Learning for Action in Policy Implementation

Policy implementation science (IS) is an emerging, multidisciplinary field that aims to provide explanations and guidance for policy implementation efforts to improve their effectiveness and other outcomes. Policy implementation intersects with multiple disciplines and utilizes different terminologies from economics, political science, sociology, public administration, health systems and services, knowledge translation, and others. Further progress is needed towards a consensus on policy IS definitions, scope, theories, models, frameworks, methodologies, and outcomes. Practical case examples of using policy IS to drive implementation and outcomes are also lacking. We aim to facilitate a spirited debate on these topics and contribute to the progress and impact of policy implementation science and practice.

AÇÃO CIVIL ANTICORRUPÇÃO

este livro propõe um novo enfoque para as ações por atos de improbidade administrativa e contra as condutas lesivas previstas na Lei Anticorrupção. Trata-se de envolver o cidadão e a sociedade na busca pela reparação de tais ilícitos, através da concessão de legitimidade ativa para que pessoas físicas ou jurídicas, de natureza privada, possam se somar aos esforços estatais no combate a atos de corrupção. Como estímulo, e tendo por base a experiência do Direito estadunidense com o False Claims Act, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act e Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, há de ser oferecida uma recompensa ao autor privado, dedutível do resultado do processo. Com efeito, trata-se de uma mudança sensível de perspectiva para o Direito brasileiro, mas que encontra respaldo no princípio republicano e nos princípios que regem a higidez da Administração Pública. Deste modo, a partir de inspirações de Direito Comparado, busca-se aperfeiçoar os mecanismos de combate à improbidade administrativa e aos atos lesivos praticados contra a Administração, mediante o envolvimento de novos sujeitos neste embate.
