Public policies and multilevel governance to promote the creative economy from the cultural fi eld: inter-federative support for Curitiba’s policy

Abstract

The design and implementation of public policies to promote the creative economy as a new sustainable development based have not shown the same results in different societies. This article aims to evaluate the strength and ability of a multilevel governance system formed by institutions and actors at federal, state, and local levels to design and implement public policy to promote the creative economy as an alternative for Brazilian development. The analysis is guided by the concept of multilevel governance, considering horizontal relations and vertical relations to address the public problems of interest to all. The process mapping model for the formulation of public policy called Multiple Streams was necessary for its potential to grasp the logic of the political process. The results indicate the difficulties in forming a multilevel governance system with sufficient capacity to design and implement public policies from the cultural field to promote the creative economy at the federal level, in the state of Paraná and the city of Curitiba.

Concepções, Políticas Públicas e Práticas Relacionadas à Economia Criativa: uma revisão integrativa da literatura

“…A política pública nacional de economia criativa, criada e extinta com o antigo Ministério da Cultura, deixou legados de como deveria se estruturar as políticas públicas para economia criativa, contemplando as particularidades brasileiras. Apesar disso, observa-se que esse tema foi de difícil articulação dentro do governo federal, de tal maneira que a Secretaria de Economia Criativa (SEC) acabou por ser extinta pelo próprio governo que a criou (Procopiuck & Freder, 2020).…”

“…O conceito de indústrias criativas descrito no PBC apresenta uma separação entre setor criativo dos demais setores econômicos. Com isso, o conceito sofre uma limitação que favorece a criatividade no âmbito cultural, dificultando a incorporação de outras vertentes, como a tecnologia, a inovação e o empreendedorismo (Procopiuck & Freder, 2020).…”

Ecosocioeconomies and local development: Experiences in an urban farmers market in the Brazilian Amazon

“…In the field of “new economies,” the ecosocioeconomies emerge to create specific epistemologies for regions and territories, overcoming the dependence on diagnoses based on macro theories or understanding problems based on the dominant paradigm to conceive and implement appropriate strategies locally. Naturally, the risks of incurring exaggerated ethnocentrism or the localism of emerging paradigms are recognized (Abramovay, 2012; Procopiuck and Freder, 2020; Sampaio and Alves, 2019). Despite these risks, this path seems viable to obtain solutions adapted to our reality, with development focused on satisfying basic human needs, with greater self-sufficiency and organic connection between humans, nature, and technology, without, however, dispensing the need for interaction between global and local processes; between personal and social behavior, and the relationship between civil society and the government.…”
