However, since the beginning of its existence, as the Royal Guard of the Police (GRP), established in 1808, the Military Police accompany the models of the public management applied in the administrative state sphere, incurring in transformations every time the political administrative model is altered, maintaining, nevertheless, its disciplinary-hierarchical organization which mirrors in the organicity of the Brazilian Army, as an auxiliary force, by constitutional imposition (CF, Art. 144, ? 6?), although its bond of subordination is with the state government , represented by the respective Secretary of Safety (SESEG). In 2007, the state of Rio de Janeiro started a collection of measures to wait on the demands of the bourgeois recomposing within the structural crisis of capital, promoting wide reformation of the state of public administration, seeking to reduce the government structure in order to reduce costs and increase productivity and efficiency of the provided services. This reformation also affected the Secretary of Safety of the Rio de Janeiro state which has adopted a model of management oriented to following goals, with economic individual bonus to the agents with the systematic gathering of data to subside the control of work and production of the institutions, being legitimated by a complex system of quantitative evaluation of the agents performance. In order to adjust into this new model of management of the public safety, the Military Police of Rio de Janeiro (PMERJ) is restructuring its intern segments, including the training system of the military officers, waiting on the demands of the new managerial model adopted. From this reality, the changes occurred in the military officers training resulting from the Reform of the State of the politic of public safety were taken as the object of investigation, especially in the range of PMERJ. The objective of the research was to verify the relation between the reformation of State, politics of public safety and military officers training. As the historical context, it's been established the period of 1995 to 2015, because of the timing of the reformation of State in the country. It's a basic research, of qualitative analysis, explicatory character, which is inserted in the documental research category, though semi-structured interviews are used to deepen the data analysis. The results of the research indicates that the policy of public security and the initial training of the military police present the same contradiction existent in the State administrative reform: a discourse aimed at mediation of conflicts and a practice focused on serving the interests of the ruling class. In this sense, we conclude that the PMERJ training of police officers in the context of State administrative reform is a result of bourgeois hegemony, although being in conflict with conservative influences. / A atua??o da Pol?cia Militar no contexto democr?tico ? relativamente nova, datando da institui??o do regime atual a partir da Constitui??o Federal (CF) de 1988. Contudo, desde o in?cio de sua exist?ncia, sob a forma de Guarda Real de Pol?cia (GRP), institu?da em 1808, a Pol?cia Militar acompanha os modelos de gest?o p?blica aplicados na esfera administrativa estatal, incorrendo em transforma??es sempre que o modelo pol?tico-administrativo ? alterado, mantendo, no entanto, sua organiza??o disciplinar-hier?rquica, que espelha-se na organicidade do Ex?rcito Brasileiro, como for?a auxiliar, por imposi??o do Art. 144, ? 6?, da Constitui??o Federal, embora seja subordinada ao governo estadual, representado pela respectiva Secretaria de Seguran?a (SESEG). Em 2007, o estado do Rio de Janeiro deu in?cio a um conjunto de medidas para atender ?s exig?ncias de recomposi??o burguesa diante da crise estrutural do capital, promovendo ampla reforma gerencial da administra??o p?blica, buscando enxugar a estrutura governamental para reduzir custos e aumentar a produtividade e a efici?ncia de servi?os prestados. Essa reforma atingiu inclusive a Secretaria de Seguran?a do estado do Rio de Janeiro, que adotou um modelo de gest?o orientado para o cumprimento de metas, com bonifica??es econ?micas individuais a seus agentes, a partir de coleta sistem?tica de dados para subsidiar o controle do trabalho e da produ??o das institui??es, legitimado por um complexo sistema de avalia??o do desempenho de seus agentes. Para adequa??o a esse novo modelo de gest?o da seguran?a p?blica, a Pol?cia Militar do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (PMERJ) est? reestruturando seus segmentos internos, inclusive o sistema de forma??o do policial militar, de modo a atender ?s demandas do novo modelo gerencial adotado. A partir dessa realidade, tomamos como objeto de investiga??o as mudan?as ocorridas na forma??o do policial militar decorrentes da reforma gerencial da pol?tica de seguran?a p?blica, em especial da PMERJ. O objetivo da pesquisa foi verificar a rela??o existente entre reforma gerencial do Estado, pol?tica de seguran?a p?blica e forma??o policial militar. Como recorte hist?rico, foi estabelecido o per?odo de 1995 a 2015, tendo em vista o contexto da reforma gerencial do Estado no pa?s. Trata-se de uma pesquisa b?sica, de an?lise qualitativa, de car?ter explicativo, que se insere na categoria de uma pesquisa documental, embora se utilize de entrevistas semiestruturadas para aprofundamento da an?lise de dados. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que a pol?tica de seguran?a p?blica e a forma??o inicial do policial militar apresentam a mesma contradi??o presente na reforma administrativa do Estado: um discurso voltado para media??o de conflitos e uma pr?tica voltada para o atendimento dos interesses da classe dominante. Nesse sentido, conclu?mos que a forma??o inicial de soldados da PMERJ no contexto de reforma administrativa do Estado ? resultante da hegemonia burguesa, embora em tens?o com influ?ncias conservadoras.

