The region of Caxias do Sul is among the largest industrial center in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, second only to the Metropolitan Area of Porto Alegre.Its economic relevance, based on sectors such as metalworking and automotive, furniture and food processing and manufacturing, persists even after Brazil's trade opening in the 1990s.This research aims to analyze the question of the industrialization of Caxias do Sul drawing on the theory of uneven development, advanced in its most refined version by David Harvey.According to this theoretical framework, uneven geographical development is an expression of capitalist accumulation and results in the tendency towards a concentration of resources and wealth (productive forces) in nodal points of space that contrast with other, less prosperous areas in economic terms.There is, following Harvey, a universal logic that permeates the different scales of the global reproduction of capitalist society and produces the socio-spatial differentiations as an inherent element of its dynamic.Thus the central aim of this research is to understand the formation of a regionality of capitalist accumulation by analyzing the automotive and metalworking industry in the municipality of Caxias do Sul, as well as to highlight the risks and contradictions of this process.To do so, we focused on the vulnerabilities of the regional productive specialization and the strategies pursued by firms in this sector to keep competitive in a new business environment marked by strong foreign competition.We also emphasized the role of ideological representations in reproducing a relative stability and coherence in the region in a context of disorganizing and restructuring forces brought by globalization
