Em Balanço da Reforma do Estado no Brasil: A Nova Gestão Pública, Brasilia: MP/Seges, 2002: 29-35. Intervention in seminar organized by the Secretaria da Gestão, Brasilia, August 2002
In this paper I shortly evaluate the 1995 Public Management Reform in Brazil, underline that its major objective was to build state capacity, and remark that states became more strategic (not less) in globalization, because this international system may be defined as the one where business enterprises compete at world level backed by their respective national states.
