Revista de Estudios Brasileños, online, v. 7, n. 15, p. 219-232, 2021. DOI: https://doi.org/10.14201/reb2020715219232. Disponível em: http://repositorio.ufpa.br/jspui/handle/2011/13743. Acesso em:2386-4540https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/13743This article makes an assessment of public development policies that were planned for the Amazon since the 1950s and materialized, especially from the 1970s onwards. Encouraged economic exploitation did not result in a significant increase in the social well-being of the population. As the foundation for this argument, bibliographic studies and research on the websites of public institutions and non-governmental organizations are used. The records of researchers and entities working in the region show that traditional populations suffer from the disruption of their ways of life and that the conflicts generated extend over decades, remaining unsolved.Acesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Políticas públicasAmazôniaExploraçãoEconômicaConflitosPublic policiesAmazonEconomicExploitationConflictsArtigo de Periódico10.14201/reb2020715219232
