IMPERIALISMO E A CULTURA DA SOJA: a experiência boliviana no início do século XXI.

Abstract

The present dissertation has a theoretical methodological approach based on materialism and dialectic. This paper analyzes the manifestations of transnational capital in the production and commercialization of soybeans in Bolivia, with the objective of ascertaining the pertinence of the categories imperialism and sub-imperialism, the patterns of dependent development in Bolivia, and the determinants and limits of soybean expansion parents. To this end, we seek to understand, in the light of Marxist theory, the process of business growth throughout the twentieth century, a period in which there is a strengthening of imperialist practices around the world, and consequently the emergence of large companies. We then seek to understand the International Labor Division in the context of the Amazonian countries. And finally, we take with empirical reference the production of soy in Bolivia as a reflection of the movement of monopoly capital, and the contradictions of the Plurinational State, under the aegis of living well.
