“…Questioning the recognized standards of modern social sciences has led to a situation of uncertainty in the application of old models of practice in the context of postmodern society. (Rakšnys et al, 2015) However, we do not necessarily perceive this fact only as unfavorable. At the same time, postmodernism has opened up a new space for the inclusion of the voice of marginalized social groups, thus creating opportunities to integrate these groups into society.…”

Historically, the views of lawyers and social workers in the application of socio-legal protection of children in the Czech Republic often fail to understand the best interests of the child (the best interests of the child under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child). In 90´s we can see in practice the direction of implementation of the basic principles of the Convention into individual decisions of social workers. Emphasizing the principle of proportionality between the various rights of the child should lead to the recognition of the child as the holder of the rights, not as the object of care and protection. However, in the late modern era, we have seen a certain shift. Instead of reflecting on the subjective conviction of the creator of what is best for the child; rather, decisions that consist not of ignorance of the content of these fundamental rights and freedoms, but of determining the values of the decision maker. Therefore, this should lead us to a deeper reflection on how workers in social and legal protection institutions understand the issue of the best interests of the child and to further discuss its implementation. The research part of the article focuses, through qualitative interviews, on uncovering how social workers in child protection in the Czech Republic think about the best interest of the child and their impact on practice, and these results relate to the perspective of lawyers extracted from legal acts, regulations, and judgments.

“…The literature on public marketing became better used from the paradigm subsequent to managerialism, known as New Public Governance, which assumes a strong involvement of public management with its stakeholders (Runya et al, 2015;Rak snys et al, 2015), for higher administrative effectiveness of participatory democracy (Edelenbos, Klijn, & Steijn, 2010). This paradigm supports a new approach known as marketing in public services (Cezar, 2019;, when public sector commitments seek to meet the needs and expectations of citizens through participation.…”

“…In Brazil, public marketing gained fertile ground from the changes promoted by the State Reform Master Plan – PDRE, in the Portuguese acronym – based on the paradigm known as managerialist, which took place in the 1990s (Oliveira, Costa, Miranda, Mesquita, & Pereira, 2013; Silva & Minciotti, 2021), and assumed that the functions performed by the private for-profit administration could be easily transferred to public administration. This perspective received several criticism, giving rise to a set of new paradigms, known as the New Public Governance (Ronconi, 2011; Runya, Qigui, & Wei, 2015), in which marketing role is best used (Rakšnys, Guogis, & Minkevičius, 2015).…”

PurposeThis research aimed to analyze how information on public policies to mitigate the judicialization of the SUS (Brazilian Unified Health System) have been disseminated via digital media to citizens and stakeholders.Design/methodology/approachUnder a qualitative and inductive paradigm, the research was based on the search for news on the Google pages. Data were grouped into higher categories to formalize theoretical generalizations.FindingsData analysis showed that there are news classified into 11 codes, forming three news groups broadcast as an effort by the programs to legitimize themselves with society: Perceived Quality, Publicity Produced and Results Achieved.Research limitations/implicationsThe relationship between the effectiveness of public policies and their dissemination in digital media has implications for the result/legitimacy relationship, not excluding that public marketing can make a program legitimate without having results that confirm its effectiveness.Social implicationsThe work provides a means of understanding the dissemination of public policies, in particular, verifying whether these are being provided in order to establish responsible and transparent communication with the citizen or to legitimize public policies without effective results.Originality/valueThe proposed conceptual model is based on four quadrants and represents the relationship between the results achieved by public policies and legitimacy, considering a phenomenon resulting from public marketing. The association between the intensity of these constructs constitutes four themes: fake public marketing, inefficient public policy, deficient public marketing and full public policy.

“…Hood (Hood, 1991), Osborne, Gaebler (Osborne, Gaebler, 1992) defined the New Public Management model which was already practically implemented in Anglo-Saxon countries after thatcher-Reagan reforms. New Public Governance was a development of the public administration theory and practice in the Western world (Pollitt, bouckaert, 2011) and more theoretically -in central and Eastern Europe (Guogis, 2013;Rakšnys, Guogis, Minkevičius, 2015). the necessity for New Public Governance in cEEcs is postulated as having more of social value, as it was pointed above, than New Public Management and Hierarchical models.…”

It is pointed in the article that a significant and relevant direction of new social sciences in the body of the problems of research into welfare states (in general) and in central and Eastern European countries in particular, could be the investigation of the problem of compatibility and coherence between welfare state models and public administration models, to be more precise, examining if this relation is accidental or not. this problem of coherence between welfare state and public administration models has to be investigated empirically in subsequent research, as the author raises this problem firstly in this article theoretically.
