ResumoBrazilian Society and its Space: Globalization and a National Project.Brazil is presenting large transformations in its economic, social, geographical and political structure, as an expression of its insertion in world's globalization.One mentions a number of them.As the GDP growth of the country, currently occupying the seventh place in the world.The fact that some Brazilian corporations are becoming transnational, investing even in the USA.A chamberlain competition of Brazilian enterprises at the domestic indicates sophisticated levels in cognitive cultural sectors of Brazilian society.New territorialities are being built showing, in one side, the establishment of infrastructure in the interest of large corporations, as a pretense hub in Itaguaí, the port terminal of Tubarão, the Carajás-Itaqui railway for mineral transportation.In the other side, one sees the formation of a global huge city region composed by the metropolitan regions of Santos, São Paulo and Campinas.Although a persistent large inequality of income distribution, large urban spaces in environments of very low quality, recurrent scandals of corruption at the high levels of the public administration, one can not expect in a medium term social tensions similar to what goes on Europe and in USA.The discourse for a higher position of the country in the international scenario sounds higher.
