Socializing Knowledge and Reducing Regional Inequalities: Strategies for Brazil
By, Diogo André de Assumpção, Grupo Interagir
This work sets out to explore the Brazilian information society and sustainable development programs, in an effort to locate intersection points and to identify how information society polices can collaborate in the reduction of regional inequalities in Brazil. Knowledge appears to be an essential factor in stimulating social and economic development. The socialization of knowledge appears to be a process capable of making specific knowledge accessible and available where it can be useful and necessary. Reducing regional inequalities is possible if there is a commitment to development as well as sustainability throughout the whole of society, based on the concepts of sustainable development and aligned with the possibilities of the information society and the diffusion of knowledge.
