Reforma del estado como mecanismo de control en democracia delegativa: caso reforma judicial Ecuador 2007-2014

The object of this doctoral thesis is the analysis of the political and administrative purpose that is given to the reform process of a vital sector of State powers within the framework of delegate democracy, such as the administration of Justice. The object is also to analyze if State reform in a diminished or non-liberal surrounding increase or improve conditions of democracy in a given situation, based on the constitutional “what should be”, or if what occurs is a process of “seizure” of the functions of State, which becomes an institutional risk. Finally, we will examine the real and effective existence of a horizontal accountability process through the use of institutional resources, which would evidence the existence of an incomplete model of democracy. This analysis implies the relationship between two institutions within public administration: State Reform, as an act of change in State structure in order to improve qualitatively the outcomes and outputs of public policies, and in sum, to make the system work better. This, as it will be examined later, is the case of Latin America as a response of the State to three processes in crisis: fiscal, as in government intervention or in the form of bureaucratic administration. In that scheme of things, this thesis examines the present state of the art in public administration science of this process to prove that in delegate democracy, this type of instruments disregard the constitutive elements of democracy and serve, especially in critical areas of the administration, allowing for Power to dismiss Law. This research seeks to contribute towards an area seldom analyzed regarding public administration doctrine under the light of the theory of law, which is the connection between previous conditions or principal inputs of an execution process of a democracy and, on the other hand, regarding the effects of introducing a reform within models of a changing democracy and new concepts of the rule of law. While reviewing writings regarding State reform, it is clear that no approximations have been previously made in reference to prior conditions of the political system in order to begin operating a reform which respects fundamental rights as an object of this procedure. Furthermore, no analysis has been found regarding structural change of strategic areas in State services as to the effect caused on democratic exercise and the outcome in an open society...

Padre que amava Moça que amava Carlos que amava Joaquim que amava. Dimensões histórico-críticas do diálogo entre o longa-metragem O padre e a moça (Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, 1965) e o poema \'O padre, a moça\' (Carlos Drummond de Andrade, 1962)

Este trabalho consiste em investigar as relações entre poética e contexto em duas obras: O padre e a moça (longa-metragem ficcional que Joaquim Pedro de Andrade finalizou em 1965), e o poema (de que Joaquim Pedro se apropria) O padre, a moça (publicado por Carlos Drummond de Andrade em Lição de coisas, de 1962). Como se trata de duas obras profundamente dialogais, a investigação sobre o caráter de empenho estético-ideológico orienta-se, evidentemente, pelo cotejo. O contexto dos 1960 (atravessado pelos dilemas da modernização capitalista dependente e periférica) revela-se fundamental para a compreensão de aspectos temático-formais de ambas as obras (uma, anterior ao Golpe de 1964, a outra, imediatamente posterior). A presença do contexto em ambos os textos, entretanto, exige a compreensão sobre as mediações propriamente artísticas. Para tanto, a pesquisa procura orientar-se pelo método de redução estrutural (desenvolvido por Antônio Candido); nem por isso, abre mão de refletir sobre seus pressupostos teórico-metodológicos (tomados à análise estética, mas também às reflexões sociológicas, historiográficas e filosóficas).
