Management and Organization. It is aimed at establishing systematic approaches to organization theory, a discipline that constitutes a fundamental theoretical axis to understand the processes of change, the structure, the dynamics of decisions, the behavior and the culture of public organizations characterized by high complexity.

Regional and local management. Its purpose is to introduce the issue of government structures and state-society relations, which currently has received more attention at the municipal level of government and its decentralization processes.

Relevant experiences. It opens a place for the review and study of specific cases that yield concrete lessons of success or failure in the practice of managing public policies and organizations.

Positions and Ideas. It is a space for texts that seek to focus attention on current issues regarding the perspectives of public administration.

Case studies for teaching. These are works that deal with issues of public policy, government and public management but whose structure and narrative have the precise objective of being used by teachers as a teaching strategy and theoretical-practical tool in class. That is, they are works written with the idea that, through their discussion in the classroom, professors at the undergraduate or postgraduate level lead an exchange of ideas with their students, developing their analytical skills and critical thinking. In this way, the texts published in this section maintain a clear pedagogical value and are a tool that encourages active and not passive learning.
