title: Credibilidade do regime de metas para inflacao no Brasil
abstract: This paper makes an empirical analysis of the relation between credibility and management of the interest rate for monetary policy in Brazil after the adoption of inflation targeting. The relation between the credibility (measured by several indices) and the basic interest rate for monetary policy is verified under two perspectives: the target defined by Central Bank of Brazil's Monetary Policy Committee, and the rate which is prevalent in the financial market. The results confirm the hypothesis that a high credibility requires minor variations in the interest rate for the control of inflation after the adoption of inflation targeting.

title: Theorizing institutional changes: understanding decentralization and federalization in Brazil, Spain and South Africa
abstract: In light of the existing theories about institutional change, this paper seeks to advance a common framework to understand the unfolding of decentralization and federalization in three countries: Brazil, Spain, and South Africa. Although in different continents, these three countries witnessed processes after their respective transitions to democracy that transferred administrative and fiscal authority to their regions (decentralization) and vertically distributed political and institutional capacity (federalization) This paper attempts to explain how institutional changes prompted a shift of power and authority towards regional governments by looking at internal sources of change within the intergovernmental arena in the three countries. This analysis is organized around two propositions: that once countries transit to democracy under all encompassing constitutions there are high incentives for institutional change, and that under a bargained intergovernmental interaction among political actors subnational political elites are able to advance their interests incrementally. In short, through a common framework this paper will explain the evolving dynamics of intergovernmental dynamics in three countries.

title: Local Government Reforms in Federal Brazil, India and South Africa: A Comparative Overview
abstract: This article examines the changes at the local level of government that have been taking place in Brazil, India and South Africa for the past thirty years as a result of complex federal decision making processes. I summarize the most important federal traits of these countries and identify the role of key institutions behind the fiscal, political and administrative changes in local governments. The article draws on the institutional processes to dissect the anatomy of local government reforms in these countries and concludes that although the changes in local government structures and powers have been taken against the background of transition to democracy and/or democratic deepening, the scope of change in local government varied.

title: The Mosaic of Local Governments in Post Apartheid South Africa: Municipal Asymmetries and Spatial Inequality
abstract: Do Vale and Cameron offer an account of the sweeping process of decentralization in post apartheid South Africa. The chapter identifies the main characteristics of local asymmetries in South Africa that emerged out of decentralization and explores the institutional dynamics behind these asymmetries. The findings show that the post apartheid decentralization framework has financially and institutionally enabled mainly the metropolitan municipalities, creating space inequality within the local system of government in South Africa. The chapter also demonstrates through a case study of housing policies in Cape Town and Johannesburg that services vary across metros of different provinces with similar fiscal and administrative capabilities. The chapter concludes that there are several institutional factors behind the creation of an asymmetric regime of place equality in South Africa.

title: Temporality, causality and trajectories: comparative historical analysis in social and political sciences
abstract: The article closely examines the comparative methodology proposed under the "Comparative Historical Analysis" (CHA) approach. The purpose of the article is to highlight the advantages gained with the application of this comparative methodological approach in the interpretation of current complex events. In doing so, the article provides concrete guidelines on how to apply this approach to enhance historical comparisons. In attempting to accomplish these goals, the article pursues three tasks. First, it shows how historical comparisons are useful for the identification of the patterns, mechanisms and dynamics behind complex process in social and political sciences. Second, the article explains the methodological advantages of using CHA in complex historical processes and exploring some methodological innovations. And lastly, the article applies the CHA approach to two current events: the emergence of the armed group "Islamic State" and the Ukrainian Russian territorial dispute. The article concludes that CHA provides an innovative comparative framework to understand complex historical process across countries.

title: Comparing and Measuring Subnational Autonomy across Three Continents
abstract: The literature on comparative local government has been primarily focused on measurement of local governments while it has fallen short in theorizing on diverse structures, dynamics, and functioning of local governments throughout the world. This article posits that large data sets measuring local government indicators help to accumulate knowledge but fail to identify and explain the main dynamics behind local governments activities and processes. Attempting to increase comparability of local government across different regions, this article builds on qualitative indicators of decentralization in three sub regions South America, South Asia and Southern Africa and assesses the evolution of subnational autonomy in the most decentralized countries in these sub regions; namely, Brazil, India and South Africa.