In this study, administrative reform in the EU accession process was analysed with reference to the cases of Hungary and Turkey. The main goal of this study is to show that both objective (economy) and subjective (politics) factors are important and acceding countries to have room to manoeuvre in the context of the social-liberal framework of the EU. To this end, necessary causality between neoliberal administrative reform and EU accession, and determinism in the enlargement process, which leaves no room to manoeuvre for candidate countries, are denied. In conclusion, it is seen that since there is no public administration model, candidate countries are free to determine the content of the administrative reforms within the framework of general principles set by the EU. Moreover, it is found that the EU accession process is closely related to modernisation of the public administration system in the candidate countries and administrative reform has been overlapped and equalized to EU accession. Finally, it is understood that administrative reform with its extensive content, caused centralisation.

The ultimate purpose of the study was to understand the impacts on management of the mencioned company. These impacts came from the administrative reform, drawing in part to perceptions that it had employees and the body of managers, as revealed by ad hoc applied research. The study was contextualized in a historical summary of bureaucratic administration in Brazil, highlighting the reform initiatives in the Vargas era, with the emergence of DASP, when he tried the deployment of classical inspiration Weberian bureaucracy, is also making reference to the second major reform of the Brazilian State, held at the military regime, regulated by Decree-Law No 200/67, and considered the first attempt to reform stamp management. The government of Fernando Henrique Cardoso, has tempted the third major reform, influenced by economic ideas and policies of the eighties and nineties of the last century in industrialized countries, whose governments then gambled on the values and strategies of the market as the most appropriate solution to the problems economic and social, and management techniques of the private sector to become more efficient public administration. Beside the design aspect of administrative management, in Brazil the past two decades, flourished ideas of societal management, inspired by the experiences of participatory budgeting, initiated in Porto Alegre City Hall in 1989 and now spread across hundreds of municipalities. The reform of URB - Recife in 2005, was also analyzed for changes in its structure since its establishment in 1973 and several changes of roles and management models that occurred in the period. It is concluded, both based on the evaluation of responses to the survey cited, as the author's own observations of the study, that the reform had focused predominantly results unfavorable to the desirable performance of the institution. / O tema desta dissertação é a reforma do setor público brasileiro, com foco na reforma administrativa de inspiração gerencial, implantada em 2005 na principal empresa pública da capital pernambucana, a URB - Recife. O objetivo final do estudo foi o entendimento dos impactos na gestão da empresa, advindos de tal reestruturação, recorrendo-se parcialmente às percepções que dela tiveram seus funcionários e o corpo de gerentes, conforme reveladas por pesquisa ad hoc aplicada. O estudo foi contextualizado num histórico sumário da administração burocrática no Brasil; destacando-se as iniciativas de reforma na. era Vargas, com o surgimento do DASP, quando se tentou a implantação da burocracia clássica de inspiração weberiana, fazendo-se igualmente referência à segunda grande reforma do Estado brasileiro, realizada no regime militar, regulada pelo Decreto-lei n° 200/67 e considerada a primeira tentativa de reforma de cunho gerencial. No governo Fernando Henrique Cardoso, foi tentada a terceira grande reforma, influenciada pelas idéias econômicas e políticas dos anos oitenta e noventa do século passado em países industrializados, cujos governos apostavam então nos valores e estratégias do mercado, como a solução mais adequada para os problemas econômicos e sociais, e nas técnicas de gestão do setor priva-o, para tomar mais eficiente a administração pública. Ao lado da concepção administrativa de· vertente gerencial, no Brasil das duas últimas décadas, prosperaram idéias de administração societal, inspiradas em experiências de orçamento participativo, iniciadas na Prefeitura de Porto Alegre em 1989 e hoje espalhadas por centenas de municípios. A reforma da URB - Recife em 2005, também foi analisada quanto à evolução de sua estrutura desde sua instituição em 1973 e as diversas alterações de atribui'4ões e de modelos de gestão ocorridos no período. Concluiu-se, tanto com base na avaliação das respostas à pesquisa referenciada, como pelas próprias observações do autor do estudo, que a reforma focada teve resultados predominantemente desfavoráveis ao desempenho desejável da instituição.

