The management of social policies in the urban periphery. An attempt to establish an explanatory model

Abstract

This analysis investigates the performance of social partners in fulfilling the economic and social rights of individuals living in urban peripheries in large Brazilian cities in the early twenty-first century. To analyze the changes in the scenario of these rights between 2000 and 2010 in urban peripheral neighborhoods, three case studies were carried out in suburbs of Salvador and Recife. The research was conducted by observing the performance of the three key social stakeholders -societal organizations, the State and the market- in policies and projects for the enjoyment of economic and social rights by locals. Thus, based on the tri-sector partnership model, this study proposes a new variation in the performance of these three actors to favour increased enjoyment of economic and social rights in urban neighborhoods through public policies: the Community tri-sector partnership.
