Opis

The book "Public Policies, Regional and Urban Studies: Approaches and Strategies" aims to discuss public policies from a theoretical, methodological and empirical point of view, analyzing experiences of formulation, implementation and evaluation, their repercussions for the beneficiaries and in the context of the development process. The book is divided into two parts. The first, "Theoretical and empirical aspects of public policies", contains four chapters dealing with the debate on regional policies and the contextualization of their absence, a theoretical and methodological foundation for the analysis of public policies, the challenges of social housing policy and the differences in the governance patterns of urban projects. The second part "Approaches and strategies" is made up of four texts that discuss concrete experiences of public policies, analyzing them from aspects such as: violence in the intra-urban space, impacts of a local development strategy, perceptions of municipal public managers about poverty and its implications for the development process, and an analysis of the institutional vision in relation to a nation's participation in international trade.
