Public Policy Evaluation

Municipalized public administration has been incorporated into the assumptions of modern democracy which in the case of Brazil is characterized by the Democratic Rule of Law whose guarantees to the demands of public-administrative policies are guided by aspects of governance governability and compliance. At the other extreme is the citizen who despite having social control through voting in formal democracy is limited to evaluation in the public policy process. It also introduces Denhardt's concept of the New Public Service which aims to make administrators accountable to citizens. In this sense the question is raised about the possibilities of participation in the process of evaluating municipal public policies with the specific objectives of diagnosing management practices aimed at public policies and analyzing Public Administration as a consolidator of social re-democratization. It was found that management practices are sometimes more effective in evaluating governance whether through access to information or government transparency than they are in evaluating public policies.
