Abstract

This article attempts to analyze the methods utilized and results achieved by theState in the policy of Vale do São Francisco’s economic revitalization. The importance of thisvalley results from its geographical situation; in spite of cutting off a half-arid region, SãoFrancisco is an abundant and perennial river. By reason of its waterfalls, it allows the constructionof barrages, which will be used for energy production and for the development ofirrigated agriculture as well. The government policy, which has provoked the use of fundsand utilization of modern techniques which have not contributed for better living conditionsfor the local population, is also analyzed. Thus, there is a modernization without social-economicdevelopment, in view of the model utilized by State intervention. JEL Classification: O44; L94; O13; O18; Q40.
