A internacionalização do modelo dos Parques Bibliotecas de Medellín para o Recife e o papel do embaixador de políticas: um estudo de caso sobre o Compaz

Abstract

The globalization creates opportunities for public policies (PP) to be internationalized, meaning they overflow and extend beyond national borders. The actions of policy ambassadors and their coordination among different political institutions, as well as with other national and international actors, are crucial for the process of policy travel. In this regard, the present work aims to address the internationalization process of the Medellín Library Parks model to Recife through Compaz. To achieve this goal, it is also necessary to discuss the role of policy ambassadors and contextualize their actions in the analyzed case. Through a literature review, we sought to build a solid theoretical framework on public policies, their internationalization, and the role of policy ambassadors. We discuss the Medellín Library Parks model, which served as a learning experience for the formulation of Community Peace Centers in Recife and the chosen unit for the study, Compaz Governor Eduardo Campos. We analyze the journey of the Colombian model to Recife, with a special focus on the role of the Secretary of Citizen Security, Murilo Cavalcanti. Throughout the work, we highlight Murilo's significant role in the process of importing Colombian public policy, which closely resembles the role of a policy ambassador. The results of the study suggest the possibility that the Library Parks model underwent a form of international diffusion, with public officials in Recife learning from Medellín through networking and social construction mechanisms, emulating the policy in view of the adaptation made, and transmitting knowledge that was converted into municipal public policy.