These performance oriented ideas were present in numerous reforms recently disseminated in the Brazilian states, mainly in Education. The need to improve government performance, to do the retrenchment policy and the low accountability were the main impetus for the implementation of reforms in the Brazilian states. In Education, the adoption of the reforms was due to the low performance of students in international and national ratings and, moreover, its dissemination was influenced by a number of actors and institutions, international organizations, Federal Government, federative forums and civil society organizations. Despite the dissemination of this type of reform in Education, each reform has a specific design. In order to understand which variables influence the reforms design, we have reviewed and systematized the literature on public policy and political science that seeks to explain this problem and we conducted questionnaires and qualitative interviews with those who were responsible for reforms in selected states as well as the analysts of education policy. The conclusion is that the political trajectory is a key element to understand this process. / A dissertação enfoca o debate sobre o processo de construção de um determinado desenho de reforma, especificamente, o processo por meio do qual ideias semelhantes de orientação pelo desempenho se transformaram em diferentes reformas. Essas ideias estiveram presentes em inúmeras reformas disseminadas recentemente nos estados brasileiros, principalmente, na Educação. A necessidade de melhoria do desempenho governamental, de ajuste fiscal e a baixa accountability foram os principais impulsos para a realização das reformas nos estados brasileiros. Na Educação, a adoção das reformas ocorreu pelo baixo desempenho dos alunos nas avaliações internacionais e nacionais e, além disso, sua disseminação foi influenciada por uma série de atores e instituições, como organismos internacionais, Governo Federal, fóruns federativos e organizações da sociedade civil. Apesar da disseminação desse tipo de reforma nas redes estaduais de ensino, seus desenhos são diversos. Para entender quais são as variáveis que influenciam os desenhos das reformas, foi revisada e sistematizada a literatura de Políticas Públicas e de Ciência Política que busca explicar essa problemática e foram realizados questionários e entrevistas qualitativas com os responsáveis pelas reformas nos estados escolhidos e analistas da política educacional. Verificou-se, portanto, que a trajetória da própria política é um elemento fundamental para entender esse processo.

Situating it in the context of transformations through which Brazil was passing since end of seventies, context that was marked by the democratic transition, aims to contribute to a greater understanding of that experience of administrative reform. It is propose here that the ways and proportions that the managerial reform has assumed were strongly influenced (i) by the form as the redemocratization process and the eighties crises ended, that means, by the hegemonic affirmation of a reforms platform by the election of Fernando Henrique Cardoso FHC to the Presidency of Republic and (ii) by the role of Bresser- Pereira, Administration Minister of period, and its team with the aims of to elevate the legitimation degree of its proposals, and, consequently, of to get more supports and resources. The main conclusion is that MARE (Administrative and State Reform Ministry) became one the greater gravitation centers of the debates involving the historical signification and purposes of FHC government, despite it do not be among the mains responsible actors by the concretization of the big reforms conceived for the restructuration of Brazilian public sector. / Este trabalho tem por objeto a reforma gerencial brasileira de 1995. Situando-a no quadro mais amplo de transformações pelas quais o Brasil vinha passando desde fins da década de setenta, quadro este marcado pela transição democrática, pretende-se contribuir para um maior entendimento das origens daquela experiência de reforma administrativa. Defende-se aqui que os rumos e proporções que a reforma gerencial assumiu foram fortemente influenciadas (i) pela forma como se encerrou o processo de redemocratização e a crise dos anos oitenta, isto é, pela afirmação hegemônica de uma plataforma de reformas através da eleição de Fernando Henrique Cardoso - FHC para a Presidência da República e (ii) pela atuação de Bresser-Pereira, Ministro da Administração do período, e sua equipe no sentido de elevar o grau de legitimação de suas propostas e, consequentemente, de angariar maiores apoios e recursos. A conclusão principal é a de que o MARE (Ministério de Administração e Reforma do Estado) se tornou um dos principais centros de gravitação dos debates em torno do significado histórico e propósitos do governo FHC, mesmo não estando entre os responsáveis principais pela realização das grandes reformas destinadas a reestruturar o setor público brasileiro.

