Abstract

The theme of regional development is an essential part of the debate on state participation in public life, as well as on the quality of institutional arrangements belonging to countries, with their well-defined state capacities. This work has the task of analyzing Brazil and Argentina and their strategies for dealing with regional inequalities, especially from the 1950s to the 1990s. As preliminary results, we can point out that in Brazil, regional development policies aim to combat the great inequality existing in the North, Northeast and Center-West regions, with well-defined institutional strategies, with the active presence of regional superintendencies. In the case of Argentina, we observe that the strategy adopted to contain regional inequalities in the provinces was a constitutional choice, based on a reform in federalism from 1994 onwards. Through this comparison with two Latin American countries, this work intends to collaborate with the mapping of strategies in the resolution of specific regional problems.
