| Abstract | |
This study aims to analyze the Growth Acceleration Program (in Portuguese, PAC), which has generated large-scale development transformations in Brasil, modifying territorial, political, economic and social structures. Through this study, it was understood how the Brazilian State elaborates its economic and political strategies, as well as territories appropriation, development and incorporation. In Brazil it was experienced several territorial policies concerning infrastructure and agrarian reform during the twentieth century, which led to a significant expansion in the territorial scope, in general, and in the Amazonian territory, specifically. In general context, these actions characterize Brazilian current configuration, as far as social, economic, political, regional and territorial. The main objective consisted in analyzing PAC effects in Brazilian territory based on construction of hydroelectric plants in the Amazon, considering those interventions as the materialization of Lula and Dilma governments then understand developmentalism as a strategy for the advancement and implementation of government actions. It was formulated as specific objectives: a) To analyze, from the perspective of developmentalism, Luís Inácio Lula da Silva (2002-2010) and Dilma Roussef (2011-2014) governments actions, identifying their main political and administrative characteristics; b) To assess the construction of hydroelectric plants in the Amazon as PAC 1 and 2 projects as case study and to understand its relation with the growth of the national electrical sector and the Brazilian economic development; c) To identify the main economic and political agents involved in the construction of PAC hydroelectric plants in the Brazilian Amazon; d) To evaluate PAC 1 and 2 at the local, state and national levels, under energy infrastructure bias, analyzing periodic reports published by the Government against the fieldwork and information of research and social movements; e) To elaborate a PAC territorial synthesis grounded on the information and data investigated to identify the differences in the execution of works in accordance with the interests of the Government allied to large companies and economic agents. The methodology employed in this work sought to build the analytical instruments mobilized during the study: bibliographic survey, the methodological steps, the variables, the indicators, temporal and spatial delimitations and how results have been analyzed. It can be precisely said that the thesis with which we responded the research problem is that PAC is a territorial policy. In turn, this policy does not meet the needs of this territory, which are social, economic and environmental. Therefore, within the developmental and liberal molds, overall it benefits (unlike attending) the investing groups and the capitalist sectors, especially and, as a matter of priority. (AU) | |
