Uma análise comparativa entre o II Plano Nacional de Desenvolvimento (1974-1979) e o Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento (2007-2014)

Abstract

This paper revisited the Second National Development Plan and the Growth Acceleration Program (PAC) aiming to build a comparison about the model of development in each period. Through an extensive literature review, it was possible to observe the State’s role in the process of economic and social development, specially since the XXI century. In order to elaborate such comparison, this paper accentuated the development strategies of each period, the definition of developmentalism, the conditions of the international economy, the role of state-owned companies and the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES), and the sectoral investments on economic infrastructure. The result was a successful outcome for the Federal Government in promoting a new framework of social and economic development between 2007 and 2014, giving the return of economic planning in a wide public and private investment program (PAC).
