Summary: In this work we will present the Geisel government’s attempt to relaunch a broad development program with profound structural changes in the national economy, the Second National Development Plan (II PND). We hypothesize that the plan main goal was to better position the country in the competitive international geo-economic order. For that, two objectives are presented. The first is to analyze the “development” theme, which has been re-read and adapted since the Costa e Silva government, since the DSN (National Security Doctrine) needed to be updated to the world and national conjuncture of the 1970s. is to show that, in order to achieve the ambitious Plan, Geisel has adopted an autonomous foreign policy in order to represent national interests in accordance with development goals. Thus, the article is divided into two sections, in addition to an introduction and conclusion: in the first, we present the international context; in the second, we analyze the II PND in detail and its strategic developments.
