Abstract

The Amazon has been an object of attention all over the world for its rich nature, with around 15% of all the biodiversity, such as 20% of the existing fresh water and thousands of species and also because of the threat to all this wealth that has become a highlight in the global press, due to complex causes, followed by the scenario of low socio-economic development. This research aims at the hypothetical evaluation of a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) focused on bioeconomy in the Amazon and relies on the link between social and economic results, the great potential for economic development based on the sustainable use of its biome and on the creation of SEZ as a development strategy. This research uses as methodology qualitative and inductive analysis of secondary data from international development promotion institutions and relevant studies on the topic and primary collected information from public entities. Therefore, it demonstrates motivations and points of attention for the proposal, including comparisons with development policies currently adopted in the Legal Amazon.
