Restrições no processo de internacionalização de políticas públicas: estudo de casos no Nordeste brasileiro

Abstract

This article analyzes the constraints faced in the internationalization of public policies in the Northeast of Brazil, focusing on five empirical cases: the Integrated Rural Sanitation System (Ceará), the Citizen Government Program (Rio Grande do Norte), the Paraíba Cotton Project (Paraíba), the Koban Model of Community Policing (Pernambuco), and the State Youth and Children's Orchestra Centers of Bahia (Bahia). Using a methodology that combines semi-structured interviews with public managers and a systematic literature review filtered with the support of NVivo software, the study identifies significant barriers such as the scarcity of financial resources, institutional instability, and structural inequalities that hinder policy implementation and adaptation. By identifying and linking the main implementation obstacles to the international literature, the results provide a foundation for future research to explore more flexible collaborative mechanisms between local and international actors, possibly as a path to overcoming such constraints and enabling more effective policies.
