It sought to characterize the City of Goiás by its historical review and presenting some reports from magazines and newspapers. There was also a historical, political, economic and social review of the establishment and implementation of health policy in that city. Some references and interviews were presented. So, the municipal management of health policy was systematized in the city of Goiás and around it problematizing difficulties, setbacks and challenges. This work highlighted class interests, tensions, conflicts and contradictions by the historical trajectory of the region. The qualitative and quantitative research enabled bibliographic, documental and empirical informations through semi-structured interviews. Twenty one subjects were interviewed: six mayors, eight municipal health secretaries, three social workers, three workers and two users. Through the document analysis and testimonials, was founded the position of each management according to perspectives, social, cultural and political advances, retreats and regional and local challenges, as well as lack of autonomy or not, mediation, ethical and political commitment. This work can contribute as a source of research and systematization of the process developed in the municipal health efforts of the study period until 2011 and as a register of development and reverse in each management showing the reality of services provided by health policy in the City of Goiás and the region. This work started from the description of social policy geared to working class interests aiming to cope expressions of the social issue and its challenges about justice and attention to differences. All health policy process in the City of Goiás was registered, since its municipalization until the present time, when it is recognized as a universal right and duty of the state. / Esta dissertação tem como perspectiva apreender aspectos da conjuntura sociopolítica de saúde na Cidade de Goiás entre 1988 e 2010: aspectos históricos, legais, a Reforma Sanitária e a Seguridade Social; as Diretrizes e princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde; gestão, financiamento e controle social do SUS; a Cidade de Goiás e a política de saúde. Procurou-se uma caracterização da Cidade de Goiás por meio da revisão de seu patrimônio histórico e apresentando algumas reportagens veiculadas em revistas e jornais.

In this dissertation were analyzed the living conditions and health of patients mentioned above, the perception of those in relation to their health rights, as citizens. It was observed how poor education and lack of participation in organizations or social movements interfere with the search for these rights, leading them to a committed life in the physical and emotional aspects. It was also made an attempt to analyze, in a given period of Brazilian history, how the State met and continues to meet the interests of capital over the interests of the population, increasingly moving away from its responsibility to implement public social policies contained in legal scaffolds, such as our 1988 Constitution, which implemented the SUS after decades of struggles. It was also analyzed how the lack of knowledge by citizens of their rights can enable the consolidation of increasingly greater absence of the Government, making social policies increasingly exclusionary and contradicting of the principles of the SUS, being these the universality and access to public, thus favoring the growth of private health services. Finally, it discussed how this privatization process will hurt everyone involved in the process, ie, SUS users, students, public servants in the health and education institutions, which are, in the specific case, the university hospitals. / A proposta desta dissertação é apreender quais as implicações sociais da cirurgia de artroplastia de quadril nas condições de vida dos usuários atendidos no ambulatório e clínica de ortopedia do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Goiás no período de 2011/2012. Nesta dissertação foram analisadas as condições de vida e saúde dos pacientes anteriormente citados, qual a percepção desses em relação aos direitos, saúde, enquanto cidadãos. Percebeu-se como a baixa escolaridade e a falta de participação em organizações ou movimentos sociais interferem na busca pelos direitos desses, levando-os a uma vida comprometida nos aspectos físico e emocional. Buscou-se também analisar, num determinado período da história brasileira, de que forma o Estado atendia e continua atendendo aos interesses do capital em detrimento dos interesses da população, se afastando cada vez mais da sua responsabilidade de implementação das políticas públicas sociais previstas nos arcabouços legais, como a nossa Carta Magna de 1988, que implantou o SUS após décadas de lutas. Analisou-se, ainda, como a falta de conhecimento por parte dos cidadãos dos seus direitos pode propiciar a sedimentação dessa ausência cada vez maior do Estado, tornando as políticas sociais públicas cada vez mais excludentes, contrariando um dos princípios dos SUS, que é a universalidade e acesso aos serviços públicos e favorecendo, assim, o crescimento da saúde privada. Finalmente, abordou como essa privatização vai prejudicar todos os envolvidos no processo, ou seja, os usuários do SUS, os estudantes, os servidores das instituições públicas de saúde e educação, que são, no caso específico, os hospitais universitários.

