Development and social innovation today represent two important dimensions in the training of students in public administration. This seminar aims to unite these two themes through a critical and reflective approach that aims to discuss alternatives to 'western' development, including trends such as post-development, buen vivir, approaches anchored in the environmental crisis and indigenous views, post-extractivism, the paradigm of the great transition, the politics of commons and others.

The healthcare sector is by definition an interdisciplinary field of action that aims to promote, recover, and above all, maintain the health of a population. To achieve this, the state should develop actions and provide resources, as stipulated in Article 196 of the 1988 Constitution. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are aimed at improving the quality of life of individuals by 2030. These include MDG 3 - Health and Well-being and MDG 10 - Reduction of Inequalities. For the objective of achieving health and well-being, reducing inequalities in living conditions and access to services is essential. It is increasingly important to analyze and intervene in living conditions or health determinants. The use of technology, especially informatics, can be a breakthrough in this regard, although it can also widen the gap between different regions. In Brazil, starting in 2023, there will be a new configuration of the Unified Health System (SUS) due to the COVID pandemic, and access considerations will have to be refocused.

The course aims to introduce students to the literature on public policy implementation and the role of state bureaucracies in implementation. Through an analysis of the main theoretical and analytical models, the course will enable students to develop the ability to analyze policy implementation and understand how bureaucrats act.

The course will be developed based on approaches to political economy and how interest groups and companies articulate around state and government policies. This is an interdisciplinary field of study between political science, economics and public administration that seeks to analyze how political actors organize themselves to influence government decisions and the public policies that result from them. Although there is agreement on the object of study, there are many theories that propose to analyze this process. It seeks to create opportunities for the knowledge of these different approaches as a way of expanding the analytical possibilities of the organized action of interest groups and companies.

The course will analyze the relationship between federalism and public policies from three perspectives. The first is conceptual, studying the concept of Federation and its impacts on public policies, whether from a theoretical point of view or from the point of view of comparative international experience. Secondly, the intersection of the federative theme with the construction of a Welfare State in Brazil will be analyzed, starting with the presentation of a broader historical panorama and focusing on the changes that occurred especially since the 1988 Constitution. Finally, some specific governmental sectors will be discussed, such as Education, Health, Social Assistance, Environment, among the main ones, to show how the intergovernmental dynamics is a key piece to understand the functioning and the results of the Brazilian Public Administration.

The course aims to train students in the concepts and tools necessary for conducting applied research at a professional level in public policy impact assessment. The course is organized in lectures on theory and quantitative techniques through the solution of cases applied to the evaluation of public policies in Brazil and in the world, and in readings and discussion of empirical academic articles. We will also discuss the stages of an empirical research cycle, from the conception of research projects in public policy evaluation to the academic publication cycle. There will even be opportunities for discussion/mentoring of research/thesis projects.

The relationship between technology and sustainability has been increasingly paradoxical in our century. If on one hand the technological development has brought great advances in the quality of life and productivity in many regions of the world, on the other hand its omnipresence in all spheres of human life and the different levels of penetration in different areas has also been a source of tensions and criticism. Recent research in ICT - information and communication technologies - point to a positive contribution of these technologies for sustainable development, in particular its necessary alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, in various areas of activities, such as fighting poverty and inequalities, improving health, education, employment and many other topics. The positive effect is mainly through increased access to information and reduction of communication costs. Internet and mobile phones have great potential for improving health and education systems and in fighting regional and social inequalities, as well as proctecting the environment. However these benefits are not being fully realized for a number of reasons of a different nature, which can be analyzed from different perspectives. In this interdisciplinary course we discuss the different roles that ICT can play to sustainable development. The focus is the Brazilian scenario, but during the course will be extensively discussed examples of other cultures and territories. This theme, which has already been internationally known as ICT for Good (alignment of Information and Communication Technologies with the Sustainable Development Goals), has produced extensive bibliography that will be widely used during the course.

The debate on control and democracy is gaining more and more space in Brazil. Initially linked to Law (prioritizing the field of legality) and Administration (in the reflection on efficiency), the connection with democracy gains relevance when political scientists and sociologists begin to research the multiple forms of control and dialogue with institutions and the separation of powers. Seeking to cover this process, we will follow this path:
1) debate on control and its multiple narratives;
2) control and democracy;
3) the institutions of control over the government (our central focus);
4) expanding the debate: transparency and accountability strengthening controls.

In this course, the student will learn the fundamentals of urban economics. Starting with the canonical model of equilibrium between transportation costs and land prices, the student will understand the economic logic behind individual behavior within urban areas and its consequences for cities. Building on this foundation, the course aims to introduce the student to the analysis of urban public policies, real estate markets, and local taxation. Elements of transportation economics and the economics of crime will also be explored in an introductory manner.
