| dc.description.abstract | The present work aims to analyze the policies for oil in times of the governments
of Getúlio Vargas (1951-1954), Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1995-1998) and Luiz
Inácio Lula da Silva (2006-2010), moments in which established milestones in the
history of the sector: the creation of Petrobras (1953), the Petroleum Law (1997) and
the confirmation of the discovery of the pre-salt layer (2007). The starting point,
however, is the expectations created and the impacts caused by the last fact and how
the past alluding to the first appears in the speeches and in taking governmental
measures. Until then, the Lula government administered policies for the oil sector
inherited from the government that preceded it, from Fernando Henrique Cardoso
(1995-2002), in turn, changed after the publication of the Petroleum Law in 1997. This
Law defined by the opening of the capital of the state-owned oil company, Petrobras,
and the state monopoly of exploration and production of oil and gas by the state
company was extinguished, allowing the concession of exploration blocks to the
private sector, a practice maintained during part of the Lula's government and
suspended after the important discovery already mentioned. In carrying out this
analysis, the discussion about two concepts is considered: developmentalism and
neodevelopmentism, which contributes to the investigation of possible approximations
and distances between Vargas, Cardoso and Lula. Regarding the research sources,
speeches and official data, memories and bibliographic review were used. | en |
