Por essa raz?o, ? pedra angular dessa disserta??o o focar na energia e?lica como proposta de desenvolvimento local, compreendendo-se como centro da an?lise, a rela??o entre os investimentos e?licos e os territ?rios estudados. Para melhor percep??o de como ? poss?vel a din?mica econ?mica de uma regi?o perif?rica, adotou-se como plataforma metodol?gica a investiga??o hist?rico-estruturalista da escola cepalina. A pesquisa parte da an?lise dos fatos hist?ricos que se manifestaram em diferentes per?odos, impactando positiva ou negativamente nas estruturas produtivas e sociais. Como procedimentos metodol?gicos foram realizados: revis?o da literatura; observa??o emp?rica atrav?s de uma visita de campo; e consulta e an?lise de documentos. Elegeu-se como principal hip?tese que apesar dos elevados investimentos, como ? o caso da energia e?lica no Rio Grande do Norte, ocorre uma baixa intera??o com a din?mica regional local, n?o contribuindo para a diminui??o de problemas estruturais, sociais e econ?micos de uma regi?o perif?rica. Conclui-se que apesar dos esfor?os nacionais em desenvolver o setor, no Rio Grande do Norte, a din?mica socioecon?mica foi influenciada de forma tangencial no que se refere a economia das e?licas, ou seja, sem profundas transforma??es. Destaca-se a urg?ncia de concomit?ncia entre as pol?ticas nacionais de setor com as pol?ticas locais de desenvolvimento. A economia das e?licas revela-se como promotora de desenvolvimento quando o Estado concilia as oportunidades que o setor desenvolve. Caso contr?rio, a economia das e?licas servir-se-? dos territ?rios em que se instala apenas como recurso para a reprodu??o do capital internacional sem se espraiar progresso pelo local. / Analyzes the socio-economic dynamics of Rio Grande do Norte from the economics of wind power (2002-2015) and micro-regions where are found the wind farms of the State. For this reason, it is the cornerstone of this dissertation the focus on wind power as local development proposal, figuring out how to center of analysis, the relationship between the wind farm investments and territories studied. For better understanding of how it is possible the economic dynamics of a peripheral region, it was used as methodological platform the historical research structuralist method of cepalina school. The research stems from the analysis of the historical facts that was expressed in different periods, impacting positively or negatively in the productive and social structures. As methodological procedures were performed: literature review; empirical observation through a field visit; and document consultation and analysis. It was elected as the main hypothesis that high investment, as is the case of wind energy in Rio Grande do Norte, result in conservatism and strengthening of local inequalities, there is a low interaction with the local regional dynamics, not contributing to the reduction of structural, social and economic problems of a peripheral region. It is concluded that despite the national efforts to develop the sector, in Rio Grande do Norte, the socioeconomic dynamics was influenced in a tangential way with regard to the economy of the wind, that is, without deep transformations. The economy of wind power is seen as a promoter of development when the State reconciles the opportunities that the sector develops. Otherwise, the economy of wind power will be used in territories where it is installed only as a resource for the reproduction of international capital without spreading progress through the site.
