          Abstract

          The objective of this paper is to present a literature review about public policy evaluation, with specific reference to privatisation. The basic research goal - still in process - is to evaluate the purpose and reach of public policy objectives relating to privatisation, particularly in relation to their socio-economic outcomes at regional and community levels. In order to achieve this objective, the author discusses some approaches to privatisation produces in United Kingdom over the last ten years. Indeed, she presents some key concepts that underline her reflections and submits some key methodologies about researching public policy evaluation. Finally, the author presents the gap in this theoretical framework discussing that public policy evaluation does not contemplate the social environment in which this policy should be directed. In this way, she proposes further research that will contribute to improving state of the art about public policy evaluation.

          Translated abstract

          O objetivo desse artigo é apresentar uma revisão de literatura acerca do tema avaliação de políticas públicas, numa referência específica à privatização. O objetivo básico da pesquisa, ainda em andamento, é avaliar a proposta e o alcance de políticas públicas relacionadas com a privatização, particularmente em relação aos seus resultados sócio-econômicos em nível comunitário e regional. Com esse objetivo, a autora comenta algumas abordagens produzidas na Grã-Bretanha nos últimos dez anos. Além disso, apresenta alguns conceitos-chaves que sublinham as suas reflexões e comenta metodologias-chaves sobre avaliação de políticas públicas. Finalmente, a autora apresenta o hiato existente neste arcabouço teórico, defendendo a idéia de que ele não contempla o ambiente social no qual a política deveria ser direcionada. Deste modo, é proposta uma pesquisa posterior, que poderá contribuir para o estado da arte da avaliação de políticas públicas.