The conducted research that is part of the dissertation made it possible to identify the process of institutionalization of assistance measures from the establishment of the municipality of Goiânia, the creation of the Municipal Foundation of Community Development (Fumdec), in 1974, and the adoption of LOAS regulation in 1933, and SUAS regulation, in 2003. The study captured the profile and the concept of assistance and interventive actions, denoting the hegemonic and aidoriented conception that can be seen in the relationships, interests and ideology of social classes, in politics and in the actions developed under the so-called primeiro damismo (as duties usually performed by first ladies), with a strong ideo-political updating/reproduction of political conservatism. The analysis shows the institutionalization of the social assistance concept in Goiânia, conceived as a public social policy; under the Brazilian Constitution of 1988, as a Social Security policy, which was homologated by the Organic Act of Social Assistance (LOAS), in 1993, and regulated according to the instruments to ensure the effectiveness and implementation of the Social Assistance System (SUAS), from 2003. The present research focused on the democratic administration of the municipal government of Goiânia, from 2000 to 2004, the systematization of the Project Pra Ninguém Ficar de Fora ( Everybody is Covered ), and the creation of the Municipal Department of Social Assistance in Goiânia (SEMAS), in 2007. / Esta dissertação de mestrado analisa as concepções de assistência social, predominantes nas gestões municipais de Goiânia, nova capital do Estado, fundada em 1933. A pesquisa desenvolvida e que integra a dissertação possibilitou identificar o processo de institucionalização das ações assistenciais, desde a fundação de Goiânia, à criação e instituição da Fundação Municipal de Desenvolvimento Comunitário (Fumdec), em 1974 e à institucionalidade no âmbito da gestão pública, nos marcos da LOAS em 1993 e do SUAS em 2003. O estudo apreendeu o perfil e a concepção de assistência e ações interventivas, denotando a concepção hegemônica, com a orientação de práticas assistencialistas, tuteladoras manifestadas nas relações, interesses e ideologia das classes sociais, na política e nas ações desenvolvidas com a marca do primeiro damismo, com forte presença da atualização/reprodução ídeo-política do conservadorismo. A análise demonstra a institucionalidade da concepção da assistência social em Goiânia, concebida como política social pública; nos marcos da Constituição Federal de 1988, como política de Seguridade Social, homologada pela Lei Orgânica da Assistência Social (LOAS) em 1993, e regulamentada nos instrumentos de efetivação e implementação do Sistema Único de Assistência Social (SUAS), a partir de 2003. No desenvolvimento da pesquisa e análise sobre a institucionalidade da Assistência Social, o foco recaiu sobre a gestão democrático-popular de Goiânia, de 2000 a 2004, com a sistematização do Projeto Pra Ninguém Ficar de Fora, e a criação da Secretaria Municipal de Assistência Social em Goiânia (SEMAS), em 2007.

This thesis is concerned with social policy during structural transformation, focusing on the case of Ethiopia. The thesis takes a realist, case-based approach to the study of social policy, which recognises that political actors construct the domain of 'social' policy within legitimising discourses in specific national-historical contexts. Social policy is a key aspect of state-society relations and an inherently political field of study. Consequently, the study integrates analysis of cleavages in domestic society along class and ethnic lines, the role of state organisations and international influences, and their impact on the social policy pronouncements by senior government officials and implementation of those policies on the ground. In the Ethiopian case, this approach highlights the centrality of land to social policy and state• society relations. In particular, state land ownership is a key part of the government's development strategy that aims to combine egalitarian agricultural growth with security for smallholders. Nevertheless, the failure to expand the use of productivity-enhancing agricultural inputs, which constitute key complements to the use of land for social objectives, has led to differentiation in social policy provision along class, gender, age and ethnic lines. Micro-level case studies link the land question to food security, including the Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP), and processes of agricultural commercialisation, notably the so-called 'global land grab'. A main argument of the thesis is that the Ethiopian government is attempting to manage social processes in order to minimise the social and political upheaval involved in structural transformation, and that social pol icy is a central means by which it does so. The development strategy requires social policies that enable the government to control the allocation of factors of production, necessitating restrictions on the rights of individuals and groups. As such, this strategy is intricately intertwined with political authority.

