A ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA SOCIETAL: um instrumento de controle e participação social
Abstract
Post-social states have been glimpsed throughout the world in recent decades. In these states, fundamental rights, such as freedom, gain broader meaning through management models that provide society with eRective forms of parti- cipation. It is within this framework that Societal Public Administration emer- ges, presented as an alternative to managerialism. This work, descriptive in na- ture and based on bibliographic research, aims to verify the presence, in Brazil, of this peculiar form of administration, define and describe it. It is concluded that this is a form of social management that is aligned with a substantive ra- tionality, thus possibly allowing an eRective social control and participation in public administration, but that is not yet fully settled in this country.
