The literature on the new regionalism has highlighted the leading role played by regions in the contemporary process of state rescaling and the governance of policy-making. We argue that a (re)politicisation of North-east Brazil and the emergence of a new left regionalism are underway. We examine the political and socioeconomic circumstances of this process through the creation of the Interstate Consortium for the Sustainable Development of the North-east. We conclude that while many challenges still lie ahead, this experience has demonstrated potential for the coherence of policies, and for constituting new political actors and arenas for the concertation of interests.

巴西“新左翼区域主义”空间政策制定的创造性战略：在东北地区与不平等和 COVID-19 作斗争

关于新区域主义的文献强调了区域在当代国家规模调整和政策制定治理过程中发挥的主导作用。我们认为，巴西东北部的（重新）政治化和新的左翼区域主义正在出现。我们通过创建东北地区可持续发展州际联盟来审视这一过程的政治和社会经济环境。我们得出的结论是，尽管前方仍有许多挑战，但这一经验表明，政策的连贯性以及构建新的政治行动者和利益协调的舞台的潜力。
