The central issue of this article is the mechanistic myth of past economic theories and models that have been imported from the experiences of central countries or even crafted in Latin America. These theories advocate for abstract growth and economic development without considering the heterogeneity of different historical contexts and the detrimental effects of their implementation on traditional ways of life and the environment that occur when applying them. These mechanistic principles have encompassed both orthodox and heterodox economies, including neoclassical and neoliberal approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this article is to study public institutions and their role at the intersection between law and economics, in particular their function of promoting predictability in contractual compliance, thus promoting the expansion of markets and economic growth. We sought to investigate the configuration of institutional arrangements aimed at protecting credit, with the delimitation of rights and the adjudication of solutions, bringing legal certainty with the reduction of transaction costs and the role of the Justice System in this process. Documentary and bibliographic review was used as a method. It was concluded that institutions constitute the key elements for economic development, allowing the expansion of markets and the consolidation of capital, with the Justice System assuming high relevance as an institution designed to guarantee rights and award solutions. This article falls within the field of Legal and Economic Sciences, specifically the field of Economic Analysis of Law. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The development of the financial sector has always been an important factor, not only for economic development, as Levine (2005) points out, but also for human development, according to Pompeu and Lima (2021). And that is why a range of studies in economics are dedicated to trying to understand the correlations between money and well-being, such as the famous text by Adam Smith (2010). In this sense, this article seeks to present a very contemporary theme in the list of finance studies, digital banks, which in most studies are related to a possible positive relationship with economic growth and social well-being. We seek to contextualize the subject and expose possible theoretical approaches that can be used as a basis for modeling digital banks in scientific studies of economics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this work is to bring a different perspective from that presented in previous works on the “development process” in Furtado’s thought. In line with his methodological writings, we argue that Furtado extrapolated, in his formulation of the “development process”, the limits of economic science, thus diverging from conventional economic growth models. Furthermore, we emphasize that the referred author managed to combine, in a creative manner, different aspects of the previous formulations on economic development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since its beginning the 1980s, the globalized model of economic development in Mexico has generated paradoxical results. On the positive side, Mexico attained a privileged position among the mayor economies of the world by becoming the 13th largest exporter and the 12th main importer, while simultaneously turning into a high-ranking recipient of foreign direct investment. These positive results deeply diverge with the mediocre performance in economic growth and the high levels of unemployment, informality and poverty. In this paper we argue that these paradoxical results are the consequence of structural disequilibrium caused by the reorientation of production towards export-based global value chains, which did not contribute to the development of an integrated industrial sector with forward and backward linkages between foreign and local firms. The flows of trade and investment that were stimulated by the North American Free Trade Agreement (nafta) did not promote economic growth in Mexico because of structural weaknesses that derived from an exporting sector where foreign firms limited the value-added produced by local firms, and created an inelastic supply of imported inputs. Hence, the export-led model became a development strategy that weakened the capacity for the consolidation of a strong and dynamic internal market. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The process of economic development provides externalities in different ways, depending on the productive composition of each territory; in this context, regional differences can result in greater or lesser economic growth. The present article investigated the performance of the Centro-Oeste region between 2002-2015 and compared it with the national average using quantitative analysis. The indicators used for the analysis were GDP, Gini, Exports, Imports, and Degree of Commercial Openness (GAC, in the Portuguese acronym). The results showed that, in the Gini, the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul, MS, were above the national average, and Goiás, GO, below. The variable GDP followed the national average, while exports were above average, and, in imports, only MS was higher. The GAC of GO and MS was above the national average, and the one from MT, below. According to the literature, the present research confirms that the Centro-Oeste continues above the national average. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The idea of development gains strength throughout the 20th century, the recurrent distinction between growth and economic development on the historical plane makes sense from the intertwining between the increase in production and per capita income and, at the same time, profound changes in society. The development theme, with a focus beyond economic growth, relating aspects of quality of life, environmental sustainability, and social and cultural equity, has been gaining prominence in discussions in the area of social sciences. The search for democratically qualified societies, acting inseparably from the collective's exclusive interests, signals the need to develop cooperation networks, based on mutual trust and collaboration. It is worth noting the existence of regional councils in order to exercise social control, but also the representative articulation and regional development. Universities, especially public ones, also have a social commitment to regional development; by the way, universities are vectors that induce regional development, connecting with the world while taking root regionally, with effects on the production and consumption of the economy, which have a multiplying effect on spatial structures, especially in cities where are located. In this sense, the study on screen aimed to carry out a survey of publications about the participation of universities in the regional development process, from 2008 to 2016, to analyze in which optics the university contribution to regional development has been studied. For that, we used the bibliometric analysis, performed from the data collection on Scopus and Redalyc platforms. The results show that, although the topic has gained some evidence in the last five years, there is still a lack of research that deeply discusses the relationship between universities and regional development.

