The brazilian regional problem consists in a historical process of unequal territorialization of capitalism an, consequently, of power. As a heterogenous and complex process, the state has handled with the issue in a variety of ways over time, not always resulting in the reduction of territorial inequalities. In this sense, the objective of this article is to contribute to the understanding about the responsibility of the State in correct the unequal materialization of power in the territory and how the absence of the territorial dimension inside their actions contributes to the intensification of brazilian spatial inequalities, based on the analysis of the last three multiannual plans of the Federal Government (PPA 2004-2007, 2008-2011 and 2012-2015).
