It also analyzes two specific industrial<br />sectors: food and petrochemicals, and their position regarding the process of integration<br />with Argentina. The large increase in the Brazilian external trade balance during the 1980s<br />was the result of some factors which seem difficult to sustain in the long run. On the other<br />hand, the implementation of the industrial policy established from 1990 has been very slow.<br />However, there is a clear disposition both in the private and public sector to carry out a process<br />to improve competitiveness and to allow the survival of an industrial sector whose level<br />of production is still higher than the Asian tigers all together. But the success of an industrial<br />strategy will depend on the resolution of the current political and macroeconomic problems.</p><p><strong>JEL Classification:</strong> L60; L52.</p> ER -
