| Summary: | Political issues have always played a central role in the development of the westernmost part of the State of Bahia. Nowadays, however, they have become relevant at a regional scale. In fact, the debate of three major emerging issues has become necessary to better understand the current political geography of Western Bahia: (a) territorial disputes with neighboring states (especially Goiás and Tocantins, but also Minas Gerais and Piauí); (b) the alleged creation of the Rio São Francisco State and new towns in the region; and (c) foreign immigration. The purpose of this article is therefore to present a brief overview of these themes. |
