Main Article Content
Abstract
The problem that this paper seeks to understand has the following paradox: federalism municipal, derived from the 1988 Constitution, which, in principle, bring the perverse effect of the crisis of the metropolitan administration, because the problems faced, particularly tax and municipalities in financial, ended up to be a zero sum game for the whole federation, and was a factor encouraging the resumption of intercommunal aggregation of the country. This observation demonstrates the resumption of metropolitan management in Brazil, from the late 1990s and first decade of this century. The analysis procedure adopted to demonstrate this problem will be historical-institutional, and basic explanation of the processes of incremental changes observed in the Brazilian metropolitan management.
