Na segunda década do século XXI, o Brasil ainda vive o dilema de como compatibilizar crescimento econômico com desenvolvimento social e distribuição de renda para mínimo existencial de seus cidadãos. Os bens de serviços públicos essenciais aos trabalhadores, como saneamento básico, saúde, educação, moradia, segurança e transporte são inexistentes ou aquém da dignidade humana e, consequentemente, ineficazes para a prosperidade do país. Nessa esteira, este livro Políticas públicas estruturantes para o Brasil do século XXI traz propostas e reflexões sobre a universalização dos serviços públicos essenciais, bem como temas de cultura, ciência, inovação, reindustrializa...
State Capitalism under Neoliberalism analyzes State capitalism in agri-food under neoliberalism and investigates State-sponsored actions designed to counter the negative consequences of the implementation of free-market policies and strategies. In particular, it probes efforts of the Brazilian State to respond to the neoliberalization and corporatization of agriculture and food. Between 2003 and 2016, the left leaning Workers’ Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores) governed Brazil, which claimed to support landless peasants, family farming, food sovereignty, and State regulation of the unwanted consequences of the evolution of free market capitalism. The contributors analyze these actions of the Brazilian State, stressing its accomplishments and limits, and argue that the emancipatory actions of the Brazilian State engendered a complex and contradictory set of results which show that State capitalism is a problematic solution to the problems generated by the global neoliberal regime.
This collection of case studies in public management bridges the gap between mainstream CSR - confined to the for-profit corporations -and the vast bodies of workers and organizations that make up government and its public administration. The variety and discretion of managerial endeavours in public management calls for accountability and responsibility of government beyond current legal instruments: The book argues that CSR must be brought to bear with government. In government in fact, knowledge management is not a linear process, but the result of working with passion of the parts, implying discretionary behaviour and creativity which in turn imply choice and responsibility. Cases ranging from the USA to Central America, New Zealand and Europe all confirm the complex nature of public management, entailing partnership synergy for disaster recovery, the intertwined link between management and new technology and mindfulness at individual level. The cases are set in a framework by theoretical essays on bureaucratic behaviour and unknown stakeholders.
O livro Dossiê Brumadinho: impactos do pior desastre humano e ambiental do Brasil é um retrato apodítico da total irresponsabilidade social ambiental dos grandes investimentos industriais. Este dossiê representa um importante marco científico sobre a estreita relação entre o modus operandi de empresas e os desastres ambientais no Brasil. As causas são sempre as mesmas e as consequências são sempre nefastas e geracionais para cidades, territórios, comunidades, pessoas, ar, água, fauna e flora. Este livro analisa os efeitos nocivos deste (neo)extrativismo minerador no Brasil, a partir de cinco eixos temáticos que envolvem o espaço socioambiental de Brumadinho e seu entorno: a dep...
