INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND AGRARIAN ISSUE: MUNDIALIZATION OF CAPITAL, AGRIBUSINESS AND LAND STRUGGLES IN PORTO NACIONAL/TOCANTINS

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the globalization of capital, its social metabolism and its guidelines for Latin America and to understand the impacts and conflicts generated by disputes, increasingly exacerbated and controversial between capital and labor. The contradictions resulting from the proposals admitted by the productive restructuring and the Brazilian State at the beginning of the neoliberal era, are reflected today through new connections and new dimensions of social struggles. To identify the structuring components of the Brazilian neoliberal state and its current stage of recomposition of economic and political forces after the coup of 2016 is to understand the meaning of the class struggle and the new centrality they occupy in the discussions about Brazilian restrictive democracy and its devices of marginalization and social exclusion. The conflicts in the field and the struggle for land, especially in the municipality of Porto Nacional/TO, are examples and a reflection of land finance, transnational engineering, state activism and the power of agribusiness in the region. This explains the need for new political, pedagogical and organizational forms as a strategy to fight the Landless Movement.
