“…It is a fact' (Chade, 2008). While actual BNDES lending was not nearly as large as Brazil suggested (Hochstetler and Montero, 2013), the sums still mattered and the threat of losing access to an affordable credit source carried weight, particularly as Venezuelan financing in the region declined with the price of oil.…”

A central challenge confronting Brazilian foreign policy is its reluctance to accept measures that might restrict national autonomy. This limits the extent to which Brazil can lead and leverage the region, particularly in the face of competing visions such as ALBA and the Pacific Alliance. The issues is Brazil's continued reliance on a consensual hegemony approach to regional relations after neighbouring countries opened space for a more assertive leadership closer to Pedersen's model of cooperative hegemony. Although consensual hegemony allowed Brazil to establish its project in South America, by the end of Lula's first presidential term more was being demanded and the failure to provide leadership goods weakened Brazil's regional position. Current questioning of Brazilian leadership on the continent is found in an almost contradictory approach that sees Brazilian diplomats pushing away suggestions of assertive leadership while more concrete action is quietly taken by other regionally engaged sections of the Brazilian state.

“…While developmentalist ideas -prevalent in Brazil and Latin America from the 1930s to the 1980s (Schneider 1999) -were never completely replaced by the neoliberal ideology that took hold in Brazil from 1995 to 2002 under President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, they were reinvigorated by the Lula administration and adapted for a more market-oriented and globalized economy (Hochstetler and Montero 2013). President Lula's flagship development program, the Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento (PAC -Growth Acceleration Program), sought to bolster Brazil's infrastructure system while creating jobs.…”

“…However, President Lula's election also led to a renewed interest in an aggressive developmental strategy (Hochstetler and Montero 2013), which promoted state intervention in economic and industrial growth by building linkages between the state and private enterprises (Johnson 1982).

“…Hochstetler and Montero (2013), for instance, argue that Brazil's recent industrial policy should be understood more as the scaling-up of a gradual state-led strategy aiming to align the country within a more globalized economy than as a clean restart. Through a comparative analysis of policy documents and programmes since Brazil's re-democratization in 1985, the authors show that the central idea of the state playing a strategic role in promoting industrial development and upgrades never disappeared, even if strategies of implementation sometimes shifted.…”

“…For example, Hochstetler and Montero (2013) showed that BNDES's more than 2,100 loans from 2002 to 2011 favoured a few big companies, with ten companies receiving 21.3 per cent of the total loan amount. Musacchio and Lazzarini (2014) A frequent criticism in these studies is that Brazilian industrial policy subsidizes consolidated companies that are solid enough to borrow funds in regular financial markets rather than supporting new and innovative sectors.…”

Amidst analyses of industrial policy's renaissance in Latin America, Brazil is often hailed as the paragon of this movement. The mix of old and new institutions and instruments would constitute a unique effort in promoting industrial development in the post-neoliberal period. However, this experience has been followed by middling results of industrial performance. Reviewing an emerging literature about the institutionalization and results of the Brazilian industrial policy, we argue that important aspects of path-dependency have been ignored. Organizational and ideational resistance have led to a much more traditional and conservative industrial policy than would be expected. Grounded historical analysis about intragovernment conflicts, combined with studies about policy and sectoral developments, could give us elements to better assess the failures and achievements of the Brazilian case. Keywords: industrial policy, Brazil, path dependency, innovation, institutions.Resumen: Avances y retrocesos: Una evaluación de la política industrial brasileña en el siglo XXI A la luz de diversos análisis sobre el renacimiento de la política industrial en América Latina, Brasil es frecuentemente alabado como el país arquetipo de la mencionada coyuntura. La combinación de instituciones e instrumentos antiguos y modernos constituiría un singular esfuerzo para promover el desarrollo industrial en el periodo post-neoliberal. Sin embargo, la consecución de dicha experiencia fueron mediocres resultados de actividad industrial. Habiendo efectuado un examen de reciente literatura sobre la institucionalización y los resultados de la política industrial brasileña, sostenemos que, en dicho material, han sido ignorados importantes aspectos de la dependencia de la trayectoria (path-dependency). Resistencia organizativa y de formación de ideas han conducido a la implementación de una política industrial mucho más tradicional y conservadora de lo que se hubiera esperado. Un profundo
