Velhas questões, novos métodos: posições, agenda, ideologia e dinheiro na política brasileira / Old questions, new methods: positions, agenda, ideology and money in Brazilian politics

Izumi, Mauricio Yoshida 27 October 2017 (has links)
Esta tese é formada por quatro capítulos independentes. No primeiro capítulo desenvolvemos um modelo Bayesiano da Teoria da Resposta ao Item para estimar posições políticas utilizando textos como dados. A literatura tem utilizado a matriz de frequência de palavras como fonte primária para modelar as posições políticas. Ao contrário desta abordagem, utilizamos classificações feitas por meio de análise de sentimentos. Para demonstrar a aplicação desse modelo, estimamos as posições políticas dos partidos políticos brasileiros entre 1995 e 2014 utilizando os discursos dos senadores. Os resultados sugerem que, em vez de uma clivagem ideológica, os partidos estão organizados em uma dimensão que representa o conflito entre governo e oposição. O objetivo do segundo capítulo é analisar como ideias sobre políticas são construídas ao longo do tempo. Em termos empíricos, verificamos como o conteúdo presente em um projeto de lei reaparece de forma semelhante em outros projetos. Avaliamos também qual o impacto inclusão de interesses sobre a sua probabilidade de aprovação. Para isso utilizamos todos os projetos de lei apresentados durante a 54a legislatura na Câmara dos Deputados e técnicas de análise quantitativa de textos. Mostramos que projetos que foram influenciados por outros projetos tem mais chances de aprovação, principalmente se eles forem de origem do Executivo. Sugerimos que a inclusão de interesses é o fator chave para um projeto se tornar lei. No terceiro capítulo partimos do principal pressuposto da teoria espacial do voto. De acordo com esse pressuposto, eleitores diante de dois (ou mais) candidatos escolherão aquele que estiver mais próximo de suas preferências. O primeiro objetivo deste capítulo será testar esse pressuposto para as eleições presidenciais no Brasil entre 2002 e 2014. Para isso utilizamos os dados do Estudo Eleitoral Brasileiro e técnicas de escalonamento. Os resultados apontam que a probabilidade de um eleitor votar no candidato que está mais próximo dele do ponto de vista ideológico é extremamente alta. O segundo objetivo do capítulo é verificar se esse resultado se sustenta a despeito do nível de sofisticação política do eleitor. Isto é, testamos a hipótese de que eleitores pouco informados tomariam as suas decisões a partir de elementos não espaciais (não ideológicos). Os resultados contrariam essa ideia. Eleitores pouco sofisticados do ponto de vista político também escolhem os candidatos que estão mais próximos deles. Por fim, no quarto capítulo, o objetivo será testar qual o efeito de ser eleito para um cargo público sobre o patrimônio individual. Sendo mais preciso, iremos estimar o efeito de ser eleito para o cargo de prefeito no Brasil sobre o total de bens declarados pelos candidatos no futuro. Para isso utilizaremos modelos de regressão descontínua comparando os pares de candidatos que foram eleitos e que não foram eleitos em eleições apertadas e que se reapresentaram na eleição subsequente para o mesmo cargo. Os resultados sugerem que ser eleito a um cargo público não tem efeito sobre a quantidade de bens declarada pelos candidatos. Eleitos e não eleitos em eleições acirradas apresentam um patrimônio semelhante após os primeiros exercerem o cargo de prefeito. Além disso, esse resultado não varia conforme a filiação partidária, região ou experiência política do candidato. Também não encontramos efeitos sobre o patrimônio dos familiares e nem efeitos de longo prazo. / This dissertation consists of four distinct chapters. In the first chapter we develop a Bayesian procedure to estimate policy positions from text data. Instead of using word frequencies to model policy positions, our approach is based on sentiment analysis classifications. We demonstrate our procedure by estimating the position of Brazilian political parties between 1995 and 2014 using the speeches of senators. The results suggest that, instead of an ideological cleavage, parties are organized in a government-opposition dimension. In the second chapter we examine how policy ideas are built over time. Empirically, we examine how the content of a bill appears in a similar way in other bills. We also examine what is the impact of preferences inclusion on the probability of a bill be passed. In order to do that, we use all bills proposed during the 54th term in Câmara dos Deputados and we employ quantitative text analysis. The results suggest that bills that have been influenced by other bills have more chances to be passed. This result is stronger for bills written by the executive branch. We suggest that the inclusion of preferences is the key factor for a bill to be passed. In the third chapter we examine the main assumption of the spatial theory of voting. According to this assumption, voters will cast their votes for the candidate whose policy position is the closest to their own views. The goal of this chapter is twofold: the first one is to test this assumption for the Brazilian presidential elections between 2002 and 2014. In order to do that we use data from the Brazilian Electoral Study and scaling methods. The results suggest that the probability of a voter cast his vote for the candidate whose policy position is the closest to their own is pretty high. The second goal of this paper is to assess if this result holds despite of voters political sophistication. In other words, we test if ill-informed voters make their electoral decisions based on nonspatial candidate characteristics. The results contradict this wisdom. Politically illinformed voters also choose the candidates who are closer to themselves. In the last chapter we examine the monetary returns to incumbency in Brazilian mayoral elections. In other words, we estimate the causal effect of winning a close election on the wealth declared by Brazilian mayoral candidates in the subsequent election. In order to do that we employ a regression discontinuity design of close elections focused on pairs of repeated candidates. The results suggest no causal effects of winning a close election on the wealth of the candidates. The results are robust to incumbent partisanship, region, political experience and holds if the definition of wealth is extended to relatives and long term wealth.

