- Social policies in Brazil: decentralization in a Federal State Marta Arretche Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) Federalism Social Policies Decentralization Regional inequalities This paper analyzes the decentralization process of the Brazilian System of Social Protection, identifying its extension and variation, as well as the determining factors of its current state. The object of analysis is the decentralization of five social policies ? public health, education, sanitation, housing and social welfare ? in six Brazilian States: Rio Grande do Sul, Paraná, São Paulo, Bahia, Pernambuco and Ceará. The work considers the importance of the following factors in determining the extension and the variation of decentralization: (a) the structural characteristics of local governments ? economic, fiscal and administrative capabilities ?; (b) the institutional characteristics of the policies ? constitutional rules, operational mechanisms of service delivery and the legacy of earlier policies ? and, (c) variables related to political action ?State and society relations and intergovernmental relations. 1999 artículo científico 0102-6909 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=10704009 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=107 Revista Brasileira de Ciências Sociais application/pdf Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Ciências Sociais Revista Brasileira de Ciências Sociais (Brasil) Num.40 Vol.14
