Maria Miguel Estrela — 2024-01-08

This article is part of an inquiry into the processes triggered by the Projeto de Desenvolvimento Comunitário de Lajedos – Santo Antão island, in the Cape Verde archipelago. This project is introduced as a participatory social practice with collectively built learning activities, which led to emancipatory dynamics for those involved. This article relates the concept autonomy as a construct in actions carried out in the community, within the scope of a socio-community development project, with emancipatory pedagogical practices. Regarding the methodology, this is a case study, with a qualitative approach, based on a theoretical foundation on concepts such as development, education, participation, and autonomy. This research aimed to know and understand how these concepts are interconnected and operationalized through actions taken by the non-governmental organization (NGO) Atelier Mar, in the project under study, deployed in the rural community of Lajedos, Cape Verde.

Public policy and social protection in Galicia:

Wecia Mualem Sousa de Moraes — 2024-01-08

The welfare state, public social policy, and social protection systems are undergoing various forms of disorganization in contemporary times. In the meantime, the International Labour Organization (ILO) calls for an expanded concept of social protection that encompasses human dignity, social justice, and sustainable development. By acknowledging the existence of close relationships between social protection and public policy, this article, which derives from extensive research on public policy and participation, aims to situate daily work in the hierarchy of values of people who make their living from “fishing on foot,” as well as their perceptions and versions of these relationships in the Spanish case. The participants in this research were workers linked to Spanish fishing guilds, social organizations that date back to the 11th-13th centuries and have been changing in order to adapt to current social changes, in line with the wishes of “globalization,” constituting associative bodies regulated by the State that represent small-scale fishermen.

The role of CMDCA in the implementation of the socio-educational policy of this open country

Helga Barreto Tavares — 2024-01-08

The Municipal Council of Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente is the fulcral institution of the care policy drawn up both by the 1988 Constitution and by the ECA, in light of the comprehensive protection doutrina. However, its role in the specific field of socio-educational measures remains little studied and even less concretized. It is necessary that the present work seeks to contribute, debating how the CMDCA can act in the open socioeducation for the mere approval of ten-year plans. For both purposes, a comparison is to be made between the legal analysis of SINASE, and the text of CONANDA’s resolutions that detail the regulation of matter, without leaving aside the social and historical construction that makes possible the guarantee of rights to adolescents in conflict with the law. not country.

Assessment of the tax incentive policy in Horizonte, Ceará, Brazil:

Samuel Leite Castelo — 2024-01-08

This study assessed the effects on economic development in Horizonte, Ceará, Brazil, resulting from the tax
incentive policy adopted, within the period from 2010 to 2020. This municipality stands out with one of the
largest gross domestic products (GDP) in the State of Ceará, it is a major industrial hub and a collector of the
tax on the circulation of goods and services (imposto sobre circulação de mercadorias e serviços [ICMS]). In
methodological terms, this research is descriptive, considering the need for bibliographic and documentary
surveys, in addition to other procedures, such as semi-structured interviews with the institutional authors
of the aforementioned policy. The results show positive impacts on the municipal finances, putting it in a
prominent state-level position. It has been observed that incentivized companies contributed a large portion
of the workforce employed in the municipality, with no wage precariousness being observed. And, with the
attraction of companies, there was an increased industrial activity, a drop in the municipal GDP, and decreased
ICMS collection.

On political culture:

Josbertini Virgínio Clementino — 2024-01-08

This article aims to establish a debate on political culture as a theme. To do this, it is divided into two blocks. The first is about resuming the making of political culture as a concept through literature review, bringing propositions, readings, and views by scholars on the subject. The second is about the extensive contribution of Gabriel A. Almond and Sidney Verba to political culture as a theme based on the book The civic culture, regarded as the foundational work in this field of knowledge due to its impact and influence on Political Science; also in this block, criticism and considerations regarding the conceptual and methodological bases launched in the aforementioned book are brought, in addition to brief reflections by Ronald Inglehart and Robert D. Putnam, considered two major second-generation culturalist authors.

External educational assessments and the paradigm of the educating city:

Francilene Torres Dias Bento — 2024-01-08

This article focuses on the proximity and/or distance of Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará, Brazil, from the profile of educating city. The results of two major external educational assessments are analyzed: the Basic Education Development Index (Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica [IDEB]); and the Permanent Basic Education Assessment System of Ceará (Sistema Permanente de Avaliação da Educação Básica do Ceará [SPAECE]). The general objective is to analyze the results from the SPAECE and the IDEB, between 2009 and 2022, verifying what these indicators reveal about the quality of Juazeiro’s education and how they reflect or not this municipality as an educating city. This is a quali-quantitative research, carried out through a bibliographic review and collection of statistical data from the portal IBGE Cidades, the Ceará State Department of Education (Secretaria da Educação do Estado do Ceará [SEDUC-CE]), and the 2022 Demographic Census. It was found that Juazeiro do Norte shows signs of educational potential, however, that the municipal education system needs improvements. Therefore, with regard to getting closer to the profile of an educating city, first the municipality needs to overcome the barriers inherent to learning and basic education quality and, a posteriori, advance in designing policies as an educating city.