Objetiva-se investigar se a inclusão da Guarda Municipal na agenda governamental da cidade tenha sido motivada em decorrência da necessidade de tratamento ou da resolução de um problema social percebido como coletivamente relevante ou, se esta tenha sido motivada por propósitos simbólicos. Ou seja, pretendese discutir se essa demanda política surgiu autonomamente na comunidade ou se o governo municipal criou condições para que tal demanda fosse produzida a fim de dar a impressão que o mesmo estava tomando atitudes. / The main objective of this research work, a study of political agenda setting, is to analyze how public security issues became important and politically significant, making Municipal Civil Guard be part of Juiz de Fora political agenda during Carlos Alberto Bejani’s mandate. This work aims to investigate if the inclusion of Municipal Civil Guard in the city’s political agenda was motivated by the lack of treatment or solution for a social problem recognized as a collectively relevant challenge, or if this action was motivated by symbolic purposes. In other words, it aims to discuss if this political necessity arose freely in the community or if the local government created conditions to produce this necessity in order to show that strategies to solve the problem were being developed.

[en] FROM SPECTACULARIZATION TO POLITICAL AGENDA: A POLITICAL APPROACH OF LGBT MOVEMENT / [pt] DA ESPETACULARIZAÇÃO À AGENDA POLÍTICA: UMA LEITURA POLÍTICA DO MOVIMENTO LGBT

