O auge e o declínio: a trajetória institucional da Sudene e o futuro do planejamento no Nordeste

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to draw the institutional trajectory of Northeast Development Superintendency (Sudene), since its foundation in 1959 until its extinction in 2001. As a secondary objective, we sought to elucidate the political motivations that permeated the debate over extinction, political actors involved, as well as replacements for this model of development hitherto processed. The methodology includes the Atas of the Deliberative Council of Sudene, newspapers at the time of foundation and extinction, as well as programs developed by Sudene during the military regime. We are supported in this article by institutionalist theory, especially the aspect that prioritizes historical institutionalism. This Article is justified, particularly since we do not know, yet, a work traced the institutional trajectory of the Superintendent, and such proposal therefore shows up original.
