| Summary: | This essay discusses concepts of territoriality and territorial management and proposes new studies to obtain a deeper understanding about the process of contemporary territorial transformation in the Amazon. It questions governmental planning based on the concept of macro-regions, and argues for the necessity of public policies formulated for geographical scales adequate to territorialized social processes. In the case of the Amazon, government policies and planning should take into consideration two vectors of regional transformation which express the transitional contemporary structure of the State and of territory: the techno-industrial vector and the techno-ecological vector.
