A politica cientifica e tecnologica e a politica de inclusão social : buscando convergencia / Science and technology and social inclusion policies : seeking convergence

Serafim, Milena Pavan, 1981- 24 March 2008 (has links)
Orientador: Renato Peixoto Dagnino / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Geociencias / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-10T23:50:14Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Serafim_MilenaPavan_M.pdf: 1266147 bytes, checksum: c041fc24b4301baf7db9b5a6e1f4ff97 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008 / Resumo: Esta dissertação analisa duas políticas públicas ¿ a política científica e tecnológica (PCT) e a política de inclusão social (PIS) ¿ e tem como ponto de partida a constatação de que existe uma inadequada interação entre elas. Como objetivo, este trabalho busca produzir elementos cognitivos capazes de possibilitar sua interlocução e convergência. Como hipótese explicativa da inadequada interação entre as duas políticas e de sua incapacidade para viabilizar a inclusão social, apontamos para o modelo cognitivo usado para a sua elaboração. O entendimento que os atores envolvidos com as políticas - formuladores, gestores, estudiosos da PIS e da PCT, etc. ¿ têm da relação entre ciência, tecnologia e sociedade e, em particular, a predominância das concepções da neutralidade e do determinismo científico e tecnológico, que ocupa um papel central nesse modelo cognitivo, é a importante condicionante dessa situação. Para estudar essa inadequada interação, usamos o instrumental de Análise de Política, dada a sua capacidade de explicitar os aspectos políticos envolvidos no processo de elaboração das políticas públicas e como estes influenciam o seu conteúdo. É privilegiada a análise dos processos de identificação de prioridades, de conformação da agenda e de formulação da política, por entendermos que eles são importantes para identificar o modelo cognitivo das políticas e, no âmbito de nosso trabalho, caracterizar a inadequada interação entre as duas políticas. O estudo da trajetória das duas políticas revelou mudanças mais ou menos concomitantes, associadas às alterações do contexto que as envolve. No caso do período mais recente, embora o governo atual tenha proposto um estilo de desenvolvimento distinto do até então adotado, o modelo cognitivo das duas políticas não se alterou de forma significativa, uma vez que foram mantidas aquelas concepções acerca da C&T. Como proposta normativa, este trabalho concebeu o que denominamos de "Enfoque Científico-tecnológico para Inclusão Social" orientado a viabilizar a interação entre as duas políticas através da constituição de um modelo cognitivo baseado na crítica àquelas duas concepções / Abstract: This Master's dissertation is focused on the analysis of two important public policies: science and technology policy and social inclusion policy. The study is based on the perception that the interaction between the two policies is rather inadequate. It is thus directed to discussing elements that may be used toward stimulating the interaction and convergence of these two policies. As an explanatory hypothesis regarding this inadequate interaction and the constraint it represents for social inclusion, we point out to the cognitive model used in the elaboration of these two policies. The perception shared by those involved with this process ¿ policy makers, administrators, STP and SIP researchers, etc. ¿ regarding science and technology and their relation to society, and particularly the view on scientific and technological neutrality and determinism, which plays a pivotal role in this cognitive model, is the main cause of this situation. In order to study in detail this inadequate interaction between the two policies, the Policy Analysis framework is utilized, given its capability of unveiling political aspects that involve policy making and policy characteristics. The analytical tools for priority identification, agenda conformation and policy making are emphasized, due to their importance in allowing a more complete understanding of public policies, including the cognitive model that shapes them and the aspects of their interaction. The analysis of the trajectory of these two policies has revealed some significant changes, somewhat connected, that are associated to some broader contextual changes. Particularly in the more recent period, despite a new proposal for development from the current office, it is noted that the cognitive model of the two policies has not been significantly altered, due to the persistence of the views on scientific and technological neutrality and determinism. As a normative proposal, the ¿Cognitive Approach to Social Inclusion¿ is presented. It is directed towards allowing the interaction between the two policies through the construction of a cognitive model based on the criticism concerned the views on scientific and technological neutrality and determinism / Mestrado / Mestre em Política Científica e Tecnológica

Control, compulsion and controversy: venereal diseases in Adelaide and Edinburgh 1910-1947

Lemar, Susan. January 2001 (has links) (PDF)
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 280-305). Argues that despite the liberal use of social control theory in the literature on the social history of venereal diseases, rationale discourses do not necessarily lead to government intervention. Comparative analysis reveals that culturally similar locations can experience similar impulses and constraints to the development of social policy under differing constitutional arrangements.

Rural energy systems and the rural development process: a case study from Limpopo Province

Ntobeng, Ntwampe Albert 30 April 2007 (has links)
The rapid and sustained development of the rural regions of South Africa continues to pose an extraordinary challenge to the development community of the country. Policy makers continue to be overwhelmed by the lack of development in the rural areas in spite of the various efforts made to develop them. A review of the publications and development plans of the study region indicates that the planners have for long been pre-occupied with taking limited perspectives of the development planning problems. Development plans have been conceived and implemented in terms of individual sectors instead of looking at their relations with other sectors and regions. This study seeks to make a contribution to the solution of the development problems of the rural areas of the former homeland regions by demonstrating how an integrated approach to the research process and to development planning could make a difference to the lives of the rural communities. This theme is illustrated with reference to the rural energy sector and its relations with the broader regional development problems, challenges and plans of the Sekhukhune district municipality of the Limpopo Province. / GEOGRAPHY / MA (GEOGRAPHY)

Innovations in South African Public Service Procurement Policy : 1999-2005

Van der Walt, Elizabeth Magdalena 09 May 2013 (has links)
This dissertation has shown that public procurement regulation takes place through regulatory documents that mainly underwent a name change and that the only changes are found in the reporting framework. The South African government identified public procurement as an active instrument to achieve social and economic goals. To provide substance to this realisation, public procurement was taken up in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996. The constitution prescribes a procurement system that is fair, equitable, transparent, competitive and cost-effective. / Public Administration & Management / M. Admin. (Public Administration)
