Indústria, desenvolvimento econômico e vulnerabilidade externa: a inserção internacional da economia brasileira nos anos 2000

Abstract

Economies such as the Brazilian and Latin American ones have presented, in the last decades, reductions in the participation of industry in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and in employment in this sector. These signs point to the deindustrialization of the economy, generating, among other effects, a reduction in the GDP and reprimarization of the export agenda. The present study aims to analyze the Brazilian external vulnerability, from the structural and conjunctural perspectives (Macrocontábil). The results show that external vulnerability deepened in the first decades of the 2000s, under both perspectives. As a recommendation, the return of industrial policies is suggested, however considering the new forms of productive organization.
