This research aimed to examine the effects of Participative Territory Planning (PTP), which presents itself as a new form of management intervention and decentralization of public policies on the dynamics of Region development in the period 2007-2010, the Region of Integration (RI) of Tocantins, which comprise of the twelve regions of
Integration of the State of Pará, being composed of a number of municipalities with
similar characteristics and have different socio-economic indicators. This tried to
determine how was the strategy of the PTP in the formulation and decentralization of public policies on regional development. To this end, we used the analytical
approach and empirical reasoning of the neo-institutionalism, theory that considers
as one of the causes of the existence of regional development institutional
transformations. Among the findings, although it was found indicators that
demonstrate the development of RI Tocantins, it appears that PTP was an innovative instrument of public policy in the State of Pará, but for lack of datum, there is no evidence that this had a direct influence on the regional development process
