Deforestation and the ideologies of the frontier expansion: the case of criticism of the Brazilian Amazon monitoring program

Abstract: In this article, we present some facts to contextualize the recent attacks against the Brazilian Amazon Monitoring Project carried out by the Brazilian government on the question of deforestation rates. We argue that these attacks represent a symptom of fundamental aspects of the case that need a sociological analysis of the ideologies that justify the reproduction of inequalities in the expansion of the frontier, as well as the influence that the beneficiaries of this process have acquired within the national… Show more

“…Monitoring and oversight, according to Araújo and Vieira (2019), in the Amazon region due to its vast geographical area, combined with often remote and hard-to-reach conditions, hampers the implementation of more comprehensive monitoring and oversight systems. Additionally, Mikkonen et al (2023) state that the lack of resources and the vastness of the territory make effective control of illegal activities difficult, also posing a challenge to the management and control of conservation units.…”

“…El caos de tierras y el mercado de tierras son expresiones de contextos más profundos en los que los fundamentos estructurales de los estados capturados, que actúan bajo la hegemonía de fuerzas económicas específicas, convierten las tierras y los recursos amazónicos en subsidios críticos para las economías nacionales. En Brasil, dadas las tendencias de desindustrialización y la creciente dependencia de la exportación de materias primas para asegurar un crecimiento económico políticamente aceptable, la hegemonía de los intereses agroindustriales y mineros ha profundizado su influencia en la formación y el uso de las capacidades estatales 19-21. La producción de tierras en la Amazonía es, por tanto, un tema de gran relevancia estratégica, permitiendo la formación de "coaliciones del pillaje" 11,12,22 para fortalecer sus mecanismos operativos a niveles locales, asumiendo formas de arreglos locales específicos que articulen la esfera institucional con el ámbito de la producción de tierras y bienes 4 .…”
