The thesis entitled 360° THE SUGAR PERIPLUS TOWARDS THE SUGARCANE MACROREGION OF SOUTH-CENTRAL BRAZIL has sugar as object of analysis and its spatial distribution over the globe. The research approaches its subject through a proposal for a regionalization of the sugar industry, distinguishing nine global macroregions. Those are the Indian Subcontinent, the Arab World, the Europe, the Gran-Caribe, the United States of America, the Southeast of Asia, the Australasia, the Southeast of Africa and the Sugarcane Macroregion of South-Central Brazil. The analysis is based on the study of the historic geography and the contemporary history of each of those areas, to reach the conclusions of establishing an overview of world sugar production in the present moment. The conclusion is that in the current period of globalization, the Sugarcane Macroregion of South-Central Brazil played an hegemonic role in the World Sugar Market. (AU) | |