In recent years the creative industries have become a focus of policy and academic discussion across the world. However, much of the existing literature has concentrated on national perspectives or on social and economic regeneration strategies in large cultural cities while data and understanding at the local level is more limited. This thesis aims to help redress this imbalance by focussing on the smaller and less established context of Urban South Hampshire on the central south coast of England. Longitudinal case studies are used to explore two key research questions, firstly, what are the needs, motivations and experiences of people hoping to develop careers and businesses in the sector; and secondly, how can local initiatives and public sector interventions support creative industries development. While some guidance is available to assist local and regional decision-makers there are few studies which follow the evolution of specific interventions over time to evaluate their effectiveness and inform future sectoral strategies. Although the urban bias of the creative industries is well documented this thesis argues that under the right conditions and with the right policies and initiatives towns and smaller cities can offer a more welcoming, affordable and socially cohesive creative milieu in contrast to the highly competitive environments of major cities. Demand for specialist initiatives with a dual focus on nurturing creative practice as well as promoting enterprise and business skills is also highlighted. This is especially relevant at the cultural-end of the sector which is becoming increasingly exposed to market pressures in part due to recent cuts in public sector spending. The thesis also argues that creative individuals are seeking new spaces to exist within the sector which allow them a level of creative autonomy over their practice while also enabling them to develop sustainable careers and successful businesses.

Propomos uma reflexão da intervenção do Estado, diante a incapacidade dos sujeitos, inseridos em uma situação de vulnerabilidade prover seu próprio sustento. Famílias em situação de riscos e socialmente vulneráveis, incapazes de suprir suas necessidades de acesso a alimentos, as condições adequadas de habitação, educação, desprovidas de trabalho e renda, condições que geram insegurança e desproteção social. O caminho percorrido no texto propõe um alargamento da reflexão sobre os modos de enfrentamento da pobreza, percebida como reflexo das desigualdades, compreendida do mesmo modo, como instrumento de iniquidade, fenômeno persistente e de longa duração. Investigar a pobreza e as desigualdades como instrumento da exclusão social, remete-as ao campo multifacetado de sua abrangência. Desse modo, situar o debate em torno da questão social, revelará o processo histórico pelo qual foram concebidas as orientações do Estado, as lutas, conflitos e conquistas no campo da afirmação dos direitos. Ressalta-se que aqueles, são concebidos no processo sócio-histórico como universais, no entanto se perdem diante dos interesses sistêmicos das políticas reformistas. Cabe destaque, ao movimento da sociedade civil, na denúncia constante dos antagonismos que engendraram a distribuição das riquezas, construídas por todos, mas apropriada por poucos. Um novo paradigma sócio-político requer a redistribuição dos ativos, de modo a prover novas oportunidades e capacidades, que poderão ser ofertadas aos sujeitos, emancipando-os da distribuição focalizada/regulada de renda. / It is investigating the impacts of the action of social policies in tackling inequality, exclusion and poverty through the Bolsa Family Program (BFP). We propose a reflection of state intervention, given the inability of the subjects, placed in a vulnerable situation to provide their own support. Families at risk and socially vulnerable, unable to meet their needs for access to food, adequate housing, education, lack of employment and income conditions that generate insecurity and lack of social protection. The path in the text proposes an extension of reflection on ways of fighting poverty, seen as a reflection of inequalities, understood the same way as an instrument of injustice, and persistent phenomenon of long duration. To investigate the poverty and inequality as an instrument of social exclusion, refers them to the multifaceted field of its coverage. Thus, locating the debate on social issues will reveal the historical process by which the guidelines were designed by the State, the struggles, conflicts and achievements in the affirmation of rights. It is emphasized that these are conceived in socio-historical process as universal, but are lost before the interests of systemic reform policies. It is worth mentioning, the civil society movement, the constant complaint that the antagonisms engendered the distribution of wealth, built by everyone, but by few. A new socio-political paradigm requires the redistribution of assets in order to provide new opportunities and capabilities that may be offered to individuals by freeing them from the distribution focused/adjusted income.

Death and dying are emerging as substantial topics for political and social debate in contemporary UK society. The management of end of life, traditionally defined within a medical model of care, is being challenged by a cultural shift that is apparent in the changing trajectory of dying, increasing healthcare consumerism and a rising human rights rhetoric. To a significant extent, liberty to determine one’s own death, and to request assistance to die, has come to be articulated by some as a “right to die”. Human rights discourses grounded in the values of dignity and freedom of choice are important and relevant to dying in the UK. These discourses have the potential to influence law and policy, practices and public opinion on end of life. However, there is no sociological analysis of how or when rights have come to be appropriated in an end of life context and no explanation of in what way, or to what extent, social actors are using rights discourses in relation to death and dying. This research explores the centrality of human rights discourses to end of life policy and debate on assisted death in the UK. A broad social constructionist approach to rights is taken to illuminate the ways in which selected actors understand and articulate rights in an end of life context, and how, as a result of this, a right to die may be conceived. It includes the examination of: current UK law and policy documents; transcripts of the historical and contemporary House of Lords debates; a case study of a highly influential organisation (Dignity in Dying) who campaign to legalise assisted dying, and three focus group discussions with Death Café Hampstead participants. Analysis of the data reveals that rights discourses involving individual liberty, dignity and human vulnerability are central to defining the end of life debate and policy. A notion of rights at the end of life has impacted our perception of dying but in ways that are complex, and arise as a reflection of dying at a specific period in time.

