L'État brésilien et l'environnement en Amazonie : évolutions, contradictions et conflits

Abstract

While the Brazilian government recognises the fragility of the environment of the Amazon region in official speeches, what of official policies? To analyse the spatial structures produced by those policies in the Amazon territory, the authors review the main vectors of the government's action. This review pinpoints the contradictions between different public policies, conflicts between public policies and the main axes of the Amazon in the past, the present and the foreseeable future.
