MOTTA, Regina. Integração nacional e sul-americana: velho debate, novas con(tra)dições. GOT [online]. 2014, n.5, pp.181-205. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2014.5.008.

The intention here is to analyze the process of national integration in Brazil since 1950 seeking the path of state planning - in phases and post-authoritarian democratization (neoliberal) - changes in legitimizing the political development discourse, and understanding, as they were being built to give legitimacy to regional development policies and how they were necessary at a given moment and in another, "unnecessary". Thus, the ideas of the Brazilian regional context is crafted from the socioeconomic context in which it operates: the actions of economic agents and minimal interference from the neoliberal state resulted in the concentration of wealth, spatial selectivity and expanded production of poverty.

Keywords : National Integration; Legitimizing Speech; Government Policy; Economics not Equal.
