GRANATO, Leonardo. ARGENTINIAN FEDERALISM AND DECENTRALIZATION: ITS IMPLICATIONS IN THE FORMULATION OF PUBLIC POLICIES. Prolegómenos [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.36, pp.117-134. ISSN 0121-182X.  https://doi.org/10.18359/dere.937.

This paper aims to analyze and discuss the specifics of the Argentinian federalism and its implications in the formulation of public policies in the country. A historical overview will be made starting at the aftermath of the May Revolution of 1810, when Argentina consolidated itself as a sovereign nation, to the present, describing the main features of the formation of the federal state. Later, we will discuss what we call the "formal federalism", including legal, fiscal and decentralization issues, and finally, the "political federalism", whose purpose is to provide an interpretation of the dynamics and operation of the Argentinian federal organization.

Palabras clave : Federalism; Argentina; decentralization; public policies.
