RESUMOO objetivo deste trabalho é estudar o baixo nível atual de qualidade dos serviços públicos no Brasil, a fim de identificar uma relação entre a má qualidade de tais prestações e os protestos que vêm ocorrendo cada vez mais frequentemente no país. Entre outras demandas, alguns protestos foram inicialmente contra a baixa qualidade dos serviços prestados à população, especialmente o transporte público. Uma das principais razões para essa insatisfação é a recente ascensão da classe média nos países em desenvolvimento. Essa ascensão está aumentando a parcela de participação nos processos decisórios (a classe média representa cerca de metade da população brasileira), e esse engajamento está moldando novas demandas por políticas públicas mais voltadas para seus valores. A classe média tem um forte poder de consumo de bens e serviços privados: essa influência levou as empresas privadas a modelar seus produtos e serviços de acordo com suas preferências, mas os governos ainda estão oferecendo serviços de menor qualidade do que a classe média está disposta a receber. Esse descompasso leva a uma constante insatisfação pública e pode continuar a causar novas manifestações contra as atuais políticas públicas. PALAVRAS-CHAVEServiços públicos.

Among other requests, some protests were initially against the low quality of services provided to population, especially public transportation. One main reason for this dissatisfaction is the recent rise of the middle class in developing countries. Such ascension is increasing their share of participation in the decision-making processes (the middle class represents roughly half of the population in Brazil), and this engagement is shaping new demands for public policies oriented more towards their values. The middle class has a strong power of consumption of goods and private services: this influence led private companies to model their products and services to their preferences, but governments are still delivering lower quality services than the middle class is willing to receive. This mismatch leads to constant public dissatisfaction and may continue to cause further riots against the running of current public policies.  KEYWORDSPublic utilities. Riots and mobs. Middle class.

A classificação da rede urbana brasileira é importante ferramenta de gestão governamental, econômica e social, pois possibilita um direcionamento mais acertado de investimentos urbanos. Partindo-se da análise de três estudos recentes que elaboraram classificações para a Rede Urbana – o primeiro, Configuração Atual e Tendências da Rede Urbana, desenvolvido pelo Instituto de Pesquisas Aplicadas juntamente com o Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística; o segundo, Política Nacional de Desenvolvimento Regional, do Ministério da Integração Nacional, e o terceiro, Tipologia das Cidades Brasileiras, elaborado pelo Observatório das Metrópoles, – percebe-se a permeabilidade e complementaridade entre eles, as grandes contribuições trazidas e o desafio que é produzir uma classificação condizente com a diversidade das cidades brasileiras. Destaca-se ainda como as diferentes leituras da rede urbana incorporam-se às políticas públicas, sendo os estudos realizados parte do processo de construção da política urbana nacional. Assim, acredita-se que grandes desafios foram vencidos. Palavras-chave: cidades; desenvolvimento urbano; gestão governamental; políticas públicas; rede urbana brasileira. Abstract: The Brazilian urban network classification is an important tool of political, economic and social management, since it allows a more accurate direction for urban investments. Analyzing three recent studies that have developed ratings for Urban Network – Configuração Atual e Tendências da Rede Urbana, developed by Instituto de Pesquisas Aplicadas and Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística; Política Nacional de Desenvolvimento Regional, by Ministério da Integração Nacional, and, Tipologia das Cidades Brasileiras, by Observatório das Metrópoles – we can detect the permeability and complementarity between them, their contributions of them and the challenge to produce a consistent classification with the diversity of Brazilian cities. We highlight how the different interpretations of the urban network are incorporated into public policies, showing that the studies are part of the construction of a national urban policy. In this way, we believe that major challenges have been overcome. Keywords: cities; urban development; public management; public policies; brazilian urban network.

Biotechnology Sector

It is difficult to find cases of technology-based Small and Medium Enterprises in developing countries, however Chile has some within the biotechnology sector. How has this been possible? As a consequence of the different public policies and structural economic conditions that allowed their emergence, especially in the 1990s. This study describes the historical conditions and how they have been able to create a sector within the Chilean economy. From the analysis of secondary data the emergence of this type of company within the country is described. This analysis shows the link between structural conditions and appropriate public policies, meaning that these companies did not emerge by chance. Understanding their development process is crucial to promote the creation of more such technology-based Small and Medium Enterprises, as they have many positive externalities and are more globally competitive.
