Abstract
Abstract This chapter undertakes an examination of the ramifications of federalism on the adoption and execution of social policies during the 2020 public health crisis. Drawing on new institutionalism, it delineates the potential influence of diverse institutional arrangements on policy coordination and uniformity within a federal system. The study employs a comprehensive narrative literature review and an exploratory case study focusing on Brazil. The response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil has unveiled palpable discord between the federal government and local authorities. While the federal government downplayed the severity of the outbreak, regional leadership opted for more stringent regulatory measures concerning quarantines and lockdowns. This divergence affected resource allocation and coordination to implement social support measures effectively. The chapter offers an incisive analysis of the intricate interplay between federalism and other pivotal elements within the political sphere, encompassing electoral dynamics, fiscal policies, and external shocks.