VERA LUCIA MARQUES DA SILVA 03 November 2008 (has links)
[pt] Este trabalho aborda a questão da capilaridade do sistema de representação política, particularmente dos partidos políticos, ao contexto no qual se observa uma explosão de demandas políticas provenientes das múltiplas novas subjetividades. Nesse sentido, apresenta-se o Movimento LGBT como estudo de caso, assinalando duas dimensões de sua luta. Uma dimensão marcada por um poder difuso, que atravessa a ordem cultural e se expressa em disputas discursivas que pretendem determinar a verdade e, portanto, os padrões de aceitabilidade, normalidades sociais. A Parada do Orgulho LGBT, evento que objetiva dar visibilidade ao Movimento por meio da festa, do espetáculo, é uma das estratégias políticas contidas nessa dimensão. Por outro lado, tem-se uma luta territorializada que requer, em nome da igualdade, o acesso a certos recursos - os direitos, já previamente fixados e direcionados a heterossexuais - bem como à implementação de novos direitos pelo viés do reconhecimento da legitimidade de suas diferenças. Essas dimensões implicam-se mutuamente em uma dinâmica que pode ser percebida no âmbito partidário. As regras que regem os partidos políticos enquanto território institucionalizado empreendem uma agenda universalista e em conformidade com anseios sociais generalizados, não sinalizando capilaridade a demandas específicas, como as LGBT. Por outro lado, seus políticos apresentam interlocução com o Movimento, o que ressalta um cálculo político individual. / [en] This research deals with the issue of political representation system capillarity, particularly of political parties in a context in which it is possible to observe an explosion of political demands from multiple new subjectivities. In this sense, the GLBT Movement will be presented as a case study, in two dimensions of their struggle. On one hand, a dimension marked by a diffuse power, which crosses the cultural order, and is expressed in disputes discursive that want to determine the truth, and therefore the standards of acceptability, social normality. The LGBT Pride Parade, a festive event that aims to give visibility to the Movement, is an example of political strategy in this dimension. On the other hand, it has been a territorial struggle that requires in the name of equal access to certain features - the rights, already fixed and targeted to heterosexual - as well as the implementation of new rights by the recognition of the legitimacy of their differences. These dimensions are mutually involved in a dynamic that can be seen under political party. The rules, that govern political parties as institutionalized territory, undertake a universal agenda in accordance with widespread social aspirations, not signaling the capillarity to specific demands, such as GLBT. However, their politicians dialogue with the Movement, what emphasizes an individual political calculation.

Dočasné intermediální vztahy a nastolování agendy: pokrytí kauzy nákupu jednokorunových dluhopisů emitovaných firmou Agrofert jejím majitelem Andrejem Babišem / Temporary Intermedia Relations and Agenda-Setting: Covering of the Purchase of One-Crown Bonds Issued by Agrofert by its Owner Andrej Babiš

Boboková, Blanka January 2020 (has links)
The diploma thesis deals with intermedia relations and agenda-setting in the case of the purchase of one-crown bonds of the company Agrofert by its owner Andrej Babiš. The news story took place in the first half of 2017 and its research was ended on the date of filing of a motion to remove Andrej Babiš from the position of Minister of Finance in the then government of Bohuslav Sobotka. The subject of quantitative analysis of media content is the determination of the influence in intermedia relations, the development of the story coverage over time and the degree of use of links to social networks in news articles. The case study then uses the grounded theory method to identify the variables that represented the media inputs, political context, and political outputs that occurred during the development of the story, and also to look for relationships between the phenomena observed. The work is based on the theory of agenda-setting and a model of contingency of the mass media's political agenda-setting power. The thesis is divided into four parts. The first chapter contains a summary of theoretical concepts and results of empirical studies related to the media agenda building and agenda- setting and the relationship between the media and political agenda. The second chapter focuses on the research...

Hospodářská politika v kontextu parlamentních voleb 2017 - komparativní obsahová analýza / Economic Policy in Parliament election context in 2017 - Comparative content analysis

Lerch, Jakub January 2019 (has links)
The presented thesis 'Economic Policy in Parliament election context in 2017' is describing the media image of successful political parties prior to the elections to the Chamber of Deputies in Czech Republic in October 2017. Mass media act as an intermediator of contact between the political parties or politicians themselves and voters and they have a crucial impact on the party's public appearance and image that is being presented. Especially during the pre-election period are media concerned about the political actions, decisions and election programs. The analysis is focused on the media attention and media space dedicated to the electoral and political topics. Chosen newspapers are Hospodářské noviny and Lidové noviny that represent serious approach in reporting the news. The method of quantitative content analysis allows to show the media space given, describe the type, format and main focus of the texts published. The diploma thesis describes also the political communication according to the theory of the political business cycles. The method of quantitative content analysis benefits from using a large scale of data and showing relevant conclusions at the same time.

