Anti-poverty policies in Brazil: Reviewing the past ten years

This article reviews the main anti-poverty policies implemented in Brazil from the early 1990s to the early 2000s. These include focused and universal policies - such as education and health care - as well as the rural development, a 'middle ground' policy. Though the inter-municipal consortium, a new institutional arrangement gathering municipalities together, has emerged as a promising policy implementation tool, anti-poverty policies have faced implementation difficulties. Lack of coordination between different programs, even within the same policy area, has impaired their effectiveness. As a consequence, compensatory programs, based on monetary transfers to poor families, which face fewer implementation problems, have become the dominant type of anti-poverty policies in Brazil. Despite these shortcomings, a small Brazilian state, Santa Catarina, was able to reduce by 46 percent the number of individuals living in poverty in just ten years. This is a sign that fighting poverty can, after all, be a feasible endeavor. © 2004 IIAS, SAGE Publications (London, Thousand Oaks, CA and New Delhi).

Is the environmental policies procedures a barrier to development of inland navigation and port management? A case of study in Brazil

The main objective of this article is to discuss the Brazilian environmental legislation and policies towards the development of navigation and port management. The research illustrated some difficulties faced by the country and make suggestions to overcome it. The construction of the environmental legal framework began in the early 1960s and resulted in a very complex system, as a consequence of policies adopted by the country. Nowadays Brazilian environmental policies are developed in democratic and participative way, although with elevated degree of bureaucracy and lack of integration among the several governmental agencies, which makes the approval of environmental certifications demand several years for new port projects or improvements, which delays the economic development of the country. Efforts have been made to simplify the licensing process. As result of this research two flowchart for environmental licenses of ports installation are shown: The first shows the process until 2009 and the second shows the process nowadays. This become an important issue due the fact that inland navigation is one of the less pollutant modes of transportation, and although, the process of environmental certification was simplified, if compare with 2009, it is still complex and time-consuming, delaying the development of the infrastructure. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

A educação rural no México como referência para o Brasil

In the 1940’s and 1950’s the Brazilian government implemented various policies towards the development of rural education adopting innovative orientations experienced in other iberoamerican countries. This article covers a study on the circulation and appropriation of education models seeking to apprehend the implications of the comparative operations by questioning the national processes in their interrelationship with much more ample phenomena of internationalization and globalization. The article uses as source of analysis the document entitled “Rural Education in Mexico” elaborated by Manoel Bergstrom Lourenço Filho, in 1951, and later published in a Brazilian Magazine of Pedagogical Studies, in 1952. The article discusses the narrative construction of this report and the comparing operations which Lourenço Filho has undertook presenting the Mexican education as a model.

Childbirth care: contributing to the debate on human development

Com a finalidade de subsidiar gestores da área de saúde da mulher, na formulação de políticas públicas, voltadas ao desenvolvimento humano, realizou-se esta investigação, cujo objetivo foi avaliar a estrutura e o processo da atenção ao parto e ao neonato desenvolvido em região do interior paulista. Estudo epidemiológico, voltado para avaliação dos serviços de saúde, baseou-se na observação da assistência prestada pelo Sistema Único de Saúde em 12 maternidades e 134 partos, adotando-se padrões estabelecidos pelo Ministério da Saúde ou Organização Mundial de Saúde para comparação. Os resultados apontam problemas relacionados à estrutura em algumas maternidades, mostrando que práticas úteis ao parto normal ainda são pouco utilizadas, enquanto que outras prejudiciais ou ineficazes ainda são utilizadas rotineiramente. Reverter esse quadro será essencial para oferecer atendimento de qualidade às mulheres, com conseqüente redução nas taxas de mortalidade materna e neonatal, para que a região atinja as metas estabelecidas para ampliação do desenvolvimento humano no milênio.
