Movement of livestock production within a country or region has implications for genetics, adaptation, well-being, nutrition, and production logistics, particularly in continental-sized countries, such as Brazil. Cattle production in Brazil from 1977 to 2011 was spatialized, and the annual midpoint of production was calculated. Changes in the relative production and acceleration of production were calculated and spatialized using ARCGIS®. Cluster and canonical discriminant analyses were performed to further highlight differences between regions in terms of cattle production. The mean production point has moved from the Center of Minas Gerais State (in the southeast region) to the North of Goiás State (in the Midwest region). This reflects changes in environmental factors, such as pasture type, temperature and humidity. Acceleration in production in the northern region of Brazil has remained strong over the years. More recently, “traditional” cattle-rearing regions, such as the south and southeast, showed a reduction in growth rates as well as a reduction in herd size or internal migration over the period studied. These maps showed that this movement tends to be gradual, with few regions showing high acceleration or deceleration rates.

As políticas públicas e sociais possuem fatores históricos que culminaram naformatação atual e detêm relevante papel nos Estados democráticos contemporâneos. Este estudo tem o objetivo de ressaltar a importância das políticas públicas no quesito social e como ocorre a sua formação. Como procedimentos metodológicos, realiza um estudo bibliográfico sobre a trajetória por trás das políticas voltadas para o âmbito social. Ressalta, também, os envolvidos na criação e nas distintas modalidades assumidas por essas políticas. Observa que houve uma transformação histórica na conceituação e criação das políticas públicas atuais.Palavras-chave: Políticas sociais, mudanças sociaism Estados democráticos.
