SUMMARY:

This thesis examines the relationships between neoliberalism, Florestania, and the agribusiness developed in the Amazon region and specifically in the state of Acre. The study was conducted based on the reality of Acre and the way Florestania was conceived, implemented, and the possible outcomes, which is the main objective. This is a qualitative research study as it sought to understand the perceptions and understandings of Florestania and neoliberalism within the Amazon context. Public and private documents, analysis of books, scientific articles, and academic publications on the topic were utilized. The research problem consists of answering the following question: Can Florestania be considered a neoliberal policy, given the way it was implemented? The thesis is structured into four chapters. Initially, historical aspects related to the Amazon, Florestania, and Neoliberalism were discussed, with it being of paramount importance to understand that the biome has existed for over 11,000 years. History allows us to transcend contemporary narratives promoted by major media outlets, which polarize information without considering the peculiarities of the Amazon. The second chapter aimed to perform a critical and comprehensive analysis of the Florestania policy in Acre, which was implemented over the last three decades. The research focused on understanding the origin and development of this policy, its characteristics, and the influence it had on the state's trajectory. In the third chapter, the concept of Florestania was contextualized based on the reality of Resex (Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve) and the research line of Law Found on the Street. Resex is a protected territorial area aimed at preserving the way of life and culture of traditional communities, ensuring the sustainable use of local natural resources, which aligns with the ideal of Florestania. This ideal seeks to promote citizenship for forest peoples and the construction of a new social and natural pact, in which humanity relates to the environment in a respectful and healthy manner, in line with the principles of sustainable development. Lastly, the fourth chapter analyzed the expansion of agribusiness in the Legal Amazon, with an emphasis on the state of Acre. It is argued that the national integration policy, implemented during the military regime, played a crucial role in stimulating the occupation of the region and the growth of agricultural and livestock activities. Another objective was to highlight viable paths and concrete elements, with the purpose of investigating new strategies and innovative solutions to overcome environmental obstacles and promote a harmonious coexistence between society and the environment, aiming to establish a future where the relationship between humanity and nature is balanced and sustainable. The research revealed that Florestania was entirely dependent on financial resources, both national and international, to achieve its objectives. This led the state of Acre to incur debts that negatively impact its current investment capacity, due to the financial charges resulting from the loans obtained, many of which are still in effect.
