Abstract
Uruguay has historically been a strongly centralizedcountry. However, since 2009, a decentralization reform process beganwith the approval of the laws of Decentralization and Citizen Participation, which established the municipalities as the third level of government, enabling citizens to choose authorities at the local level. Thisreform significantly modified the dynamics of inter-governmental relations, creating a new weave of economic, legal, political and administrative relations at central and local government level, and further at thenew municipal level. This paper aims to analyze how this configurationhas been developed, characterizing and describing the formal areas ofinter-governmental relations. In this sense, although formal spaces haveadvanced, they are still in a process that presents important challengesand risks, with informal logics that threaten some cardinal principles ofdecentralization reform.
