The State and its reasons: the 2 nd PND.This paper intends to contribute to the debate on the reasons why the Geisel administration chose -as it faced an adverse conjuncture -an accelerated growth agenda which was materialized in the 2 nd PND (National Development Plan).In order to do so, it resorts to a methodological definition which is based upon an institutionalist approach and favors the interaction between the political and the economic variables.Contradicting the literature that interprets the strong presence of the State and the regional decentralization of the 2 nd PND as signs of neopatrimonialism, it is advocated that this category of analysis is inadequate to explain the government's choice, although this aspect is embedded in the Brazilian social-historical formation.The political rationality of the plan must be investigated in the conjuncture itself, marked by the liberalization project, which does not clash with the plan's economic rationality -on the contrary, it is complemented by it
