Ao longo dos primeiros anos do século XXI, a gestão nacional do Estado brasileiro teve como um dos seus principais reordenamentos a instituição de uma política de desenvolvimento territorial (PDT). O objetivo deste artigo é discutir a concepção neoliberal da PDT, argumentando teoricamente a partir de alguns dos conceitos estruturantes desta política. Neste sentido, também argumentamos segundo alguns dados da implementação da política. Compreendemos que, diferente do modo como se apresenta, a PDT não se opõe a uma leitura neoliberal de Estado, sendo necessário então discutirmos o que entendemos por Estado, bem como qual a especifidade do seu caráter neoliberal. Destarte, organizamos este artigo em quatro partes, a partir de um debate teórico-conceitual baseado em revisão bibliográfica e na análise de dados sobre o percurso histórico da PDT no início do século XXI. Problematizamos que o que aparece como descentralização na gestão se revela como uma ratificação, pelos agentes locais, do que já vem pronto do governo federal.Palavras–chave: neoliberalismo; desenvolvimento territorial; Estado; política pública.Abstract Throughout the first years of the XXI century, the national management of the Brazilian State had one of its main reorganizations: the institution of a territorial development policy (TDP). The objective of this article is to discuss the neoliberal conception of the TDP, arguing theoretically some of the essential concepts of this policy. Thus, we also argue as of some data of the implementation of the policy. We understand that, unlike the way it is presented, the TDP does not oppose a neoliberal reading of the State, so it is necessary to discuss what we mean by State, as well as the specificity of its neoliberal feature. Thus, the article is organized in four parts, through a theoretical-conceptual debate based on a bibliographical review and the analysis of data on the historical path of TDP at the beginning of the XXI century. We discuss that what appears as decentralization in the management reveals itself as a ratification by the local agents of what comes readily from the federal government.Keywords: neoliberalism; territorial development; State; public policy.

The right to healthcare in Brazil is seriously protected by the courts. Judicialization of everyday implementation of this public policy is a fact. One explanation may be provided by the way judges understand the effectiveness of this right. People hold subjective right to individualized healthcare benefits, and so they hold standing to sue the state in order to achieve it, regardless any consideration of public policies. Through an analysis of the jurisprudence on this issue, this paper aims to provide a critical understanding not just about what is actually happening in Brazilian courts regarding healthcare, but also to criticize it. The conclusion is that a “strong” conception of constitutionalism and fundamental rights may revel itself as “weak,” from the standpoint of general equality. Judicialization ends up empting the public debate, leading the task of solving the distribution of scarce resources to a “gowned aristocracy.”

In very rich rentier-states, such as Kuwait, citizens have a smaller immediate stake in the success of the nonoil economy than do citizens in nonrentier economies. This is because the nonoil sector does not pay much in the way of taxes, nor does it employ many citizens. For the most part, citizens work for the state or state-owned enterprises, and their paychecks are ultimately funded by oil revenues. Foreigners dominate private-sector employment. Kuwait's parliament—by far the strongest in the Gulf—reflects the interests of citizen employees of the state and is widely seen as an obstacle to private-sector growth. In the United Arab Emirates, by contrast, citizens have little political voice. Public policy instead reflects the interests of capitalists (especially ruling families) in the development of a diversified economy.

Resumen: Este ensayo es una reflexión sobre el terrorismo, mostrando su evolución a través de la historia y su exacerbación actual, señalando además que el terrorismo de Estado, a pesar de ser la forma más mortífera, tiende a ser públicamente aceptada. De igual forma, enfatiza que el ataque a las Torres Gemelas se ha utilizado para justificar ataques preventivos, torturas y hasta la suspensión de la protección legal a prisioneros, y se pregunta cuál debe ser la política pública para combatir el terrorismo de una manera ética, mostrando por qué la solución del mal menor propuesta por Michael Ignatieff es sólo un viejo truco argumentativo y no conduce a cambios reales. Por ello, se insiste en el diálogo como forma de garantizar el reconocimiento de la diversidad, la defensa de los derechos civiles y el fortalecimiento de la democracia. Finalmente, se analizan diversos aspectos del militarismo, mostrando las relaciones de esta tendencia con el género y especí- ficamente con la masculinidad. Palabras clave: ética, terrorismo, militarismo, masculinidad, género Abstract: This essay reflects on terrorism, showing its evolution throughout history and its present-day exacerbation, also pointing out that terrorism on the part of the State, in spite of being the most deadly form, tends to be accepted by the public. Likewise, it stresses the way the 9/11 attack has been used to justify preemptive attacks, torture and even the suspension of political protection to prisoners, and asks what type of public policy must be used to fight terrorism in an ethical manner, showing why Michael Ignatieff’s proposal of the lesser evil is only an old argumentative trick and leads to no real changes. Therefore, there is an insistence on dialogue as the way to guarantee the recognition of diversity, the defense of civil rights and the strengthening of democracy. Finally, diverse aspects of militarism are analyzed, showing the relations between this tendency and gender, specifically with masculinity.Key words: ethics, terrorism, militarism, masculinity, gender

The article reveals the content of the “territorial marketing” concept. The paper's main attention is focused on the fact that nowadays the state and municipal sectors should adhere to key market principles more strictly regarding setting prices, building competitive relations, choosing a target audience, and conducting a communication policy. The idea is substantiated that public sector organizations should be familiar with such concepts as market segmentation and market positioning, the marketing mix and its tools, since even where there is no competition from the private sector, such organizations are forced to compete with each other. The article summarizes the practical experience of territory marketing management, which consists in collecting input data and feedback; monitoring market processes occurring within the state, region or municipality, developing an effective marketing strategy.

AbstractIn his classic 1976 article on the state of policy studies in Canada, Richard Simeon explicitly warned against following the path toward a policy science. Simeon was suspicious of the normative agenda embedded in the policy sciences project and worried that it would submerge politics in a broader set of interdisciplinary concerns. Was Simeon right? The policy sciences have not developed the way their principal proponent, Harold Lasswell, had anticipated or hoped, but neither has the study of public policy developed exactly as Simeon advocated. Both Lasswell and Simeon believed strongly in an empirical orientation and Lasswell, more than Simeon, focused on creating a tool kit of techniques. Schools of public policy have moved beyond both critique and technique to estimate risk, ameliorate error and mobilize knowledge. This new agenda requires students of public policy to acquire and employ practical knowledge steeped in the particular and instructed by policy narratives.
