Dissertação (Mestrado em Administração Pública) - Escola de Governo Professor Paulo Neves de Carvalho da Fundação João Pinheiro, 2025.https://repositorio.fjp.mg.gov.br/handle/123456789/4707This dissertation examines municipal state capacities in educational management in Minas Gerais from the perspective of Brazilian federalism through the analysis of how different institutional configurations influence the implementation of educational policies, considering the particularities of a state marked by profound regional and socioeconomic disparities. The research problem focuses on understanding how state capacities condition municipal performance in the educational field. Through the construction of specific indicators and a synthetic index, the study evaluates 829 municipalities in Minas Gerais, revealing a scenario of heterogeneous and segmented institutional development. The results show that the different dimensions of state capacity evolve in a practically independent manner, demonstrating the absence of significant correlations between the indicators. It is also observed that population size distinctly influences the analyzed capacities: smaller municipalities frequently present greater relative financial capacity, while larger ones demonstrate better technical-administrative structuring, albeit with less proportional budgetary effort in education. The study establishes theoretical dialogue with Machado, Abrucio, Segatto, Arretche, Gomide, Pires and other researchers of federalism and state capacities through the articulation of concepts that allow a more refined interpretation of federative dynamics in education. The contributions of the research lie in the multidimensional approach to state capacities and in the identification of municipal typologies according to different institutional configurations, offering subsidies for the improvement of educational policies and federative cooperation mechanisms, with a view to reducing inequalities in educational provision.open accessEducaçãoMunicípioMinas GeraisFederalismoDescentralizaçãoCapacidade institucionalDissertaçãoCIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::ADMINISTRACAO::ADMINISTRACAO PUBLICA
