- Abstract
The paper analyzes the advance of international capital in the management of industrial complexes engaged in the production of ethanol, sugar and electricity in Brazil and, in the state of Goiás in particular. In order to analyze the socioenvironmental impacts of the development of the sugarcane industry, the study investigated the establishment of sugarcane industries in the state of Goiás, especially in the municipality of Edéia. This region experienced the expansion and internationalization of the sugarcane industry, as part of the 'Third March to the West', during which the industrial estate established therein was acquired by the English group British Petroleum (BP). The data presented in this article highlight the increase in the flow of international capital investment in the sugarcane industry in the state of Goiás, which is in consonance with the rate of national increase.
