Abstract: This article aims to analyze and understand, in a context of globalization, the interactions between local and global that allow a better autonomy of local territories. In this objective, we studied a territory of Eastern Amazonia, considered rural and isolated, but integrated in the processes of globalization: Mocajuba-Pa. An analysis of flows within the municipality and between this and abroad, as well as the different local development projects was conducted. This analysis showed the local impacts of globalized influences, such as the homogenization of consumption models and the fragmentation of the territory. However, local initiatives and their connections with the global have also been highlighted, emphasizing a locus that interacts with several scales. These experiences, based on the articulation of the different scales and actors, stand out for having potential for greater autonomy of the territory.
