Circulação e desenvolvimento regional: uma avaliação dos impactos do plano nacional de logística e transportes no centro-oeste brasileiro

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the National Logistics and Transport Plan (PNLT) and the theoretical-methodological repertoire that guides the approach to planning policies in Brazil. Focusing on the interventionist proposals in the Brazilian Center-West, we seek to dialogue with a problematizing question: what are the political-territorial meanings present inPNLT's discourse and its possible impacts on the economic and social dynamics of the Cerrado? An analytical assumption served as a basis for all narrative structure: one can not ignore the relationship with the socio-spatial formation of the country in the study of planning policies, as well as with the actors involved in the design and execution of the plans; This is because a planning strategy always meets certain interests of land use and appropriation, orchestrated by political and economic actors withhigh power of articulation in the decision-making spheres. In these terms, the adopted methodology contemplated the bibliographical revision and the documentary analysis.
