We analyze how the two main environmental policies - Protected Areas and the Forest Code - have played out at the ground level in western Bahia state. These policies in Cerrado have not been designed to curb the expansion of this agricultural frontier. These norms have, on the contrary, accommodated this expansion because the way environmental managers selectively choose environmental problems and publicize them through specific information systems depreciates traditional fire-dependent production systems. These 'politics of selection' are likely to increase competition for resources in the margins of soybean agriculture, which is where traditional populations have now become confined. specialized DEFORESTATION ECOLOGIE GESTION DE L'ENVIRONNEMENT SYSTEME D'INFORMATION GEOGRAPHIQUE NORME SOJA POLITIQUE AGRICOLE SOCIETE TRADITIONNELLE PARC NATIONAL FORET RESERVE NATURELLE LEGISLATION INDUSTRIE AGRICULTURE TRADITIONNELLE DEVELOPPEMENT RURAL AGROPASTORALISME PETITE PROPRIETE GRANDE PROPRIETE POLITIQUE DE L'ENVIRONNEMENT AIRE PROTEGEE LUTTE CONRE LE FEU BRESIL BAHIA 021ENVECO 098RURAL1 082RESERV02 43 2 494-516 2016 0306-6150 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010064562 10.1080/03066150.2015.1013099 0306-6150 [F B010064562] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010064562 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/depot/2019-09-20/010064562.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2015-06-26 2025-11-04 fdi:010064562 fre
