O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma revisão crítica da literatura sobre os Estudos de Implementação de Políticas Públicas, de forma a contribuir para o desenvolvimento desta disciplina em Portugal. A relevância desta análise decorre de a implementação ser ainda pouco estudada no país, sobretudo numa vertente processual, mesmo sendo frequentemente apontada como das principais lacunas da governação pública nacional. O artigo começa por analisar os principais contributos das diferentes gerações de estudos e dos desenvolvimentos recentes da disciplina, concluindo com algumas pistas sobre como desenvolver investigação nesta área disciplinar.
Although Italy and Portugal are considered to be part of the same welfare state family – the Southern European one – analysis of a key component of the welfare state, namely, unemployment policies and regulations, reveals a different evaluation. A comparative analysis of a series of specific indicators of Italian and Portuguese unemployment regimes shows that they represent two different models. Portugal appears to be a more inclusive system, closer to continental or Northern European countries than it is to Italy, or at least representing a hybrid system that combines characteristics of continental European welfare states with characteristics that are more typical of Southern European welfare states. Italy, on the contrary, is much more clearly a Southern European welfare state.
