At the time of the founding of the field of public administration, government was in a condition of some degree of failure. Since elitist and corrupt politics were the predominant mode of government at the time, the cause of this failure was seen as insufficient rationality, and coinciding with this, a lack of scientific information and technical expertise. Also, a popular involvement in government was perceived to be a need. This created a demand for a scientific rational government, run by technocratic experts that was, at the same time, open to popular access. In principle, this idea is consistent with Dewey's thought, but what developed is a form of government that saw science, or the process of bringing knowledge to bear on problems that made interest groups the key mode of access to policy making. This solution appeared to meet the needs of the time, while in fact it was far off the mark. In all of this, Dewey's true and more appropriate alternative was lost. These conditions still exist. The American government is a seemingly, ailing government; but the only thing that is suggested is to have more science and give groups more "participative" access. In essence, virtual gridlock has resulted. One solution is to rediscover and accurately understand Dewey, who can help us rethink science and the knowledge process in government and the possibilities for citizen involvement in government. / Ph.

Since the millennium shift the Swedish public administration has, in a successive and significant way, been moving towards an electronic government. By analyzing policy goals formulated by the Swedish government, this essay aims to describe e-government as an administration model and subsequently answer the question if e-government challenges the traditional Swedish public administration. Based on three different ideal types; The bureaucratic model, The user-oriented model and New Public Management, this essay also aims to relate the policy goals of e-government to the ideal types. The analysis shows that the Swedish e-government is based on ideas which can be related to all three ideal types. While the analysis is not able to unequivocally answer the question if e-government challenges the traditional Swedish public administration, it yet indicates that, reversibly, the traditional Swedish public administration challenges e-government.

The composition of the rural sanitation sector within the Brazilian political-institutional mark and, particularly, in Paraíba State, has been insignificant and, therefore, without condition of supporting its development in a short period. The research was accomplished with the 223 cities of the state, with the objective to diagnose the current situation of the sector in the small communities inserted in their territorial limits. Based on the answers from 60 cities, a view of the water supply systems was analyzed. The current administration of the systems, usually done by the city government and communities, without a defined management model, led to the almost total dismounts of the existing structures. In general, the systems have neither maintenance, nor operational support, nor technical or financial resources to maintain themselves. An organization model was developed as a result of the participation of all involved in the water supply sector, namely: CAGEPA, municipalities and community, in order to present an alternative to solve the safe water access problem faced by the population of the small urban communities / O objetivo do presente estudo é apresentar uma proposta de reestruturação do setor de abastecimento em pequenos aglomerados do Estado da Paraíba, evidenciando principalmente os aspectos legais, institucionais e administrativos. A composição do setor de abastecimento de pequenas comunidades dentro do marco político-institucional brasileiro e, particularmente, no Estado da Paraíba, tem sido irrelevante e, por isso, sem condições de propiciar em curto prazo seu desenvolvimento. Foi realizada uma pesquisa com os 223 municípios do Estado, com intuito de diagnosticar a situação atual do setor nas pequenas localidades inseridas nos seus limites territoriais. Com base nas respostas de 60 prefeituras, pôde-se ter um panorama dos sistemas de abastecimento existentes. A administração atual dos sistemas, via de regra realizada pelas prefeituras e comunidades, sem modelo gerencial definido, conduziu ao desmonte quase total das estruturas. Em geral, os sistemas não dispõem de manutenção, apoio operacional, e recursos técnicos e financeiros para se manterem. Como resultado foi desenvolvido um modelo organizacional que conta com a participação de todos os entes envolvidos no setor de abastecimento, sejam eles: a CAGEPA, prefeitura e a própria comunidade, com vista a apresentar uma alternativa para solucionar a problemática de acesso a água segura enfrentada pela população dos pequenos aglomerados urbanos

Neste trabalho de pesquisa, buscou-se detectar o modelo de gestão e a visão ética do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Ceará Campus Iguatu, adotados para o período de 2009 a 2013, sob a ótica das escolas de pensamento estratégico. Para tanto, após o estudo bibliográfico e a construção dos capítulos teóricos, efetuou-se uma descrição do Plano de Desenvolvimento Institucional (PDI) dessa instituição, assim como, uma análise documental desse PDI para o período citado, tomando-se como base as características principais das escolas de pensamento estratégico que estavam presentes no PDI para a constatação do modelo de gestão. Em seguida, tomando-se por base a ética corporativa, com ênfase na responsabilidade social corporativa, buscou-se constatar a visão ética da gestão do IFCE Campus Iguatu para o período já mencionado e realizou-se, também, uma confrontação entre o panorama histórico da gestão na escola pública e as características da escola estratégica com a qual a gestão da instituição teve semelhanças para se entender melhor a dinâmica dessa gestão. Por fim, foi possível concluir que a gestão do IFCE Campus Iguatu caracteriza-se como uma gestão de planejamento estratégico (a segunda das escolas de pensamento estratégico abordadas neste trabalho) e que a visão ética dessa gestão segue os preceitos da ética de responsabilidade social corporativa. / This research work aimed at detecting the specific administration model and the ethical vision of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of the state of Ceará Campus Iguatu, adopted for the period from 2009 to 2013, from the perspective of the schools of strategic thought. To this end, after the bibliographical study and the construction of the theoretical chapters, a description of the Institutional Development Plan (PDI, in Portuguese) of the said institution follows, as well as a documental analysis of that PDI for the mentioned period, on the basis of the main characteristics of the schools of strategic thought that were present in the PDI, in order to identify the underlying administration model. As a next step, from the perspective of corporate ethics, with emphasis in corporate social responsibility, it was sought to verify the ethical vision of the administration of the IFCE Campus Iguatu for the period already mentioned. Furthermore, a confrontation between the historical panorama of the administration in the public school and the characteristics of the strategic school with which the administration of the institution had similarities was undertaken in order to better understand the dynamics of that administration. Finally, it was possible to end that the administration of the IFCE Campus Iguatu is characterized as an administration of strategic planning (second of the schools of strategic thought approached in this work) and that the ethical vision of that administration follows the precepts of the ethics of corporate social responsibility.
