The1988¡¯s Brazilian Federal Constitution treats the municipality as a ¡°federative entity¡± withpolitical, legislative, administrative, and financial autonomy. However, the new institutionaldesign provoked reactions that jeopardized such autonomy, especially the financial one. Inorder to evaluate such reactions, this research analyzed Amendments to the Constitutionthat somehow affected the municipal autonomy over the last 23 years, in which the current Constitution is in force. Statistics on some municipal financial indicators were presented tosituate the impacts of the constitutional reforms. The analysis of the facts suggests that the1990s were marked by an attack to the financial autonomy of the municipalities, which wereconsidered federative entities somewhat committed to the fiscal adjustment in the economiccrisis context. During the following decade, the interfederative cooperation increased, evenwith the expansion of governmental transfers to the Municipalities. Though, problems arisingfrom tripartite federal structures, marked by a strong heterogeneity between Brazilianmunicipalities, still have to be solved.Espa ol El objetivo de este artigo es el de analizar el contexto hist¨® %K Munic¨ªpio %K Autonomia financeira %K Reformas constitucionais %K Finan as municipais %K Federa o brasileira %K Municipality %K Financial autonomy %K Constitutional reforms %K Municipal finances.Brazilian Federation %K Municipio %K Autonom¨ªa financiera %K Reformas constitucionales %K Finanzas municipales %K Federaci¨®n brasile a %U http://www.ipardes.pr.gov.br/ojs/index.php/revistaparanaense/article/view/171/675
