Given the progress around economic development debates and their streams of thought, and given that South Korea is currently a highly socially and economically developed country, the question arises: If in the panorama of the early 1980s, South Korea had a lower per capita GDP than Brazil, and by the end of the same decade, the Asian country already had an income almost three times higher than the Brazilian one, with such difference persisting to this day, what happened in the 1980s and earlier for the fate of the two to be so different? The research seeks to conduct an analysis of developmentalist streams of thought and a comparison of policies adopted in Brazil with those adopted in South Korea, which, as is known, leveraged its economic development through interventionist policies and the adoption of national companies. Using a bibliographic research, consulting scientific articles and books published in journals, the period analyzed was from 1994 to 2021. In addition to the bibliography, a relative deindustrialization indicator will be used, using data from the World Bank, the period analyzed was from 1994 to 2021. Through these measures, it was possible to validate the results of the policies adopted by the countries and conclude how South Korea, by not accepting dependence on developed countries and adopting active industrial policies, managed to present a much higher industrial performance than Brazil.Acesso AbertoEconomia - CursoDesenvolvimento Econômico,IndustrializaçãoCoréia do SulBrasilTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoEconomia
