Outra Verdade Inconveniente – a nova geografia política da energia numa perspectiva subalterna

Abstract

This article analyzes the new geopolitical configuration around the transition of the energy matrix from fossil fuels (such as coal and petroleum) to biomass (such as agro-combustibles ethanol and biodiesel). This text shows how Brazil positions itself as part of the new technical-scientific-agro-industrial-financial-military-mediator world power block, and how social movements elaborate new formulations for old and new topics such as agricultural reform.
