A internacionalização da Odebrecht no capitalismo dependente brasileiro

Abstract

This work aimed to understand, in the light of the theoretical contributions of Florestan Fernandes and the Marxist Dependency Theory, the type of relation established between companies that were internationalized in the first decade of the 21st century – Odebrecht, particularly – and the Brazilian National State in establishing the necessary conditions for the compliance of the internationalization strategies. In this way, we have historically located the nuances of the Brazilian capitalism of the last three decades, its specified forms of reproduction of the capital and how they dialectically helped to constitute the necessary institutionality for the large business conglomerates internalization strategies to be implemented. We made a permanent debate between sociological theory and concrete reality expressed in the relation of Odebrecht with the State, which is documented in governamental incentive policies’ abroad investiment and in the direct action of the Brazilian State in promoting internationalization through its chancellery.
