Childcare Policy

Abstract Brazil was one of the countries that integrated Latin America’s left turn, a period in which social policies have become central. During the Labor Party’s Government (Partido dos Trabalhadores) (2013-2016), were developed institutional conditions to mainstream gender in public policies, which embraced the issue of the sexual division of labor. However, did it mean an effective reorientation of the childcare policy towards gender equality perspectives? This article aims to reflect upon this question, drawing on the gender mainstreaming concept. It is understood as a process of incorporation of feminist perspectives into the public policy framing, regarding the (re)definition of both the public problem and the course of state action. To do so, we carried out a qualitative study of gender mainstreaming on childcare policy (daycare centers and leaves), focusing on official discourses, mainly through documentary analysis. Based on the results analyzed, we identified the coexistence of two frames: “education and childcare rights” and “promotion of women's economic autonomy”. Since the first one has prevailed, we conclude that gender mainstreaming was marginal in the childcare policy, during the analyzed period.

El objetivo del trabajo es presentar los procesos de participación ciudadana que el Estado chileno ha implementado para elaborar la reciente política pública nacional de actividad física (AF) y deporte, considerando el desarrollo histórico de la institucionalidad deportiva del país. Se utilizó la metodología cualitativa descriptiva, utilizando como procedimientos la revisión bibliográfica y la técnica de análisis documental. El trabajo permite indicar que existe un avance en el tratamiento de las políticas públicas en deporte y recreación en Chile, toda vez que en la elaboración de las mismas han participado diferentes carteras ministeriales, organizaciones sociales y personas naturales. Se concluye que, a partir de la incorporación, apropiación y desarrollo del deporte moderno en Chile, se observan esfuerzos desde el aparato público por generar espacios de participación y monitoreo del deporte y sus manifestaciones, teniendo como corolario, la actual Política Nacional de Actividad Física y Deporte, vigente entre los años 2016-2025, inclusive.Abstract. The aim of this work is to show citizen participation processes that the Chilean State has implemented to elaborate the current national public policies for physical activity and sports, considering the historical development of the country's sports institutions. The qualitative descriptive methodology was used, performing literature review and documentary analysis technique as the procedures. The work indicates that there is an improvement in the elaboration of public policies in sports and recreation in Chile when different ministerial cabinets, social organizations, and natural persons participated in it. It is concluded that, from the incorporation, appropriation, and development of modern sport in Chile, efforts are observed from the public apparatus towards generating spaces for participation and monitoring of sports and its manifestations, keeping the current National Physical Activity and Sport Policy, in force between 2016-2025, as a corollary.

Introducción: Las políticas públicas son asuntos clave de la gestión gubernamental y su estudio es importante cuando se analiza el impacto que tienen frente a problemas relevantes que se reflejan en el perfil epidemiológico. Objetivo: Analizar la importancia que las enfermedades cardio-cerebro-vasculares tuvieron en la formulación de las políticas públicas en salud en Medellín entre 2000-2013. Materiales y métodos: Enfoque cualitativo con estrategia metodológica de análisis documental de corte hermenéutico. Se tomaron como base los acuerdos aprobados por el Concejo de Medellín y se seleccionaron aquellos, que tienen relación directa o indirecta con estas enfermedades, asimismo se revisaron planes de desarrollo contextualizados en lineamientos de políticas nacionales e internacionales. Resultados: Se encuentra un acuerdo que se refiere explícitamente a estas enfermedades. La mayoría son políticas orientadas, a grupos específicos o problemáticas relacionadas con promoción de la salud y prevención de las enfermedades cardio-cerebro-vasculares. El seguimiento y evaluación son fases menos tenidas en cuenta en el ciclo de las políticas públicas. Conclusiones: Los resultados sugieren la necesidad de una concepción amplia de la salud que oriente la formulación de las políticas locales e impacte un problema tan complejo e importante para el municipio, como lo son estas enfermedades.Abstract Introduction: Public policy is a key element to government administration and its study is important when analyzing the impact it has on relevant issues evidenced in the epidemiological profile. Objective: To analyze the importance of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases in the development of public policy in health in Medellin between 2000 and 2013. Materials and methods: A qualitative approach with hermeneutic documentary analysis was done. The agreements approved by the Medellin council were taken as a base, from which those directly or indirectly related with these diseases were selected. Plans of action based on national and international policy guidelines were also reviewed. Results: An agreement that explicitly referred to these diseases was found. Most policy is oriented toward specific groups or issues related to health promotion and the prevention of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Follow-up and  evaluation are the most overlooked stages of the public policy cycle. Conclusions: These results suggest the need for a broader definition of health that foments local policy development and impacts such a complex and important issue  for the city by taking into account these diseases.

