Neither spatial Keynesianism, nor competitive neolocalism: rescaling and restructuring the developmental state and the production of space in Brazil
This article is focused on the trajectory of productive and state spatial restructuring in Brazil since the technocratic-centralist developmental state of the mid-1960s. As compared to the restructuring of Atlantic Fordism, commonly described in terms of a shift of spatial Keynesianism toward a rescaled and competitive state spatial regime, it is claimed that the Brazilian experience has important specificities. Despite the changes in its developmental regime which have occurred over time, there are important continuities in the production of Brazilian urban and regional spaces. The technocratic-centralist national developmental regime has always privileged some spaces as opposed to others, while neglecting the dimensions of social-spatial and environmental sustainabilities. Moreover, the recent rolling out of the developmental state, after a destructive round of neoliberalization of state spaces in the 1990s, can be interpreted as a crisis-driven response, which has not structurally altered the production of urban and regional spaces.
