Regiões Metropolitanas enquanto estratégia de promoção de um federalismo cooperativo no Brasil: potencial e desafios

Abstract

This work understands that the institutional arrangement of metropolitan regions is configured as a strategy to promote cooperative practices among federal entities that make up Brazilian federalism with regard to the management of functions of common interest. It seeks to understand the potential and limits of this institutional arrangement as a territorial collectivity for municipalities that chose to invest in cooperative relationships to solve shared social ills.
