A busca da capilaridade por meio de parcerias em políticas públicas: a experiência do fundo Amazônia

Abstract

Objective - Understand, using the theories of transactional costs and agency, the process of search for capillarity in public policies. Methodology - Qualitative research using the triangulation strategy. It was used triangulation of techniques for data collection, with documental research, research on archival data and direct observation. For the treatment of the documental data the technique of the content analysis was used and for the archival data were used techniques of descriptive statistics. Results - The results of the research indicate that there is a direct relationship between the existence of transaction costs and institutional change. Moreover, in the case of the Amazon Fund, the most recurrent transaction costs in the reports are those related to complexity, contractual arrangements and monopoly of resources. Finally, it was identified that different models for selection of agglutinating partners influence transaction costs, and agglutinators that were not selected by public call by the BNDES, but who choose their small projects by call for bid, are those that are more cost-effective compared to other selection arrangements. Practical contributions - results help public managers in the decision-making process to choose partner selection models that result in lower costeffectiveness. Social Contributions - A country of continental dimensions as Brazil needs innovative arrangements for capillarity of public policies, especially in regions such as Amazon and for specific beneficiaries. The research results point to some opportunities in this regard. Originality - The study of institutional modeling in public policies and the relationship with theories of transaction costs and agency.
