SUMMARY:

The main objective of this work is to analyze the clashes between the agrarian extractive frontier and the socio-environmental frontier in the Southwest of Pará, in view of the successive extractive cycles that have occurred in the region throughout history and seeking to understand how the different social actors organized themselves to force a new ordering of the territory, from the socio-environmental paradigm. The work assumes the geopolitical meaning of the frontier, which is assumed as a space in incorporation into the fragmented global space, where actors, acting at different scales, dispute the territory for the implementation of different political projects. Regarding the extractive agrarian frontier in the Amazon, it was observed that extractivism presents itself as an element of interconnection and continuity between the colonial order and the neoliberal order, from the triggering of successive extractive cycles, which began with the Iberian colonization. On the side of the socio-environmental frontier, the confluence of environmentalist, peasant and indigenist fronts can be observed, which, with different origins and historical contexts, have met in the Amazon and formed a correlation of forces capable of minimally opposing the advance of the agrarian extractive frontier. It is noteworthy, however, the infiltration of different economic and geopolitical interests in the socio-environmental frontier, as nature is increasingly valued under the logic of accumulation. In the Southwest of Pará, the formation of a mosaic of protected areas can be observed, made possible by the coalition of rural workers' movements, indigenous and indigenist organizations, international environmental organizations, national NGOs, the expansion of the activities of federal agencies and the diversification of sources of international financing for socio-environmental projects. However, an agro-extractive counteroffensive was observed in the region, based on environmental, agrarian and indigenist deregulation and the dismantling of federal inspection agencies, which has led to an acceleration of the advance of all fronts that make up the agrarian extractive frontier. The role of the State is highlighted in the sense of defining the development model to be prioritized and having the legal instruments and resources necessary for its implementation. The simple surrender of the region to the fluctuations of the dynamics of the frontier will mean the definitive predominance of extractive logic, as it is what governs the current phase of the globalized economy.
