Acesso em:https://repositorio.ufpa.br/jspui/handle/2011/16508The main objective of this Thesis is to understand whether the development policies implemented in Campina Grande are able to reflect the aspirations and practical objectives of the theoretical models based on the ideas of endogenous development. As a premise of the work, it is assumed that the local economic evolution characterized by a path dependence process, which is reflected in the control of the main institutions of the municipality, essentially contributes to the non-use of the endogenous potential of its main arrangements. In addition to the introduction and final considerations, this work is divided into three other chapters, which discuss from the analytical categories of support to regional development policies, passing through the territorial economic evolution of the municipality of Campina Grande and its transitions, to the attempt to connect local industrial stimulus policies in relation to the theoretical approaches used as support for the implementation of endogenous development policies in peripheral regions. It appears that the local innovation system does not have the attributes to be able to use existing knowledge and make it available for social absorption, capable of determining and changing the course of history itself or that, given the perspective generated around the sectors that continue influential in the political and economic fields, as well as the dominant trajectories, the balance of forces is still insufficient for this type of policy to be implemented. As much as the literature in the context of endogenous development advocates the need for systemic interaction between the local productive structure, knowledge generation, ST&I policies and local development agents, this is not the perceived scenario. However, by integrating economic historical trajectories in order to generate and proliferate other situations capable of involving a larger local population contingent, an environment conducive to development emerges with good prospects.Acesso AbertoAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Campina GrandeSmart specialisationDesenvolvimento endógenoArranjos produtivos locaisTrajetórias tecnológicasEndogenous developmentLocal productive arrangementsTechnological trajectoriesTeseCNPQ::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::ECONOMIA::ECONOMIA REGIONAL E URBANADESENVOLVIMENTO REGIONAL E URBANODESENVOLVIMENTO ECONÔMICO REGIONAL
