Resumo: This paper critically discusses the implementation of Special Economic Zones (SEZ) and the construction of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) as projects that resulted in a regressive redistribution of land ownership in India after the 1991 liberalizing reforms. Based on official documents, land legislation and the discussion of protests against deterritorialization, I propose a re-reading of the strategies designed by the Government of India to make land available for capitalist infrastructure. Against the notion of “domestic regimes of dispossession”, I show that SEZ, CIDM and the most recent ‘Make in India’ are programs to attract foreign investment, transform the country into a ‘manufacturing hub’ and increase the volume of exports. In this way, I argue for a rearticulation of the “interior-exterior dialectic”, in which the coercive measures for the dispossession of the peasantry are not analytically separated from the strategies to promote India’s insertion and competitiveness in the global scenario.

Com base na análise de documentos oficiais, da legislação agrária e na discussão de protestos contra a desterritorialização, proponho uma releitura das estratégias do Governo da Índia para promover a disponibilização de terras para grandes empreendimentos. Contra a vertente que se apoia na noção de “regimes domésticos de despossessão”, argumento que as ZEE, o CIDM e o mais recente Make in India foram concebidos para atrair investimentos estrangeiros, transformar o país num “manufacturing hub” e aumentar o volume de exportações. Trata-se, portanto, de uma rearticulação da “dialética interior-exterior”, na qual as medidas coercitivas internas não são analiticamente separadas das estratégias para promover a maior inserção e competitividade da Índia no cenário global.UFBA2023-08-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionDouble-blid peer-reviewed articleArtigo avaliado por pares em regime de duplo anonimatoapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/5189710.9771/aa.v0i67.51897Afro-Ásia; No. 67 (2023); 350-397Afro-Ásia; n. 67 (2023); 350-3971981-14110002-0591reponame:Afro-Ásia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)instacron:UFBAporhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/51897/29568Copyright (c) 2023 Luiz Enrique Vieira de Souzahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSouza, Luiz Enrique Vieira de2023-08-10T16:19:11Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufba.br:article/51897Revistahttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasiaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/oaiafroasia@ufba.br1981-14110002-0591opendoar:2023-08-10T16:19:11Afro-Ásia (Online) - Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)false
