title: Accessibility in the State Executive Power units through the perspective of fundamental rights of people with disabilities

description: This article investigates if accessibility, from the perspective of people with disabilities, is valued in the development of electronic government, and if it is reflected in the structure of government portals, contributing to concretize the right to political participation of this social group. For that, with support of deductive method and technique of direct, systematic and non-participant observation, the accessibility in the portals of eight State Executive Power units was verified, contrasting the reality of these sites with the provisions of governmental booklets that contain minimum standards on the subject. It was concluded that, in the studied sites, accessibility is minimal, hindering the pursuit of a more active citizenship for people with disabilities, since access is the first condition of possibility for participation.

title: An assessment of the Decentralized Management Index of Bolsa Família Program

description: The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the number of participating families in the Bolsa Família program (BFP) in the Northeast municipalities and their respective indicators of evaluation of BFP - the subcomponents of Index Operation Factor of Decentralized Management (IDM). We used Pearson Correlation coefficient with data from 1705 counties. The correlations with statistically meaning were between the number of families of the BFP and all the subcomponents of the IDM, among IDM health and other subcomponents of IDM, and between IDM education and Registration Update. The conclusion is that a greater number of families benefited from the BFP leads to a decrease of its monitoring indicators, which points to the fragility of management in municipalities, creating a major challenge for BFP' articulation with other important actions, such as health and education.

title: Overview of the intellectual production of performance measurement in public management

description: In the context of changes in the public administration that aim to enhance government performance, this paper has the goal to present an overview from intellectual production on the field of performance measurement in public management between 1980 and February of 2013. In order to do it, it was applied a citation/co-citation bibliometric analysis using Sitkis, Netdraw and CiteSpace II softwares. The databases used in this analysis were ISI Web of Science (WoS) - that reflects international research - and SciELO - that reflects Brazilian research. The study in WoS revealed the most important authors, journals, pairs of documents and research institutions. Moreover, the study based on SciELO identified that the literature about this field is dispersal. In general terms, the results show that performance measurement in public management is an emerging field.

title: Rhetoric in the construction of realities in public security: approaches of the systems in the states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo

description: The objective of this article is to present a comparison between two actions produced in the public management field of security: (i) the diffusion of the new public management model as a "natural" substitute for the bureaucracy theory and (ii) the implantation of "new management strategies and techniques", which happened almost at the same time as the previous action. The methodological demarcation consisted of a qualitative approach, based on the descriptive research and case study method. The results obtained show that a possible substitution of the bureaucratic theory for the new public management model does not sustain in reality. Also, it was also verified that there are no transformations that can confirm the exhaustion of bureaucracy theory and the emerging of a new theory, as professed by members of the new public management model.

title: The special setting of accounts as a control and accountability tool

description: Rendering accounts is a constitutional requirement and one of the main obligations of public officials. Among other inspection and control tools, the Special Setting of Accounts (TCE) has the goal of protecting the treasury and punishing those who misuse public funds. Based on the concept of public accountability, this article examines the TCE application to agreements between the state government of Minas Gerais and municipalities. Proceedings, which were examined by the Tribunal de Contas (Court of Accounts) of Minas Gerais (TCEMG) between 2002 and 2011, were the target of this study. The results show untimely processing of the instrument and reduced range of decisions regarding the accountability of agents causing damage to the treasury. It indicates that the Court of Accounts has not been able to fulfill the purposes of its institution.

title: Monitoring for the evaluation of regulatory performance of the Brazilian National Institute for Metrology, Quality and Technology

description: The aim of this paper is to present the systematic Madri - Monitoring for Inmetro (Brazilian National Institute for Metrology, Quality, and Technology)'s Regulatory Performance Evaluation. Having the cause-and-effect map developed by Ocde as main theory to evaluate regulatory impact, the research was based on the steps of previous knowledge, evidence search and evidence analysis, using the strategies of bibliographic research, documental analysis, interviews and survey. Composed of perspectives, constraints and parameters, Madri - which can be reproduced, with certain adaptation, to other regulatory realities - has the potential, at first, to foster the management driven by results, generating regulation improvement and enhancing learning, and, then, in a broader way, to reduce the national regulatory system's deficiency in ex post evaluation.

