Local policy innovation is a distinct feature in the arena of public administration in China. Previous researches concerned with local policy innovation experience and policy introduction, but they pay little attention to the failure of policy innovations and their termination. This paper uses the theory and concept of public policy process to analyze the reasons for the quick termination process and its mechanism taking healthcare policy as a case study in Chongqing city. It concludes that relative policy strategy is closed in decision-making. The strategy of some special policy target groups as well as the mutual agitation between public and media agenda are the main reasons for the rap-id end of policy innovation. This study is helpful to understand the factors and logic mechanism of the quick termina-tion of local policy innovation as a special type of public policy change which is termed as short-lived and make more scientific healthcare policy decision making and reform in China.

Considerações sobre a acessibilidade nos Centros de Atenção Psicossocial no Brasil / Considerations regarding access to Community Psychosocial Centers in Brazil

ResumoO objeto do artigo é a análise da implantação dos serviços comunitários no contexto regional. O artigo descreve o padrão de acesso aos Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS II) no Estado do Rio de Janeiro na atual década. A partir dos resultados de um inquérito transversal foram identificadas diferentes categoriais de usuários dos serviços comunitários. O artigo recorre ao modelo teórico do isomorfismo organizacional para problematizar a condição de implantação em diferentes contextos municipais. O artigo demonstra que, independente do contexto local, é bastante discrepante a escala de responsabilização dos novos serviços com os usuários, especialmente aqueles saídos de internações de longa permanência ou ainda internados. Conclui que a análise de diferentes categorias de utilização permite problematizar as barreiras de acesso aos serviços comunitários. A identificação destas aos CAPS II pode contribuir para a reflexão crítica sobre a política de saúde mental brasileira atual.

AbstractThe scope of this article is to analyze the implementation of community mental health services in the regional context in Brazil. The article describes the issue of access to community psychosocial centers (CAPS II) in the State of Rio de Janeiro in this decade. By means of a cross-sectional survey, different categories of users of community services were identified. The theoretical models of organizational isomorphism and innovation and diffusion of policies were applied to discuss the adoption and development of community mental health services in different municipal contexts. The article highlights the fact that, irrespective of the local context, there is a considerable discrepancy between the scale of commitment of community mental health to new patient services, especially for those coming out of long-stay hospitalizations or who are still hospitalized. It concludes that the analysis of different categories of users makes it possible to study the problem of barriers of access to community services. The identification of barriers to access CAPS II can contribute to a critical reflection on the current Brazilian mental health policy.

The role of the state in public health policies: an overview of the debate on the concept of state and the brazilian case / O papel do estado nas políticas públicas de saúde: um panorama sobre o debate do conceito de estado e o caso brasileiro

This article is the result of a narrative literature review. The objective is to show the development of an overview on the ideological debate on the design of state health policies. We argue that the role of the state in the development of health policy, even under the pressure of the global market, may create alternatives to promote and drive economic and social development, meaning they are not subject to economic constraints imposed by the liberal ideal of market. Here is a part of a theoretical discussion about the construction and presence of the State in Latin America, particularly in Brazil. We take the approaches of the Marxist tradition and liberal to the issue as reference. This discussion allows us to understand the historical role of the state in the maintenance of social policies, specifically health, is an alternative to public control eases the intense capital mobility promoted by economic globalization. In this sense, the theme makes the Brazilian health an important issue of social sciences, why is the historicity of the construction of the Brazilian health system, as a public policy that can mirror the actual reconstruction of the institutional framework of the Brazilian state with the establishment instances of negotiation between the various spheres of power that strengthen the state in this process of democratization of Brazilian society.

Este artigo é resultado de uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa, visando o desenvolvimento de um panorama acerca do debate ideológico sobre a concepção de Estado nas políticas de saúde. Nele, argumentamos que o papel do Estado brasileiro no desenvolvimento da política de saúde, mesmo sob a pressão do mercado globalizado, pode criar alternativas para promover e direcionar o desenvolvimento econômico e social, e que isso não significa submeter-se às restrições econômicas impostas pelo ideal liberal de mercado. Apresentamos parte de uma discussão teórica acerca da construção e presença do Estado na América Latina e, particularmente, no Brasil, tomando como referências as abordagens da tradição marxista e da liberal sobre a questão. Essa discussão permite-nos entender que o papel histórico do Estado na manutenção de políticas públicas sociais, especificamente as de saúde, é uma alternativa para que o controle público amenize a intensa mobilidade de capital promovida pela globalização econômica. Nesse sentido, o tema torna a saúde nacional uma questão importante das Ciências Sociais, por que é na historicidade da construção do sistema de saúde brasileiro, como política pública, que se pode espelhar a própria reconstrução do arcabouço institucional do Estado brasileiro, com a instauração de instâncias de negociação entre as diversas esferas de poder que fortalecem esse mesmo Estado no processo de redemocratização da sociedade brasileira.
