Living conditions,
State and public policies
2. Health policies and social participation.
This project will incorporate an assessment of participative
projects into the study of the relationships between politics
and public policy. The guiding hypothesis is that, by including
civil society in public health policy discussions will promote
the exchange of information and enhance the transparency
of the political process, thus expanding the changes or
achieving a more equitable distribution of public healthcare
resources.
However, we still know very little about participative
processes and the social networks that link these segments
to bureaucracy and elected officials, and how these arenas
could influence the decision making process.
To expand our knowledge of the dynamics between the different
players, and assess how each can contribute to reversing
the distribution distortions revealed in previous studies,
we will systematically analyze data regarding the distribution
of public health services in the city of Sao Paulo,
and the processes involved in implementing, operating
and managing local health councils.
