Coffee From Brazil, Colombia And Latin America

This thesis has some goals to achieve. Some are theoretical, such as those pertaining to the merits and criticisms of the dependency theories, to assess the breadth of these theories in the context of globalization and verify if they can be applied to the coffee segment. It also aims to assess whether the role of core countries, according to the dependency theories, has been transferred to transnational corporations, studying the specific case of the international coffee market, and to contribute to the development of scientific knowledge in the field of international relations.
