Legislative Pork‐Barrel Funding and Public Policy Outcomes
The growing legislative influence over budget allocations through pork‐barrel funding raises concerns that this type of distributive policy may undermine effectiveness. We examine Brazil's mandatory pork‐barrel system to assess whether funding availability affects health outcomes and how local conditions shape these effects. We focus on municipalities' abilities to attract resources (“funding concentration”) and their autonomy over investment dec…
“Hitting the Target, but Missing the Point” in Regulatory Impact Assessments
The extent to which Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIAs) conform to the “ideal” rational decision‐making model depends on factors such as political appropriation and the capacity of regulatory bodies. However, despite RIAs being embedded in bureaucratic settings, little research examines how the degree of formalization of RIA implementation affects their quality. In many contexts, RIAs are implemented within decision‐making environments character…
Bridging Hegemony and Decolonial Epistemology
Is the State a Socially Responsible Shareholder? State-Owned Enterprises, Political Ideology, and Corporate Social Performance
Financial performance of state-owned enterprises
Corporatization in the public sector entails decentralizing the provision of public goods and services to more autonomous entities, including state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Research indicates that the decision to corporatize is driven, among other factors, by the pursuit of financial sustainability in public organizations. A continuing debate revolves around whether the political ideology of incumbents is linked to the creation of SOEs. However,…
Bureaucrats’ willingness to resist democratic backsliding
Regulatory reforms, normative changes, and performance
Over the past three decades the Latin American region has experienced various regulatory reforms, and distinctive normative changes have been introduced in the framework, instruments, or procedures adopted by independent regulatory agencies (IRAs). While there is evidence that the establishment of an IRA positively affects regulated sector performance, little is known about the effects of these additional legal dispositions when incorporated in p…
Roundtable
Global recognition that there are universal human rights and that governments have a duty to respect them, was one of the most important developments of the 20th century. In this century, though, human rights are challenged in many places. What role do scholars and practitioners in public administration play in protecting human rights? This question has not received adequate attention in the field. In this roundtable, nine scholars explore the di…
Presidential policy narratives and the (mis)use of scientific expertise
Political leaders rely on narratives to make sense of crises, but the extent to which such narratives are used to (de)mobilize scientific evidence in policy responses has not been fully explored. Based on the analysis of public messages and communications of the presidents of Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico, we discuss how they have narratively approached the Covid-19 crisis, particularly with respect to the degree of their reliance on scientific ex…
The benefits of nonprofit reputation
Reputation is a valuable intangible resource whose role in public–nonprofit collaborations remains unexplored. Does nonprofit reputation influence government funding and nonprofit performance? Does nonprofit performance enhance nonprofit reputational gains? Our identification strategy adopts panel regression methods to assess whether nonprofit reputation influences government funding and nonprofit performance in 675 collaborations between the Bra…
Representation, reputation and expectations towards bureaucracy
Symbolic representation and bureaucratic reputation both refer to perceptions of government agencies, but few studies have examined how these concepts interact. We employed a survey experiment in a Brazilian favela, a unique audience of vulnerable citizens defined by the intersectionality race, class, and spatial segregation, to probe how citizens perceive agencies with differing reputations (police versus public schools) when the agency leader i…

Quo Vadis? Career paths of Brazilian regulators
Research about professional trajectories of regulators highlights the exchange of personnel from independent regulatory agencies (IRAs) to the private sector, mainly based on US evidence. However, current studies indicate that revolving doors in different contexts may share more nuances, reflecting the role of different political institutions. Here we rely on sequence analysis to explore the trajectories of 117 Brazilian board members of IRAs, in…
Governmental responses to Covid-19 Pandemic
In response to the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, governments worldwide adopted a variety of strategies that include not just preventive or mitigation strategies adopted to “flatten the curve”, but also interventions aiming to mitigate economic and social impacts of the pandemic. RAP`s special issue gathered 17 reflexive, timely and relevant contributions of different governmental approaches to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper w…

Agencies in the news? Public agencies' media evaluations in a low‐trust context
Bureaucratic reputations are largely shaped by the media's evaluations of such agencies. However, the research overlooks how the media evaluates public agencies, particularly in low‐trust contexts. Using inductive machine‐learning techniques, we uncover the media's evaluations of Brazilian regulatory agencies based on more than 38,000 stories published within the last 20 years with the aim of exploring what drives their media evaluations and whic…
A nova Reforma Administrativa
As ondas reformistas da administração pública brasileira não são fenômenos recentes. Ao contrário, esforços de modernização têm sido presentes desde a reforma burocrática do governo Vargas até os dias de hoje, com a proposta da PEC 32/2020. Neste artigo analisamos os contornos da PEC 32/2020, destacando sua ênfase nas políticas de gestão de pessoas, e focamos na questão da estabilidade, uma vez que a proposta busca revisar os vínculos trabalhista…
What should we expect from the new administrative reform proposal? A brief analysis of the Constitutional Amendment Bill (PEC 32/2020)
The response of the Brazilian public administration to the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic
This special call for papers of the Brazilian Journal of Public Administration (RAP) reflects on the responses of the Brazilian public administration to the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of submissions showed an unprecedented mobilization of scholars: we received 211 papers from 613 researchers representing 185 research institutions. Female

Collaboration, (Dis)trust and Control in Brazilian Manufactured Public/Non-profit Partnerships
This study seeks to evaluate whether interorganizational trust and interpersonal trust influence the nature of state control in Brazilian public/non-profit partnerships (PNPs) by considering the social organization model with a non-profit partner that did not evolve organically from civil society as an equal and interdependent partner but instead was engineered by the state. We conducted qualitative research on two PNPs and analysed their histori…

Regulatory Impact Assessment
Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIAs) are being diffused progressively throughout the world following the recommendations of international organizations. Research has shown that the diffusion of RIA has not produced convergence in actual practices, particularly in developing countries, due to political forces at work in domestic contexts or the available organizational capacities. The Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) h…

Demarcação científica
Odebate acerca da demarcação científica tem privilegiado enfoques guiados, principalmente, pela preocupação em identificar características únicas e essenciais da ciência que a distinguem e separam de outras atividades consideradas não científicas. Este trabalho apresenta uma reflexão sobre o processo de demarcação científica, a partir da perspectiva do construtivismo crítico, perspectiva essa que se propõe a rever criticamente as premissas do con…
The knowledge-building process of public administration research
Assessments of public administration research in the Global South are relatively scarce, although they are relevant in moving beyond a North–South dichotomy in understanding the knowledge-building process of public administration. In this article, we apply a content analysis to 592 Brazilian publications in order to assess the subjects of the studies, their cognitive orientations, their methodological strategies, and their institutional aspects, …

The discursive formation of a scientific field
In this article, we seek to analyze the formation of the scientific field of Genetics in the USA, from the late 19th to the early 20th century, by means of a historical perspective. The Foucauldian discursive approach and studies about boundary work developed within the sociology of science and technology are used as a conceptual framework. We analyze the process of formation of the new scientific field of Genetics, highlighting the role of the p…

Taylorism in the Socialism that Really Existed
The principal objective of the present paper is to analyse the introduction of Taylorism, understood as a capitalist way of managing production and labour, in the former Soviet Union. The application of this capitalist model of production and management had strongly influenced the course of Socialism in the former Soviet Union. The study concentrates on the changes which occurred within the period 1917—1929, trying to highlight the factors that i…
