The aim of this study was to identify the main health management issues in Brazil according to the opinion of managers who were intentionally chosen. Data was collected from July to November 2010, through key-informant interviews: two directors from national reference private hospitals, located in Southeast Brazil; and executive authorities of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), one of each government level - municipal, state, and federal managers. SUS management was considered outdated; the system was defined as lacking stable funding and having flaws in planning and service assessment. Moreover, both sectors lack professionalization in management. In conclusion, SUS is still in consolidation and requires more resources, stable funding and management able to bring its principles and guidelines into reality. Management issues affect both public and private sectors and the public-private partnerships have not been oriented by public responsibility.

AbstractThis article examines the debate between the power resources and ‘new politics’ scholars concerning the politics of welfare state retrenchment in advanced industrial democracies. Both approaches make competing claims concerning the relevance of partisan differences in the current age of welfare reform. This article tests the new politics hypothesis that partisanship has had a declining impact on welfare politics over time through an analysis of the growth in the public share of health care spending in 18 countries from 1960 to 2000. Consistent with the new politics approach, the results reveal that the partisan character of government no longer plays a significant role in determining changes in public responsibility for health care during the new politics period. This suggests that the current period is characterised by general agreement across party lines on the broad parameters of the health care system, reducing the intense partisan conflicts of the past to debates over reform at the margins of the health care system.

This article tackles the problem of religious radicalism. Religious radicalism is here interpreted as a protest against the pathology of secularism characterized by the privatization of religion. The privatization of religion is a process in which religion is regarded as an irrational and personal element, so that it cannot play a public role. In order to meet the pathology of privatization, this article offers the paradigm of post-secularism as proposed by Juergen Habermas that opens up the possibility for religion to actively participate in the public sphere. Furthermore, this writing argues that in post-secular society characterized by the public role of religion, it is essential to build a democratic and rational dialogue between religion and philosophy, faith and reason. A bridge that connects both is public reason. This article also shows that the post-secular condition opens up opportunities for theology to promote tolerance in a pluralistic society and to strengthen the public engagement of religion. This can avoid reducing religion to private piety without public responsibility while promoting the public engagement in religion in order to liberate the marginalized and oppressed.
