Dinâmica fronteiriça entre Guiana e Brasil: um estudo sobre comércio-formiga

Abstract

This research deals with the dynamic border between Brazil and Guyana, considering the implications of the ant trade between the twin cities of Bonfim, the brazilian side, and Lethem, Guyana's side. These are conceptual questions of border territory, trade, security and surveillance along the border. Also seeks to make a historical analysis of the Brazilian geopolitical concern to understand the current context of Brazil's borders and how to best take advantage of the strategic location of the state of Roraima, which has its boundaries with two countries, which, well explored, can contribute to the economic development of the State. It is a complex and intriguing topic for any researcher and involves issues of safety, protection and occupation of Brazilian territory. Consists of a large mailing widely studied by several authors who sought to discuss government policies regarding the borders, so it is a topic that is far from exhausted. This research is just a point of discussion and understanding of the trade-named ant, well organized and properly supervised, can boost the fragile economy of this State.
