This article aims to understand the emerging e-commerce in its relationship with the economic logic placed between the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, especially after the rise of China as a political and economic power. To this end, we employ the understanding of long cycles, created by Nikolai Kondratiev and organized by Schumpeter (1939). As research techniques, analyzes were carried out on the financial reports of companies in the sector, and on data systematized by specialized consultants. As a result, the American company Amazon Inc. attempts to internationalize, especially in emerging markets, while Chinese companies, notably Alibaba, focus on strengthening the domestic market.

Electric energy was one of the main pillars of the Second Industrial Revolution, causing social, economic and environmental changes, allowing the development of industry, the occasional participation of peripheral countries in international production, urbanization and new means of transport. It has become fundamental for economic/industrial development. In view of this, we investigated how Brazil and the state of Santa Catarina reacted to this reality. We seek to analyze the role of the electric sector in the industrial/economic formation of Santa Catarina, based on a historical rescue, from the perspective of socio-spatial formation. It is a research based on bibliographic consultations, onsite observations, debates and technical visits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
