A economia globalizada e o desenvolvimento nacional: um estudo de caso comparado da experiência do Cone Sul e dos Tigres Asiáticos

Abstract

The work in question aims to analyze how economic insertion influenced the differentiation of the economic development of the countries that compose the Asian Tigers and the Southern Cone between the 1960s and 1990s. The analysis, presented in the form of a case study, investigates the domestic and external factors that marked the development of the regions under analysis. For this, the British theory of International Political Economy is used, as well as the developmental theoretical contributions formulated in the Latin American continent with the aim of complementing the theoretical framework. Specifically, the objective was to analyze the development history of the regions in question; analyze how the insertion in the internationalization processes affected the regional development of these countries; and how externally promoted economic assumptions influenced these processes. According to the factors analyzed, it was possible to conclude that the way in which national states implemented their developmental projects, as well as the way they conducted their international insertion and responded to external recommendations, was the main differentiating factor in the development of the regions. In addition, this differentiation was influenced by the rise of liberal assumptions, adopted by the South American economies, which began to prioritize market needs over domestic needs for growth and development.
