Social management and social administration: a world perspective

The study, a cooperative initiative by “Brot für die Welt” and IBASE, describes Fome Zero (2003), and Brasil Sem Miséria (2011), analyzing some of the main aspects that permeate social policy as a whole and that have ensured greater sustainability of the policies implemented, such as: i) Social mobilisation and participation in the development of public agendas and the development of social control of public policies, as ways of demarcating the scope of rights and ensuring the regular progress and sustainability of social policies; ii) The institutionalisation and regulation of social policy frameworks, through the Constitution, laws and non-statutory instruments; iii) The adoption of Public Policies Systems as a coordinated strategy for decentralising social policies; iv) Increased government funding for social policies, to allow programmes to be massive enough to deal with the number of poor people concerned; v) Intensification of inter-sectoral practices, with continuing efforts to achieve greater integration of programmes and actions; vi) The systematic conduct of national research for use in producing assessments, monitoring change and helping to formulate the results of social policy; vi) An improvement in communication with society as a whole and with the target population, so as to publicise the initiatives taken to deal with social problems and generate expectations about the goals that the government is trying to achieve.

This paper aims to present the genesis of social policy, from the first Law of the Poor in the fourteenth century to the neoliberal context of social policies in Brazil. A documentary and bibliographic study was carried out. In the fourteenth century lies the first law on poverty in Britain, which can be considered as one of the first social policies in the world. Until the eighteenth century other laws came to combat poverty, but much more punitive than welfare. The nineteenth century is marked by capitalism and the social struggle of the workers in search of rights. From the twentieth century to the present day, social policies have been linked to liberalism and neoliberalism. In the Brazilian context, social policies do not reach the objective of combating poverty, with palliative actions such as compensatory policies.

This article analyzes the development of a new modality of public-private partnership in Brazilian education, the so-called Social Impact Bond (SIB), known in Brazil as “Contrato de Impacto Social”, whose pilot project, sponsored by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), is in its initial stage of implementation in the State of São Paulo. Unlike traditional philanthropy, which legitimizes itself in the alleged non-profit nature of its actions, SIB assumes the possibility of obtaining return rates with “social investments,” leading to the creation of a new ecosystem of social finances, which, into this context of privatization of education, incorporates agents interested in capitalizing on the provision of public services to vulnerable populations, in this case, to secondary students from public schools in the State of São Paulo. This kind of contract, or bond—paid by means of “delivery” of results—raises a series of ethical, legal, and political-pedagogical issues related to the...

The article lays the foundation for a dialog between scholars of Brazilian social thought and historians of sociology as a discipline. In order to achieve this objective, I analyze recent developments in the field of the history of sociology, highlighting the incorporation of historiographic methods and the emergence of a transnational approach, which points toward a global history of the discipline. I criticize the Eurocentric limits of this field and argue that recent research trends in the area of Brazilian social thought can help overcome this limitation. Finally, I briefly analyze the obstacles that impede this dialog and indicate possible strategies for overcoming them.

In this article we will try to discuss the specificities and connexions between Social Work and Sociology, conceiving the possibility to surpass sterile oppositions and to compose an analytical and practical integrated model by the articulation, without assimilation, of the two disciplines. In fact, many traditions and trends in Sociology, particularly from the Sociology of Action and Critical Sociology, have contributed to a critical questioning of the modern Social Work professional practice, namely about the processes and strategies of social control and the paradox underlying the dissociation between the theoretical-philosophical assumptions of Social Work and its actual practice, frequently with paternalistic and normative outlines. On the other hand, some perspectives of Social Work, specially on what concerns the comprehension and evaluation of social policies and social needs, have also an important role in the (re)construction of sociological analytical perspectives. Following such assumptions, we will discuss, in the first part of the article, the analytic and methodological crossings between Social Work and Sociology, in order to consider, in the second part, the possibilities and pertinence of an osmotic and truly interdisciplinary model integrating both disciplines.

One of the main problems faced by Sociology and, in general, by the Social Sciences in Brazil, has to do with the capacity of facing, in a theoretical-methodological way, the thematic and historical challenges that the present situation of the Brazilian society poses. Do the Brazilian Social Sciences and, in special, the Brazilian Sociology, have paradigmatic-thematic and institutional-professional requirements to appropriately face the new theoreticalmethodological as well as practical-political challenges arising from the contemporary Brazilian social processes? The present text is divided in two complementary sections, which focus: 1-The Sociology of Knowledge, the Sociology of Science and the Sociology of Sociology; and 2-Seven main themes on Contemporary Sociology in Brazil.

This article examines the expansion of undergraduate and graduate programs in Brazil, characterizing the convergences and divergences between the two educational levels in the last 15 years. This is a document study based on data available on the websites of the Ministry of Education and the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES). Undergraduate studies in social work are currently offered by 575 institutions, distributed among Brazil's five geographical regions, particularly in the Southeast and South. These institutions are for the most part private and provide both classroom-based and distance learning formats. Graduate studies programs continue to expand at a different pace. They are primarily linked to public institutions, with classroombased teaching and a higher number of PhD holders among their professors. Keywords-Undergraduate. Graduate. Social work.
