Descripción
Sumario:The present article derives from a Master research through which we explored the concept of “marginal upper circuit”, proposed by the geographer Milton Santos. In order to address this question, the production of medicines in the Brazilian territory was analysed. In this article, we focus on the spatial impacts of three main phenomena: firstly, the transposition of the global agreement on property rights (Trips agreement) into the Brazilian legislation. Secondly, the normative upheaval faced by the pharmaceutical activity in Brazil during the 1990s. Finally, the beginning of the production of generic medicines in 1999. We point out some technical and political challenges brought about in the current historical period, when the norms present themselves as the main factor within the spatial systems.
