Abstract

The objective of this article is to study agenda setting during the formulation of the Itajaí River Basin Plan by the Comitê Itajaí (Itajaí Committee). In methodological terms, it consists of a qualitative, documentary and field case study, collecting data through documentary research and interview. The studied case was that of the decision to charge for the use of water resources, to which we applied Kingdon's multiple streams model (2003) in order to understand the dynamics of the involved agents' actions in which the combination of the problem, political and policy streams led to the opening of a policy window. Hence, water resource users, acting as policy entrepreneurs, made use of the policy window to modify the formula for charging originally proposed by the Committee's board of directors, thus ensuring a more appropriate instrument for their interests.

Abstract

Recent scholarship heralds the emergence of programmatic legislative parties in Brazil capable of acting in a disciplined manner and making policy-based appeals to voters. This article uses statutory delegation to test the ability of legislative parties to limit executive policy discretion via direct policy-making. Results show that legislative party discipline exists in the shadow of the executive: the executive's legislative initiative is the strongest determinant of legislative content. As a result of the executive's dominance, the relationship between delegation content and inter-branch conflict in Brazil does not follow the patterns found in the U.S. and Europe.

Abstract

Objective. To analyze the Final Report of the VIII Health Conference and the São José dos Pinhais City Health Program for 2010-2013 and investigate whether these documents addressed the themes of sustainability, governance, and equity and the interfaces between these themes—government policies, power balance, and inclusive processes/impacting results—that make up the Concept Model for Human Development and Health Promotion developed by the authors. Method. This case study analyzed 331 proposals approved for incorporation in the City Health Program. The six thematical categories of the Concept Model were analyzed using ATLAS Ti 5.0 software. The proposals were classified according to the number of themes and interfaces of the Concept Model: full health proposals contained all six categories; partial proposals contained three categories; and incipient proposals contained one category. Results. Of 331 proposals approved, 162 (49%) contemplated the six thematical categories and were classified as full health promotion proposals. Ninety-five (29%) contemplated three categories (partial health promotion). Of these, 38 (12%) addressed Governance, Sustainability, and Government Policies, 33 (10%) addressed Governance, Power Balance, and Equity and 24 (7%) addressed Equity, Inclusive Processes/Impact Results, and Sustainability. Finally, 74 (22%) proposals contemplated only one category and were classified as incipient: 36 (11%) addressed Governance, 27 (8%) addressed sustainability, and 11 (3%) addressed equity. Conclusions. Based on the fact that 49% of the proposals approved were classified as full health promotion, it is considered that the effectiveness of social control and popular participation in the construction of health policies at the local level contribute to the promotion of health in the city.