This study aims to present environmental licensing as a public state policy and an instrument capable of technically evaluating business activity in the face of the discourse of economic growth. In this context, after the Stockholm Convention, with the strong environmental sentiment instituted by the world and, consequently, with the issue of specific legislation in the environmental area of Brazil, companies had to subordinate their activities to the State. With this situation, we confront the Right to the ecologically balanced environment and economic development, both present in Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil of 1988, in contrast to the foundations of Foucault's theory of power.

Innovation produces economic growth and development to nations, as well as introduces novelty and improvement in organizations. The success of an organization's innovation may depends on innovations in the external environment and on the relationships with the players in its innovation ecosystem. In this way, the research aimed to identify the main players in the innovation ecosystem of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras), those who collaborate for the company's Research & Development activities. For this, it were used Petrobras' technology reports through an adaptation of the content analysis. Through the reports, it can be established that Petrobras leads its ecosystem and that most technological development projects come from the relationship with the academic comunity. It was identified that the main players in Petrobras' innovation ecosystem are: Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and Baker Hughes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Technology and innovation have become indispensible for economic success since they are basic variables within the country's growth and economic development process. The structure of Brazilian exports will be evaluated according to their technological and demand profile through Lall's technological taxonomy (2000), for 2007-2017. The Structuralist/Schumpeterian theoretical basis is employed, or rather, what every country produces and, consequently, exports, is relevant to attain technological dynamism, increase in productivity and income. Three indexes of international commerce are determined, namely Market-Share (MS), Revealed Comparative Advantage Index (RCAI) and Contribution to Surplus Index (CSI), whilst the Competitive Matrix developed by CEPAL was employed to examine the Brazilian export performance. Results of indexes demonstrate that the only sectors that have (1) market participation greater than Brazilian general average; (2) revealed comparative advantages; 3) contribution to surplus of positive commercial balance in all the years under analysis were Primary Products (PP) and Natural Resources Bases (RB1 and RB2). The commercial insertion of Brazil within the world market is still vulnerable since it is concentrated on primary products, only slightly complex, with low aggregate value and low innovatory content.

The article seeks to understand the recent industrialization that occurred in the State of Ceará in a context of national economic transformation and globalization, its territorial impact and regional organization of urban space. The interest is to investigate how industrial activity takes place, with focus on points of great economic expansion, such as Sobral, Crato, Juazeiro and the Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza. These urban centers are experiencing economic transformations derived from new industrial dynamism. The installation of many factories is responsible for production increase and for the construction of a new occupational framework. The objective is to understand the territorial effects brought by the most recent transformations, as well as to provide an analysis about the altered spatial structure. Through the exam of the regional industry and all the elements that enable its consolidation, this study seeks to clarify the major changes in the territorial organization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Argentina post-convertibility: a new developmentalism case? This paper analyses the economic recovery in post-Convertibility Argentina. We try to identify if there are evidences to support the suggestion that Argentina could be an example of the so-called "new developmentalism". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article I see development as a power field made up of many networks and institutions. I present the notion of "consortiation" to explain the articulations among the different actors of the development field. Furthermore, development is approached as an ideology and utopia, a discourse traversed by cultural western categories and linked to the economic expansion of capitalism. The discussion on "developmentalist dramas" allows for the identification of two types of subjects generated by the unequal encounters between local actors and outsiders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
