“Transformações administrativas: análise do papel da Caixa Econômica Federal na efetividade de políticas públicas e execução do Orçamento Geral da União”
Description
The 1988 Federal Constitution consecrated new rights and stated in its preamble the claim to the construction of a State to ensure that the exercise of social and individual rights, freedom, security and well-being, development, equality and justice as the supreme values. Thus, the result of a sui generis political juncture, the new Constitution has established a series of new social rights in a country then marked by social inequality, regional and by the challenges of economic development. The construction of a social State in Brazil occurs, however, in a moment of constant and profound transformations socio economic worldwide, in particular those that came to be called "globalization". In addition to the impressive heritage of patrimonialism in public management, the effectiveness of social rights in Brazil has the challenge of facing, particularly acute, all the elements present in the denominate Social State Crisis. The challenge to seek new ways of activity that increase the efficiency and scope of public services to meet the needs arising from the social inclusion process of urbanization, the increase of schooling, among others. It is precisely among that context of profound social changes and cost of the world, that pose challenges to the social State and its affirmation in Brazil, that the Caixa Econômica Federal starts to act as operating arm of the federal government in the realization of the public policies. The emergence of this peculiar activity, typically not financial \ bank, which has to be provided by a public company, is closely related to the State's efforts to make responses able to face these challenges. Therefore, the company's operations in economic activity has been based on the achievement of a double collective interest, with an economic and social function other eminently social. Economic social function is mainly manifested in the search for, such as national development, reducing inequalities, the eradication of poverty and social marginalization. In the public policy agent status, this social function expands, materializing a series of constitutional social rights (the right to housing, transport, food, work, education and assistance to the destitute). This innovative form of public service has provided combine the efficiencies, control and productivity sought by state reform measures with the domain and ownership of the operational structure of public services recommended by the constitutional order. In synthesis, the model adopted has allowed overcoming the patrimonial culture and incorporated important values of managerial vision without giving the public control over the implementation of policies, it marks up the achievement of the Constitutional objectives to ensure the centrality of individual rights and social, away from the performance of public administration in mainly based on models of deviations in the private economic interest.Caixa Econômica Federal