Comprehends a moment of apprehensiveness and analysis in the reestrcturing process of the city, whose process will show the formation of strategies and deployment of its relation with the social political affectiveness. It represents a single moment in the approach of such a kind of experience in the city. The analysis starts from the third mandate of the Mayor Rosalba Ciarlini Rosado, during the quadriennium 2001/2004, for being the time in which the public management got materialized, such as in the operational way of the social politics. For that, we delimitate this study in two distinct moments: the first one refers to the reform elaboration from the creation of the additional law n? 001/2000 GP/PMM: the second one refers to a practical reform from the social and institutional staff's speech. Within that scenary it was seen that the approaching, though partially, the State Reform and, consequently, the master plan of the state apparatus, which were made of theoretical matrices of such a project locally. However, that is a complex experience, that required the use of field and documental research for the proposed investigation and at the same time, prove the guiding hypothesis of it, what means a grouping of areas like: education, healthy, and social development in only one department City Citizenship Department that is able to materialize a new intitutional arrangement, according to the management principles in the public administration at the govern local level, configuring a reform and not just an institutional adequacy. In that context, it got necessary to apprehending the institutional and social actors' falacy as a way to prove or not the presented hypothesis. Among the first staff, we have the mayor's direct leaders and advisors' perception that express the politcal administrative aspects of the reform and, in the second, the perception of the political view of what has changed concerning the management of the social politics / A tese titulada Reforma administrativa e gest?o das pol?ticas sociais em Mossor?: a fal?cia dos atores institucionais e sociais compreende um momento de apreens?o e an?lise da reforma da prefeitura de Mossor?, cujo processo desvendar? as estrat?gias de formula??o e implanta??o dessa reforma e sua rela??o com a gest?o das pol?ticas sociais.

A última reforma administrativa brasileira de 1998 buscou na iniciativa privada ideias para melhorias em sua gestão, como o princípio da eficiência, o new public management e a maior flexibilidade na contratação e dispensa de trabalhadores. No entanto, a inovação proposta não levou em conta aquilo que as mais modernas teorias adotadas pelas organizações privadas de fato propõem. A noção de que a estabilidade da burocracia na Administração Pública seria perniciosa e menos eficiente não se sustenta, especialmente no tocante ao turnover e à retenção de quadros qualificados. A valorização do capital humano, e não o seu descarte, é que torna melhor a gestão, quer da empresa privada, quer do setor público. / The last Brazilian Public Administration reform in 1998 sought within the private sector ideas to improve its management, such as the principle of efficiency, the new public management and the greater flexibility in hiring and laying off public workers. However, the proposed innovation did not observed what private sectors present-day theories actually proposed. The notion that the bureaucracys stability in public administration would be pernicious and less efficient is inaccurate, especially with regards to turnover and retention of qualified staff. The enrichment of human capital, and not its disposal, is what makes managing better, whether in the private enterprise or in the public sector.

O IPES, para alcançar seu objetivo, a “conquista” do Estado, montou uma estrutura extremamente sofisticada para desenvolver e pôr em ação estratégias e campanhas contra o governo de Goulart, as quais foram disseminadas por todo o país para atrair a sociedade para seu projeto hegemônico. Simultaneamente, construiu projetos de governo e anteprojetos de reformas de base de interesse próprio, que foram absorvidos pelo governo do presidente Humberto de Alencar Castello Branco, mostrando que estavam delineando a condução do Estado dentro dos seus interesses particulares. / This thesis aims to analyze the strength of a pressure group, the Instituto de Pesquisas e Estudos Sociais (IPES), formed by businessmen and military, with support from the U.S. government, which had great participation in the coup of 1964, that overthrew the government of President João Goulart, democratically elected, whose members and partners arrived to conduct the authoritarian state, creating public policies within the liberal mold, and driven reforms, in particular the public administrative reform through Decree-Law 200/67 that fit with the preliminary administrative reform formulated by the Institute. The IPES, to achieve its goal, the "conquest" of the state, has assembled a highly sophisticated structure to develop and implement strategies and action campaigns against the government of Goulart, which were scattered throughout the country. Simultaneously, it built government projects and drafts of basic reforms of self-interest, which were absorbed by the government of President Humberto de Alencar Castello Branco, showing that they were outlining the conduct of the State within their particular interests.

This study investigates differences in approaches to public sector relocation reforms in Denmark and Sweden, using a comparative public administration research design. These countries are both part of a Nordic administrative model, but important differences in their respective administrative traditions exist. Previous research on public sector relocation shows a varying array of arguments and approaches to such reforms used in different European countries over time. Building on the experiences from such research, the study aims to map how public service relocation reforms are conceived and designed. The objects of comparison are a Swedish relocation reform from 2005 and a Danish relocation reform from 2015. The respective approaches in Denmark and Sweden are found to differ on most of the studied variables. Using neo-institutional theory, explanations for these differences, and the few similarities that are found, are attributed to path dependency, mimetic isomorphism, and the internal logic of the reforms themselves. The differences in administrative traditions are not found to have impacted the reforms.
