Industrialização e Desenvolvimento Regional no Brasil: a experiência paranaense de desenvolvimento.

This article seeks to show the dynamics of the Paraná transformation industry in the context of the process of slowing Brazilian economic growth in which the State is inserted, as well as the effects of the global crisis that occurred in 2008. It is assumed that the different industrial segments of Paraná are part of distinct dynamics in the national and international economic context, sometimes more connected to internal consumption activities, sometimes more connected to global value chains. As analytical instruments, information on employment and establishments obtained from the Annual Social Information Ratio (RAIS) and applied to the methodology of Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESA) was used. As main results, it was possible to identify that the most service sectors to the domestic market, specifically Non-Durable Consumer Goods, were the ones that suffered less from the 2008 crisis, primarily the manufacture of food products, which, in view of the fall in domestic income and unemployment, is more related in the foreign market, taking advantage of the open opportunities in this market segment. The ESA revealed that the industrial segment with the highest spatial autocorrelation was intermediate goods, nolonger more integrated into global value chains, forming a large spatial cluster led by the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba. Durable and Capital Consumer Goods are located only in the major metropolises of the State, specifically in the regions of Curitiba, Londrina and Maringá, with those who feel the effects of the slowdown in economic growth since 2008.
