Evaluation Of Public Policies

The current economic and social crisis calls for new practices within the public administration: an increase in its productivity could be obtained by the mobilization of social energies and the diffusion of leadership capacities. Spending review, performance management and evaluation of public policies are separate activities that converge in view of reaching the objective of "doing more and better with less". For each of these activities it is necessary to decide which method to apply. If the democratic alternative prevailed in each of them, it would be possible to overcome those conditions (centralism, legalism, compliance) that are at the origin of the present crisis, and that would be reinforced were those activities conducted according to the traditional way.

RESUMEN: El presente artículo tiene la intención de exponer los alcances del «Enfoque Basado en Derechos Humanos», con la finalidad de entender que variables y conceptos involucra. Haremos un recuento de su evolución, vigencia y cómo se evidencia su modalidad aplicada, a través de diferentes aportes desarrollados en el marco de la Organización de Naciones Unidas, así como de la doctrina estudiosa del tema. Su vigencia en la Administración Pública es de primer orden, puesto que el Estado y sus entidades adscritas, deben tener muy en cuenta que el enfoque citado, sirve para conocer si las políticas públicas, están atendiendo necesidades de individuos y comunidades concretas; generando transparencia pública a través de rendición de cuentas, así como evitando cualquier tipo de discriminación. Finalmente, se analizará su vigencia e impacto en algunos antecedentes jurisprudenciales de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos. ABSTRACT: This article intends to expose the scope of the «Human Rights Based Approach», in order to understand what variables and concepts it involves. We will recount its evolution, validity and how its applied modality is evidenced, through different contributions developed within the framework of the United Nations, as well as the doctrine studious of the subject. Its validity in the Public Administration is of the first order, since the State and its affiliated entities must take into account that the aforementioned approach serves to know if public policies are addressing the needs of specific individuals and communities; Generating public transparency through accountability, as well as avoiding any type of discrimination. Finally, its validity and impact will be analyzed in some jurisprudential antecedents of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.

And Performance

New public management (NPM) conceptualised public administration as a business, to be managed with business-like techniques. Since services had to be assessed by the criteria of quality, efficiency, and satisfaction of citizens, the public sector had to reorganize its processes. As strong emphasis was on the services, improving their delivery was expected to facilitate achieving the above criteria. The terms of the NPM approach such as “customer focus, managing for results, and performance management” have become part of the standard language of public administration (Ali, 2001; Bekkers & Zouridis, 1999; Crossing Boundaries, 2005; Spicer, 2004).

Technical Review

The chapter is divided into two differentiated parts. The first includes a brief technical review of the concepts of Territorial Intelligence and Intelligent Tourist Destination, situating them in the context of the new tourist destination planning paradigms. This part ends with a first approach to the Spanish case and the progress of its public tourism policies towards these concepts. The second part goes deeper into the Intelligent Tourist Destination model applied in Spain, driven by the public administration, paying special attention to its official standardisation process, and the indicators adopted to that end. Finally, the chapter ends with some brief conclusions.

It has become increasingly common to use the project as a form of organization when implementing public policies. Previous research has identified political, administrative and organizational motives behind this trend towards more project-based organizations within the public administration. The problem is that project-based organization carries inherent problems and special challenges when these projects are supposed to be implemented in permanent agencies and organizations. The purpose of this paper is to identify problems and challenges that public administrations face when ‘the project organization’ is used as a structural form of organization in implementing different kinds of public policies. The article takes its starting point in the policy implementation research and especially in Matland’s conflict-ambiguity model. This research tradition is complemented by a review of research on temporary organizations, which draws attention to some inherent and significant characteristics of project organizations, that is the concepts of entity, relationship and time. Our analysis shows that the use of project organization puts special demands on the players involved, and if these are not taken into account, there is a high risk that projects designed to bring about social change will not produce the effects that policymakers and citizens expect.

Public cooperation is aimed at ensuring the functioning of public administration. Some forms of cooperation are subject to a regulatory regime for European procurement directives, some forms of cooperation within the public and private sector is not subject to this regime. In this article we analyze the types of cooperation with regard to their character. The aim will be to identify the types of cooperation, their frequency, the need to use the legal regime of public investment, and other distinctive features affecting the modes of cooperation within the public administration and the implementation of public policies.

Public policies as a means by which public action is directed and common goals are achieved have long been the subject of study of foreign legal science. In Serbia, public policies have gained more significant affirmation in recent years, especially in the context of public administration and public administration reform. Public policies are studied from the aspect of different sciences, political, organizational, but having in mind that public policies are especially related to the activities of the administration, it is the subject of interest of legal sciences, more precisely the science of administration. The state ensures the implementation of public policies in various areas of social life (health, education, environmental protection, etc.), bearing in mind that it has the necessary capacities and organization, through its administrative apparatus. The aim of this paper is a deeper understanding of the policy-making process, their role in achieving the public interest, the process of implementation and evaluation of public policy effects, as well as the relationship and relations that public policies have with government and public administration, both from the perspective of policy makers and and from the aspect of directing the work of public administration.

Innovation Policies

AbstractThis study aims to analyze, from a legal perspective, the public policies of science, technology and innovation offered by the Brazilian government, more specifically, the Brazilian Innovation Act (Lei de Inovação), in order to verify the reasons behind the mismatch between innovation efforts and its results in the economy. We seek to answer, preliminarily, the following questions: (a) What is innovation? (b) Should the state act in the innovation process? (c) What is the relationship between law and innovation policies? (d) Why is there a mismatch between what innovation efforts propose and what we can see in reality? Given these considerations, it becomes possible to answer the central issue of this study: Why is there a mismatch between what the Innovation Act proposes and what we can see as results? The issue was analyzed based on the premise that innovation nowadays is essential to society’s development and economy. We concluded that Brazil presents advances in this sector and most of the public policies managed to have efficacy for entrepreneurs, but institutional changes in the process of receiving these incentives and in its supervision are also necessary, such as a better articulation and coordination between entities responsible for its implementation and a better evaluation of public policies, improving them, so that companies may have the same competitivity of foreign companies. Although Brazil’s innovation rates are declining, the use of instruments of state support for innovation is being increasingly adopted, showing that even in adverse situations, they can be seen as advances.

The article is devoted to the problems and prospects of the existing model for the contract system of procurement. The Russian Federation, like most countries of the world, faces a key challenge today in formulating policies to address the economic recession caused by the emergence and spread of the COVID–19 virus. Sound and coherent public policies are needed to effectively stabilize and restart the economy as a whole. At the same time, Russia’s system of public procurement, which is under constant reform, cannot today be used as a tool of fiscal policy. This area has long evolved into an autonomous branch of government and needs to be transformed especially in public administration. At the same time, the basis of the «re-engineering» of the contract system should be the transition to a centralized procurement model based on the institution of centralization of procurement already successfully carried out in the public procurement sector.

The Way

- The Italian political culture is characterized by a strong juridical orientation combined with tolerance for public administration inefficiency. It is no wonder that evaluation has been introduced into the Italian administrative system as a further control, but the consequences have been a ritualistic use of evaluation. Controls of any kind "legitimacy, budgetary, managerial" tend to assess compliance of an action to a rule, and to sanction violation of the rule. Evaluation judges the results of an intervention with a view to learn from the way it has been implemented, that will vary according to context; furthermore, it is interested in positive and negative, expected an un-expected outcomes. The article reviews how these cultural predicaments have conditioned the potentialities offered by three different pushes to evaluate public policies: europeanization, federalism and the modernization of the public sector. Key words: controls, evaluation, public administration.
