A constructivist understanding of policy production as a struggle of meaning in which ideas and actors interact is the point of departure of this thesis. Prostitution policy is a salient example of such a struggle and is thus a suitable case for exploring the role of ideas in politics. The purpose of the thesis is threefold: to explain the process preceding the Swedish ban on the purchase of sexual services in 1998, to understand the dynamics in gendered policy and to develop a framework for policy analysis. In the first part of the thesis a dynamic model of frame analysis is developed consisting of three dimensions to analyze: the politically relevant ideas in terms of policy frames (in this case related to gender and power); ideas as restricting and facilitating for actors; actors’ framing strategies and the consequences of strategic framing in terms of risks and limitations. This comprehensive and dynamic model of frame analysis fills a gap in previous policy research. In the second part of the thesis the dynamic frame analysis is applied to explain Swedish prostitution policy. The empirical analysis contains a study of the policy process preceding the ban of 1998, a micro study of the actors’ involvement at a critical juncture and an analysis of the actors’ strategic framing. The thesis concludes that the process was path dependent in the sense that the institutionalization of different ideas, at different points of time, was important for the final outcome. However, the thesis also concludes that the involvement of the actors’, mostly women, was a decisive factor. In relation to previous research the analysis provides a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the policy process both with regard to the ideas from which the client criminalization claim emanated and also with regard to the actors’ role.

Considering these innovations and the different political, institutional, economic and territorial contexts, we have asked how OUC Bairros do Tamanduate? may interfere in the contradiction between, on one hand, by the logics of financial and real estate markets immanent to the production of urban space and, on the other, by the warranty of the right to the city established by Estatuto da Cidade (the City Act) reinforced by the 2014?s S?o Paulo Master Plan, being differentiated from the previous ones and generating outputs befitting to its objectives. / A tese versa sobre as Opera??es Urbanas Consorciadas (OUCs) como instrumento de planejamento, produ??o e gest?o democr?tica do espa?o urbano, tendo como par?metros exemplos estrangeiros de grandes projetos urbanos e as OUCs atualmente vigentes na cidade de S?o Paulo atrelados aos seus diferentes contextos pol?tico-institucionais, econ?mico-financeiros e territoriais. Considerando as poss?veis inova??es trazidas ao modelo pela OUC Bairros do Tamanduate? ? atualmente um Projeto de Lei em an?lise na C?mara Municipal ? nos perguntamos se e como essa nova OUC pode interferir na contradi??o dada, por um lado, pela l?gica dos mercados imobili?rio e financeiro imanente ? produ??o do espa?o urbano e, por outro, pela garantia do direito ? cidade estabelecida pelo Estatuto da Cidade e refor?ada pelo Plano Diretor Estrat?gico de 2014 diferenciando-se, assim, de suas cong?neres e proporcionando resultados condizentes com seus objetivos e diretrizes.
