SUMMARY:

Changes in the path of consolidation and deepening of the decentralization process concern both the establishment of new boundaries of competence for the three levels of government and the resizing of the regime for sharing national revenues between the union, states and municipalities. The subnational governments, especially local governments, have assumed an increasingly important role in terms of accountability for the delivery of public services. Given the widely verified reality of transfer and incorporation by municipal entities of a varied set of attributions and given that, in addition and to a certain extent, this context of municipal accountability is supported, regardless of the level of sufficiency, by an increase in the fiscal structure of the municipalities, how – on the other hand – has the capacity of these entities evolved to deliver results in the face of the demands of Brazilian society? In this sense, we consider privileged - from the point of view of the intensity and proximity of relations between government and society - the space for carrying out municipal public management in relation to the possibility of research on the theme of state capacities and performance of municipal public management, themes central to the thesis. The phenomenon we want to investigate intertwines the theme of state capacities and that of public management performance. A starting question bases the development of this investigation: To what extent governmental capacities influence the performance of public management in small municipalities? The hypothesis that we will test in this thesis is based on the argument that the political and institutional dimensions (GRINDLE, 1996; GRIN, 1997) are the components of state capacities on which the good performance of public management in the smallest municipalities depends. The objective of this thesis is, therefore, to understand to what extent state capacities influence the performance of public management in small local governments? In this study, the specific objectives were established from the cross-interpretation of constructs that structure the themes of state capacities and municipal management performance. The specific objectives proposed are: i. list a set of state and institutional resources available to local governments; ii. to trace a general pattern of behavior for Brazilian municipalities regarding aspects of state capacities; iii. to compare the result of interactions in the set of state capabilities between different local government strata and; iv. synthesize particularities regarding the way in which state capacities operate in the smallest municipalities. The plot to be woven in this thesis associates the theoretical-analytical categories defined as “state capabilities” and “governmental performance”. For the purpose of demarcating the unit of analysis, this research is dedicated to understanding the constraints on the performance of public management in the context of the realities in which the smallest municipalities in the Brazilian federation are inscribed (micro-municipalities with up to 10,188 inhabitants). Our study will have as a background the “Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar” (PNAE), a public policy to promote food and nutrition security that has been in existence for the longest time in the Brazilian national scenario and is, worldwide, one of the largest and most universalizing programs of school meals (PEIXINHO, 2013). Its regularity is an aspect that enables the aggregation of databases and, therefore, robust research processes. Methodologically, this is a study of a quantitative nature and with a census scope. Data on the total of the 2,513 smallest Brazilian municipalities were extracted from “Munic” (IBGE) and from the database of the National Fund for the Development of Education (FNDE). To verify the univariate and multivariate influence of the variables included in the preliminary analytical model, we used the GEE (Generalized Equations Estimating) method (LIANG; ZEGER, 1986), a way to account for the existing correlation between repeated measures of the same observational units. The software used in the analyzes was "R" (version 4.0.2). Partial results present information that confirm the hypothesis in which the political and institutional dimensions exert greater influence on the quality of municipal public management performance in micro-municipalities.
