Estrangeirização: a dimensão geopolítica, imperial e neoliberal do Golpe que eclodiu em 2016 no Brasil

Abstract

This article is a result of an investigation made by the members of the Research Project “Geopolítica e Territórios” for the lecture “A dimensão Geopolítica do Golpe: produção de narrativas e processos imediatos de desnacionalização/ estrangeirização”, part of the subject “O Impeachment de Dilma Rousseff como Golpe de Estado: Perspectivas jurídicas, filosóficas, políticas e históricas”, coordinated by professor Thomas Bustamante, from Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, during the second semester of the year of 2018. The material produced for the lecture had a geopolitical analysis of the Coup suffered in Brazil and consolidated in the form of an Impeachment of President Dilma Roussef in 2016. Part of this production was organized and registered in this text. The main basis in witch this study stands is the understanding that Brazil is a territory in dispute by many different international agents that had direct influence in the construction of the Coup. Geopolitical hegemonic blocs act weakening the national powers of peripheral countries disrespecting their sovereignty, with the purpose of accumulating riches by global elites within a neoliberal logic. It is understood that, for the development of a geopolitical analysis of this depth, some key concepts have to be addressed in order to elucidate the hypotheses constructed by the group. Thus, the first part of both works is formed by some kind of glossary destined for a theoretical debate concerning the terms Geopolitics, Globalization, Neoliberalism, Empire, Imperialism and Eurasia. After such approach and elucidation, the text heads to the second stage of the process that rely on the construction of 13 hypotheses about what is understood as an international Coup divided in six theme categories: Geopolitics, Corruption, Financerization, Social Politics, Representational Crisis/aint politics, Foreignization. Such hypotheses were elaborated having as a principle the speech of President Dilma in the inaugural lecture of the Conference here addressed, from which the elements linked to the themes of geopolitics and neoliberalism were highlighted. Parts of this speech were transcripted and are registered in this article linked to the corresponding hypotheses. It is worth to emphasize that during the exposition made in the conference the 13 hypotheses were addressed, however four of them were selected to be addressed in this material, for being considered fundamental for the comprehension of an international Coup. Them being: HYPOTHESIS 01: The Coup is to interrupt the dispute of Brazil for the hegemony in global geopolitics; HYPOTHESIS 06: The Coup is financial; and hypotheses 12 and 13 that were condensed, forming HYPOTHESIS 12/13: The Coup is to foreignize/privatize the natural resources, state-owned companies and also (foreignize) private companies.
