      Abstract

      This article analyzes the Brazilian fiscal federalism from the Old
      Republic to the first years of the 21st century. It stresses three time periods. The
      first, until the beginning of the sixties, is marked by the constitution of a base
      industry and of a mass internal market. The second runs under an industrial
      dynamics associated with the authoritarian regime. The third begins with the transition towards democracy consolidation. Besides the complex subject of the
      used division of stages, the article shows the predominance of non cooperatives
      federative relations between the Brazilian states, road-of-rule, with very little
      coordination degree. Meanwhile, the validity of a tradition local of the states
      interrupted during good part of the authoritarian regime and, more recently,
      weakened by a process of fiscal decentralization. The article concludes questioning
      the capacity of the State and of the federated beings of assisting to the social
      demands in an atmosphere through the new social actors existence.
