Versa este texto científico sobre a realidade do princípio da eficiência no Direito Administrativo brasileiro, desde a sua inserção na Carta da República em vigor (artigo 37, caput). Neste sentido, o artigo que aqui se resume é denunciativo do fato de que a eficiência administrativa, como promessa constitucional, não se concretizou na Administração Pública do país, em nenhum dos seus níveis, e dificilmente se efetivará por conta da densa nuvem de dúvidas que tem provocado tanto no Poder Executivo quanto no Judiciário, e isso nada – ou muito pouco – tem a ver com corrupção. É indubitável que, na Administração Pública da atualidade, a atuação dos agentes deveria se adaptar à complexidade dos interesses da coletividade, que são multifacetados e mutantes. Objetiva o trabalho aqui publicado apontar os problemas e as soluções naquilo que se refere à eficiência administrativa do hoje para que se emoldure um real sistema em que seja de renovada percepção a eficiência do amanhã. Para tanto, a pesquisa foi levada a cabo mediante abordagem dedutiva e revisão bibliográfica e documental.

Purpose: Treating Active Citizenship as a sum of behavioral indicators requires certain prerequisites that can be difficult to meet in practice (e.g. structural validity and measurement invariance). We explore a different approach, in which we treat Active Citizenship as a categorical, rather than a linear, construct. Design: Based on longitudinal data from eight European countries, we discovered the patterns’ structure based on the first-year data and then replicated the analysis on the second-year sample to confirm it. Next, we explored the change between the years and its’ trajectories. We compared countries profiles and their change. Finally, we used multinomial logistic regression to explore the most common trajectories. Findings: We describe six patterns: fighter, activist, volunteer, backer, online and indifferent. The pattern structure is replicable and 41.8% of respondents preserve their pattern. For those respondents who changed their pattern, we identified political interest, religiosity, gender and age as the main factors behind this change. Research implications: The study contributes to the understanding of youth Active Citizenship and the factors that support and promote it.

This paper considers the role of conflict (its constitutive relevance or erasure) in the concepts and practices of democracy and citizenship. Critically reflecting on contexts of formal and non-formal political education, and on the observed practices and discourse of relevant educational actors, we intend to interrogate the school’s conceptions, misconceptions and/or contradictions around democracy and political participation. Focusing on the arguments surrounding the perspectives oriented towards consensus vs. those embracing dissensus in social and political theories, this article considers the implicit and explicit powers existent or generated in school relationships, which inevitably affect our ways of looking at citizenship and of educating politically Cet article prétend aborder le rôle du conflit (du point de vue de sa pertinence constitutive ou de son effacement) dans des conceptions et des pratiques de la démocratie ou citoyenneté. Sur la base d’une réflexion critique touchant aux concepts d’éducation politique formelle ou non-formelle, ainsi qu’aux pratiques et discours d’agents centraux de l’action éducationnelle qui ont pu être observés, nous prétendons identifier des concepts, malentendus et/ou contradictions ayant trait aux concepts de démocratie et de participation politique. En examinant les perspectives visant à atteindre un consensus opposées à l’ampleur des divergences au coeur des théories politiques et sociales, cet article se focalise sur des pouvoirs implicites ou explicites, présentifiés ou générés dans des relations scolaires, qui affectent inévitablement notre manière d’envisager la citoyenneté, ainsi que l’action d’éduquer politiquement.
