Fiscal Reform

AbstractThe system of intergovernmental fiscal relations in the Federal Republic of Germany has been always extremely difficult to regulate. The Parliamentary Council of 1948/49 left this task unfinished, and the first fiscal reform of 1955 was only partly successful. The 1969 reform seemed to be more successful, but it became clear quite soon that intensified interlocking politics created new problems for the decision-making process. Also, it created incentives to finance public policies by debts. The financing of German unity was based on the 1969 regulations. In recent years the overburdening of the existing rules became obvious. Growing problems caused a shift of paradigm in the direction of less interlocking politics and financing.

Logical Process

Public policies are the result of efforts made by governments to alter aspects of behaviour—both that of their own agents and of society at large—in order to carry out some end or purpose. They are comprised of arrangements of policy goals and policy means matched through some decision-making process. These policy-making efforts can be more, or less, systematic in attempting to match ends and means in a logical fashion or can result from much less systematic processes. “Policy design” implies a knowledge-based process in which the choice of means or mechanisms through which policy goals are given effect follows a logical process of inference from known or learned relationships between means and outcomes. This includes both design in which means are selected in accordance with experience and knowledge and that in which principles and relationships are incorrectly or only partially articulated or understood. Policy decisions can be careful and deliberate in attempting to best resolve a problem or can be highly contingent and driven by situational logics. Decisions stemming from bargaining or opportunism can also be distinguished from those which result from careful analysis and assessment. This article considers both modes and formulates a spectrum of policy formulation types between “design” and “non-design” which helps clarify the nature of each type and the likelihood of each unfolding.

Este artigo apresenta os resultados parciais de uma pesquisa sobre a formulação da política pública de turismo no estado do Pará. O objetivo foi identificar os fatores e os atores que influenciaram o processo de formulação da política de turismo do município de Tracuateua. Utilizou como referencial analítico o Modelo de Fluxos Múltiplos de Kingdon. As evidências empíricas estão baseadas em pesquisa documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas com a gestora municipal de turismo e na análise das atas do Conselho Municipal de Turismo onde estão registradas as opiniões de outros participantes do processo decisório. Os resultados apontam que as alternativas para o desenvolvimento do turismo no município foram materializadas no “Plano Municipal de Turismo”, que os participantes ativos desse processo não estão apontados nele; e que as alternativas dependeram dos fluxos de problemas, de políticas públicas e da política. Conclui que a existência de um fator distinto dos demonstrado no Modelo de Fluxos Múltiplos, as orientações e determinações do Ministério do Turismo brasileiro, influencia os fluxos de políticas públicas e/ou da política. Tourism public policy of Tracuateua (PA, Brazil) from the multiple streams model ABSTRACT This paper presents partial results of a research about the formulation of the tourism public policy in Para state. The objective was to identify the factors and actors that influenced the formulation process of the municipality of Tracuateua tourism policy. It was used as a theoretical reference of the Multiple Streams Model of Kingdon. The empirical evidences are based on a documentary research, as much as the semi-structured interviews with the municipal manager of tourism; as well as the analysis of the minutes of the Municipal Tourism Council where the opinions of other participants in the decision making process are recorded. The results indicate that the alternatives for the development of tourism in this municipality have been materialized in the “Municipal Plan for Tourism", that the active participants are not pointed out in it; and that the alternatives depended on the streams of problems, policies and politics. It is concluded that the existence of a distinct factor of this Multiple Streams Model demonstrated, guidelines and determinations of the Brazilian Ministry of Tourism, which influences streams of public policies and/or politics.

The Impact

AbstractThe article explores the complexity of the ecosystems that develop around data supported policy making. This complexity, which can be traced back to the multiplicity of actors involved, the roles they assume in the different steps of the decision making process, and the nature of the relationships they establish, takes on new connotations following the rising use of data for public policies. In fact, issues related to data ownership and the ability to collect, manage, and translate data into useful information for policy makers require the involvement of several actors, generating ecosystems where co-creation strategies are confronted with the limits of action of the public administrations within broader social and decisional networks. Based on this background, the article aims to provide, through the analysis of the direct experiences conducted by the pilot cities involved in the PoliVisu project, an overview of the opportunities and challenges related to the impact of data in the evolution of decision making networks and ecosystems in the data shake era.

This chapter presents happiness from the perspective of a public good, that is, of collective character understood as the basis for the constitution of public policies in tourism. Thus, the intimate relationship between tourism, happiness, and tourism development is recognized. The reflection undertaken on public policies in tourism is based on the analysis of the capacities to generate happiness in society and on the offer of a proposition that state interventions, whether of distributive, redistributive, regulatory, or constitutional nature, under pressure from collective needs, must attend to the tourism development process and sustained in a humanistic conception. Therefore, it is believed that tourism, in its various aspects, will only achieve the happiness of a tourist destination if it meets the premises of sustainable development to the extent that the citizen residing at the tourist destination feels part of the decision-making process and the formation of public policies.