O planejamento e a gestão territorial são hoje compreendidos como área de conhecimento e de pesquisa. Os conceitos são abordados no artigo a partir de uma retomada de seus significados históricos e associados com diferentes correntes paradigmáticas que estruturam a produção do espaço moderno. O artigo traz para a discussão considerações sobre dois principais momentos do planejamento e da gestão: o primeiro é referente ao modelo centralizador, fundamentado na técnica e na ciência e que estruturou não apenas as dinâmicas de planejamento, mas toda a sociedade moderna; o segundo momento de discussão é a partir das insurgências de um modelo participativo de planejamento e de gestão e que está associado ao reconhecimento da diversidade de conhecimentos e de saberes, não necessariamente técnicos e metódicos. Por fim, o artigo considera que a participação popular, referendada enquanto política pública, parte de três pressupostos principais: 1) o controle social e a definição de prioridades pelo poder público; 2) a possibilidade de empoderamento da população; 3) a valorização das práticas cotidianas que permitem não apenas o pertencimento espacial, como também formas de conhecimento que se fundamentam nas experiências e nas realidades de diferentes grupos sociais. Palavras–chave: Planejamento e gestão territorial, autonomia, modernidade, participação popular.Abstract Planning and territorial management are now understood as an area of knowledge and research. The concepts are approached in this article from a resumption of their historical meanings and associated with different paradigmatic currents that structure the production of the modern space. The article brings to the discussion considerations on two main moments of planning and management: the first refers to the centralizing model, based on technique and science and which structured not only the planning dynamics, but the whole of modern society; the second moment of discussion is from the insurgencies of a participative model of planning and management and that is associated to the recognition of the diversity of knowledge and knowledge, not necessarily technical and methodical. Finally, the article considers that popular participation, endorsed as public policy, starts from three main assumptions: 1) social control and the definition of priorities by the public power; 2) the possibility of empowerment of the population; 3) valuing daily practices that allow not only spatial belonging, but also forms of knowledge based on the experiences and realities of different social groups.Keywords: Planning and territorial management, autonomy, modernity, popular participation.

Reporting Entity

The European Commission initiated a discussion on the expediency of using the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS), based on the IAS/IFRS, as a common base for harmonizing the public sector accounting systems of the member states. However, literature suggests that accounting is not neutral with respect to the economic, social and political dimensions. In the perspective of evolution of the accounting regulation outlined, balanced between accountability, with the need to represent phenomena for reporting pur-poses, and decisionmaking issues, which concentrates on the quantitative importance of the values, the paper aims to analyse the effects of the application of different criteria for the definition of the reporting entity of the local government consolidated financial statements (CFS). The Italian PCA 4/4, the test of control and the financial accountability approaches are examined. The evidence that emerged from the case studies examined identifies several criticalities in the Italian PCA 4/4 and support the thesis that the financial accountability approach is more effective in providing a complete representation of the public resources entrusted to and managed by the group, whereas the control approach better approximates quantification of the group results in terms of central government surveillance. The analysis highlights the importance of the post implementation review period and the opportunity to contextualize the adoption of the consolidated financial statement in the broader spectrum of the accounting harmonization process, participating in the process of definition of the European Public Sector Accounting Standards (EPSAS).

Drawing on Karin Bijsterveld’s triple definition of noise as ownership, political responsibility, and causal responsibility, this article traces how modern Japan problematized noise, and how noise represented both the aspirational discourse of Western civilization and the experiential nuisance accompanying rapid changes in living conditions in 1920s Japan. Primarily based on newspaper archives, the analysis will approach the problematic of noise as it was manifested in different ways in the public and private realms. In the public realm, the mid-1920s marked a turning point due to the reconstruction work after the Great Kantô Earthquake (1923) and the spread of the use of radios, phonographs, and loudspeakers. Within a few years, public opinion against noise had been formed by a coalition of journalists, police, the judiciary, engineers, academics, and municipal officials. This section will also address the legal regulation of noise and its failure; because public opinion was “owned” by middle-class (sub)urbanites, factory noises in downtown areas were hardly included in noise abatement discourse. Around 1930, the sounds of radios became a social problem, but the police and the courts hesitated to intervene in a “private” conflict, partly because they valued radio as a tool for encouraging nationalist mobilization and transmitting announcements from above. In sum, this article investigates the diverse contexts in which noise was perceived and interpreted as such, as noise became an integral part of modern life in early 20th-century Japan.

