Desenvolvimento subnacional e atuação política da burguesia industrial no Rio Grande do Sul durante a década de 1990

Abstract

During the 1990s, before the States nation crisis, economic openness and integration into the globalization of capital in the country, governments in Brazil have increasingly pressured by the bourgeoisie of their respective territories for the definition of strategies, to create more favorable conditions of competitiveness for the capital already located locally and to international capital invested in the country during that decade. Thus, the subnational spaces gained importance as sites of struggle, especially for the forces representing the capital. In Rio Grande do Sul, the interest in making the country competitive in attracting gaucho capital boosted the industrial bourgeoisie to a broad political mobilization in defense of an adaptation project subject to the logic of the sub-space of globalization of capital.
