Nova indústria Brasil à luz do pensamento Cepalino: desafios, convergências e perspectivas

Abstract

This study examines the extent to which the guidelines of the “Nova Indústria Brasil” (NIB)plan converge with the strategies proposed by ECLAC for strengthening Latin American industry, based on reports and documents published by the institution since 2020. Initially, the study presents ECLAC's main strategic proposals for accelerating sustainable economic growth and transforming the productive structure in Latin America and the Caribbean. It then analyzes Brazil's experience with productive development, highlighting the historical transformations of industrialization in the country, its structural challenges—such as low technological diffusion, inequality, and productive heterogeneity—and the role of ECLAC's agendas in this diagnosis. Finally, the research delves into the objectives and goals defined by the NIB, assessing how the plan drives neo-industrialization in Brazil and identifying convergences between the NIB and ECLAC's contemporary agenda for structural productive change. This research adopts a qualitative method, due to the need for an interpretive and in-depth analysisar
