Previous issue date: 2008-02-21 / This thesis aims to examine and interpret the process of competitive insertion and of socioeconomic transformation in the Extreme South of Bahia, Brazil, correlating it to the dynamics of regional development. Such process has taken place due to the expansion of the forest industry, led by great companies of the pulp and paper segment. Theoretical contributions which allow the understanding of the factors that affected regional integration, of the nature of the recent changes and of their relationship with the pattern of regional development have been established. In consonance with the theoretical and analytical references used, the study revealed that the integration of the Extreme South of Bahia, from the competitive exploration of its local resources for wood production (eucalyptus) and cellulose, constitutes an important example of the global production expansion movement - determined by the patterns and strategies of segmental and business competition. Besides the region s advantages, it was also clear that the action of the State based on approaches which associate development to progress, to spatial polarization of economic activities and competitive integration - played a major role in the redefinition of the development pattern and of regional insertion. The empirical analysis was based on data collection and on the systematization of data as well as of quantitative and qualitative information. It showed that the establishment and expansion of forest activities and of cellulose and paper production, on the one hand internalized flows of the global production cycle, and on the other hand, caused a set of transformations in the and social and productive structures in the region. This was expressed by several aspects, such as: i) a higher concentration of land ownership and an increase in business exploration; ii) the de-structuralization of the existing economic and social relationships; iii) the expansion of activities, occupations and lifestyles, predominantly, urban. Nevertheless, economic growth, especially urban, regarded as synonymous to development and modernization, has been of little use to the local society. Such evidences reveal not only the limitations in the spread of the benefits of global economic competitiveness for the local society, but also highlight the need for institutional arrangements and for synergic relationships between the local society and public and private spheres, as fundamental resources for economic and social development. Thus, in accordance with the institutionalist perspective, being competitive is not enough, it is also necessary to create an institutional atmosphere which provides coordination among the actors, enabling the use of local capacities on behalf of the development of such society. / O objetivo da tese ? examinar e interpretar o processo de inser??o competitiva e de transforma??o socioecon?mica da regi?o do Extremo Sul baiano, capitaneado pela expans?o do complexo florestal-celul?sico, correlacionando-os ? din?mica do desenvolvimento regional. Para tanto, foram estabelecidos os aportes te?ricos que permitem a compreens?o dos fatores que condicionaram a integra??o da regi?o, da natureza das mudan?as ocorridas e de sua rela??o com o padr?o de desenvolvimento regional. Em conson?ncia com as refer?ncias te?ricas e anal?ticas trabalhadas, a investiga??o revelou que a integra??o do Extremo Sul baiano, a partir da explora??o competitiva de seus atributos territoriais para produ??o de madeira (eucalipto) e celulose, constitui um exemplo revelador de movimento de expans?o da produ??o global condicionado aos padr?es e ?s estrat?gias da concorr?ncia setorial e empresarial. Evidenciou-se, tamb?m, que, al?m das vantagens competitivas locacionais, a a??o do Estado ancorada em abordagens que associam o desenvolvimento ao progresso, ? polariza??o espacial das atividades econ?micas e ? integra??o competitiva ao mercado exerceu um importante papel na redefini??o do padr?o de desenvolvimento e na inser??o regional. A an?lise emp?rica, com base na coleta e na sistematiza??o de dados e informa??es quantitativas e qualitativas, demonstrou que a implanta??o e a expans?o das atividades florestais e de produ??o de celulose e papel, ao tempo em que internalizaram fixos e fluxos do circuito da produ??o global, provocaram um conjunto de transforma??es na estrutura produtiva e social regional, expressos, entre outros aspectos: i) pela intensifica??o da concentra??o fundi?ria e incremento da explora??o empresarial; ii) pela desestrutura??o das rela??es econ?micos e sociais, tradicionalmente, vigentes; iii) pela expans?o de atividades, ocupa??es e modos de vida, predominantemente, urbanos. Entretanto, a dinamiza??o da economia, em particular a urbana, vista como sin?nimo de desenvolvimento e moderniza??o, tem se mostrado pouco prof?cua para a sociedade local. Tais evid?ncias, al?m de revelar limita??es no transbordamento dos benef?cios da competitividade econ?mica global para a sociedade local, trazem ? luz a necessidade de constru??o de arranjos institucionais e de rela??es de sinergias entre a sociedade local e as esferas p?blicas e privadas, enquanto recursos fundamentais para o desenvolvimento econ?mico e social. Assim, em conformidade com a perspectiva institucionalista, n?o basta ser competitivo: ? preciso criar um ambiente institucional, que proporcione formas de coordena??o entre os atores, capazes de acionar o conjunto das capacidades locais em prol do desenvolvimento da sociedade em foco.
