O Sistema Único de Assistência Social em foco : uma análise da gestão na perspectiva da administração pública democrática

Abstract

This present work has as a goal promoting a critical reflection regarding the administrative organizat ion of the Social Assistance Policy, particularly the town of Juiz de Fora. As we first take the historical Marxist category, it is necessary to elicit that the journey of the brazilian public administration development was processed over the created amalg am between bureaucracy and patrimonialism. Such a fusion must be understood as a result of the subordinate inclusion of the country worldwide and of its own internal context of the dominant classes’ alliances. This way, we can exclude lower classes of bein g part of the State participation. To this type of organization are added Brazilian social assistances singularities marked by patronage, trading favors and the State that omits not recognizing it as the right policy. Not far from the redemocratization of the country process, the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the Organic Law of Social Assistance have put the social assistance in another level, assuring it as a social right belonging to a Brazilian Social Security but at the same level, was challenged by the introduction of the neoliberalism, by the counter reformation of the State process and the emphasis on the managerial speech. Such tension, aggravated in the beginning of the year two thousand, had also faced the new regulatory milestones of the Social Assistance Policy which engendered democratic possibilities for its growth as it allowed, for the first time, a guarantee of a public apparatus, embodied by Single System of Social Assistance. Based on this adverse context, the goal of this work consisted in investigate if the town S.S.S.A. management has been contributing for a democratic administration or reassuring the minimalist elements vaunted by the capitalistic restructure, considering in-between, traces of patrimonialism that show some singulariti es of the reality of a town. The methodological approach, by using dialectical materialist method, consisted in extract all central and concrete categories of the study to focus on the analysis of the documents acquired. To do so, this analyzed content was faced with the reflections elicited in chapters I and II taking a theoretical and methodological behavior of listing this interaction with the data from the deepening rights defense. Thus, the text tried to demonstrate the advances showed by this local reality system and the neoliberal deadlock that makes this conformation tense.
