Centro de Políticas Sociais

The book presents a vast list of contributions to the public policies agenda that might be implemented on the most diverse areas during the next decade. It brings the evolution of the production, employment and investment structures in Brazil between the second half of the 1990s and the 2000s decade. Discusses possible Brazilian GDP growth trajectories in the period of 2014-2030. Also proposes the creation of the National Productivity Commission (Comissão Nacional de Produtividade), with the purpose of contributing to the development of the social and environmental welfare state, through the promotion of efficiency, effectiveness and productivity in governmental and business activities. Furthermore, studies the conventional sources of infrastructure financing projects in Brazil and the international experience of public assets securitization as a tool for capitalizing the infrastructure projects from selected BRICS cases. The book briefly demonstrates the current stage of Brazilian education regarding its main indicators and challenges. It reviews the existing literature on the impacts of Brazilian social security on equity, efficiency (incentives) and macroeconomic stability, proposing reforms that increase the long-term fiscal solvency of Brazilian social security. Discusses possible regulatory actions of medical work and evaluates the remission of tax collection in health. Also traces an overview of the relationship between the minimum wage and the Brazilian labor market in the last decades. It verifies aspects relevant to the management of Brazilian biodiversity and the ecosystem services it provides, as well as its relationship with agriculture. Moreover, presents a reflection on the urban mobility situation in Brazil in the recent period, discussing aspects related to the construction of the National Urban Mobility Policy (Política Nacional de Mobilidade Urbana - PNMU) and the current distribution of modes of transportation in Brazilian cities. It analyzes the importance of different patterns of presidential governance in the trajectory of Brazilian development through an analysis of unilateral presidential acts. The book discusses the complementary role of civil society organizations (CSOs) in the public policy management cycle. It identifies new strategies to intensify the formation of partnerships for development by strengthening the institutionalization, in Brazil, of the International Cooperation and Development in a context of the post 2015 Agenda. It addresses Brazilian cooperation for international development, seeking to present elements for reflection and exploration of a public policy in formation and evaluates the Brazilian commercial policy, in its tariff, non-tariff and trade negotiations dimensions. Finally, brings a recent state initiative, in the legislative field, that meets the aspirations of the agriculture business (agrobusiness) for expanding the stock of land for private appropriation, within the framework of a land market whose operation has historically generated a highly concentrated pattern of property ownership.
