Abstract

Abstract: Between the late 1990s and early 2000s, from their own paths or under the influence of central government policies, the Brazilian states initiate their policies to support clusters. The analysis of how these policies were implemented in the states of South-Central Brazil is the main purpose of this paper which also analyzes the guiding criteria of the selection 01locused c1usters by the policies, as well as the scope, institutionalities and deployed instruments to carry out the support lor clusters. The main typologies 01 c1usters, whose locus is on policy objectives, conslitute the analylical framework to assess how the policies to support clusters have been developed in some Brazilian states. The assessment undertaken in this work underscores, as main conclusion, a significant diversity in state policies to support clusters.
