Abstract: Abstract How can we access globalization socioecological effects from a local standpoint? This research bring an empirical data based on the case study on the effects of the diffusion of solar PV enterprises at specific localities in the Northeast Brazil. We investigate the role of civil society movements on the diffusion of solar PV enterprises through the specific case of one civil society movement in the state of Paraíba. We identify the main arguments from the literature regarding the debate on globalization effects and we analyze this issue from a broad perspective of a socioecological system. We point out that although there has been a political articulation toward taxing wind and, possibly, solar exploration, actors could search for other alternatives of solutions prioritizing local population socioecological development.
