Gestão municipal no Brasil: um retrato das prefeituras.

Abstract

This book is part of the Research Networks Support Program (ProRedes), whose objective is to integrate actions and research in thematic areas defined in the planning Ipea's strategic strategy, with an emphasis on applying results focused on sustainability of Brazilian social and economic development. This program seeks to improve Ipea's exchange with similar national and international institutions, encouraging the exchange of knowledge and experiences. Within the scope of ProRedes, a research network formed in cooperation between Ipea and institutions participating in the Ipea/National Association of Planning, Research and Statistics Institutions (Anipes). The rich experience of networking, with permanent exchange of experiences and knowledge among researchers at the institutions, allowed a product of higher quality than would be obtained by the participants alone. The whole exceeded the sum of its parts. The result of this process is expected to contribute for debates on the paths to national development.
