De Barbalho a Gueiros: clientelismo e política educacional no Pará, 1983-1990

Abstract

This study analyzes the actions of the Brazilian State during the past two decades, having Social Policies, and, specifically, Educational Policies as the center of discussion. Local power is analyzed through Government Plans for the State of Para during the period of 1983 to March 1991, administrations from the perspective of political clienteles and its networks within the governmental area. An analysis of the State of Para educational public policy seeks to comprehend its effectiveness in relation to the necessary changes in the pedagogical process It is accepted as a premise that the actors that formulate the policies and the actors that execute these policies are distinct, but, both, accept the challenge of the formulation and administration of Educational Policy. Although planning and execution are related processes, in practice, they do not occur in this form We further attempt, a comparative analysis between the two administrations and the public policies elaborated and implemented by them. We opted to work with politics starting from 1982 - the first direct election in the States after 1964. Until the present moment there are no systematic studies in the State of Para, about the administration of Educational Public Policies during this period. The research used data from both primary sources (interviews - depoiments), as well as secondary sources (document analysis).
