POSSÍVEIS CONTRIBUIÇÕES DE CHARLES TAYLOR PARA O ORÇAMENTO PÚBLICO: desafios para as políticas públicas

Abstract

The study addresses the public budget as an instrument that evidences a series of choices guided by public policies, revealing that its development should at least mirror an arena of political struggle, to provide that the divergent social forces move to achieve their interests. The article also mentions the Portuguese experience of off-budget as an administrative decentralization process and the studies of Charles Taylor concerning the desired structuring of new meanings for human actions that can travel between the individual issues and public space in search of a recognition process. It is proposed to build a democratic model of budget planning associated with a vision to provide the participation of all recipients in order to pursue an ethic that allows individuals to recover what gives them the possibility of designin g existentially meaningful ways of life and engagement in society.
