The Brazilian public management reform initiated in the 1990s is a solid legacy with proven representations in federal and sub-national levels. After two decades of this movement, the municipal experiences are more recent - and almost residual, if we disregard the capital cities.  There has been few academic addition on the results obtained in municipal cases. The research of Abrucio and Gaetani (2006) identified as factors for the formation of alliances and coalitions that influence the management reform in states: a) the effect of the tax issue; b) administrative innovations that generated path dependence; c) the weight of the "policies entrepreneurs"; and d) the "window of opportunity" opened. Based on this categorization, we propose an empirical and theoretical research that takes as reference the study of two cases that set recent experiences of management reforms in a municipal level, in the cities of Osasco and Niterói, in order to verify these elements of categorization and expand the discussion to contemporary cases.
