English to Portuguese: Governance General field: Law/Patents Detailed field: Law (general)
Source text - English What is “governance”?
The term governance often gives rise to confusion because it is (erroneously) assumed that it must refer solely to acts or duties of the government.
Of course, governments do play an important role in many kinds of governance.
However, in fact, the concept is far broader, and extends beyond merely the State.
For example, we have seen increasing reference recently to the notion of “corporate governance”, a process that involves oversight both by the State and by a host of non-State bodies, including corporations themselves.
Don McLean points out that the word governance derives from the Latin word “gubernare”, which refers to the action of steering a ship.
This etymology suggests a broader definition for governance.
One important implication of this broader view is that governance includes multiple tools and mechanisms.
Traditional law and policy are certainly among those mechanisms.
However, as we shall see throughout this primer, governance can take place through many other channels.
Technology, social norms, decision-making procedures, and institutional design: all of these are as equally important in governance as law or policy.
Translation - Portuguese O que é "governança"?
O termo governança frequentemente é motivo de confusão porque erroneamente assume-se que ele deve se referir somente a atos ou deveres do governo.
É claro que governos desempenham um importante papel em vários tipos de governança.
Mas, na verdade, o conceito é muito mais amplo e vai muito além do mero Estado.
Por exemplo, temos visto recentemente uma crescente referência à noção de "governança corporativa", um processo que envolve a supervisão tanto do Estado quanto de uma série de órgãos não estatais, incluindo as próprias corporações.
Don McLean ressalta que a palavra governança deriva do Latim "gubernare", que se refere à ação de comandar um navio.
Essa etimologia sugere uma definição mais ampla para governança.
Uma implicação importante dessa visão mais ampla é que governança inclui múltiplas ferramentas e mecanismos.
O Direito tradicional e políticas públicas certamente estão entre esses mecanismos.
No entanto, como veremos ao longo desta cartilha, a governança pode se dar por inúmeros outros canais.
A tecnologia, as normas sociais, os procedimentos decisórios e o desenho institucional são tão importantes na governança quanto a lei ou as políticas do governo.
