Construindo a própria escada : análise e proposições rumo à efetividade dos estímulos ao setor industrial em países em processo de desenvolvimento

The modernization of industrial sectors in developing countries results in the improvement of their economic and social indicators. Growing inequalities between developed and developing countries, however, cast doubt on whether indicators of industrial stimulus and proposals of international organizations in this regard are actually effective for those means. This dissertation seeks to propose alternatives to industrial policies and projects of industrial development applied to developing economies through the analysis of industrial policies guidelines adopted by developed countries and those applied by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), main international organization dedicated to develop industrial sectors. Based on the assumption that current policies applied to industrial sectors in developing countries has limited positive impacts on reducing income inequalities, the dissertation search to characterize elements that could contribute to the reformulation of industrial policies aimed at developing countries through a theoretical model proposition grounded in socioeconomic ecosystems. In this context, it was verified that to improve the effectiveness of public policies aimed at industrial development, it is necessary to build, prior to the implementation of these policies, a favorable ecosystem, in order to increase industrial density, economic growth and social welfare, according to the diverse institutional realities of developing countries.
