Sumario:This paper reviews the mechanisms for obtaining and using resources from voluntary transfers in Brazil to highlight the importance of local actors and institutions. Traditionally, the literature on Brazilian politics indicates that the strong imbalances of the federative system, mainly the economic and institutional dependence of the subnational units on the central government, and the incentives produced by the proportional system with open list induce the parliamentarians to cultivate personal relations with their voters through the provision of local benefits that are geographically separable (pork-barrel politics). However, voluntary transfers to municipalities do not result exclusively from parliamentary amendments and can be designed more broadly. With the analysis of the intricate process of obtaining and using voluntary transfers, it can be seen that there are a myriad of rules and procedures that require municipalities a high degree of administrative efficiency, especially in the treatment of public finances and intergovernmental relations. Therefore, the degree of institutional development of the municipalities can be the faithful of the balance in the complex process that culminates in the effective transformation of voluntary transfers into public goods and services, putting in check the diagnosis that associates in a deterministc way the greater volume of voluntary transfers with the pathology of clientelism.
