O setor de saneamento no Brasil tem sido palco hegemônico de abordagens tecnocêntricas, restringindo visões globalizantes que vislumbrem a multidimensionalidade do tema e a necessidade de articulações intersetoriais. Parte-se da premissa de que essas dificuldades encontram raízes na história do setor, que impõe seu legado por meio da sua inércia e resiliência. Para desenvolver o argumento, é conceituada a multidimensionalidade do saneamento, como área de conhecimento e setor das políticas públicas. Em seguida, analisa-se o processo de construção da política pública de saneamento do período Lula (2003-2010), buscando uma visão histórica de estruturas e instituições, com base nos processos de negociação relacionados a essa política setorial. Analisa-se o Plano Nacional de Saneamento Básico, como oportunidade para um novo patamar da política setorial, a partir da perspectiva da intersetorialidade. O artigo conclui-se com a tentativa de identificar os principais desafios para uma nova política, em que a intersetorialidade seja seu marco referencial. Palavras-chave: saneamento; intersetorialidade; plano nacional; água; esgotos; política pública. Abstract: Hegemonic techno-centric approaches dominate the water and sanitation sector in Brazil, restricting globalizing visions, the understanding of it multidimensionality and the need for intersectoral links. The premise that these difficulties are rooted in the history of the sector, imposing a legacy through inertia and resilience, guides the analysis performed in the article. To develop the argument, we conceptualize the multidimensionality of water and sanitation subject as an area of knowledge and a sector of the public policies. Then, we analyze the policy reform in the Lula period (2003-2010), based on a historical overview of structures and institutions as well as on negotiation processes related to the sector´s policies. We analyze the Plano Nacional de Saneamento Básico (National Plan of Basic Sanitation) as an opportunity for a higher standard of water and sanitation policy, from the perspective of intersectoral articulations. The article concludes with an attempt to identify the main challenges for a new policy, in which intersectoral articulations would be the main framework. Keywords: intersectoral linkages; national plan; water; sanitation; public policy.

In recent years, the structural changes in global manufacturing and the economic crisis have sparked renewed interest in the role of manufacturing sector in driving economic development. Based on data from the World Input–Output Database (WIOD), this article uses network analysis (NA) to describe and compare inter-sectoral linkages between manufacturing and other sectors in two national economies, Italy and China, characterized by different stages of industrialization. The main metrics of the networks identified (at both node and network level) are discussed from an economic perspective. Besides confirming that manufacturing still has a fundamental role as the main source of demand for other economic activities in both countries, results highlight some fundamental differences in the structural characteristics of inter-sectoral linkages between China and Italy. Our exploratory analysis provides policymakers a complementary framework to illustrate backward and forward linkage effects, as well as potential knowledge and technology flows between industries.

I was asked to make the presentation this paper is based on1 following the collaboration between La Trobe University and Health Care Aotearoa over several years. La Trobe is the home of the Quality Improvement Council, of which Health Care Aotearoa is a member. That Council has been one of the international partners who have given validation and inspiration for us in Aotearoa/New Zealand in the field of community-based primary health care. My own background, as a Methodist minister for 20 years, followed a life-transforming year as an 18-year-old volunteer in Sarawak in 1969, and exposure internationally to struggles for social justice. In recent years I have become more directly involved in political engagement, at both the local body and national level, as an expression of my understanding of community development and health. I am Chairman of one of New Zealand?s 21 District Health Boards and am relishing the opportunity to lead a regional health organisation as it builds intersectoral linkages, embraces excellence in the delivery of health services, and addresses issues of disparities in health outcomes. I continue to be involved in national leadership of a number of non-government organisations (NGOs), and am taking a leading role in building a new national entity that can encompass the whole non-government organisation sector in New Zealand. All this work arises directly from the experiences and insights described in this paper.
