Estudos sobre o desenvolvimento econômico e desenvolvimento sustentável no Brasil (2010 a 2023)

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the evolution of the concept of economic development and sustainable development, using them as a basis for analyzing Brazil in the period 2010- 2023. This study also sets out to discuss the concept of economic development in the light of contemporary and classic developmentalist approaches, as well as the change in the economic perspective on the environment. The hypothesis to be investigated is that deindustrialization and loss of productive complexity seriously compromised the process of economic development in the period under analysis, as well as making these countries more unequal and vulnerable. These results have also contributed to the deterioration of the country's environmental indicators, and considering the recent international demands for sustainable development, these indicators are likely to undergo major changes in the coming years, which represents a major challenge for Brazil. Another point to be investigated in the research is the country's capacity to promote sustainable development in view of its environmental limitations, considering the discussion on other forms of development
