RESUMO

The aim of this study is to critically identify and analyze, from a theoretical and methodological point of view, the actions and developmental projects stated and implemented in the Brazilian Northeast region between 1994 and 2009. The analyses circumscribe a moment that marks the trajectory of the Brazilian and Northeast economy due to the stability level of prices, started with the Real Plan implementation in 1994. This period is characterized by a series of new both and politics elaborated and implementing Northeast region. The analysis was made based on the neo-schumpeterian approach of system of innovation as well as the Latin American Structural Approach (LASA). This study argues that the neo-schumpeterian approach is as important as the LASA in order to better understand the peripheral economies. The main argument is related to the technical progress as a pivot element to the economic and social promotion and transformation, emphasizing the intangibles factors responsible for its generation and endogenous diffusion, as such: innovative learning and knowledge locally contextualized. Both bibliographical and documentary surveys were carried, mainly being analyzed the following plans and programs: National Policy for Regional Development (PNDR) and Strategic Plan for Sustainable Development of the Northeast (PDNE). In addition, it was also carried a field research where a semi-structured questionnaire was applied to 14 social actors, such as regional scholars and policy-makers. Based on the research of documents, plans, programs and projects, the following results are summarized: concentrated investments in tangibles factors; absence of scientific and technological strategies throughout the period, and disjointed actions in other areas whenever present; enterprises were concentrated in the States of Pernambuco, Bahia and Ceará; inappropriate diagnostic for understanding the systemic reality, not taking into consideration specific features of the Region, such as political and institutional characteristics. Moreover, it was not incorporated Innovation System indicators in the analysis, such as: innovative learning and knowledge, cooperation, interaction, among others. The data analyzed indicate two important issues: i) around 90% of the employees earn no more than two (2) minimal wages; and ii) it was identified a spurious competitive pattern in the Northeast of Brazil, based on low-technology products which require low standard skill qualification, low salaries, as well as fiscal and financial incentives. Therefore, the results outlined above show a lack of Regional political strategy in order to foster structural economical and social change in the Brazilian Northeast.
