The regional legislation reflects the existence of traditional smaller local government entities with a different configuration and aim from the basic national legislation, usually due to the need to limit the creation of new municipalities and to allow the decentralization of responsibilities and participation of their residents. This system incorporates part of previous regulations, which were responding to other principles. The role of local governments in these processes is still limited because the final decision usually corresponds to the autonomous region, in spite if the fact that Constitution has recognized municipal autonomy and has guaranteed its participation in all matters of its interest. Given this reality, it is necessary to determine when the creation of these entities can be justified and to establish the position that should be reserved for the municipality. ; La legislación autonómica recoge la existencia de las tradicionales entidades de ámbito territorial inferior al municipal con una diversa configuración y finalidad a partir de la legislación básica estatal. Ello se debe normalmente a la necesidad de limitar la creación de nuevos municipios y de posibilitar también la descentralización de competencias y la participación de sus vecinos. Ese régimen recoge en parte la regulación anterior a la vigente, que respondía a otros principios. El papel de los ayuntamientos en los procesos de creación de estas entidades sigue siendo limitado, pues la decisión final suele corresponder a la Comunidad Autónoma, una vez que la Constitución ha reconocido la autonomía municipal y ha garantizado su participación en todos los asuntos de su interés. Partiendo de esta realidad, consideramos necesario determinar cuándo puede justificarse la creación de esas entidades, así como establecer la posición que debe ostentar el municipio.

This article aims to analyze two fields of the Brazilian cultural policy developed since 2000, during the governments of Luis Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff. The first analysis focus on the Nacional System of Culture and its goal of generating stability to the national cultural policy through the linking of the federal entities. In this context, the text addresses aspects related to the challenges involved in the multilevel governance in Brazil considering, on the one hand, the tradition of the country in developing systemic policies, and by the other hand, the problems faced to promote a democratic, decentralized and cooperative cultural management. The second analysis seeks the role of the country, represented by the Ministries of Culture and of Foreign Affairs, in processes of cultural cooperation and multilateral negotiation in the Ibero-American space. Thus, the article approaches the unprecedented international dimension that culture has achieved to the Brazilian's policy of foreign affairs, becoming an important diplomatic tool.
