The institutionalisation of the evaluation of European funds in public administration is analysed from a documentary base composed of national and EU legislation (1986-2020), focusing on the actors and the evaluation rules. The production of these empirical data reveals a dual process of implementation of the evaluation policy of European funds in the indirect administration of the state, where increasing technocratisation of the evaluation represents new constraints to funding.","PeriodicalId":134845,"journal":{"name":"Ciências e Políticas Públicas / Public Sciences & Policies","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116809228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Favarato","doi":"10.33167/2184-0644.cpp2022.8.1.6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33167/2184-0644.cpp2022.8.1.6","url":null,"abstract":"The premise of this paper emerges from an understanding of political turmoil and recurrent instability as being due to the process of the Africanisation of power. My aim is to discern this idea in relation to Guinea-Bissau. Since 1994, the West African country has experienced continuous political instability. So far, political analysis has pinpointed the rationale of Bissau-Guinean political turmoil as dependent on the ethnicisation of power and a dysfunctional state. The first is largely due to the role played by the Balanta ethnic group. While much harm was inflicted on the Balanta in the past, the group assumed power through its domination of the military. The second phenomenon relates to a political class unprepared for office yet committed to the misappropriation of power and resources, engendering failure of the state and its institutions. Without discarding these hypotheses, I argue that the underlying rationale of Bissau-Guinean political turmoil is further related to the Africanisation of power. The latter is a bi-directional process, in which the state influences indigenous political powers and vice versa. This paper identifies how these political powers differ in their configuration of the polity and in the policies applied, leading to discrepant political behaviours in their subjects.","PeriodicalId":134845,"journal":{"name":"Ciências e Políticas Públicas / Public Sciences & Policies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130061371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The training needs of these leaders were identified in the past, so the intention now is to identify if they are trained in management/administration, if there are differences in how leadership skills are gained by those who have had training and those who have not. To gauge if management/administration training will bring advantages to middle management in health because they can condition the culture and focus of organisational leadership through their leadership skills. A theoretical model was deduced, using the structural equation modelling methodology and non-parametric and parametric tests. It was observed that most middle management staff in the health area do not have training in management/administration and that leadership skills are, in decreasing order: mentor, director, facilitator, innovator, coordinator, monitor, producer and broker, resulting in a leadership culture of support, objectives, rules and innovation. The leadership focus is on flexibility and internal and external control. However, those who have received training have higher levels of leadership skills, promoting the culture of organisational leadership in the sense of innovation, objectives and rules and the leadership focus on flexibility, for the internal and external environment.","PeriodicalId":134845,"journal":{"name":"Ciências e Políticas Públicas / Public Sciences & Policies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131955683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dimensions of analysis are: the doctrines of the reforms, their justifications and their underlying values; the policy leadership, its implementation styles and instruments; the external induction and the resistances to change. The observed transition landmarks are: the patrimonialist transition, the bureaucratic transition and the managerial transition. We carried out a literature review on public management paradigms and administrative reforms in Portugal and Spain, in addition to consulting official documents of the two national governments. As conclusions, some similarities were identified between the reform processes regarding the contents of the reforms and their underlying values and justifications, and the preference for the legal instrument of policy change (laws, decrees, regulations), as well as the leadership and implementation style. Regarding the differences, Portugal is perceived as more permeable to external induction than Spain. Comparing the transition processes, recent managerial reforms have relied on networked policy entrepreneurs, using a variety of instruments (in addition to legislative change), a pattern visibly modified after the redemocratization and after Portugal and Spain joined the European Union.","PeriodicalId":134845,"journal":{"name":"Ciências e Políticas Públicas / Public Sciences & Policies","volume":"71 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132236339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
