Abstract

This study reviews the literature on intergovernmental management (IGM) with its theoretical bases and main analytical concepts. Theoretical and analytical possibilities of this concept, genesis and evolution are highlighted, as well as the advancement, varieties and challenges of IGM studies. It discusses the relationship between IGM and the approaches of federalism and intergovernmental relations (IGRs), comparing the differences and parallels between concepts. By systematizing the existing literature, this review proposes a basic conceptualization of intergovernmental management capable of summarizing the main authors of the field. Based on this definition, a specific discussion organization around three analytical perspectives is suggested: (1) federative bargaining and negotiation, (2) networks and (3) coordination studies. Thus, it contributes to the literature by systematizing a theoretical approach that is still barely used in studies on political science and public administration in Brazil.
