Abstract

This article seeks to determine which governmental units (and political values) were favored or disfavored by the model of federalism designed by the 1988 Brazilian Constitution. Four aspects are considered: (a) political structure; (b) distribution of powers; (c) repercussions on democracy; and (d) fiscal federalism. In addition to legal materials, the article presents diagnoses and assessments given in the fields of Political Science and Economy.
