regulação não garante qualidade, desempenho e eficiência no ambiente da Educação S...
