Contributions to consolidate the new public governance: identifying dimensions of analysis

Abstract

Resumo Compreender a New Public Governance (NPG) como modelo de gestão vai ao encontro do atendimento às demandas atuais impostas pela sociedade às administrações públicas, em que há a necessidade de envolver os cidadãos no processo decisório das políticas públicas. Com isso, numa perspectiva macro, gerar informações sobre a evidenciação da NPG poderá contribuir para o desenvolvimento de estratégias que atendam às demandas que os cidadãos impõem à gestão, algo até então pouco efetivado pelos modelos existentes de administração pública. Dessa forma, este trabalho objetiva levantar dimensões para a análise da NPG, ainda carente na literatura. Conforme demonstrado, existem fundamentos para isso, entre eles: democracia deliberativa, coprodução e valor público. Por meio desses pressupostos, são analisadas dimensões sobre dois focos principais: estrutura e processos. Verificou-se que a NPG utiliza ferramentas dos modelos administrativos anteriores, mas busca sua ênfase dentro dos princípios democráticos e de legitimidade. Por fim, ressalta-se a necessidade de estudos teóricos e empíricos que possibilitem maior compreensão dessas ferramentas, permitindo uma administração pública mais inclusiva e com ações mais legítimas.

Brazil’s over-centralised governance of digital transformation

“…Brazil's over-centralised governance of digital transformation managers. As Pereira and Ckagnazaroff (2021) point out in their discussion of the new public governance (NPG) model, the institutional arrangements of governance must foster networks of interdependencies between public and non-state actors grounded in the need to solve complex problems.…”

“…The transition from the hierarchical and bureaucratic approach of public management 3 to the systemic approach of the NPG demands a new form of organisation from the state: an institutional arrangement based on relationships within and outside the government that configure structures according to national contexts (Pereira & Ckagnazaroff, 2021). According to Pereira and Ckagnazaroff (2021), public governance can be analysed in terms of the following dimensions: (1) main values related to governance, such as integrity, transparency, and efficiency; (2) the structure of the institutional system that is responsible for promoting interaction to obtain results, through networks, power, and coordination; and (3) processes of evaluating and monitoring the results of public policies.…”

“…In terms of the NPG framework, a country's governance of digital transformation can be evaluated in terms of the degree to which the institutional arrangement allows: the power of the state to shift to other actors; networks of actors to form and articulate towards a goal; and knowledge and information to be coordinated in the search for solutions (Pereira & Ckagnazaroff, 2021).…”

“…In their recent article on NPG, Pereira and Ckagnazaroff (2021) characterise this mode of governance as: a type of governmental institutional arrangement which, in articulating economic-financial, institutional-administrative and socio-political dimensions, establishes partnerships with civil society and the market through deliberative processes, and seeks innovative solutions to social problems. (p. 112) As Pereira and Ckagnazaroff (2021) point out, NPG is associated with democratic inclusion that allows civil society and private sector actors to contribute to public policies in a partnership process in the search for solutions to social problems. The ideal NPG approach is one in which multiple actors contribute and influence the public policy decision-making system, and consequently contribute to the delivery of public services.…”

“…The concept of deliberative democracy is concerned with the way in which citizens rely on the rules of democracy (Pereira & Ckagnazaroff, 2021:114). It aims to design conditions that are conducive to legitimise democracy "where the discourse theory proposes an ideal procedure of deliberation and decision making" (Pereira & Ckagnazaroff, 2021;114). The democratic procedure assumes that results that stem from a flow of relevant information are trustworthy and can be used without hesitation (Faria, 2000, cited in Pereira andCkagnazaroff, 2021:114).…”
