Intends to analyse the Brazilian tripartite, paritarian and de-centralized model that manages the resources of FAT (Fundo de Amparo ao Trabalhador - Workers Protection Fund) in the employment public system of Rio de Janeiro. To reach the proposed objective, the first chapter begins with a discussion on the corporativism in Brazil, its configuration and the determinants that permitted changes in its arrangements throughout Brazilian trade-union history. In the second chapter is presented the Brazilian employment public system, and the programs and plans that forms it, and its structural characteristics; at the end, a discussion is made about why the employment system is considered as being an hibrid corporative structure. The third chapter presents how is structured the Rio de Janeiro State Employment Comission nowadays, its history and main decisions and programs, and then verifies how is ocurring the representation of political interests in the Rio de Janeiro employment system, how the politics is being integrated to the programs, and to which extension the de-centralization is ocurring according to the legal presumptions of the public politic. At the end, the analisys is concluded by some considerations that try to resume the conclusions raised by the proposed reflection.

Escolas de governo do cone sul: estudo institucional do INAP (Argentina) e da ENAP (Brasil)

Este estudo analisa o desenvolvimento institucional das experi??ncias de duas escolas de governo - o Instituto Nacional de Administra????o P??blica (INAP), da Argentina, e a Escola Nacional de Administra????o P??blica (ENAP), do Brasil -, que implantaram nos anos oitenta, respectivamente, Programas de Forma????o de Administradores Governamentais e de Especialistas em Pol??ticas P??blicas e Gest??o Governamental. Para tal, ?? utilizado o marco te??rico que se baseia na teoria de institution building e, especialmente, o modelo conceituai de Esman, acrescido de fatores peculiares aos pa??ses estudados. A Ecole Nationale d'Administration (ENA), da Fran??a, modelo de cria????o dessas escolas, ?? analisada como paradigma. Com base no marco te??rico e no modelo franc??s, a an??lise comparativa propicia inferir que tanto o INAP como a ENAP, nos contextos em que foram criados, n??o se institucionalizaram. Al??m do mais, o estudo possibilita identificar e priorizar, como respons??veis por esse insucesso, alguns fatores internos e externos ??s escolas, como a car??ncia de lideran??a, de doutrina, de programa, de recursos e de v??nculos com outras organiza????es e fatores de natureza pol??tico-administrativa e cultural, como clientelismo, corporativismo e descontinuidade administrativa

O Impa e a comunidade de matemáticos no Brasil

Apresenta-se o papel desempenhado pelo Instituto de Matemática Pura e Aplicada, criado em 1952 pelo Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, na formação de pesquisadores matemáticos no país. Mostra-se como este instituto, bem como a matemática ali produzida, serviram para a formação do campo científico de matemáticos no Brasil. Os principais resultados apontam para: a consolidação de linhas de pesquisa em Sistemas Dinâmicos, Álgebra, Análise Matemática, Geometria Diferencial e Estatística Matemática; a preocupação de formar pesquisadores para atender as demandas de quadros docentes das universidades brasileiras, produzir matemática e recrutar alunos "talentosos" visando garantir a formação de pesquisadores e a produção de matemática de qualidade. A rede de influências estabelecida pelos pesquisadores do instituto extrapolou seus limites, uma vez que os líderes ocupavam posições importantes nos órgãos de fomento e em outras instituições e sociedades intelectuais. O discurso dos pesquisadores revela a hierarquia acadêmica e o corporativismo reinante na instituição assim como seu prestígio na comunidade científica.

Homogeneidade e heterogeneidade nos sistemas educacionais: Argentina, Brasil, Chile e México

This study focus on the reconfiguration of educational management in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico, which was promoted by the new logic of social regulation and the new role attributed to the State, considering each country's own historicity. So, the cultural factors that interfere on the dynamics of the 90' school reform are analyzed. Aspects that show the homogeneity or heterogeneity of these reforms in the region, as well as local specificities that block out the concretization of the reform are underlined. It is shown that the historicity that characterizes the educational reform has taken, in each country, a form that can be called, in Mexico, conservative rupture; in Chile, conservative continuity; in Brazil, conservative renovation; and, in Argentina, interrupted rupture. Some conclusions about the impact of educational reform in the selected countries are recuperated through the analysis of 186 academic texts on the subject.

Governamentalidade democrática e ensino de Filosofia no Brasil contemporâneo

This article takes the concepts of biopower and governmentality as the starting point for an analysis of certain recent Brazilian government documents about the introduction of Philosophy as a subject in secondary school. In the 1980s, this argument centered on Philosophy's so-called criticism and its potential for preparing citizens for a democratic society, was used by the movements aimed to restore democracy in Brazil. This argument appears to have been assimilated by the Brazilian government, because it is stated in the Guidelines and Bases of Education Law, secondary school students should demonstrate knowledge of philosophy necessary for the exercise of citizenship. The argument also appears in documents such as the PCN and PCN+ (National Curricular Parameters) and OCEM (Curriculum Guidelines for Secondary School) in their chapters on Philosophy. These documents are examined here in the light of governmentality, making explicit how Philosophy is equipped to train young people according to what is understood as a modern democratic society.

Organização de pesquisa no Brasil: lições do passado, propostas para o futuro

Chemical research in Brazil has grown significantly in the past 20 years, largely thanks to the Brazilian S&T Development Program of the federal government (PADCT). However, the newly achieved levels of highly qualified manpower and research infra-structure require new research organization frameworks to make science, technology and innovation really useful and meaningful for the citizens. The current requirements for creating viable networks of academic and industry researchers are presented and discussed as well as some structural and procedural bottlenecks that have to be eliminated, to achieve maximum high-quality science, technology and relevant innovation output.