Enfants et VIH/sida au Cameroun : construction et implications de l’agenda politique / Children and HIV/AIDS in Cameroon : The dynamics and impacts of political agenda

Kojoue Kamga, Larissa 17 December 2013 (has links)
Cette étude cherche à saisir les articulations entre les politiques de santé publique et les processus de changement politique au Cameroun, à partir d’une analyse centrée sur l’action publique de lutte contre le VIH/sida.La manière dont un problème parvient à l’Etat est révélatrice des rapports que cet Etat entretient avec sa société. Dans le cadre de la lutte contre le VIH/sida au Cameroun, l’émergence et la multiplication de nouveaux acteurs n’ont pas réussi à rendre plus participatifs les choix des priorités gouvernementales. C’est ce que révèlent les politiques de prise en charge et de soutien aux enfants de moins de 15 ans rendus vulnérables du fait du VIH/sida. Les conditions et les modalités par lesquels l’ordre politique établi s’est saisi de cette question montrent la portée limitée des dynamiques locales qui animent la lutte contre le VIH/sida sur les reconfigurations autoritaires du pouvoir politique. Bien qu’elle ne fasse pas l’objet de « controverse » ou de « scandale », la mise à l’agenda de la question de la prise en charge des enfants confrontés au VIH et au sida constitue un terrain propice pour comprendre les mutations politiques de la société camerounaise à l’heure de la globalisation des normes et des pratiques de santé. / This research seeks to analyze the links between shaping public health policies and the influence of political dynamics in Cameroon, with a particular focus on how these dynamics affect the country’s public health agenda of HIV/AIDS prevention. The ways in which a State takes action to address a national issue can be revealing of the type of relationship between that State and its population. In Cameroon, despite the emergence of new strategies and the increasing role of key actors engaged in the fight against HIV/AIDS, the government has failed to make the policy-making process of public health an inclusive process This is well illustrated by the national policies to address the health needs of vulnerable children and youth under the age of 15. The terms and conditions under which these policies were elected illustrate how the residues of a once authoritarian political system still impact decision-making processes at both local and national levels. Although they are not subject to "controversy" or "scandal", the issues of support to children facing AIDS is a fertile ground to understand political changes in the Cameroonian society at the time of globalization of standards and health practices.

It is also to answer if the media are responsible for the possible consequences of the news coverage. My main questions at issue are:</p><p>1. Does the foreign news coverage influence the political agenda setting and the incentives of the public’s willingness to give charity for humanitarian crises?</p><p>2. Is media responsible for the possible consequences of their foreign news coverage?</p><p>I also ask a question at issue in a research of Swedish foreign news coverage in my essay to get a clearer picture of the foreign news coverage:</p><p>3. How does Swedish foreign news coverage relate to prior research?</p><p>Method:</p><p>The second chapter of the essay is a literature research of news selection and news values. The third chapter of the essay is a research of media’s influence on the world politics and humanitarian aid. These two chapters are literature studies based on prior research, theories and debates. The fourth chapter is an empirical study of a news programme on a Swedish TV-channel during a five months period between 2004 and 2005. My interest in the empirical study was to examine how the material was divided geographically and as regards contents. The fifth and sixth chapter of the essay consists of an analysis and a discussion.</p><p>Main results:</p><p>As my main result I concluded that the media influence the political agenda setting and the the incentives of the public’s willingness to give charity for humanitarian crises. The media throw light upon which crises that should be given priority to. The theories for news selection and news value agrees with the result of my research of Swedish foreign news coverage. I also concluded that the media alone was not responsible for the possible consequences for their foreign news coverage but that they are the premier channel of information about the world for most people.</p><p>Keywords: Foreign news, news selection and news value, CNN-effect, Media and political agenda setting, Media influence of humanitarian aid.</p>
