The APL is studied part of a global economic context of profound changes Competition, as approaches such as cooperation and innovation technology became both analytical instruments as essential for policy formulation. The conceptual basis used on clusters came from work and pioneering studies of the Research Network on Local Productive and Innovative Systems / RedeSist, a group interdisciplinary research at the Institute of Economics Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, which has working in partnership with several universities and research institutes in Brazil and abroad and has wire as methodological studies of identification and developing the concept of arrangements and systems local production. This study addressed the following issues: i) What is the advantage in perspective socioeconomic status, a change in the flow of trade in Local Production? And ii) that policies local development would integrate the production of APLs Pernambuco and Bahia, the economic states. The answers to problems, as well as the goals of research, are based on secondary data (literature and documents) that seek to deepen the thematic Local Production, Local Development, Policy and Trade Flows in particular, understanding aspects and relationships which are not always natural systematized and analyzed with the appropriate instruments analytical.
