Políticas públicas, corredores de exportação, modernização portuária, industrialização e impactos territoriais e ambientais no município de Barcarena, Pará

Abstract

This paper argues the industrial concentration, increasing and modernization port dynamics in the Barcarena municipality, State of Pará, Brazil. Specifically, it discusses the structural causes of these dynamics, and the qualitative and quantitative changes at local, concern to spatial, social, demographic and environmental aspects. Different times of production and export of mineral commodities (kaolin, bauxite and products originated of her – alumina, aluminum) in the Brazilian Eastern Amazon led to installation, consolidation and expansion of a industrial and port district at Barcarena. In the current decade, Barcarena District is part of national and global corridors (exports, circulation) or productive systems. However, dynamics that sustain economic growth have no prospects to led social and rooted development; establishment of competitive advantages on systemic basis; neither contribute to reverse social and environmental impacts.
