The justification for obtaining protection for the Amazonian elites in the expectation of integration with the Brazilian development model can be recognized in the Emergency Plan SPVEA. The planners of 1950 continued to discredit extractive forms while believing in the national state’s ability to intervene to overcome the barriers. Highlighting major problems such as education, health, transportation, agricultural production and financing point to a series of measures to modernize social and economic relations; nevertheless, attempts under the vigor of the capitalist enterprise only found its effectiveness with the policy of direct subsidies and fiscal renunciation of the civil-military dictatorship, in which the regional elites had to settle for the condition of minority partner, remaining to mobilize the denounce this project while trying to improve its position in this endeavor. The corpus of documentary source for this investigation is fixed in the discourses of the elites about economic development in the Report of the governors of Pará and Amazonas, in the laws and news of newspapers juxtaposed as a cinerama to justify the discrediting of extractive economic forms.

Keywords : history; development; planning; elite and territory.
