    The fourth article discusses the “Solidarity Economy in Vale do São Francisco: the Relationship between Solidarity Enterprises and Local Power in a Endogenous Development Perspective” (Economia Solidária no Vale do São Francisco: a Relação entre Empreendimentos Solidários e Poder Local na Perspectiva do Desenvolvimento Endógeno), by José Raimundo Cordeiro Neto, from the Universidade Federal do Vale do São Francisco – UNIVASF–, Ariádne Scalfoni Rigo, Universidade Federal da Bahia – UFBA–, and Airton Cardoso Cançado, Universidade Federal do Tocantins – UFT–.

    In the article named Participatory Budget: vision of thepregraduate student in public management (Orçamentoparticipativo: a visão do graduandoemgestãopública), professor Richard Medeiros de Araújo and Jorge Morais Maia, both from the Centro Universitário FACEX – UNIFACEX –in Rio Grande do Norte, closethis 2012 volume by identifying the perception of public management students about the adoption of participatory budget as an effective management technique in Brazilian reality, exposing prospects for training in Public Administration and Social Management.

    Dear reader,

    The journal Public Administration and Social Management - APGS (Administração Pública e Gestão Social – APGS) starts the year of 2012 with various changes, including management and editorial, aiming to achieve the best on scientific papers in the area of the Applied Social Sciences.

    These changes concern the new version (v.2.3.7.0) of the platform SEER/OJS, the new design of the website, which was translated into seven languages and the new presentation format, with the creation of a standardized model for the scientific papers. Moreover, there is a simplification in the editorial process, which aims the efficiency and the quality of scientific papers’ publication. There are, also, more than 330 possibilities to share the journal through interactive tools.

    In this edition, the first paper is called Global Crisis Effect and the Expansion of Brazilian Economy (Efeitos da Crise Mundial e Perspectivas de Expansão da Economia Brasileira), whose author is the professor José Matias Pereira, from the University of Brasilia. Not only it raises a discussion about the challenges that Brazil will have to face in the next year, but it also approaches the need of Public Management planning to deal with the undesirable effects of the crisis.

    The second paper is called Agenda Composition: The Policy Advocacy Method for Public Management Teaching (Formação da Agenda: Método de Policy Advocacy para Ensino de Políticas Públicas), written by Leonardo Secchi, a professor from the University to Develop the State of Santa Catarina (Universidade para o Desenvolvimento do Estado de Santa Catarina – UDESC). It brings the discussion of the experiences acquired from the management course with the application of this method as an educational technology.

    The third paper analyses the accounting standards that can be applied in the Brazilian Public Management against the process of convergence of the international rules. The authors are Jonatas Dutra Sallaber and Ivanice Vendrusco. The former author is a federal worker and the latter is a professor of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul).

    The next paper, called Social Management and Public Policies for the Territorial Development, was written by Alan Ferreira de Freitas e Marcelo Miná Dias, professors from Federal University of Viçosa (Universidade Federal de Viçosa), and Alair Ferreira de Freitas, a Doctor’s Degree Student from Federal University of Minas Gerais (Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais). The study analyses how the territorial approach has interfered in the rural development of public policies along the Doce River in the state of Minas Gerais, in Brazil.

    Finally, the last paper is called Researching Projects: a social intervention strategy from the studies of the organizational action sociology.  It was written by Thiago Pimentel, a professor of Federal University of Juiz de Fora (Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora) and it exposes beyond a positivist view, a way of knowledge production with the social intervention process, through the diffusion and local assimilation during the process, based on research, restitution and intervention.

    We would like to invite you to read the Journal APGS and we expect that you like not only this edition, but also all the others which are coming.

    We hope you enjoy your reading!
