The regional issue in Brazil: Northeast (some topics)
Main Article Content
Abstract
In sum, this paper has intended to show the widening of economic disparities between the Northeast and the country's more developed regions, emphasizing its main causes, as well as some structural prevailing impasses, and indicating also some measures to overcome them.
It is to be taken finally into account the fact that the implementation of a new policy aiming at the development of the Northeast and conducive to a shortening of the interregional economic distance must necessari1y be based upon political and institutional decentralization. That means that a provision of political power to the Sudene is needed for the coordination of federal investment in the region, starting from an autonomous administrative and financial conception. On the other hand, it is fundamentally important to begin anew the elaboration of Directive Plans (Planos Diretores) and that such plans be approved by the National Congress.
