Abstract
The author analyzes state policy in the agricultural sector - sugar - in the light of major changes in socio-political and economic structures and in view of the particular relations between the state and civil society. The main features of this new system of relations between the post-64 state and civil Society in the sugar sector are delineated. First, a brief overview of the history of sugar in Brazil before 1964 provides necessary background for the analyses of recent policies. Then, a discussion of the major structural transformations affecting sugar production is followed by an examination of state response to these changing conditions between 1964 and 1978. Finally, an epilogue touches briefly on recent events.
