Da fronteira à sustentabilidade?: o caso de Paragominas-PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-10-11) GALVÃO, Igor Maurício Freitas; ROCHA, Gilberto de Miranda; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2436176783315749
Paragominas has made a pole of the frontier expansion in the Amazon, experiencing a model of development guided by the search of economic growth along its History. This model has been featured by the expansion of economic fronts, notedly, the livestock activity and timber extraction, which generated an economic growth linked to social problems and environment degradation. Since the last decade of this century there have been changes on this case scenario, with alterations on the productive basis and meaningful improvements on the town's natural resources management. The "Paragominas Green Town Project", which started in 2008, is considered as a historic fact that traces the transition from the frontier economy to a sustainable development model. The current study demonstrate that the changes seen in the town happened before this historic fact and have occurred because of variations on the economic viability of the developed activities and/or for reasons due to the new global economy consumption pattern, as characteristics of a new Amazon frontier stage. On the new Paragominas frontier stage, despite the environmental and ecological dimensions growth, there remain the challenges of a promotion to a more democratic natural resources access, a better generated riches distribution and a better quality of life for its citizens, problems linked to the social dimension of a wider development process, that feature indeed, a model of sustainability.

O Dendê na Amazônia: reflexo socioeconômico, crescimento de cidades e dinâmica espacial do desmatamento no polo de produção do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-05-25) FERREIRA, Susane Cristini Gomes; CARVALHO, André Cutrim; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1089731342748216; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0936-9424; AZEVEDO-RAMOS, Claudia; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1968630321407619
The cultivation of oil palm in the Amazon was conceived as a policy to promote biofuels associated with inclusive and sustainable local development, especially in rural areas. Studies involving oil palm plantations in the state of Pará, a producer hub, focus on the rural socio-environmental impacts of the crop, highlighting aspects such as changes in land use and socio-economic implications for family farmers. However, the expressive growth of oil palm in Pará cannot be dissociated from its impact on municipalities and, mainly, cities that develop around this culture. The potential of this export-oriented agricultural system to generate externalities that lead to urban and non-agricultural economic growth, and to cause potential spillovers from deforestation to neighboring municipalities is still little known. In this study, the social consequences, the growth of cities and the spatial dynamics of deforestation in the production pole of the state of Pará were evaluated. Specifically, the objective was: (1) To review and evaluate the main public policies that encouraged the cultivation of oil palm in the Amazon and the socio-environmental effects of these plantations in the northeast of Pará, specifically in the microregion of Tomé-Açu; (2) Assess the spillover effects of oil palm production in the largest Brazilian producing region, focusing on the urban and non-agricultural impact on economic growth, demography and the labor market in the period from 2002 to 2017; and (3) Investigate the spatial-temporal dynamics of deforestation in the oil palm agribusiness hub through empirical evidence on the importance of neighborhood effects (spatial effect) in the response to deforestation in the state's oil palm producing municipalities in the period between 2003 and 2017. To meet the first objective, this study carried out a documentary analysis for the period 2005 to 2016, in which family farmers were satisfied with the income from the production of oil palm fruits, while there were non-conformities between the original sustainability guidelines and the social inclusion provided for in government programs to encourage oil palm production, which suggests a lack of monitoring and inspection by the State. The second objective was achieved through econometric data analysis on a random effect panel and with structural break analysis. The results showed that the oil palm activity fostered non-agricultural sectors (eg, service sectors), contributing to the formal non-agricultural labor market, generating taxes in the surrounding cities and industrial dynamization, mainly from 2010, coinciding with the period implementation of the incentive policy. The third objective was achieved via spatial lag models. The results showed changes in the variables correlated with deforestation over the period studied. Before the incentive policy (Sustainable Palm Oil Production Program - PPSOP), pasture area was directly correlated and GDP per capita was inversely correlated with deforestation. Oil palm production was not correlated with deforestation. In the year of launch of the PPSOP, the number of inhabitants was strongly correlated with deforestation, probably associated with an increase in immigration rates. In the post-PPSOP period, the value of oil palm production was negatively correlated with deforestation. Therefore, in the period studied, oil palm did not affect deforestation or was associated with its reduction. After the PPSOP, once again, pasture area was positively correlated and GDP per capita was negatively correlated with deforestation. Furthermore, the spatial dynamics of deforestation showed that neighboring municipalities influenced deforestation behavior mainly through two types of classifications: high (High-High) and low (Low-Low) deforestation. The general conclusion of this study was that oil palm has generated economic growth in the surrounding cities, contributing to the reduction of deforestation in the production hub of Pará, but still with difficulties in the mechanisms of social inclusion advocated by the incentive policies. The spatial effect, represented here by the interaction of deforestation rates between neighboring municipalities, proved to be a relevant factor in the investigation of deforestation dynamics in the region. Given the observed intersectorial links and lesser environmental impact on remaining forests, it constitutes a promising economic activity for the region, although with a potential effect on other variables that produce negative externalities. The limitations imposed by the scope of this study keep open the understanding of other dimensions of sustainability pursued by policies to encourage oil palm. Strengthening the sector's competitiveness and permanent monitoring of the direct and indirect socio-environmental impacts of oil palm production could contribute to promoting improvements in the development indicators of the region of production.