title: Critical factors in the behavior of public managers responsible for sustainable procurement: differences between organizational and individual consumption

description: This paper investigates public manager behavior, in order to identify the critical factors that undergo the decision-making of a sustainable consumption, both in individual (or housing) procurement and organizational contexts of consumer behavior (in this case, it is regarded the sustainable public procurement, concept that was inserted in the Brazilian legislation recently). After questionnaires sent to a group of public managers enrolled in the elaboration of bidding documents and its conduction, there were made statistical inferences to determine the similarities between the two contexts. From the results, it was observed some differences related to the consumer behavior context, especially those involving price, legislation and time spending to specify the products to be purchased. Moreover, it was noted that some environmental friendly standards are well established, as result of campaigns developed inside the institution.

title: The institutional configuration of sport policy in Brazil: organization, evolution and dilemmas

description: Brazil has become the center of the spotlight of the whole world recently, amongst many other reasons, one of them was because it was chosen to host a series of mega sporting events - Pan American Games in 2007, Confederations Football Cup in 2013, Fifa Football World Cup 2014 Games and 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2016. However, little is known about the country's administrative governmental structure focused on sport policy. The available studies focus their analysis on the sport policies content, but not on the arrangement of its structural decision-making. The main aim of this article is indeed to describe, based on official documentation, the evolution and the current arrangements of the government responsible for the administrative structure for the planning and implementation of sports policies in Brazil. Thus, we tried to list the main problems arising from the organization of the Brazilian sports' management. These problems are: (1) inappropriate institutional structure in terms of human resources and obstacles to participation by other social actors beyond the officials (parliament and members of the Ministry of Sports) in the sports policy; (2) disarticulation between public institutions generating redundancies and conflicts of jurisdiction due to the poor division of labor between bureaucracy agencies; and (3) inadequate planning proved by the lack of organization of some institutions, and by the lack of assessment and continuity of public policies over time. Therefore, we must emphasize those problems from above, and due to these administrative arrangements, Brazilian sports' policy has big challenges in the sport development in this country, which includes the creation of a national "system" for sports and a priority investment in sport education.

title: The Brazilian Network for Public Production of drugs in the perspective of supply chain management: the role of ICTs

description: The pharmaceutical industry is characterized as an oligopoly with differentiated products in segments of specific therapeutic classes. The global pharmaceutical companies focus their research and marketing efforts on degenerative diseases, as they bring bigger income as result. In Brazil, a distinctive feature is the presence of a set of public laboratories, which comprise the Brazilian Network of Public Production of Medicines (RBPPM), targeting the needs of the Unified Health System (SUS), in great part ignored by the Big Pharmas. The aim of this study is to investigate the use by Brazilian Official Pharmaceutical Laboratories of contributions derived from the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), towards the integration of RBPPM´s supply chain. In its first phase, the field research was carried out through a quantitative approach in all affiliated Alfob official laboratories. This analysis allowed to raise issues that have been deepened by qualitative approach in three laboratories selected from the previous phase. Collected evidences allowed to conclude that the objectives defined by the Health Department at the creation of RBPPM, that could be facilitated by the adoption of the attributes of the SCM network headed, are still incomplete and erratic. The study demonstrated that despite the theoretical and empirical evidences about the capacity of ICT to integrate processes, the Brazilian government labs still make little use of ICT supply chain management (SCM) technologies, and the performance the few tools found proved unsatisfactory and incipient. It is likely that this evidence is a natural consequence of the fact that RBPPM did not use an approach of SCM at the time this research was conducted.

title: Fiscal Responsibility Law: effects and impact on Alagoas' municipalities in the period 2000-10

description: This paper studies the effect of the law of Fiscal responsibility (LRF) on public finances of Alagoas' municipalities. There was the option of working a theoretical reference less formalist and more critical in relation to the introduction of the new legislation. In the methodology, we manipulated information and data available by the National Treasury Department, raising statistics on those municipalities. Based on fiscal performance and capacity ratings, it was confirmed, on the whole, the success of the pretensions of the LRF in the period 2000-2010. The calculations indicate that these limits were reached, but it was found that they do not guarantee long-term fiscal balance. We conclude that the concept of fiscal responsibility needs to be revisited and this condition does not warrant the municipalities the allocation and distribution capacity of resources more efficiently, in the context of routine changes in national economic policy.
