Abstract

En los contextos post-descentralización, las relaciones intergubernamentales (RIGs) central-locales adquieren gran relevancia para comprender los procesos de asignación territorial de recursos públicos. La elevada autonomía local en la Provincia de Córdoba, Argentina, hace de ésta un caso apropiado para examinar la complejidad de factores involucrados en la distribución de recursos a municipios y, de este modo, generar aproximaciones heurísticas sobre estos procesos a nivel regional. Este estudio (a) da cuenta de la coexistencia de dos subsistemas de RIGs, a través de los cuales los gobiernos locales procuran acceder a recursos públicos de decisión discrecional, uno conformado por redes políticas formales y otro por una diversidad de redes políticas informales; (b) se observa un efecto sistemático de ambos tipos de redes sobre las chances de acceso de los gobiernos locales a recursos de decisión discrecional del gobierno provincial; (c) se advierte que los gobiernos locales adoptan una estrategia combinada de vinculación a ambos tipos de redes, priorizando el mecanismo de la cohesión en las redes formales y la intermediación en las redes informales.

In the post-decentralization context, the central-local intergovernmental relationships (IGRs) have acquired great relevance for understanding the process of distributing public resources. High local autonomy in the province of Córdoba, Argentina, makes it an appropriate case for examining the complexity of factors involved in the distribution of resources from provincial government to local government and, in this way, for developing a heuristic approximation of those processes at the regional level. In this article we (a) point out the coexistence of two IGR subsystems by which the local government tries to access public resources that are subject to discretion of the provincial government—one of which is formed by formal political networks and the other by a diversity of informal political networks—(b) find a systematic effect of the two networks on the likelihood of the local government getting the resources from the provincial government; and (c) report that the local governments implement a combined strategy that joins both networks, giving priority to the mechanism of cohesion in the formal networks and to the mechanism of intermediation in the informal networks.
