A presente Tese de Doutorado tem como objetivo analisar o comportamento do Brasil nas negociações comerciais multilaterais no sistema GATT/OMC, mediante o estudo do processo decisório doméstico que estruturou a atuação do país nas negociações agrícolas na Rodada Uruguai (1986-1994) e, na Rodada Doha (2001 2008), com foco no entendimento do processo de formulação das posições apresentadas, no Grupo de Cairns e, no G-20, respectivamente. A partir desses dois estudos de caso e da análise comparada do processo decisório, incorporando parte da literatura de Análise de Política Externa, pretendemos analisar, em dois momentos, no mesmo tema, a receptividade da política externa brasileira às pressões domésticas. O trabalho procura suprir certa lacuna da literatura sobre coalizões no sistema GATT/OMC, pois, a maior parte dos estudos tem dificuldade em incluir aspectos que se localizam, no interior dos sistemas decisórios nacionais, enquanto variáveis relevantes que ajudam a entender o comportamento dos países em coalizões. / The objective of this thesis is to analyze Brazilian behavior in multilateral trade negotiations in the GATT/WTO system, through the study of the domestic decision making process that structured the country positions in the agricultural negotiations during the Uruguay Round (1986 1994) and the Doha Round (2001 2008). Our focus is to understand the domestic decision making process that structured the positions presented by Brazil in the Cairns Group and in the G-20, respectively. From these two case studies, the comparative analysis of the decision making process and incorporating the Foreign Policy Analysis literature, we intend to analyze at two different moments on the same issue, the openness of the Brazilian Foreign Policy to domestic pressure. The work seeks to fill the gap in the literature on coalitions in the GATT/WTO since most studies do not include aspects related to the national decision making process as important variables useful to understand countries behavior in coalitions.

Diploma thesis "Decision-making process in the Council of the European Union after the enlargement 2004 - common commercial policy" deals with decision- making in the Council of the European Union and focuses in particular on the negotiations at a lower level. The common commercial policy is the target area mainly because of exclusive competences of the European Community. The aim of this thesis is the view of negotiations on the commercial agenda in the Council of the European Union and the coalition groups among Member States. A prerequisite for the analysis is the hypothesis, whether it is possible to derive from coalition groups at a lower level of decision-making the later coalitions in the Council of the European union. The analysis is based on reports of the Committee 133, the key body for the Council of the European Union in the common commercial policy in the period from January 2005 to December 2006. The data set was examined by the cluster analysis method.

Au Québec, la décision de placer un enfant est considérée comme une mesure d’exception. En vertu du principe de maintien de l’enfant dans son milieu d’origine, cette décision doit être prise en tenant compte de la notion de réunification familiale. Lorsque cette réunification n’est pas possible, les intervenants doivent décider de la meilleure manière d’orienter le projet de vie de l’enfant afin d’assurer la stabilité des liens et la continuité des soins. Malgré l’importance de ce processus, les connaissances à son sujet sont très limitées. La recherche sur la prise de décision en protection de l’enfance s’est principalement concentrée sur l’étude des décisions individuelles et des facteurs qui les déterminent, dans une approche essentiellement déductive visant principalement à contrôler l’erreur humaine. Cependant, le processus décisionnel en protection de l’enfance est rarement individuel et la décision n’est pas prise en vase clos. Au contraire, ce processus est collectif, itératif et influencé par différents éléments du contexte. Cette thèse visait à comprendre la complexité du processus décisionnel autour de la clarification du projet de vie et du choix d’un milieu de vie de permanence alternatif à la réunification, dans le cas de jeunes enfants (0 à 5 ans). Les deux objectifs spécifiques consistaient à décrire comment les professionnels interagissent dans leurs routines pour prendre des décisions, ainsi qu’à cerner la manière dont ils interprètent le contexte institutionnel pour y arriver. Reposant sur une approche qui combine la théorie de la structuration de Giddens et l’ethnométhodologie, cette étude est le fruit de neuf mois d’observation de comités aviseurs et d’entrevues auprès d’acteurs clés (n=16). Les résultats soulignent que ce processus repose sur un contexte d’action qui prend forme grâce aux routines que créent les acteurs afin d’organiser et de comprendre leur pratique. Ils montrent la nature nettement interactive et collective de ce processus impliquant la participation d’une diversité d’acteurs avec des rôles différents. Ils permettent aussi de dégager des éléments sous-jacents qui structurent ce processus : les pivots de l’action et les logiques institutionnelles. Considérer l’ensemble de ces éléments amène parfois des tensions qui rendent compte de la complexité et du défi que celui-ci représente pour la pratique. / In Quebec, the decision to place a child is considered an extraordinary measure. Based on the principle of keeping the child in the family, this decision must consider the goal of family reunification. When such reunification is not possible, practitioners must decide on the best way to direct the child's permanent plan to ensure continuity of care and stable relationships. Despite the importance of this process, we know very little about it. Research on decision-making in child welfare has focused primarily on the study of individual decisions and the factors that determine them, in an essentially deductive approach aimed primarily towards controlling human error. However, decision-making in child protection is rarely carried out on an individual basis and decisions are not made in isolation. On the contrary, this process is collective, iterative and influenced by different contextual elements. The aim of this thesis was to understand the complexity of the decision-making process around the clarification of the permanent plan and the choice of a permanent living environment as an alternative to reunification, particularly in the case of young children (0 to 5 years old). The two specific objectives were to describe how professionals interact in their routines to make decisions, and to identify how they interpret the institutional context in order to do so. Based on an approach that combines Giddens's structuration theory and ethnomethodology, this study is the result of nine months of observation of advising committees and interviews with key actors (n=16). The results emphasize that this process is founded on a context of action that takes shape through the routines that actors produce in order to organize and understand their practice. They show clearly the interactive and collective nature of this process involving the participation of a diversity of actors with different roles. They also identify underlying elements that structure this process: the pivots of action and the institutional logics. Considering such elements together sometimes leads to tensions which reflect the complexity and the challenge it represents for practice.

In master´s thesis I deal with analysing of decision-making in PPP projects and searching for an optimal solutions. On an example of hypothetical project there is shown a decision making process which consists from three main parts: cost evaluation, revenue evaluation and risk identification. The result of this analyse is based on a public sector comparator where you can demonostrate suitability or unsuitability of particular PPP offers coming from private sphere.
