El federalismo brasileño
Las vicisitudes del Palácio da Alvorada que han ubicado a Brasil en la primera línea de las inquietudes mundiales se enmarcan más allá del diseño moderno que Niemeyer le imprimió en los años 60 de la pasada centuria en un marco que sobre un patrón federal ha evolucionado tratando de unir forma de gobierno y forma territorial de Estado. En el presente trabajo se analizan las claves del federalismo brasileño haciendo un imprescindible repaso histórico de su configuración e incidiendo en los rasgos característicos de esta Federación. Sus elementos estructurales, el complejo diseño competencial que implementa funcionalmente toda Federación, la evolución metajurídica del modelo de la mano de las relaciones intergubernamentales y el aspecto financiero con el que se ha de acompañar todo proyecto federal. Dos ideas matriz han constituido el epicentro de la evolución constitucional de Brasil, democracia y federalismo. La magnitud física y poblacional de este Estado impone mayores exigencias a las fórmulas organizativas que han pugnado por aplicarse en la mitad del subcontinente de América del Sur. Para conocer Brasil, es preciso adentrarnos en su configuración como Estado Federal.
The vicissitudes of the Palácio da Alvorada that have placed Brazil in the forefront of global concerns are framed beyond the modern design that Niemeyer built in the 60s of the last century in a framework that has evolved on a federal pattern trying to unite form of government and territorial form of State. In this paper we analyze the keys of Brazilian federalism making an essential historical review of its configuration and focusing on the characteristic features of this Federation. Its structural elements, the complex competence design that functionally implements every Federation, the metajuridical evolution of the model hand in hand with intergovernmental relations and the financial aspect with which all federal projects must be accompanied. Two matrix ideas have constituted the epicenter of the constitutional evolution of Brazil, democracy and federalism. The physical and population magnitude of this State imposes greater demands on the organizational formulas that have struggled to be applied in the middle of the South American subcontinent. To know Brazil, it is necessary to know its configuration as a Federal State. SummaryI. BRAZILIAN CONSTITUTIONAL POLITICAL EVOLUTION IN A FEDERAL FRAMEWORK. 1.
