| Summary: | This article aims to analyze the financial capacity of the fluminense municipalities in the context of decentralization of public policies. Decentralization
is seen as one of the strategies of the state reform, adjusting itself to the context of redemocratization of the structures of power, and also the globalization
of markets and fiscal crisis of the 1980 decade. In Brazil, decentralization took
impulse with the Constitution of 1988, when the municipality came to be
considered as a “federal entity”. But one requirement, though insufficient, for
the success of local governments strengthening, is a growing financial autonomy, allowing it to finance investments of local interest. The study concluded that there has been no increase in municipal investments, except in the
case of those municipalities which receive oil revenues. It points out, moreover, to the growing commitment of the revenue with the municipal social
policies, especially on health. |