title: Uma experiencia de desenvolvimento metodologico para avaliacao de programas: o modelo logico do Programa Segundo Tempo
abstract: Em 2005, a Comissao de Monitoramento e Avaliacao, orgao colegiado de composicao interministerial e coordenado pela Secretaria de Planejamento e Investimentos Estrategicos do Ministerio do Planejamento Orcamento e Gestao (SPI/MP) demandou aos integrantes de sua Camara Tecnica o desenvolvimento de uma proposta metodologica para avaliacao de programas do Plano Plurianual (PPA) Na ocasiao, foi enfatizada a necessidade de uma proposta de avaliacao menos complexa e de menor custo, a qual deveria preceder a contratacao de avaliacoes de maior profundidade. A metodologia, a ser aplicada a qualquer tipo de programa governamental, deveria estar focada no aperfeicoamento de aspectos relacionados ao desenho e ao gerenciamento de programas, mas com potencial para, ao mesmo tempo, sistematizar a demanda por avaliacoes de resultados das acoes do governo. Para o desenvolvimento da proposta, tomou se como fundamento a metodologia de Exame de Avaliabilidade, de Joseph S. Wholey. Esta foi inicialmente concebida enquanto uma pre avaliacao para se verificar se um programa esta desenhado para ser gerenciado por resultados, e identificar quais as mudancas necessarias para que isto ocorra. Uma etapa crucial da metodologia e a construcao do modelo logico de resultados, que cumpre o papel de explicitar a teoria do programa e aferir sua qualidade, verificando se esta bem desenhado e se apresenta um plano plausivel de alcance de resultados. Na experiencia de desenvolvimento metodologico aqui relatada foram acrescentados novos aportes a teoria do modelo logico, tal como concebida por Wholey e outros autores norte americanos. Esta proposta de construcao de modelo logico desenvolvida pelo Ipea foi incorporada pelo MP, inicialmente em carater experimental, em 2007, em 20 programas finalisticos do PPA. Em 2008, sua aplicacao esta em curso em mais 50 programas. The Monitoring and Evaluation Committee demanded to the participants of the Technical Chamber the development of a methodological proposal for the program evaluation of the Plurianual Plan (PPA) At that occasion, it was stressed the necessity of an evaluation proposal less complex and with low cost. Such evaluation methodology, to be applied to every kind of governmental program, must focus the improvement of aspects related to program design and management, but with potential to systematize the demand for results evaluation of government actions. For the methodological development, the main foundation adopted was the methodology of Evaluability Assessment of Joseph S. Wholey, which was initially formulated as a kind of pre evaluation to verify if a program is designed to be managed for results and to identify what changes are needed to achieve results. A crucial stage of this methodology is the elaboration of logic model, which has the function of making explicit the program theory and to assess its quality, verifying if the program is well designed and presents a plausible plan of results achievement. The actual experience of methodological development, presented in this text, incorporated new aspects to the basic theory of logic model. A result to be reported is the adoption, by the Ministry of Planning, of the Ipea proposal for building logic model. This instrument was experimentally applied, in 2007, to 20 programs and is currently being applied to 50 federal programs.

title: Mobilizando estudantes em defesa do Sistema Unico de Saude (SUS) experiencias interprofissionais do VER SUS Sobral, CE, Brasil
abstract: Trata se de um relato das experiencias do projeto VER SUS no periodo de 2012 a 2016 no processo de formacao interprofissional dos academicos da area da Saude e afins, no municipio de Sobral (CE) Os eixos analiticos abrangeram: construcao historica e social do VER SUS e a experiencia interprofissional no VER SUS.

title: Na parada do lazer: delineando as acoes de lazer em ONGs LGBT de Belo Horizonte
abstract: The present study aimed to diagnose and analyze the actions of leisure for Non Governmental Organizations related to the LGBT movement in Belo Horizonte/MG. Therefore, we present how the proposed methodology the documentary research combined with a field survey, applying the immersion in the field and semi structured interviews as data collection instruments. We analyzed two institutions, through interviews with six professionals working within the recreation. The goals of these actions vary, fitting them since the work of self esteem to the empowerment of the public seeking its social protagonism. There are a variety of actions that involve the several contents of recreation, arts, physical activities. Therefore, this work presents some challenges that invite you to think about the field of practice in recreation in LGBT NGOs, participatory planning of actions, use and appropriation of public spaces for recreation, investment in the sector, and awareness of leisure as a right.
