Abstract

This work analyzes the public sports policy in the city of João Pessoa, specifically the public policy of high-performance sports in the capital of Paraíba during the period 2015-2017. It is a policy little discussed, for which this work seeks to make an exploratory, descriptive and qualitative contribution from the point of view of the perspective of politics and public management. This study will address some elements of the neoinstitutionalist approach when analyzing the politics of high-performance sports, seeking to ascertain the existence and effectiveness of institutional elements such as: laws and regulations, management bodies, existence of planning, budgeting and financing mechanisms, the composition of professional teams, and the realization of investments in sports infrastructure for high-performance sports. To fulfill its objectives, this work has an Introduction, and two parts. The first one presents a brief description of the history of national sports policy, exploring descriptively some of the main institutional elements of this policy. The following presents the institutional elements of the policy of high-performance sports in João Pessoa. Finally, the final considerations presents the main conclusions of this work, besides indicating a set of initial recommendations oriented to the improvement of the politics of high-performance sports in the municipality of João Pessoa.
