Land Conflicts in Indigenous Territories in Rondônia due to the Expansion of Globalized Capital

Abstract

The processes of globalized capital spatialization and territorial ordering resulted in multiple conflicts. In face of such problems, this text aims to clarify and give an understanding about conflicts that occur during the process of territorial planning for Rondônia state, this being the space where development would be sought together with the protection of the environment, ethnic groups and traditional populations. As methodological assumption, bibliographical qualitative research and secondary data sources were chosen. It was concluded that the State as the organizer and manager of this space, has always brought harm to indigenous groups, since there were few dialogues with these peoples, except for the imposition of culture. The need for border protection, or economic development, has resulted in the extinction of some ethnic groups and the precariousness of others that have almost been decimated. State development was based on conflict of interest, migrant groups that needed land for work and indigenous groups that need the environment to survive.
