ORTEGA, Antonio César. Territorial development and new structure of governance in Brazil. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.38, pp.149-179. ISSN 2448-6183.

In recent years Brazil has implemented rural development policies that have resulted in socio-productive innovation and strategies for territorial development. Examples include Inter Municipal Consortia for Food Security and Local Development (Consads) and Citizenship Territories. Each of these has been elaborated within existing Governmental Programs. The objective has been to initiate the development process on a territorial basis, a challenge that is the foundation of the vast majority of the development policies in process. These policies have been targeted primarily to economically depressed rural areas where, after attempting a strategy that strengthened the endogenous capacity for development, the government by means of the citizen territories combines bottom-up with top-down actions, recognizing thus the importance of the role of the State, particularly in the conditions of those territories.

Palavras-chave : public policies; rural development; territorial development; depressed rural territories.
