Relações federativas de poderuma análise histórico-comparativa do Brasil

Resumo

This thesis follows the three-article model, having as its background power relations within the federations. The first article talks to the literature on federalism from the perspective of vertical power relations, with a view to understanding the relations between various levels of power. Although there is already a large body of literature on the theme, the theoretical gap of the first article consists of power rearrangements (centralization and decentralization), considering all players and not just this relation between central government and subnational governments. The second article is a reflection on horizontal power relations at the state level, with the following guiding question: “What are the causal conditions that lead some states to have increased political power before their peers?” To do this, two empirical cases of great representativeness were selected: Brazil and the United States of America (USA), analyzed since their independence having the path dependence literature as a basis, considering only causal conditions at the macro level. The third article is also inserted in the horizontal power relations, nevertheless, its analysis field consists in the Brazilian municipalities. The latter have great contemporary relevance, due to their key role in the execution of public policies.
