私人殖民是利用公司和合作社来测量、划定和占用土地，建造基础设施，开放道路，规划城市地区，并提供保健服务和教育。虽然国家主导的殖民项目与巴西亚马逊地区最近的环境和社会变化密切相关，但私人殖民定居的地区比国家主导的定居点更大。本文认为，这方面的研究不佳，该地区最近的定居历史，集中在殖民合作社和私人公司，解决小农从巴西南部到马托格罗索州东部之间的1970年和1980年。分析强调了私人殖民合作社如何成功地获得土地所有权，为随后的商业农业发展奠定了基础。这项研究拒绝私人殖民作为一种工具，在巴西独裁政府的普遍解释。相反，私人殖民化确保了土地保有权，并在不可预测的国家官僚机构、高交易成本、风险和不稳定市场的边境环境中组织了经济上可行的生产系统。(c)2005爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Private colonization is the use of companies and cooperatives to survey, demarcate and occupy land, build infrastructure, open roads, plan urban areas, and provide health services and education. Although state-directed colonization projects are strongly implicated in recent environmental and social changes in the Brazilian Amazon, areas settled by private colonization were larger than state-led settlement. The paper considers this poorly examined aspect of the region's recent settlement history by focusing upon a colonization cooperative and private company that settled smallholders from southern Brazil to eastern Mato Grosso State between 1970 and 1980. The analysis emphasizes how private colonization cooperatives successfully secured land title, setting the stage for subsequent commercial agricultural development. This study rejects prevailing interpretations of private colonization as a tool of authoritarian government in Brazil. Rather, private colonization secured land tenure and organized an economically viable production system in a frontier environment of unpredictable state bureaucracies, high transaction costs, risk, and precarious markets.
