Revista Sapiência: sociedade, saberes e práticas educacionais, Iporá, v. 9, n. 2, p. 7-17, 2020. Número especial.2238-3565http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/20451This article aims to situate the process of adopting the territorial approach and its dimensions in Brazilian public policies. However, it limits its discussion to the dynamics of the implementation of policies that use the territory as an end, that is, “policies based on intersectoral strategies and articulated for the development of specific territories with severe structural deficiencies and high incidence of poverty” (SILVA, 2013, p. 31). Thus, the history of this approach is restricted here to the federal programs Rural Territories (Pronat) and Territories of Citizenship (PTC). Methodologically, a bibliographic review based on a critical approach is performed, with a view to understanding the territorial perspective in public policies.porAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/TerritórioPolíticas públicasTerritórios ruraisTerritórios da cidadaniaBrasilTerritoryPublic policiesRural territoriesCitizenship territoriesBrazilArtigo
