Burocracia e controle político : estudo de caso da Contadoria e Auditoria Geral do Estado (CAGE)

Garcia, Susana Fagundes January 2016 (has links)
Esta pesquisa é um estudo de caso sobre as atividades da Contadoria e Auditoria-Geral do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul – CAGE –como órgão de monitoramento da execução das políticas públicas. A CAGE é o órgão central do Sistema de Controle Interno do Estado do RS, e esse monitoramento configura-se em um dos mecanismos que permite ao Governador e seus Secretários controlarem a atuação da burocracia estadual. A Constituição Federal de 1988 ampliou significativamente as atribuições do controle interno, levando o órgão a desenvolver instrumentos para o acompanhamento da execução da política pública, bem como produzir informações para subsidiar o processo de tomada de decisão dos gestores públicos estaduais. Com a pesquisa documental, mesmo com limitações, tendo em vista que os dados públicos disponíveis são muitos recentes, é possível observar que as avaliações produzidas pelo órgão de controle interno sobre o desempenho da burocracia, baseadas em critérios técnicos e burocráticos, podem ser utilizadas pelos agentes políticos para alinhar a burocracia às políticas e aos programas definidos politicamente. Assim, o monitoramento realizado pela CAGE tem o potencial de funcionar como controle político, ou seja, o Governador pode utilizar as informações produzidas pelo órgão de controle interno para controlar a sua burocracia e a de seu gabinete de governo. No entanto, essa utilização é circunstancial, não sistemática e dependente de forças políticas. A pressão por transparência por parte da opinião pública e a responsabilização foram algumas das contingências identificadas. Neste trabalho é possível analisar o controle interno enquanto um instrumento disponível e capaz de realizar o monitoramento de políticas públicas, mas não é possível avaliar o quanto a burocracia alterou o seu desempenho na implementação da política pública atendendo à determinação dos políticos. Se, por um lado, foi possível identificar que as atividades desenvolvidas pelo órgão burocrático de controle interno instrumentalizam o governante no controle político sobre a burocracia, por outro, é preciso aprofundar a pesquisa para identificar forças, além das já identificadas, que pudessem levar à utilização sistemática deste mecanismo. Apesar desse mecanismo existir, ele não está integrado a outros órgãos de monitoramento dentro do Estado, levando seu uso a ser contingente. Em uma futura pesquisa poderia se analisar o efeito do monitoramento realizado pela CAGE sobre as várias Secretarias, buscando identificar as respostas da burocracia ao controle político, o que permitiria uma avaliação do papel do controle interno na promoção da transparência e responsabilização governamental. / This research is a case study on the activities of the Accounting and General Auditing of the State of Rio Grande do Sul – CAGE – as a body for monitoring the execution of public policies. CAGE is the central body of the Internal Control System of the State of Rio Grande do Sul and such monitoring is configured in one of the mechanisms that allows the Governor and his Secretaries to control the performance of the State bureaucracy. The Federal Constitution of 1988 expanded significantly the tasks of the internal control, leading CAGE to develop tools for the monitoring of the implementation of public policy as well as producing information to support the decision-making process of state public managers. With the documentary research, even with limitations, considering that the public data available are very recent, it is observed that the evaluations produced by the internal control body on the performance of the bureaucracy, based on bureaucratic and technical criteria, can be used by political agents, such as the Governor and his Secretaries to align the bureaucracy to policies and politically defined programmes. Thus, the monitoring carried out by CAGE has the potential to function as political control, that is, the Governor can use the information produced by the internal control agency to manage his paperwork and his cabinet. However, such use is circumstantial, not systematic and dependent on political forces. The pressure for public transparency and accountability were some of the contingencies identified. In this work it was possible to analyse the internal control as an instrument available and capable of performing the monitoring of public policies, but it has not been possible to assess how the bureaucracy has changed its performance in implementing public policy given the politicians commands. If on one hand, it was possible to identify that the activities developed by the bureaucratic organ of internal control provides tools to the Governor in political control over the bureaucracy, it is necessary to deepen the research to identify strengths, beyond those already identified, which could lead to the systematic use of this mechanism. Although such mechanism exists it is not integrated with other monitoring bodies within the State leading its use be contingent. A further research could analyze the effect of monitoring conducted by CAGE on the various Secretariats, seeking to identify the answers of the bureaucracy to political control which would allow an assessment of the role of internal control in promoting transparency and government accountability.

Tjänstemannaetik i Sverige och Danmark : En jämförande studie av statliga etikdokument

Akbari, Morteza, Yildiz, Nemrud January 2024 (has links)
This study is a comparative study of government ethics documents in Sweden and Denmark. It explores how the role of civil servants and their relationship with politicians are described in the ethical documents of both countries. The study aims to identify and analyze the types of civil servants emerging from these documents, their loyalties, and their political and administrative autonomy. The thesis employs a qualitative content analysis method to examine the documents, considering the differences in administrative traditions and political-administrative institutions in the two Nordic countries. The study contributes to understanding the public administration and ethics within the specific contexts of Sweden and Denmark.

Bradford Non-Lethal Weapons Research Project (BNLWRP). Research Report 3.

Feakin, Tobias January 2001 (has links)
yes / This third report from the Bradford NLW Project aims to give the reader a brief update of developments and debates within the NLWs field over the last few months. We hope that it will be of interest not only to NLW `specialists', but also to those with a general interest in this area. Interest in non-lethal weapons, which have been defined as being `explicitly designed and primarily employed to incapacitate personnel or material while minimising fatalities, permanent injury to personnel, and undesired damage to property and the environment', has increased dramatically over the last five years as a result of non-lethal technology progress and increasing calls from military forces (especially those engaged in peacekeeping) and civil police for more sophisticated non-lethal responses to violent incidents¿whilst there are evident advantages linked with non-lethal weapons, there are also key areas of concern associated with the development and deployment of such weapons. These include threats to existing weapons control treaties and conventions, their use in human rights violations (such as torture), harmful biomedical effects, and what some predict as a dangerous potential for use in social manipulation and social punishment within the context of a technology of political control.

Political Control and Accountability in Ethiopian Rulemaking

Araya, Esayas Kassa 01 January 2019 (has links)
Administrative rules have played a central role in Ethiopian public administration since 1994 when the current constitution was adopted. However, if the formulation and implementation of the rules are not politically controlled, and proper accountability is not applied, these same rules could become threats instead of assurances of the rule of law and order. This case study explored what strategic controls and accountability measures are in place to regulate the rulemaking process. To inform the study, the political control of bureaucracy framework in general and the principal-agency model, in particular, were used. The central research question focused on strategies that ensure the political control and accountability of rulemaking in Ethiopia. Purposive sampling methods were employed, with interviews of five legislators and five appointed officials, as well as supportive legislative documents providing the data. The data were coded and thematically analyzed using a coding framework and a continuous iterative process. The results revealed that in Ethiopia there is a constitutional framework of control and accountability, but there is no political control mechanism in place, and no accountability measures have been taken. The study findings may indicate that there is a need for further studies on administrative and judicial review mechanisms and federated states' control mechanisms to fully understand the situation. The implication for social change includes awareness and attitudinal change of lawmakers and administrative authorities towards the importance of controlling and limiting the power to make rules. Positive social change is nearly impossible where unlimited and uncontrolled power is exercised.
