BNDES and consultory enterprises in the reorganization of the Brazilian territory in the 90’s

Abstract

The present article has the objective of analyzing BNDES’ role in the Brazilian territory reorganization. The concerns with industrialization, territory integration and the overcoming underdevelopment substantiated the creation of the Bank in the early 1950’s. In a short period of time, BNDES became one of the major references of State planning and essential to the main national projects of distinct orientations. Nowadays, with the intensification of globalization rationality, BNDES has been determinant for the elaboration and operationalization of a normative project, favorable to the territory internationalization. The assumption in this paper is that the vigorous privatization process coordinated by the Bank, with the endorsement of consultancy companies, has been enlarging the unequal generation and appropriation of income and intensifying the corporate use of territory.
