Abstract

This paper seeks to understand the various dimensions of the municipal budget and the relationship of dependence between federative entities. In order to understand how municipalities in the functional metropolis of the RMN behave when they have greater fiscal dependence on other entities in the federation, through intergovernmental transfers, a bibliographical research was carried out on fiscal federalism and also on social policies, to analyze how these policies are impacted by the structural and economic conditions of Brazil, with a greater focus on the local scope of the municipalities in the functional metropolis in the Metropolitan Region of Natal (RMN). The cities analyzed presented a high dependence on resources transferred from other entities, which impacts the public policies financed and planned by the municipality.
