Oiapoque: uma parabólica na floresta estado, integração e conflitos no extremo Norte da Amazônia brasileira

Abstract

This project focus on a study of Oiapoque, a borough, which is located at the northernmost region of the state of Amapá, at the border with French Guyana and intends to reflect about the great infrastructure projects incidence, planned by the Iniciative for Southe American Infrastructure Integration – IIRSA, and the National Hubs of Integration and Development – ENID as well, created by the Brazilian Government to that specific Amazon territory. The study now submitted under evaluation consists of four fundamental conjectures. First, the current regional integration process isn’t antagonistic to the contemporary dynamics of the capitalistic globalization, in spite of the existing contradictions. Next, the National State are not impacted the same way by the globalization and they still keep relevant task in the international scene. Third, IIRSA and ENID are inclined to deepen the social-spatial fragmentation of the south-american countries. And finally, the construction of the bridge over the Oiapoque River and the tar macadam repair of the road BR-156 seek to assurance the competitiveness of companies with deep presence in the international market, or those of which intends to join it and the natural resources access and control by the great capital. This situation results in a compulsory integration of Oiapoque to the regional integration dynamics.
