The present thesis aims to understand the process of territorial organization of Rio Pardo County (RS) from territorial transformations throughout distinct historical moments, since its foundation until the contemporary action of new political and economical factors which take place in the county observed. The main objectives sought here are: (a) characterize the differing marks of economic stagnation undertaken by the county along time; (b) apprehend the economic effects of the globalization process in the Gaucha economy as well as in Rio Pardo county which is responsible for transformations in traditional agricultural activities; (c) comprehend the State role and also the public policies and private companies in Rio Pardo, that redefine new dynamics and territorial functionalities; (d) verify how such new dynamics cause repercussion in the social and economic sectors; as well as in the culture, reorganizing the territory of the county observed. The methodology of this study is based on the dialectic method, aiming to comprehend along time the different historical periods of development and stagnation that Rio Pardo went through; and its social-territorial consequences. The research was carried out through a collection of primary data, such as semi-structured and open interviews and photographic record taken during field work. All secondary data was extracted from publications of the Statistic and Geographical Brazilian Institute, from FEE (State Economical Foundation) and Emater. The territorial organization of Rio Pardo county is the result of a historical process that is confused with Rio Grande do Sul own history. In reason of many transformations of the social, political and economic order suffered by the gaucho territory, the city was losing importance in the political and economic scenarios; as it kept its productive base set in the traditional and animal agriculture; therefore becoming a stagnated territory with no economic dynamics able to attract investments and develop itself. Currently in reason of the new capitalist thinking in Rio Grande do Sul and different public policies towards development, it s possible to notice new dynamics taking place in the territory and causing technical, cultural, political and economical changes in Rio Pardo.
