Procesos de Negociación en las relaciones intergubernamentales: El Pacto Fiscal Federal I

Abstract

In 1992, both the national and provincial governments signed the Federal Fiscal Pact I (the first in a series of pacts that redefined the fiscal contract and redesigned the distribution system of the fix competency between both governmental levels). The outcomes of this agreement (of as successive agreements signed), have not satisfied the generated expectations, especially to the subnational levels, whose fiscal situation has worsened since then. In the present work we will attempt to explain what variables were involved into the negotiation processes leading to the sign of the Pact and what resources were put into play by the actors involved, focusing the analysis into the institutional setting within which intergovernmental relations develop between both national and subnational levels and by considering the actors involved.
