To this, brings some subsidies on the possibilities of centralization and decentralization movements from the movement of reform of the state, focusing the difficulties from a Brazilian context marked by heterogeneities and social inequalities and economic policies, guided primarily on considerations of Souza and Carvalho (1997) and Arretche (1997).