"Feminist Interpretations of Action and the Public in Hannah Arendt’s Theory. Arendt’s typology of human activity and her arguments on the precondition of politics allow for a variety in interpretations for contemporary political thought. The feminist reception of Arendt’s work ranges from critical to conciliatory readings that attempt to find the points in which Arendt’s theory might inspire a feminist political project. In this paper I explore the ways in which feminist thought has responded to Arendt’s definition of action, freedom and politics, and whether her theoretical framework can be useful in a feminist rethinking of politics, power and the public realm.

Over the past several years, transplantology has become one of the fastest developing areas of medicine. The reason is, first and foremost, a significant improvement of the results of successful transplants. However, much controversy arouse among the public, on both medical and ethical grounds. The article presents the most important concepts and regulations relating to the collection and transplantation of organs and tissues in the context of the European Convention on Bioethics. It analyses the convention and its additional protocol. The article provides the definition of transplantation and distinguishes its types, taking into account the medical criteria for organ transplants. Moreover, authors explained the issue of organ donation ex vivo and ex mortuo. The European Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine clearly regulates the legal aspects concerning the transplantation and related basic concepts, and therefore provides a reliable source of information about organ transplantation and tissue. This act is a part of the international legal order, which includes the established codification of bioethical standards.

Transparency And Accountability

The article is devoted to issues of ensuring transparency and ac- countability of authorities in the conditions of participatory democracy (democ- racy of participation). It is argued that the public should be guaranteed not only the right for access to information but also the prerequisites for expanding its par- ticipation in state governance. These prerequisites include: the adoption of clearly measurable macroeconomic and social goals and the provision of control of the processes of their compliance with the government by citizens of the country; ex- tension of the circle of subjects of legislative initiative due to realization of such rights by citizens and their groups; legislative definition of the forms of citizens’ participation in making publicly significant decisions, design of relevant orders and procedures, in particular participation in local referendum; outlining methods and procedures for taking into account social thought when making socially im- portant decisions. The need to disclose information about resources that are used by authorities to realize the goals is proved as well as key performance indicators that can be monitored by every citizen; the efforts made by governments of coun- tries to achieve these goals. It was noted that transparency in the conditions of representative democracy in its worst forms in a society where ignorance of the thought of society and its individual members is ignored does not in fact fulfill its main task — to establish an effective dialogue between the authorities and so- ciety. There is a distortion of the essence of transparency: instead of being heard, society is being asked to be informed — and passively accept the facts presented as due. In fact, transparency and accountability in this case are not instruments for the achievement of democracy in public administration, but by the form of a tacit agreement between the subjects of power and people, where the latter passes the participation of an “informed observer”.

The article is devoted to the research of goals and functions of lobbying activity. The author has processed the ideas of domestic and foreign scientists, proposed his own approaches to the definition of goals and functions of lobbying activities through the prism of public administration. As a result, a generalized vision of the goals and functions of lobbying activities as interrelated elements of the lobbying system was proposed, and a forecast for further evolution of the goals and functions of domestic lobbying was provided. The analysis of lobbying functions allowed us to notice the tendencies in shifting the goals of this activity. If the objectives were fully covered by functions such as mediation between citizens and the state, the information function and the function of organizing plurality of public interests, then the role of strengthening the self-organization of civil society and the function of compromise become increasingly important in the process of formation in the developed countries of civil society and the development of telecommunication technologies. Ukrainian lobbyism will not be left to the side of this process. Already, politicians of the highest level, leaders of financial and industrial groups have to act, adjust their goals (even if they are — declared), taking into account the reaction of the public. In the future, this trend will only increase. The analysis of current research and political events provides all grounds for believing that, while proper regulatory legislation is being formed in Ukraine, the goals and functions of domestic lobbying will essentially shift towards a compromise with the public. It is noted that in spite of the existence of a basic direction of action, lobbying may have several ramified goals. Guided by the goals set, lobbyism can manifest itself in various spheres of the political system of society, combining the closely intertwined interests of various actors in the lobbying process, or even — contrasting them.
