Abstract

During the first two decades of the twenty-first century, the Paraguayan Chaco suffered profound social, productive, and ecological transformations due to investments that, through deforestation, expanded the agricultural frontier for the production of livestock and grains. This article analyzes the factors that made the Paraguayan Chaco an attractive location for capitalist expansion as well as the historical characteristics of this passage of land into foreign hands. The major findings demonstrate that this movement of capital is due to the Chaco’s situation as a commodities frontier area with policies favorable to foreign investment in Paraguay, making it a haven for foreign capital. En las primeras décadas del siglo XXI el Chaco paraguayo atravesó profundas transformaciones sociales, productivas y ecológicas con la expansión de inversores que, deforestación mediante, expandieron la frontera agropecuaria para la producción de ganado y granos. Este artículo analiza qué motivos volvieron al Chaco paraguayo un destino atractivo para la expansión capitalista y qué particularidades históricas tiene este proceso de extranjerización de la tierra. Los principales resultados muestran que este movimiento de capitales resulta de la condición de frontera de commodities del Chaco y de las políticas favorables a la inversión extranjera en Paraguay que lo vuelven un refugio para capitales extranjeros.
外资在巴拉圭查科
在二十一世纪的头二十年里,巴拉圭查科地区经历了深刻的社会、生产和生态变革,这些变革源于通过砍伐森林扩大农业疆域以生产牲畜和谷物的投资。本文分析了使巴拉圭查科成为资本主义扩张的一个有吸引力的地点的因素,以及土地落入外国手中的历史特点。主要研究结果表明,这种资本流动是由于查科是商品前沿地区,巴拉圭实行有利于外国投资的政策,使其成为外国资本的避风港。21 世纪头几十年,随着投资者的扩张,巴拉圭查科地区经历了深刻的社会、生产和生态变革,他们通过砍伐森林,扩大了畜牧业和粮食生产的农业边界。本文分析了使巴拉圭查科成为资本主义扩张的一个有吸引力的目的地的原因,以及这一土地让渡过程的历史特殊性。主要结果表明,资本的这种流动是查科作为商品前沿的地位和巴拉圭有利于外国投资的政策使其成为外国资本避风港的结果。
