While the former “market reserve policy” has been widely studied, the impacts of more recent policy have not yet been fully analyzed3. This article is a further contribution to the evaluation of this policy from the point of view of IT diffusion, the development Local industry, technological capabilities, and foreign trade4. It argues that despite the fact that Brazil did not become an international player in global IT markets, continued state involvement has produces substantial fruits. It has revealed local capabilities in areas that require highly skilled professionals rather than unskilled labor, as the conventional international product cycle in the international division of labor would suggest. Greenhouse policy in the past led the Brazilian IT sector to invest “significantly in the accumulation of technological capabilities and develop important backward linkages”. The use-supplier relations established by local firms in areas like banking automation still engender important research and development (R & D) efforts, contributing to the diffusion of IT in line with local needs. Also, the previous existence of both industrial capacity and a skilled workforce has become a driving force in attracting new foreign direct investment in IT production in Brazil to serve the Latin American market. 46.
