negative reactions, including population displacement and environmental degradation, while failing to
produce the spillover and ripple effects that are essential to sustainable regional development.
To what extent would it be possible to conciliate the objectives, instruments and social players
involved in the public policies? The results of this study point to three lines of action which would
correspond to the intersection points of industrial policy and regional policy for the Brazilian case. The
first would be a policy of industrial promotion and metropolitan production integration of the lesser
developed SIAs. The second line of action would be a policy of regional development of the potential
SIAS, seeking to construct a regional production complementarity based on the successful so-called
Local Production Arrangements (APLs). And finally, the third line of action would be the policy for
local development of the areas surrounding the localized industrial agglomerations which are isolated
within the country, the so-called Industrial Enclaves. The objectives would be to reduce the local
territorial segmentation with the offering of an urban physical infrastructure, such as sanitation,
transportation and housing.
These three lines of action would have to be implemented on the basis of the two main federal
public policies for the production sector, namely the Industrial, Technological and Foreign Trade
Policies and the National Policy for Regional Development. The competencies of the company and the
territory would need to be integrated.
