Dinâmicas e circuitos produtivos industriais na região oeste de Santa Catarina: uma abordagem a partir da relação de comércio internacional Brasil - China

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the contemporary forms and dynamics of the territorial division of labor, based on the study of global and regional production circuits and their articulation with China. It is understood that the dizzying Chinese presence in global trade, especially since the beginning of the 21st century, has changed certain dynamics and promoted new networks of articulation between different globalized territories. The work intends, in this way, to articulate the national economic dynamics and the mesoregion of Western Santa Catarina with Chinese demands, aiming to understand how this relationship contributes to the formation of vulnerabilities and possibilities. To this end, the research was divided into three moments, in which considerations are made about events on a global scale, emphasizing the transformative role of China, moving on to the analysis of the national economy and its processes of deindustrialization and reprimarization of the export agenda, concluding with the insertion of the western mesoregion of Santa Catarina in new international commercial networks based on its commercial relationship with China. The methodological path outlined sought to relate events on different territorial scales, based on exploratory, quantitative and qualitative research, which sought to articulate a broad bibliographic analysis with the analysis of statistical data on the events covered. It is concluded that Chinese internal growth and its strong insertion in international trade and diplomacy, aligned with South-South cooperation and a closer relationship with Brazil, began to insert new territories and places into its production chains, aiming to meet its demands. internal markets for primary products, in which the western mesoregion of Santa Catarina is included, as an important supplier of meat, especially pork and chicken. It is understood that the greater Chinese presence has contributed to maintaining regional specialization activities, in addition to maintaining Brazil's position in the DIT. China, however, has represented new forms of international cooperation, distinct from US and European imperialism, with countless possibilities for partner countries that deserve to be better explored.
