Abstract
This paper presents a model to analyze public policies on their impact in terms of multidimensional development. It is assumed that policies are initiatives toward the social transformation, and that development can give it meaning and direction. The model was designed based on endogenous development and governance approaches, from which we derived two sets of analytical categories. The first, endogeneity, directs its attention toward the agency of local actors who perform the processes and bear the consequences of such policies. Endogeneity was unfolded into three analytical dimensions: equity, sustainability and participation. So, this analytical category allows us to investigate the potentialities of policies to accomplish what justifies their existence: improving social conditions. The second, governance mechanisms, focus on policymaking processes, exploring the manifestation of endogenous character in decision-making, divided into three dimensions of analysis: participation, consensus and shared management. The proposal aims to strengthen policy analysis in Brazil and, thus, to offer a perspective that pays attention to policies based on the results that make them fundamental in our society.
