Abstract

The aim of this paper is to outline a historical analysis of the effects of insertion of the Amazon in Pará in the international and national actions through international coordination of policies and national integration on the socio-spatial formation of the State of Pará, mainly focusing about the process of urbanization. The periodization adopted to describe and analyze the process of space-occupying territory of Para economy does not follow the criteria of the traditional product life cycles, such as the cycle of drugs from the interior, rubber, livestock, mining, but the criterion of identifying the key characteristics of the patterns of settlement and economic development in the socioeconomic determinations involving the formation of domestic and international market with the mediation of the state.
