Banco Interamericano de Desenvolvimento e Política Urbana no município de Belém: tensões e compatibilidades no modelo de gestão de cidades e no discurso da participação social
(Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, 2006-03-22) SANTANA, Joana Valente; GUERRA, Yolanda Aparecida Demetrio; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4263622867321897
This thesis aims at learning the meaning of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) multilateral financial aid for Latin American countries, particularly Brazil, and tries to identify how the bank operates, through several mediations, in the defense of continuing capital accumulation. Our research identified that IDB operates not only as a policy financing agent, but mainly as the general intelligentsia of the interests of the elite by prescribing management models for: a) federal governments through the Country Documents and Strategy Documents (mainly about State reform themes connected to the neoliberal recommendation of structural adjustments to facilitate – among other things – the payment of the foreign debts by the central governments); b) municipal governments, through the dissemination of a city management model, urging local authorities to take over the execution of social policies with efficiency and economy in the public social expenditures, and implement sectoral and focused policies (for the “urban poor”), while preparing, at the same time, the city infrastructure in order to attract corporate investors besides forming “partnerships” with society (enhancing social participation) and private initiatives. On the other hand, this thesis also analyzes the city management model, based on the democratic perspective of the Urban Reform (specially the city democratic management principle), which is contrary to the neoliberal model recommended by IDB, thus favoring working classes factions, validating democratic processes (direct democracy) in the defense of citizenship, referenced by socialist ideologies. Such democratic model started to be widely used in Brazil, particularly when some municipalities started to be run by Workers Party mayors (as of 2000). At that moment, there was some expectation regarding the creation of proposals incorporating the political advances in the social sector as provided in the Federal Constitution of 1988. In the city of Belém, State of Pará, a left winged front run by the Workers Party won the elections in 1996, renewing its mandate until 2004. At the level of government planning, the Municipal Authority of Belém claimed for a political management connected to the city management democratic model, based on the principles of social participation and state democratization. Through a project financed by IDB (Habitar Brazil Program – IDB), the Local Development Plan “Riacho Doce” and “Pantanal”, the city had to comply with a series of demands, such as the signature of an Acceptance Contract by 80% of the users. Since the city authorities favored an alternate planning, which enhanced the participation of the local residents in all stages of the project, the research tried to identify points of conflict and of compatibility between the city management models and the social participation notion (a neoliberal proposal by IDB) of democratic base. The results indicate that the city management democratic model discourse presents some elements of conflict (contrary trends), mainly expressed by the proposals for the universalization of rights, inter-sectoral policies, and allusions to socialist ideals. Elements of compatibility were also found (adaptation of the Plan in order to guarantee the funds), but the overall result appointed to more points of difference than of compatibility between the neoliberal and the democratic agendas.

Desenho ideológico do BID: modelo de gestão no Promaben em Belém, Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-06) SANTANA, Joana Valente
This article discusses the administrative model for cities promoted by the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) for Latin America and the Caribbean, using as an example the Sanitation Program for the Estrada Nova watershed (Promaben), in the municipality of Belém, in Pará State. Based on Marxist social theory, IADB documents available on line related to projects approved by the bank in 26 Latin American and Caribbean countries from 1960 - 2011 were studied. The paper indicates the construction of an ideological design by IADB, related to the issues of financing, poverty and the environment. It reviews studies about ideology and the administrative model for cities and compares the IADB's stated objectives with the projects approved in Latin America and the Caribbean. It analyzes the resources destined to Promaben and reflects that under the appearance of decreasing poverty and attention to the environment, the IADB gives priority to physical infrastructure projects for cities and economic projects.

In the last twenty years, many research themes were addressed in the Master’s theses in Social Work and several challenges were faced by the Graduate Program in Social Work (PPGSS) of UFPA. This paper, written within the Brazilian context of graduate studies in Social Work, presents thematic data of 195 theses from PPGSS-UFPA, in the period from 1998 to 2016, and addresses the relationship between the study themes as well as the discussions held by the Brazilian Association of Teaching and Research in Social Work (ABEPSS), CFESS/CRESS (Federal and Regional Councils of Social Work) and the research directories in CNPq/field of Social Work. The bibliographic review of the theses indicates Work as the most frequently addressed theme, followed by Education and Training and Socio-Professional Space of Social Work, Urban and Agrarian Issues, Social Security, Generational Issues and Social Movements, among others.
