Abstract

BRAGA, Marcus Vinicius de Azevedo. Autonomy and regulation: the decentralization of educational policy analyzed as a hybrid arrangement. J. Pol. Educ-s [online]. 2020, vol.14, e73193.  Epub Dec 01, 2021. ISSN 1981-1969.  https://doi.org/10.5380/jpe.v14i0.73193.

The article argues that the hybrid arrangement, a concept derived from the Theory of Transaction Costs, can be a theoretical reference for discussing the process of decentralization of educational policy to be carried out by municipalities, as it allows governance that considers autonomy and interdependence, typical of federalism, presenting the combination of controls and incentives, as a way to make this governance less costly and more effective. This approach resignifies transparency and social control, as instruments of strategic governance, and reinterprets municipal autonomy, rescuing its political aspect, of strengthening state capacities.

Keywords : Federalism; Municipalization; Transaction costs.
