Abstract

This paper reinforces some ideas, which were expressed in the past quarter ofthe century in the document that originated the SUDENE and analyses them accordingly tothe events of the last decades. The conclusions are that the main guidelines (1) the need of atransformation in the agrarian structure and (2) the priority that should be given to industrializationas a dynamic element of regional development, both continue to be valid. In relationto the industrialization process, the necessity of a wide connection between industryand the local market (which gives to industrialization the character of an instrument of socialhomogeneity) is highlighted. JEL Classification: O10; O13; O14.
