Abstract

Abstract We argue that state-level regulatory regimes expand territorial presence and strengthen the operation of participatory policy councils in municipalities under their jurisdiction. We examine three policy areas that correspond to types of councils with known patterns of territorial diffusion and decision-making types driven by federal regulation: Heritage, Environment, and Social Assistance. They are explored through separate regression models by area. The results confirm the hypotheses presented. The expected effects of regulatory regimes on councils occur with greater intensity in councils that are less regulated by the federal government. However, the results also suggest that such a relationship is stronger for councils with either low or high federal regulation but weakens for those in intermediate positions. In these cases, local factors specific to municipalities, such as size, social actors pressure, or technical-administrative capacities, also become relevant. (AU)
