Uma Análise dos indicadores socioeconômicos do estado de Alagoas nos períodos dos governos FHC e Lula

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the socioeconomic indicators of the state of Alagoas from the governments of former presidents Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1995-2002) and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010), as well as the social policies adopted in both governments and how they have had an impact in the periods examined. This research is analytical and its objectives and procedures are qualitative and quantitative approaches, such as HDI and Gini index, based on a review of the literature that considers analyzes of the two governments. For this, it was necessary to study the concept of socioeconomic development based on such theoreticians as Amartya Sen, Bresser-Pereira and Celso Furtado. An approach was also taken on Dependency Theory, which has as one of its authors the former president FHC, who we compare with the politics as president. The results presented were mostly an improvement in all indicators, for both periods, however, when the second government was compared with the first one, it obtained much more significant results.
