Conteúdo: 	This dissertation analyzes the role of the state in the economic transformation of three regions of irrigated agriculture in the Sao Francisco River Basin in Northeast Brazil. It focuses on understanding the reasons why only one of these regions (Petrolina-Juazeiro) successfully turned into a modern agricultural economy based on high quality, non-traditional export crops, at the same time that wages  and labor standards among rural wage workers increased without compromising the access of producers to export markets, and in spite of all three regions having received similiar heavy government investments in large-scale irrigation infrastructure. Findings show that the economic transformation of Petrolina-Juazeiro does not relate to market-friendly policies, nor can it be fully explained by government investments in public goods (irrigation infrastructure) or the influence of good leadership at the local level. The key role of the state consisted of federal government agencies applying innovative practices in three major areas: 1) the management of large-scale irrigation investments, including the type of beneficiaries selected, the management of subsidies to irrigation, and the pressures on growers who received subsidies to perform well; 2) the relationship with growers' associations to solve collective action problems associated with exporting; 3) the introduction of high-value crops and new technologies among small tenants in goverment-sponsored irrigation schemes; and 4) wage negotiations between growers and rural wage workers.
