Política Pública Municipal: uma análise sobre a inserção da Guarda Municipal na agenda governamental da cidade de Juiz de Fora

Abstract

The main objective of this research work, a study of political agenda setting, is to analyze how public security issues became important and politically significant, making Municipal Civil Guard be part of Juiz de Fora political agenda during Carlos Alberto Bejani’s mandate. This work aims to investigate if the inclusion of Municipal Civil Guard in the city’s political agenda was motivated by the lack of treatment or solution for a social problem recognized as a collectively relevant challenge, or if this action was motivated by symbolic purposes. In other words, it aims to discuss if this political necessity arose freely in the community or if the local government created conditions to produce this necessity in order to show that strategies to solve the problem were being developed.
