Abstract

This article discusses the impacts of globalization on public politics and its implications on brazilian regional development in 1990 decade. Such objective is justified for the need of enlarging the academic debate on the regional development, under the new paradigms imposed by globalization. The study bases on the analysis of the referring data to union general budget and national and regional accounts in the period, trying to evaluate public politics and its macroeconomic results. It is concluded that there was a deconstruction of social and regional politics in the country, in the decade of 1990, mainly from 1995. The result was the maintenance of the historical regional inequality issue, with the maintenance of the primacy of the southeast, the stagnation of the northeast, the decline of the north and some improvement of south and center-west regions. Key words: brazilian regional development; globalization; regional planning; regional geography.