How does change in economic, social and political institutions occur? How aregender and other social inequalities reproduced through and challenged byprocesses of institutional creation, evolution and innovation? And can institutionsbe transformed for greater equity and inclusion? These are big questions forfeminist political scientists to whom a better understanding of real world puzzles isnot only of theoretical but also of practical relevance. By looking at recent socialpolicy reforms and innovations in Chile this thesis contributes to moving thisresearch agenda forward. Drawing on conceptual and methodological tools fromhistorical institutionalism and feminist political science, it provides a theoreticallyinformed and empirically grounded account of how institutional change happensand why thoroughgoing transformations are so difficult to achieve. As an essentialpart of this endeavor, it highlights the multiple ways in which gender shapes and isshaped by broader processes of policy reform and innovation. Bolstered byabundant empirical evidence from four reform episodes-the 2002-2004 healthreform, the 2008 pension reform, the 2006-2010 expansion of childcare services,and the reform of maternity leave in 2011-the thesis interrogates the scope andthe quality of recent changes, analyzes their implications for women's rights andgender equality, and unveils the complex interplay of institutional, agential andideational factors that have shaped specific policy choices. It holds that none of thepolicy areas has experienced sweeping change or path departure. Instead, policyinnovations have taken place in historically and contextually bounded ways: whilethe scope and purpose of existing welfare institutions has been redefined and newrules have been layered on to previously existing institutional arrangements, coreelements of these arrangements-and of the broader context-have remainedfirmly in place. Against this backdrop, positive gender change did indeed occur:greater access to non-contributory pensions, more accessible childcare services andmore generous maternity leave regulations all benefit women. Yet, selective andpiecemeal reform strategies also entailed important trade-offs that hamper theequity-enhancing effect of otherwise important policy innovations. This generalverdict, however, conceals important variations across policy areas both in terms ofthe (re)articulation of state-market relationships and in terms of the integration ofgender concerns. The thesis locates these variations at the intersection of sectorspecificpolicy legacies and more contingent moments of political opportunity.

O presente estudo tem como objeto o Programa Bolsa Família, buscando captar, junto aos usuários, as suas impressões acerca deste, que é o carro-chefe dos programas sociais do atual governo federal. Com base nos pressupostos de que o Bolsa Família tem forte apelo popular; é legitimado em larga escala por diferentes segmentos sociais e tem centralidade no campo da Assistência Social, a hipótese é de que os usuários, enquanto beneficiários diretos do Programa tendem à sua defesa, apesar de dificuldades e problemas que possam apontar. Muitos estudos têm debatido o Bolsa Família, mas ressentem-se de uma abordagem que coloque em cena os usuários. Para a realização deste estudo, que tem como referência o materialismo histórico-dialético, foram investigados diversos autores acerca do tema Política Social e diversos documentos de fontes primárias, como jornais, legislação e material institucional, bem como, pesquisa junto aos usuários do Bolsa Família que utilizam o Centro de Referência da Assistência Social (CREAS) Arlindo Rodrigues, na Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, como local para aquisição e manutenção do benefício do Programa. A pesquisa, entre outros elementos, aponta para uma aceitação deste, ainda que haja alguns questionamentos e objeções por parte dos usuários. A procura ao CREAS é constante e intensa configurando o centro de referência como espaço central de atendimento ao Bolsa Família. / This study has as object the Bolsa Família Program, seeking to capture users views of this, which is the main program of the current federal government. Based on the assumptions that Bolsa Família has strong popular appeal; is legitimated in large scale by different social segments and reaches a focus in Social Welfare field, the hypothesis is that the users, as direct beneficiaries of the program tend to its defense, despite difficulties and problems that they might point to. Many studies have been debating Bolsa Familia, but suffer from an approach that put users in scene. For this study, which has as reference the historical and dialectical materialism, it was investigated several authors on the subject Social Policy and various documents from primary sources such as newspapers, legislation and institutional material, as well, it was done survey with the users of the program that goes to the Reference Center for Social Welfare (CREAS) Arlindo Rodrigues, in Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, for acquiring and retaining the benefit of the program. The research, among other things, points to an acceptance of this, although its users make some questions and objections about the Program. The search for CREAS is constant and intense making the reference center a setting to Bolsa Família services.
