Between new public management (npm) and postnpm: govtechs of documental management at the perspective of the fundamental right to acess to information

Abstract

This paper examines the parameters of the fundamental right of access to information in govtechs. Furthermore,
its hypothesis is that this right should be a top priority of the
Brazilian government when there are partnerships between it and
govtechs. Moreover, this research understands that regulatory
mechanisms should be used to intervene in cases of violation of
these rights. This study utilizes the hypothetical-deductive method with the qualitative approach and the bibliographic-documentary research technique. This research finds, firstly, that govtechs
can be understood, in Brazil, from the context of a new form
of transition between new public management (NPM) and postNPM. Therefore, assumptions of complete transfers of public
services are false because it does not sell but pursuits partnerships with the public sector, whilst maintaining characteristics
of their own sector (although there is still a significant legacy
of NPM in Brazil, given that the proposed managerialism underpinned extensive privatization and privatization processes,
to the extent that post-NPM initiatives work in an ambiguous
scenario). Furthermore, the link between private initiative and
public administration within the scope of govtechs requires that
the fundamental right of access to information be respected and
promoted from a normative and regulatory framework, as well
be the promise of these companies. Therefore, the application of
the right of access to information to document management govtechs is important, and this paper understands that most modern
management systems contribute to the effectiveness of this right.
