Resumo Apesar de ser cedo para avaliar as recentes mudanças políticas e institucionais que houve, no Brasil, especialmente a nível do Estado e do governo federal, não parece arriscado trabalhar com a hipótese de que os obstáculos que já atrasaram a aprovação e a implementação da Política Nacional de Desenvolvimento Regional, a PNDR II, elaborada a partir de 2012, tendem a aumentar e podem levar, em última instância, ao abandono dessa política. Nessas circunstâncias, eis a proposta defendida neste trabalho: a discussão sobre políticas de desenvolvimento regional poderia resgatar a agenda do desenvolvimento regional em outras escalas e por meio de novos formatos institucionais. Em última instância, o presente ensaio pretende apresentar uma argumentação que sustenta essa perspectiva por meio de quatro passos. Primeiro, será elaborada a compreensão mais profunda do significado da aparente “impossibilidade” de criar uma política regional nacional. Para auxiliar essa análise, a seguinte discussão sobre politica, planejamento, governo e governança vai apresentar uma determinada concepção do Estado (capitalista), oriunda da articulação de três principais autores, Poulantzas, Offe e Jessop. Ao optar por uma compreensão próxima ao pensamento de Gramsci torna-se possível, no passo seguinte, compreender o termo governança criticamente. Finalmente, o artigo dedica-se a uma apreciação crítica das condições de viabilizar, concretamente, essa concepção neogramsciana de governança. Chega-se à conclusão que a “exequibilidade” de uma governança que exige a inclusão “real” de forças sociais desprivilegiadas possa depender da escala (social, territorial) na qual está sendo exercida. Pode ser um caminho promissor de pensar numa “superação dialética” do poder local para resgatar agendas regionais. Abstract Although it is early to evaluate the recent political and institutional changes that have taken place in Brazil, especially at the level of the State at federal level and the Federal Government, it does not seem risky to work with the hypothesis that obstacles that have already delayed approval and implementation of the National Development Policy Regional, PNDR II, elaborated from 2012, tend to increase and may ultimately lead to the abandonment of this policy. In these circumstances, the proposal advocated in this paper, the discussion on regional development policies could rescue the regional development agenda at other scales and through new institutional formats. Ultimately, this essay intends to present an argument that supports this perspective by four steps. First, a deeper understanding of the meaning of the apparent "impossibility" of creating a national regional policy will be developed. To support this analysis, the following discussion of politics, planning, government, and governance follows a particular conception of the (capitalist) state, coming from the articulation of three main authors, Poulantzas, Offe, and Jessop. In opting for an understanding close to Gramsci's thoughts it becomes possible, in the next step, to understand the term governance critically. Finally, the article is devoted to a critical appreciation of the conditions to concretize this neo-Gramscian conception of governance. It concludes that the "feasibility" of governance that requires the "real" inclusion of underprivileged social forces may depend on the scale at which it is being pursued. It may be a promising path to think of a "dialectical overcoming" of local power to rescue regional agendas.

Development planning in the city of Banda Aceh is still experiencing various problems and shortcomings both in terms of the substantial process of implementation and supervision. This is because there is still a lack of regional planning apparatus both in terms of quantity and quality and not yet optimal public consultation in taking government policy in development that directly impacts the community, then development plan deliberations and official head work unit forums as a mechanism for community involvement in planning development is not yet up to and maximal. Commitment to the political communication of the mayor of Banda Aceh wants to build the community of the city of Banda Aceh as a model of the civil city. This political commitment arose from the results of the geopolitical analysis, the natural conditions of the region, the Aceh provincial regional development policy and the national development vision, and the strong desire of the mayor himself. The Mayor of Paradigama in building the city of Banda Aceh referred to the concept of building the Prophet in Medina.

<p>This dissertation documents research conducted with the 'Asociacion de Mujeres de Acosta'  (AMA), in a mountainous rural region of Costa Rica, in Central America. AMA was originally set up to counter some negative effects of Costa Rican society, such as 'machismo'  and the rural depopulation of women to the capital San Jose. The association implemented a Women In Development (WID) approach, which enabled women to gather and generate an income. The aim of my research is to examine the evolution of AMA since its inception, and to assess its current status in light of international shifts in development policy from WID to Gender And Development (GAD). It provides a rare opportunity to assess an organisation's evolution and its impact on women over a 30-year period. It also enables me to build on Kindon and Odell's earlier research with the organisation in 1990. The research uses qualitative data collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, a focus group, a questionnaire and field notes, from five months of fieldwork in the community with members of AMA. The key findings show that AMA membership has decreased since its inception in 1980. Compared with results from previous research with AMA in 1990, my findings reveal that AMA has been slow to embrace international policy agendas and continues to adopt a WID approach. AMA does not yet reflect international and national development trends associated with gender and development, particularly in light of some similar organisations in Central and South America. While benefits have accrued to some of AMA members, they do not yet earn a decent wage to satisfy their needs. There are major intergenerational and interscalar issues, which are similar to those identified in 1990. These concerns are associated with power imbalances inside and outside of the association, traditional attitudes towards women due to the culture of 'machismo', and lack of appropriate information and funding sources. These issues appear to be stifling change and raise serious questions about the future sustainability of the association, as well as the relevance of international development policy changes for rural women in associations like AMA. Women of AMA are now looking for new projects and beginning to think about including men in the association. These slow changes, if enacted, may enable the organisation to survive another 30 years.</p>

Identification of leading sectors or subsectors is one of the main tasks of the regional government and is an important part of regional development planning before formulating, drafting and establishing a better development policy strategy. The main objective of this research is to analyze and identify subsectors in the manufacturing industry sector that have comparativeness and competitiveness in Jambi Province. Main data of this study are secondary data of districts and cities in Jambi Province during the period 2011–2015 which were sourced from the Central Bureau of Statistics,  and Indonesian Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas). Data were analyzed using descriptive and quantitative analysis methods, namely Location Quotient analysis and Shift Share analysis.

A variety of policies implemented by the wealthy countries of the world can have an impact on economic development in poor countries. We argue that the field of international political economy has underinvested in studying the determinants of non-foreign-aid policies that affect development. We review literature from a set of eight policy areas where there are identifiable development consequences and discuss the findings of the International Political Economy (IPE) literature with regard to policy origins, changes, and consequences. We find a consistent role of non-governmental organization (NGO) pressure on wealthy-country governments in bringing about pro-development policies, although we also identify instances where pro-development policies originate in domestic and strategic interests. Overall, we argue that there is significant space for additional exploration through a development lens of how policies come into being in the wealthy countries of the world.
