THE PORT EXPANSION OF SÃO LUÍS ISLAND – MARANHÃO

The article polemizes the port expansion and the transformations resulting from this enterprise in the capital of Maranhão. The analysis highlights the external character of the commodity business in the export dynamics and the conflicting interdependence with the city. To this end, we carried out a literature review with authors who dealt with the issue on screen. We have obtained documents of technical origin about the Port Complex and we have local observations and contacts with leaders of neighborhoods affected by the expansion process of the Port Complex, in order to describe the contradictions of the port complex.
