Governança corporativa: uma análise da aplicabilidade dos seus conceitos na administração pública

Abstract

The present study, theoretical in nature, is intended to investigate the applicability of the corporative governance concepts in public administration, given the current context, which demands efficiency, responsibility, ethics, transparency and income statement. So, a theoretical review ruled by the pillars and principles of good corporative governance and public governance practices was constructed. It is known that, in Brazil, since the Colonial Period, coexisted a range of contrary factors to the principles of public governance, such as: patrimonialism, clientelism, personalism, inefficiency in government spending, corruption, centralization of power, corporativism, excess of bureaucracy, among others. The study shows that these practices have been gradually overcome and new administrative parameters, which indicate closeness to the good practices of governance, having been introduced into the Brazilian public administration. However, it is still perceived to be distant from a model of a State both fair and transparent. The discussions presented in this study stood out that the model of public administration in Brazil are still impregnated with setbacks, improprieties and blameworthy behaviors, which need to be overcome to the light of the governance principles.
