Abstract

As a bourgeois ideology, developmentalism presents the consolidation of capitalism as an expression of the harmonization of class struggles and stuffing of democracy. Its absence, however, could strengthen the existence of certain patterns of social conflict that could escape institutional control, causing ruptures - this was exactly what happened in the Northeast of Brazil, in the mid-fifties. It seems that this situation stimulated the creation of regional developmental policies, expressed in the foundation of Sudene. It was supposed that the expansion of capitalist relations was a condition for the maintenance of order, which could have converted developmentalism in a bourgeois ideoloy of national security
