Abstract

The objective of this paper is to comprehend how the relation between federative entities are formed in the state of Paraná, based on the distribution of public resources, constructing a
complemetary system in order to safeguard social rights. Therefore, initially, the applied notion of fiscal federalism is approached. Then, the characteristics of the brazilian structure are presented. In sequence, the deconcentration process post-1988 Federal Constitution is discussed, with particular attention to Paraná. After this, the state’s budget structure and expenditure profile is analyzed, with emphasis on education, healthcare and welfare. The same is done to the state’s municipalities. The final considerations highlight the challenge of coordination between public policies in order to confront regional inequalities.
