… as well as a political cushion: Stability breeds a new environment • Economic stability in Brazil has allowed people, firms, and government to focus on micro issues, putting a premium on service delivery and management issues • subnational governments are responding to the new environment in the same way companies did in the 1990s when competition and stability forced them to change the way they operated and improve the services they delivered. • currently, there is a healthy competition among subnational governments – good managers have been rewarded by winning elections and attracting new private investment to their states • the federal government relies on states to conduct the PAC
