• Abstract:

  Electronic Commerce is taken as a guideline for a geographical analysis of its structure and its analysis regarding the recent transformations in the scope of the realization of the merchandise and its spatial logistics from different aspects. Among these, we will present some theoretical sketches about its macroeconomic and structural context and its influence on the current economic scenario in Brazil and Latin America. In December 2019, the world became aware of a new disease that was rapidly spreading to the current evolution in its Pandemic state. COVID-19 is a respiratory disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. And it had its zoonotic origin and its first case was reported in the city of Wuhan, China. The years 2020 and 2021 will certainly be marked by drastic changes in social behavior as a form of prevention and security, but also by the impacts on the economic field as a whole. In view of this, this work aims to analyze the electronic commerce scenario in the context of macroeconomic transformations and the conceptual approach to Geographic Science.
