| contents | Strategic Behavior in a Coalition-Based Presidential System: Executive-Legislative Relations in the Budgetary Process in Brazil Bernardo Mueller Carlos Pereira Sociología Brazil executive coalition legislative budgetary process In Brazil the executive has exclusive rights to initiate the annual budget.Legislators have the right to amend the bill; but only if those amendments arecompatible with the multi-year budget plan elaborated by the executive aswell as with the law on budgetary guidelines. Moreover, congress may notauthorize expenditures that exceed the budgetary revenue. It is also theexecutive, who is entitled to determine which amendment will really beappropriated, as the appropriation is contingent on the availability ofresources in the national treasury. This paper argues that those rules not onlyrestrict congressional action, but also enable the president to preserve at lowcosts its coalition inside Congress. It shows strong evidence that the BrazilianPresident rewards those legislators who most vote for his interests byexecuting their individual amendments to the annual budget and, equally,punishes those who vote less by not executing their individual amendments. 2002 artículo científico 0011-5258 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=21845204 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=218 Dados - Revista de Ciências Sociais application/pdf Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Dados - Revista de Ciências Sociais (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.45 |
