Der Oberste Bundesgerichtshof Brasiliens hat zwischen August und November 2012 insgesamt 25 Politiker und Wirtschaftsführer wegen Korruption und anderen kriminellen Machenschaften zu teils drastischen Gefängnisstrafen und Geldbußen verurteilt. Das Urteil gilt als eine historische Zäsur mit weitreichenden Folgen für Brasiliens Demokratie.
 
 
 Monatliche Zahlungen (mensalão) an Abgeordnete sicherten Expräsident Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva am Beginn seiner ersten Amtszeit (2003-2005) die notwendigen parlamentarischen Mehrheiten. Dies mag moralisch verwerflich sein, erklärt sich aber aus der großen Fragmentierung des brasilianischen Parlaments. Obwohl der Präsident in der Verfassung mit einer großen Machtfülle ausgestattet ist, muss er sich im Alltag für die Umsetzung seiner Agenda durch einen dauernden Balanceakt Mehrheiten sichern und eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Interessen ausgleichen.
 
 Die Aufarbeitung des Mensalão-Skandals und die hier zutage getretene Unabhängigkeit des Obersten Bundesgerichtshofes sind ein Beweis für die fortschreitende Konsolidierung der brasilianischen Demokratie.
 
 Weder die Regierungspartei Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) noch der ehemalige Präsident Lula da Silva hatten Einfluss auf die Entscheidungen der Obersten Bundesrichter.
 
 Zumindest bisher hat der Skandal das Ansehen des ehemaligen Präsidenten selbst nicht in Mitleidenschaft gezogen. Er gilt nicht zuletzt wegen seiner beispiellosen Sozial- und Armutsbekämpfungspolitik als einer der erfolgreichsten und beliebtesten Präsidenten in der Geschichte Brasiliens.
 
 Ungeklärt bleibt, inwieweit Lula da Silva selbst in den Skandal eingeweiht war.Date

Health Systems Analysis for Better Health System StrengtheningBitran, Ricardo; Berman, Peter (2013-05-28)Health system strengthening and reform
 are often necessary actions to achieve better outcomes. The
 World Bank's 2007 strategy for health, nutrition, and
 population emphasizes the importance of health system
 strengthening for results. This paper proposes 'health
 systems analysis' as a distinct methodology that should
 be developed and practiced in the design of policies and
 programs for health system strengthening. It identifies key
 elements of health systems analysis and situates them in a
 logical framework supported by a wide range of data and
 methods and a sizable global literature. Health systems
 analysis includes evidence on health system inputs,
 processes, and outputs and the analysis of how these combine
 to produce the outcomes. It considers politics, history, and
 institutional arrangements. Health systems analysis proposes
 causes of poor health system performance and suggests how
 reform policies and strengthening strategies can improve
 performance. It contributes to implementation and
 evaluation. Examples from Mexico, Ethiopia, and Turkey
 illustrate the positive contributions health systems
 analysis has made to development of successful health system
 strengthening policies. Health systems analysis should be an
 integral part of good practice in health system
 strengthening efforts, including planning, policy
 development, monitoring, and evaluation. Health systems
 analysis can be conceived in a coherent and logical fashion
 and can be practiced and improved.

Bolivia - Del padrinazgo al Estado profesional - analisis de la situacion institucional y de gobernalidad en BoliviaWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2013-08-08)The study, an institutional, and governance review of Bolivia, describes the transformation of the country's political economy as of the 1980s, the aim for consistent macroeconomic stability, and, the consolidation of the democratic political regime. However, despite a number of bold reforms to develop market-oriented systems, and in contrast with government efforts, the quality of public services remained low. Namely, because public sector reforms were not implemented, and because of symptomatic institutional weaknesses; for although assistance was provided to modernize the civil service, and improve public administration, the lack of government commitment to a changing program focus, precluded noticeable results. The current reform agenda has identified the need for state modernization, governance and accountability, and judicial reform, addressed within the National Integrity Plan, to combat corruption, and other symptoms of public sector dysfunction. The study presents a blunt vision of Bolivian public administration, through the absence of a functioning bureaucracy, reviewing the legal framework and organizational structure, with an emphasis on the "informality" of public administration, - a challenge for institutional development. But the deeper causes of poor public sector performance, lie on the patrimonial dynamics of party politics. Recommendations include parallel advances between public, and market sector reforms, reliable external controls, and strengthened capacity of the public sector.
