Sudene e consórcio Nordeste: duas dinâmicas do federalismo brasileiro na perspectiva de Celso Furtado

Abstract

This study examines two key dynamics of Brazilian federalism aimed at the development of the Northeast region: the Superintendency for the Development of the Northeast (SUDENE) and the Northeast Consortium, both analyzed through the lens of economist Celso Furtado's ideas. SUDENE, established in 1959, represents a federal effort to overcome regional inequalities through coordinated actions. In contrast, the Northeast Consortium is a more recent, decentralized, and cooperative approach to addressing regional challenges. The research draws parallels between Furtado's vision and the practices of these institutions, discussing the impact of their policies on the region's socioeconomic development. It concludes that, despite differences in their approaches and historical contexts, both initiatives share the goal of promoting equitable and sustainable growth in the Northeast, highlighting the adaptability of regional strategies over time.
