A Nova Economia Política do Desenvolvimento: A Teoria das Ordens Sociais e a Análise do Desenvolvimento numa Perspectiva Historiográfica by Dualyson de Abreu Borba, Eduardo José Monteiro da Costa

“…Trata-se de um aporte teórico inovador, pouco explorado no Brasil, que busca compreender o desenvolvimento a partir de um espectro progressivo de ordens sociais (primitivas, de acesso fechado e de acesso aberto), porém, sem estatuir um caráter linear ou teleológico ao respectivo itinerário. Para tanto, partindo de elementos consagrados pelo escopo neoinstitucionalista, a referida teoria questiona pressupostos relativos aos modelos clássicos de Estado, apresentando, em contraponto, um quadro analítico capaz de demonstrar de que modo a necessidade do controle da violência latente, ao longo da história, favoreceu a celebração de acordos entre as elites dominantes e como a abertura ou restrição de acesso a áreas sociais vitais, tais como política e economia, constituem a chave para explicar o sucesso ou fracasso das nações.…”
