“…Contrariwise, we suggest the need for countries to ensure symmetry between policy goals and policy measures. Public administration and policy studies scholars have emphasised the necessity of adopting a rational approach to policymaking where problem definition, agenda‐setting, and strategies are symmetric for actualising policy goals (Barbehön et al, 2015; Dery, 2000; Knill & Tosun, 2012). This theoretical context underpins our argument for policy symmetry.…”

Improving the climate change mitigation regime of major emitting countries: The case of South Africa, China, Germany and the United States of America

The recent report (the Sixth Assessment Report of Working Group 1) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change clearly points to the urgency of global climate action. Optimal governance regimes are necessary for climate change mitigation in major greenhouse gas‐emitting countries and economic sectors. Given our study's domain, the ‘climate change governance’ concept suffices as our theoretical framework. Adopting comparative legal and policy analysis and the case study approach, we examine the climate governance regimes in four regional carbon‐intensive countries – South Africa, China, Germany, and the United States of America – with the primary objective of identifying areas for improving their regulatory capacity to mitigate climate change. Thus, we examine the relationship between climate policy goals/targets, the prevailing policy environment, and supportive strategies for achieving policy goals in our case study countries. Drawing on the climate governance literature, we adopt ‘target setting’, ‘supportive measures/strategies’, ‘comprehensiveness’, and ‘oversight body’ as the indices for our analysis. Our results reveal striking similarities and contrasts in the focus countries, signalling opportunities for improvements across different parameters. The study suggests the need for policy symmetry between governance (emissions reduction) goals and regime design elements such as proportional supportive strategies and comprehensive coverage of carbon‐intensive economy sectors. We also canvass the necessity of avoiding policy and institutional fragmentations that hamper the emergence of clear and well‐coordinated climate policy direction in countries. As climate change governance is now at a critical juncture, this study will significantly improve the regimes of our focus countries and other jurisdictions with similar peculiarities.

“…Although, as the course of state action is a strategic landmark of the feminist struggle, we prioritize it in the present article, calling it the feminist public policy agenda. Farah's (2004) definition brings up a central concept of public policy studies: agenda formation (KINGDON, 2006;SUBIRATS et al, 2012;BARBEHÖN;MÜNCH;LAMPING, 2015), adapting it to policy analysis of gender equality. Based therein, we understand the feminist public policies agenda as the construction of an articulation of public issues that reproduce gender inequality with solutions, involving rights and policies, to overcome them.…”

Resumo Neste artigo, investigamos o nível de aderência dos serviços de cuidado de crianças de zero a três anos à agenda feminista de políticas públicas. Para isso, realizamos um estudo de casos qualitativo de três países latino-americanos (Brasil, Argentina e Uruguai), durante o “giro à esquerda”. Analisando três indicadores parametrizados (elegibilidade, cobertura e tipo de jornada), identificamos avanços maiores no Uruguai, mais restritos na Argentina e intermediários no Brasil. A variação positiva foi maior para elegibilidade e cobertura, do que para tipo de jornada. Concluímos que essa assimetria na variação dos indicadores sugere que os avanços decorrem principalmente do reconhecimento dos direitos das crianças à educação, e, secundariamente, do compromisso com a igualdade de gênero.

“…A dinâmica de sua constituição é dialética e não linear, além de integrativa das "etapas" da política pública (agenda, formulação, implementação etc.) (WAGENAAR, 2011;Marlon BARBEHÖN;Sybille MÜNCH;Wolfram LAMPING, 2015).…”

Resumo: Análises de políticas de igualdade de gênero habitam as fronteiras entre dois campos do conhecimento científico: estudos feministas e política pública. Buscando convergir as contribuições desses dois campos, debatemos o conceito de transversalidade de gênero em política pública neste ensaio teórico. Para isso, estabelecemos conexões entre eles e o conceito de enquadramento de política pública. Como resultado, definimos transversalidade de gênero como um processo de incorporação de perspectivas feministas no enquadramento de políticas públicas, tanto na construção do problema público, quanto na definição do curso da ação pública. Identificamos que esse processo se materializa no desenvolvimento de condições institucionais, propiciando a aderência das políticas às agendas políticas feministas.
