Breaking the Ice: Recent Administrative Reforms in Brazil

Abstract

Brazil has been shown as one of the superpowers of this century, beyond being a "coffee and football" country. The role of public administration reforms in the development of Brazil is remarkable. In this perspective, Brazil is a unique country with a federal structure consisting of 26 states and many local units, management, and reform movements. This article will examine the various dimensions of contemporary public administration reforms (marketization, civil society, civil service, performance management, intergovernmental) from Brazil's perspective. This article aims to examine the reform movements in Brazil's new public management (NPM) and governance framework and analyze the fundamental dynamics of Brazilian public administration reform in a theoretical framework.

Brezilya'da Yeni İdari Reformlar

Abstract

Brezilya, “kahve ve futbol” ülkesi olmanın ötesinde, gelecek yüzyılın süper güçlerinden biri olarak gösterilmektedir. Brezilya'nın kalkınmasında kamu yönetimi reformlarının rolü dikkat çekicidir. Çünkü Brezilya, 26 eyalet ve birçok yerel birimden oluşan federal yapısı, yönetim kültürü ve reform hareketleri ile benzersiz bir ülkedir. Bu makale, Brezilya çağdaş kamu yönetimi reformlarının çeşitli boyutlarını (özelleştirme, sivil toplum, kamu hizmeti, performans yönetimi, yerel yönetim vs.) inceleyecektir. Bu çalışmanın amacı ise, Brezilya'nın yeni kamu işletmeciliği (YKİ) ve yönetişim çerçevesindeki reform sürecini ele almak ve Brezilya idari reform hareketinin temel dinamiklerini teorik çerçevede analiz etmektir.
