Abstract

Special Economic Zones, which are areas designed for the development of industrial activity with tax benefits defined in specific legislation, were created in Brazil with the purpose of developing specific country areas with distinct results. This study proposes strategies for economic and sustainable development that enable competitive advantage creation in order to minimize weaknesses and maximize potentialities found in the Special Economic Zones. In this sense, the authors carry out an analysis in theoretical bases based on regional data, focusing on issues that may constitute an obstacle to the development process designed for these areas, as well as proposing paths that can enhance their development, aligned with the regional, cultural, economic, and environmental context. In analyzing the strategies about Manaus Free Trade Zone, it can be observed that the environmental perspective assumes a preponderant and highly relevant role. Its main weakness is too much emphasis on economic development and little concern with environmental issues in a region with strong ecological expression.
