The main objective of this research is to analyze the institutional innovations and contradictions embedded in the territorial approach to the planning and implementation of public policies in Brazil. Since 2003, there were several programs established under the federal government based on a territorial perspective. In general, these programs have in common: to define a spatial area for its action, to prioritize areas of concentrated poverty, to work in a decentralized manner and to prioritize instances of collective deliberation and participation. However, there remain some barriers to consolidation and institutionalization of the territorial approach to state action in Brazil. It is understood that the discursive rhetoric in official documents was not accompanied by innovations in rhythm normative legitimacy. On the other hand, the current experiments have triggered good results, as the formation of new institutional arrangements and closer relations between local actors and social policy management and territorial projects.KEYWORDS: Public policy, government planning, territories of incidence, social participation, territorial development.