Ensaios sobre distribuição, mudanças climáticas e produtividade no Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-03-06) LIMA, Andressa Magalhães; ALENCAR, Douglas Alcântara; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6019986023580234; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6077-998X
The dissertation addresses two articles that investigate different aspects of Brazilian economic growth and its relationship with factors such as income distribution and pollution. These studies offer an in-depth analysis of Brazil's economic dynamics, highlighting the importance of understanding the complex interactions between economic and environmental variables. The first article, titled "Brazilian Economic Growth in Light of Post-Keynesian Theory of Functional Income Distribution", examines the application of post-Keynesian theory to understand whether Brazil's economic growth between 2003 and 2015 was driven by wages or profits. The analysis concludes that the period in question was characterized by profit-led growth. The second article, "Growth, Productivity Regime and Pollution Applied to the Brazilian Economy from 1980-2016", explores how pollution, especially CO2 emissions, influence Brazilian economic growth within the context of post-Kaleckian growth regimes. It is concluded that the concentration of pollution has a negative impact on labor productivity, leading to a Brazilian economy under a profit-led growth regime during the period from 1980 to 2016. Both articles contribute to a deeper understanding of the determinants of Brazilian economic growth and offer important insights for the formulation of public policies aimed at sustainable and inclusive development. In short, the dissertation provides a comprehensive and multifaceted analysis of the challenges and opportunities faced by the Brazilian economy in its search for balanced and environmentally responsible economic growth.

This master’s degree dissertation presents as the main goal to analyse which is the productive inclusion conception. It’s distinguished because of strength work qualification action. These actions increased and became more frequently during Lula’s Government, in 2003, and were handed by Combat Against Hungriness, Social and Development Ministery, as a contracditory assay of economics development and combat against the poorness in Brazil. Concern to our specific aims, we try to analyse in which moment the productive inclusion begins being spread by Brazilian Federal Government; we also investigated official documents of Brazilian Government as well as those of International Institutions that are related to the term productive inclusion. We also analysed official documents in order to understand which concepts of productive inclusion the ministry takes. Our methodological treatment with our study object was done through qualitative approach, guided by documental and bibliographic research. So, we tried to understand productive inclusion conception by analyzing 13 (thirteen) documents as well as electronic information at the web sites of institutions like MTE, CEPAL and MDS. The results of our research allow us to conclude that productive inclusion handed by PT (Workers Party) government (Lula Silva and Dilma Rousseff) is supported by an ideological speech of citizenship, social inclusion, economics growing, leadership, development of attributes that take part on the role of professional education and qualification that insert poor people in the job market. So, we conclude that these conceptions and terms are able to hide structural unemployment, work’s exploration, social differences. At the same time these conceptions raise, through the insert of this population in the capital’s world, the acceptance their general position into this society: the superpopulation that capitalism accumulation needs.

Plano Amazônia Sustentável e desenvolvimento desigual
(2014-09) MADEIRA, Welbson do Vale
This paper is an analysis of the Sustainable Amazon Region Plan as well as its connections governmental policies and programs designed to foster economic growth in Brazil. First of all, a discussion is presented concerning the institutionalization of the notion of "sustainable development" and its adoption by governments, companies and non-governmental organizations. In a second moment the changings in the Amazon region from the 1980 decade is studied in addition to the importance of the region to Brazilian economy and also to world economy in a time of globalization. Finally, the Sustainable Amazon Region Plan is presented. It is argued that this plan is subject to the dynamics of capital accumulation, and also that the infrastructure designed by the government for the goal of sustainable development is aimed primarily at large scale projects - fact which implies continuity of the model adopted within this policy with previous models of development plans or policies. In such a scenario, the exploration of natural resources and of the so-called 'environmental services' continue to favor the profit of mighty wealthy capitalist companies and economic groups, and deepen a pattern of uneven development.
