Public policies. Civil society. Covid - 19. Syndemic. Porto Seguro - BA.
The Covid-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus also known as the New Coronavirus, triggered repercussions not restricted to the biological and epidemiological scope, but also promoted social, economic, political and cultural impacts, characterizing it as a problem multidimensional. Thus, in the face of the countless uncertainties brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, a movement of civil society was observed, in the face of the public problem and the necessary responses to face it, providing opportunities for the implementation of public policies, among which sociocentric ones. This work aims to investigate the system of public policies to face the Covid-19 pandemic in the municipality of Porto Seguro from a sociocentric point of view. Rosana Boullosa's (2013) theory of Looking Upside Down will be used as a reference. This is a study with a qualitative approach, through a case study, having as subjects, social actors, who developed actions related to the confrontation of Covid-19 in Porto Seguro, during the period of 2020 and 2021. data, primary data will be used, obtained through semi-structured interviews, which will be analyzed according to the Discursive Analysis (DA). This research aims to contribute to the pluralization of the field of public policies, through the recognition of the action of multiple social actors, who potentially contribute to a flow of public policies.
